Dear Henry，
Knowing you are so interested intraditional Chinese culture that you areplanning to take a related course outside ofschool， I highly recommend the course“Introduction to Chinese Culture” offeredby the local cultural center.
The subjects of the course， whether itis history， philosophy， art or traditions，allprovide a comprehensive overview ofvarious aspects of Chinese culture. It notonly covers theoretical knowledge but alsohas practical activities， such as calligraphyand tea ceremony classes.
To learn the course well， I suggestimmersing yourself in Chinese culture asmuch as possible. Additionally， practicingMandarin Chinese would also be beneficialas it will help you understand the cultureon a deeper level.
I believe this course will be a wonderfulopportunity for you to explore andappreciate the richness of traditionalChinese culture.
Best regards，

Dear Jenny，
Thank you for asking about the recentdiscovery of ancient Chinese wooden slips.
Discovered in Chongqing Municipality，these wooden slips date back to theWestern Han Dynasty and provide insightsinto the Chinese astronomical calendar.The wellpreservedset of 23 slips relatedto the Ten Heavenly Stems and 12 EarthlyBranches， used to divide a day into 12twohourperiods. This discovery is significantas it sheds light on burial customs ofthe area and the history of China.
The tomb dates back to 193 BC，making it one of the oldest Western HanDynasty tombs and contributing to ourunderstanding of Chinese culture.
