Zibo city in Shandong province has【小题1】(expect) gone viral on Chinese social media since late February for its local barbecue specialty.

Passengers who board the train【小题2】(greet) by a banner reading “Welcome to the Special BBQ Train” at the entrance of the carriage. They also receive items 【小题3】(include) leaflets about Zibo’s culture and tourism draws, as well as small souvenirs and snacks. Many also took videos and posted them on social media, drawing more visitors. Barbecue is popular in China,【小题4】Zibo’s barbecue is different on three counts; it’s made on a stove, and is served【小题5】flatbread and dressings. The skewers are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table,【小题6】 diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, which lends a sense of 【小题7】(participate). Diners are served flatbreads, scallions and other dressings at the table so they are able to assemble their own barbecue parcels, in much【小题8】same way Peking duck is eaten.

The barbecue suddenly went viral after a group of college students shot videos of themselves【小题9】(enjoy) a meal and posted them on social media in late February. However, the trend may be eventually end if the local government doesn’t take proper follow-up measures to promote the city as a whole, its culture and 【小题10】(tour), as well as its living and business environment.

Across the world, people prepare and drink tea in many 【小题1】 (difference) ways. The handmade purple clay teapot (紫砂壶) is one of the most popular 【小题2】 (item) among tea lovers in Asia. But the skill of making that particular teapot faces a lot of challenges in modern times.

Chinese people 【小题3】 (drink) tea for thousands of years. And 【小题4】 (recent), these handmade teapots have become popular. As an old saying goes, “A thing is valued if it is rare.”

Tea sets (茶具) have been 【小题5】 key part of Chinese culture. Gao Dezhi, 99, has been making purple clay teapots since he 【小题6】 (be) 13 years old. This kind of skill is passed down from generation to generation or taught to those 【小题7】 are crazy about the craft. Gao said that his son and daughter are not 【小题8】 (interest) in learning such skills. They already earn a lot of money by 【小题9】 (work) in other jobs. People cannot make such things if they have no interest in learning the skill, he said.

In order to protect skills 【小题10】 disappearing, local people have built a special museum where masters can show their craft.

“Those who live by the mountains profit from mountains, and those who live by the water profit from water.” The Chinese 【小题1】(novel) Feng Menglong wrote in his collection Stories to Awaken the World in the 17^th century, 【小题2】(summarize) Chinese people’s attitude toward food. China’s southeastern coastal areas can add the sea to 【小题3】 list.

A common and affordable eat is oyster omelet, known as o-a-tsian of southeastern Fujian province, a street dish that 【小题4】(combine) the fruits of the sea and the land-oysters, eggs and starch. Visitors to Fujian, Taiwan and the Chaoshan region, can find o-a-tsian in street stalls 【小题5】 early morning till late night.

Although it’s a mystery 【小题6】 local residents invented this dish, some vivid folktales give it a fanciful aura. One of them said Zheng Chenggong came up with the idea of deep frying the oysters coated with sweet potato starch 【小题7】(feed) his army when the Dutch cut off their supply of rice, saving them from hunger and eventually driving the Dutch out.

【小题8】(recipe) for a o-a-tsian vary in Fujian, Taiwan and Chaoshan. When immigrants from these areas moved to some Southeast Asian countries, the dish 【小题9】(adapt) with local ingredients. 【小题10】 each version of o-a-tsian always includes small oysters covered with sweet potato starch and egg batter.
