The word "zhiyin", which means close friends, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.

Boya was good at playing guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya's surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who1to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they reached an2to meet again in the following year.

The feeling of the music was so strong that it was5the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya6played again.

People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to7the deep relationship between Boya and Ziqi, which became an important part of the8culture. Hanyang now is a district（区）of Wuhan, Hubei Province.

Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period. The famous ancient Chinese classical music piece Gaoshan Liushui, also known as High Mountain and Flowing Water, was9during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016. It was developed based on this story.

What is one of the best parts of travelling abroad? It's the food, of course! It can be a1experience to enjoy different foods that are prepared by locals.

I came to know this after my travel in China. Ever since I was a boy, I have always enjoyed eating Chinese food at home in America. But, to be honest, I only 2about vegetable lo meins（捞面） and spring rolls because these were commonly served in the restaurants near my home. I knew that real Chinese dishes3greatly from the ones that could be found in those places. Before I left for China, I felt worried about whether I would really end up enjoying the food or not. After all, I had never been a very brave or open-minded4and I wouldn't put anything new into my mouth.

During my first few days in Beijing, I did not5 everything that I tried. I especially disliked breakfast. One of the most common breakfast items was baozi. I found it 6that people ate so much meat for breakfast. But after these first couple of days, I7 got used to the food. And I fell in love with one of Beijing's most famous dishes — Peking duck. I especially liked the various tasty sauces and the thin, crispy （酥脆的） duck skin.

As I travelled to some other cities around China, I learned that each place had its own dishes that it8 . I enjoyed rice noodles in Guilin, xiaolongbao in Shanghai, and hot pot in Chengdu. When it was time to return home, I felt upset. I knew that I would9 the different kinds of foods throughout China.

Through my trip in China, I learned that to truly enjoy Chinese food, one must go directly to China. Yet more importantly, this trip taught me to always have an open mind to10 things.
