B
There is a special club at Beijing New Oriental Yangzhou Foreign Language School, Jiangsu. It is called the Tongcao Flowers Paper Art Workshop. It just won the top prize at a school event.
The students and teachers worked for two months to make thousands of beautiful tongcao flowers and the big show place was full of the tongcao flowers.
Making these flowers takes many steps. First, they cut the tongcao paper into different sizes. Then they shape the wet paper into petals(花瓣） and put them together like a real flower. Finally, they colour the paper.
For 14-year-old Ren Daiyang, shaping the petals is the hardest(最困难的） part. “The tongcao paper dries fast, so I need to shape it in just 10 seconds.”
“I spend more than two hours making a tongcao flower. It teaches me to be patient(有耐心的）,” said 13-year-old Zhang Shiyu. “I love this paper art and want to help keep it going.”
