The Double-Seventh Day refers to the seventh day of the seventh month on the Chinese lunar calendar.

In ancient times， the Double-Seventh Day was a festival especially for young women. Girls， whether from rich or poor families， would put on their holiday best to celebrate the annual meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Parents would place an incense burner （香爐） in the courtyard and lay out some fruit as offerings. Then all the girls in the family would kowtow to Niu Lang and Zhi Nu and pray for ingenuity （靈巧）.

In the Tang Dynasty about 1，000 years ago， rich families in the capital city of Chang'an would set up a decorated tower in the courtyard and name it the “Tower of Praying for Ingenuity”. They prayed for various types of ingenuity. Most girls would pray for outstanding sewing or cooking skills. Girls and women would gather together in a square and look into the star-filled night sky. They would put their hands behind their backs， holding a needle and thread. At the word “start”， they would try to thread the needle. Zhi Nu， the Weaver Girl， would bless the one who succeeded first. The ladies would also show off their fried cookies made in many different shapes. They would invite the Weaver Girl to judge who was the best. In the past these were important virtues for a woman.

A long， long time ago， a terrible drought plagued the earth. Ten suns burned fiercely in the sky like smoldering volcanoes.

The King of Heaven sent Hou Yi down to the earth to help. When Hou Yi arrived， he took out his red bow and white arrows and shot down nine suns one after another. The weather immediately turned cooler.

One day， a charming young woman， Chang'e， makes her way home from a stream， holding a bamboo container. A young man comes forward， and asks for a drink. When she sees the red bow and white arrows hanging from his belt， Chang'e realizes that he is their saviour， Hou Yi. Inviting him to drink， Chang'e plucks a beautiful flower and gives it to him as a token of respect. Hou Yi， in turn， selects a beautiful silver fox fur as his gift for her. This meeting kindles the spark of their love， and soon after that， they get married.

Out of respect for the good deeds he has done， the Western Queen Mother rewards Hou Yi with an elixir （仙丹）， saying， “If you and your wife share their elixir， you will both enjoy eternal life. But if only one of you takes it， that one will ascend to Heaven and become immortal.”

A wicked man named Feng Meng overhears this. He kills Hou Yi， runs to Hou Yi's home and tries to force Chang'e to give him the elixir. Without hesitating， Chang'e picks up the elixir and drinks it all. Soon the elixir begins to have its effect and Chang'e feels herself being lifted towards Heaven.

You may not be familiar with the Russian Republic of Kalmykia. This article will make you a little more familiar with it. A cultural delegation of Tibetan artists and religious figures went to Kalmykia to present “Tibetan Cultural Week”.

The opening ceremony， held in Elista， the capital of Kalmykia， was attended by high-ranking officials from both sides. The “Tibetan Cultural Week” is part of the “Year of China in Russia”， a much-hailed initiative of cultural diplomacy between the two countries.

Between September 12th and 15th， the city witnessed a series of performances， art shows and symposiums （討論會(huì)） dedicated to the history and culture of Tibet. Given the mysterious aura （氣氛） of Tibet， the event proved inspiring as well as informative.

A visitor said， “I feel that we have a lot in common. I don't think there is any barrier in terms of mutual understanding and communication.”

Another visitor said， “I like the show. The photos are very well arranged. It's a reflection of reality in Tibet. Very interesting！”

In a congratulatory letter， Kirsan Iliumzhinov， President of the Russian Republic of Kalmykia， praises the cultural week for making great efforts to deepen mutual understanding and to enhance trust. （Source： CCTV. com Friday 09-14-2018 09：09）

Little remains of the original Potala Palace built in the seventh century， as a place of ?meditation by King Songtsen Gampo on the occasion of his marriage to Princess Wencheng of the Tang Court. Standing atop the Red Hill in Lhasa， the current structure dates from the 17th century; it was rebuilt by the 5th Dalai Lama and became the Winter Palace for Dalai Lamas from that time. The 13-storey building of 1，000 rooms can be seen from many miles away.

The Potala is divided into two sections—an outer section， the White Palace， and an inner section， the Red Palace， the latter containing the temples and reliquary （遺骨） tombs of the Dalai Lamas. The entire building is a structure of stone and timber. At a height of 117 metres， the Potala was the world's tallest building until 20th-century architects designed cityscapes of new buildings that far surpassed the Potala in height—but not in its architectural majesty （威嚴(yán)）.

There are small palaces within grand palaces. The Potala stands so high that it looks like a magnificent castle in the heavens. The statues of King Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng are the worship. Among the eight tomb pagodas （塔） of the Dalai Lamas， the tomb of the fifth Dalai Lama is the most extravagant （奢侈的）， standing 14 metres high. Eleven thousand ounces of gold were used in the gold plating， and the designs and decorations are all inlaid with diamonds and pearls as well as turquoise （綠寶石）， agate （瑪瑙）， and coral stones.

There are two types of twins： identical（相同的） and non-identical twins. Identical twins are formed from a single egg（卵細(xì)胞） in mother's body which divides to form two separate babies. Identical twins look the same， and are often dressed by the parents in clothes of the same colour. It is often difficult to tell identical twins from each other， even when they are standing side by side. Non-identical twins came into being when the mother produces two separated eggs at the same time， both of which grow to form babies. In the case the twins look like normal brothers and sisters and are easy to tell one from the other.

In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research on twins. He invited many pairs of identical twins to university and asked them to take part in a week of tests. He was particularly interested in adopted（收養(yǎng)的） twins who had been separated， at birth. He would give the twins different kinds of tests to study their speed of thinking， their speech， their memory， the ways they saw and heard different things and so on. Time and time again he found separated twins preferred clothes of the same colour， used the same kind of shaving soap， wore the same shaped square glasses and the same coloured socks.

There is a third type of twins， but it is a very unusual one. Twins who are joined together at birth are known in western countries as Siamese （連體的） twins.
