• "A Brief History of Bathing": We almost bathe every day, but did you know? Ancient humans bathing in rivers risked having their clothes snatched by wild beasts or being nibbled by fish. Ancient people in winter could barely keep up with the freezing temperatures, even with a crowd of servants delivering hot water! Emperors not only built hot springs for themselves and their consorts but also gave "bathing leaves" to their ministers. Generations of Chinese have been innovating in the art of bathing, leading to our modern showers, bubble baths, and saunas... Wow, so that's the history of bathing! Baby smells so sweet after a bath, let's blow-dry your hair!
• "A Brief History of Eating": We eat every day, but did you know? In ancient times, primitive humans lived on raw meats and often had stomach aches. Later, people learned to use fire, gradually added seasonings, and built kitchens. Cooking methods became more diverse - boiling, frying, stewing, roasting... The Chinese believe food is paramount and possess endless wisdom regarding eating. The advent of online malls and takeout has made eating even more convenient and quick. Wow, so that's the history of eating! Baby, wash your little hands and come sit down, it's time to eat!
• "A Brief History of Schooling": Baby's growing up and it's time to go to school, but do you know how schools have evolved? Every generation in China has placed great importance on education. From kindergarten through university, schooling is essential for every child to grow up to be a "true person."
• "A Brief History of Money": We almost buy things every day, but did you know? In ancient times, there was no currency, and bartering was so troublesome! Later, smart people started using shells as a general equivalent, the earliest form of money. Each place had different coins; wouldn't it be more convenient to standardize them? Then came paper money, electronic currency... Thanks to the efforts of generations of Chinese, shopping has become easier and easier. Wow, so that's the history of money! Baby, save up a little pocket money every day and try to shop by yourself!
• "A Brief History of Travel": Baby loves to go out and play, and so does the little dog on walks. We travel by car, subway, even by airplane, but do you know how travel methods have evolved step by step? Generation after generation in China has pondered and explored travel, making it possible for us to go anywhere we want - into the sky, under the sea, or underground.
• "A Brief History of Medicine": When we're sick, we see a doctor, but did you know? A long, long time ago, there were no doctors in the world, and when people got sick, they could only pray to the heavens. Later, they found herbs to stop bleeding, flowers to relieve coughs, and fruits to treat diarrhea in nature. Then, the Chinese invented acupuncture, elixirs, the Five Animal Frolics, decoctions... More and more diseases were cured, and people lived longer. Now, seeing a doctor has become more convenient - with pills, vaccinations, X-rays... The birth of these technologies makes sickness less frightening. Wow! So that's the history of medicine! To stay healthy, remember to get vaccinated, baby!"
