    Today, we share our cultural lesson "Beautiful Taiwan" homework. 今天, 我們分享文化課“美麗臺灣”的功課。 Jīntiān fèn xiǎng wǒmen de wénhuà kè “měilì Táiwān” gōngkè. WDCTS  華府台灣學校 Huá fǔ táiwān xuéxiào   功課 熊大東 February 27th 2022 Water buffalo are useful for their labor because they help farmers daily. Many billions of rice grains have been supported by these gentle water buffalo giants. I also compare the Taiwanese version of the water buffalo to the African water buffalo which often fights against lions. The water buffalo is truly an iconic creature in Taiwan and around the world. I read that “an old water buffalo, a rice paddy, and an egret on the wing” is a scene deeply embedded in the Chinese subconscious. 水牛對他們的勞動很有用，因為它們每天都在幫助農民。 這些溫柔的水牛巨人支撐了數十億米粒。 我還將台灣版的水牛與經常與獅子打架的非洲水牛進行了比較。 水牛是台灣乃至世界的標誌性生物。 我讀到 “ 老水牛，稻田，翅膀上的白鷺 ” 是一個深深植根於中國人潛 意識的場景。 Shuǐniú duì tāmen de láodòng hěn yǒuyòng, yīnwèi tāmen měitiān dū zài bāngzhù nóngmín.

We discuss "Chinese Kinship Titles" on Lesson three. We touch the issues of "equal opportunities regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, and disability."  This lesson without "grandmother" pictures probably needs some modifications." 我們在第三課討論“中國親屬稱謂”。 我們觸及“不分種族、膚色、國籍、宗教、性別、年齡,和殘疾的平等機會”的問題。 沒有“祖母”圖片的這課可能需要一些修改。 W...
