To most Chinese people, the 2020 Lunar New Year has been quite different from any previous Spring Festival. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, some were infected and most are staying at home to avoid the virus. No more large family gatherings or visits.
對大多數中國人來說，2020年農曆新年與以往的任何一個春節都大不相同。由於冠狀病毒的爆發，一些病毒被感染，並且大多數人呆在家裡避免該病毒。沒有更多的大型家庭聚會或探訪。
Thanks to social media, computer games and online TV series and movies, staying inside is easier than in years past. 藉助社交媒體，計算機遊戲以及在線電視連續劇和電影，留在屋內比以往任何時候都容易。
But too much exposure to media and digital entertainment could be a heavy burden to both the mind and eyes.
但是，過多地接觸媒體和數字娛樂可能會給身心帶來沉重負擔。
Here are five activities you could try to get away from the screen for a while.
您可以嘗試以下五項活動，使其暫時脫離屏幕。
1.Read books, or at least listen to them. 看書或至少聽書
If you choose a good book, it can help you enjoy a whole day at home. The ability of your brain to process words could be greatly improved through reading. And your vocabulary could be enlarged as well. Personally, paper copies are recommended. The touch and smell of real paper has no digital replacement.
如果您選擇一本好書，它可以幫助您在家享受一整天。通過閱讀，您的大腦處理單詞的能力可以大大提高。而且您的詞彙量也可以擴大。就個人而言，建議使用紙質副本。真實紙張的觸感和氣味無法用數字替代。
2.Practice calligraphy 練習書法
You don’t have to be Wang Xizhi, the well-known Chinese calligrapher, before starting to practice your calligraphy. 開始練習書法之前，您不必成為中國著名書法家王羲之。
Everyone can pick up a brush and write something, even if it may look very ugly at first. But the point of such practice is not to write beautiful characters. It’s about enhancing your ability to calm down and focus, as you must breathe deeply to keep your hands from shaking.
每個人都可以拿起畫筆並寫點東西，即使起初看起來很難看。但是，這樣做的目的不是寫漂亮的人物。這是關於增強鎮定和集中注意力的能力，因為您必須深呼吸以防止手顫抖。
3.Draw a picture 繪畫
Drawing is natural pleasure that even our remote ancestors tried, and it is still fun. Just draw anything, either nearby or something you imagine.
繪畫是我們的遠古祖先嚐試過的自然樂趣，而且仍然很有趣。只需畫任何東西，無論是附近的東西還是您想像的東西。
Copying paintings is one nice beginning option. Copies of the Dunhuang Mogao grottoes are a good choice.
複製繪畫是一個不錯的開始選擇。敦煌莫高窟的副本是一個不錯的選擇。
4.Listen to classical music 聽古典音樂
Chopin, Mozart, Bach. Any of these great musicians could stun you with their rich legacy. Even if you prefer pop music, give classical music a chance. Just listen, and let your brain and ears process a more complicated combination of notes.
肖邦，莫扎特，巴赫。這些偉大的音樂家中的任何一個都可以憑藉其豐富的遺產而震驚您。即使您喜歡流行音樂，也可以嘗試古典音樂。只需聆聽，然後讓您的大腦和耳朵處理更復雜的音符組合即可。
Now, there are many online audio lessons that can help you appreciate classical music. One is from Duan Zhaoxu, a pianist and a teacher at Beijing Normal University. His humorous and informative lessons have attracted many music lovers.
現在，有許多在線音頻課程可以幫助您欣賞古典音樂。其中一位來自北京師範大學鋼琴家兼老師段兆旭。他幽默而內容豐富的課程吸引了許多音樂愛好者。
5.Cook good dishes 料理
For most people, a happy day consists of at least two things: good food and sound sleep.
對於大多數人來說，快樂的一天至少包括兩件事：美味的食物和良好的睡眠。
When you temporarily lose your outdoor options, make sure you eat well.
當您暫時失去戶外活動選擇時，請確保飲食良好。
Since it is safer to cook by yourself to reduce the chance of being infected, the time to improve your cooking skills has come. There are many recipes in Chinese cuisine to try, and you can follow video blogger Li Ziqi to get more ideas. She posts videos from an idyllic life in the country, and will undoubtedly serve as excellent inspiration.
由於自己做飯以減少被感染的機會更安全，因此提高您的烹飪技能的時候到了。中國菜有很多食譜可以嘗試，您可以關注視頻博主李子柒以獲取更多想法。她發佈了該國田園詩般的生活的視頻，無疑將成為絕佳的靈感來源。
