Chinese mythological creatures (神兽) come into the spotlight, appearing in the Fantastic Beasts movie series.

In the second Fantastic Beasts movie, audiences enjoyed watching The zouwu, a creature from The Classic of Mountains and Seas (《山海经》). In the third Fantastic Beasts movie, The Secrets of Dumbledore, it’s the qilin’s time to shine.

The qilin in the wizarding (魔法) world is a very rare creature, only found in East China.

With a head like a dragon and a body like a deer or horse, the qilin is seen as a gentle creature in Chinese culture. It can tell between good and evil and can even bring luck, said China Daily. There are ancient stories of court trials (法庭审判) based on the qilin’s knowledge of whether a person was good or evil.

There are other mythical creatures that crisscross (交错于) cultures, too. In Chinese culture, the phoenix (凤凰) is very important. It stands for luck and is the “king of birds”. In the West, it stands for immortality and rebirth, rising from the ashes (灰烬) of a fire.

Although they look alike, dragons in China and the West are very different beasts. The dragon is a respected creature in China, symbolizing good luck. But in the West, they represent evil, greed (贪婪) and destruction (毁灭), said the website Top China Travel.

27、Everyone needs friends. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complains (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can’t be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have a good talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you can write a letter.

There are three steps to be friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend did wrong and talk about why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.
