Do you know what family instructions are? They are common beliefs(信仰)that family members follow. In ancient China, people passed down their family instructions from generation to generation.

Some schools in Zhejiang are encouraging students to learn more about their own family instructions. At Hangzhou Gongyi Middle School and Hangzhou Xuejun High School, it was part of students’ winter vacation homework to learn about their family instructions.

Shen Duanjie,14,from Hangzhou Gongyi Middle School, has got good from his family instructions—“democratic”(民主的) and “equal”. In his own words, they have helped him get along with his parents.

The school has also published(出版) books about two classic collections of family instructions—The Family Instructions of Zhu Xi and Family Instructions of Yan Clan. The books include dialogues and pictures drawn by students.

Gong Zhenyue, 14, drew pictures for one of the instructions in Family Instructions of Yan Clan. She was impressed(留下深刻印象) by the instruction, which says that parents should not only love their children, but also educate them. “It made me understand my parents’ strictness with me,” she said.

1. There may be some situations, people or events that make you feel nervous, anxious or fearful. 

2. Increasing physical activity and eating healthily can do wonders for your ability to manage stress. Regular physical activity and a healthy diet can improve weight, energy levels, self-confidence, overall health and well-being, making it much easier for you to do with daily stress. 

Laugh it off. Do you know that laughter is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress? No matter how bad things are, laughing dissolves(消除) the worries and seems to help brighten the situation. 3. A bad mood only adds to your level of stress. Another plus-laughter seems to help improve the immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)), in turn making you less prone(有……傾向的) to develop a cold and other illnesses. 

Recognize that drugs and wine are not effective methods to solve problems. 4. You can search for the advice of a mental health doctor or the community health service for stress management.
