　　For you, the “Clear and Bright” day that falls in every April might be no more than just another holiday — the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students 61 (much) than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms (二十四节气).

　　But this ancient system that Chinese people have used 62 (keep) track of the time of year was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产)on Nov. 30.

　　To be fair, the terms do sound old; they 63 (invent) thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural 64 (activity). But the truth is 65 they still have an influence on our lives today, even if we don’t realize it most of the time. For example, people from 66 (north) China are in the habit of eating dumplings 67 the day of Winter Solstice (冬至). And on Start of Autumn, some treat 68 (they) to a big feast, especially of meat, something they call “putting on autumn weight”, or tieqiubiao.

　　According to Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun, the system is a philosophy of time, 69 applies to everything. And this means they are 70 (likely) to die out.
