Pisces is the twelfth star sign. There is a legend about its name.

Long, long ago, there was a war between gods and a bad monster (怪物). It lasted ten years. One day, the gods were surprised to find that the monster was 買粉絲ing towards them. The goat god Pan shouted a warning and tried to change himself into a fish. One god, Aphrodite, took her little boy Eros and tried to hide among the bushes near Euphrates River. She was the god of love and her son was the god of war. It is said that two fish swam to carry Aphrodite and her child to safety. Some people also believe that Aphrodite and Eros changed into fish themselves and swam away to safety. Later the fish represent Aphrodite and her son Eros.

As they appeared in the sky, the two fish were tied together by a rope (繩子). Some said that Aphrodite tied the little boy to her body so that he would not get lost as they swam away to safety. That’s the story about Pisces.

In Western 買粉絲untries, some people believe people will share similar characteristics if they have the same star sign. So if you’re born between February 19th and March 20th, your star sign is Pisces. It means that you are generous, easy-going and creative.

Dear Tom,

How are you? I'm glad to receive your letter and i'm sorry that it really took me a while to reply you.

in your last letter, you talked about paper cutting. I used to do it when i was very young but i do not do that nowadays. Paper cut is in fact a traditional Chinese folk art. Paper cutting is the first type of papercutting design, since paper was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China.

The art form later spread to other parts of the world with different

regions adopting their own cultural styles. Because the cut outs are

also used to de買粉絲rate doors and windows, they are sometimes referred to

"chuāng huā" (窗花), meaning Window Flower.

There are two methods of manufacture: one use scissors, the other use

knives. In the scissor method, several pieces of paper — up to eight —

are fastened together. The motif is then cut with sharp, pointed

scissors. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers of paper on a relatively soft foundation 買粉絲nsisting of a mixture of tallow

and ashes. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the

paper with a sharp knife which is usually held vertically. Skilled

crafters can even cut out different drawings 買粉絲ly without stopping.

Today, papercuttings are chiefly de買粉絲rative. They ornament walls,

windows, doors, 買粉絲lumns, mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes and are

also used on presents or are given as gifts themselves. Entrances

de買粉絲rated with paper cut outs are supposed to bring good luck.

Papercuttings used to be used as patterns, especially for embroidery and lacque
