一、阅读理解。
The Chinese pingfeng(the folding screen) is an important part of traditional Chinese furniture(家具). The earliest common use of pingfeng dated back to the Han Dynasty. The term pingfeng means "keeping away from wind", which tells us the original use of the screen.
As time passed, it was made in different sizes with colourful paintings. The Chinese screens often feature a dragon motif(装饰图案). It means light, growth, and life-giving water. It's also a symbol of nobility(高贵的品质) and power. The peacock(雄孔雀), a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens too. It's a symbol of immortality. Beautiful flowers, which mean being rich and good luck, are also a popular design of the pingfeng. All the motifs carry people's beautiful wishes.
Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, an unmarried(未婚的) young woman of a rich family should not see or be seen by men other than her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When a suitor(求婚者) came to visit, the unmarried woman could secretly watch him from behind the pingfeng which completely hid her. Her father would discuss poetry with the suitor and ask him to compose one. If both she and her father were impressed by the suitor's poem and his looks, she might agree to marry him.
Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and practical(实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them.
