22、There are proverbs (谚语) around spoken English. We do not normally put them in a composition or letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples:

Once bitten, twice shy. If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush but not be able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.

Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup). When too many people do something together, they get in each other’s way and cannot do a good job.

To pour oil on troubled waters. It is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.

Don’t be a dog in a manger (槽). It means “Don’t be selfish.” In a stable (马房), the manger is the place where the horse’s food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.

He is sitting on the fence. It means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.

He who pays the piper calls the tune. A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.

You cannot get blood out of a stone. Means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. For example, you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.

23、   During the New Stone Age people invented bone needles and began to sew simple winter dress. With the development of the society, people were engaged in agriculture and they started to spin and weave.

In the class society, dress became the symbol of social status. It was from the Xia and Shang Dynasties that the dress system was born in China. In the Zhou Dynasty, the system was perfected.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the economy boomed and people led a quiet life. People from different countries gathered in Chang’ an and Luoyang to promote the international cultural exchange.

On the other hand the ideology (思想) also directly influenced dress and adornment (装饰) During the Warring States Period, many vassal (诸侯) states were competing with each other, hence the patterns of dress and adornment became diversified. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the unity of ancient China and the prosperity of economy brought about new thoughts, and the dress became very good. Because of the intensity of the feudal ideology, the patterns of dress and adornment gradually became conservative from the Song and Ming Dynasties. Influenced by western cultures, the designs were more fitting and tasteful from late Ming.

Rules were made for the color of ancient dress and adornment. Yellow was the most valuable color as a symbol of the center. Green, red, white and black symbolized the East, the South, the West and the North respectively. Green, red, black, white and yellow were pure colors applied by the emperors and officials. The common people could only use he secondary colors.

The geometrical (几何的) patterns the pictures of animals and plants were widely used on ancient dress and adornment. The compositions were balanced. During the Tang and Song Dynasties more attention was paid to the compositions. From the Ming and Qing Dynasties most of the patterns were realistic.
