In the picture,we can see that there are some vases made of china,which are typical products in China since ancient time.An image of a panda playing Kung Fu① is carved on the surface of the vases,in which both Panda and Kung Fu are the symbols of Chinese elements.Besides,the Chinese mahjong which is growing out of a vase is also a typical Chinese element.
　　It is obvious that the main purpose of the picture is to reflect the phenomenon of “China fever”,referring to a foreign passion and enthusiasm② on Chinese elements,especially culture.There are reasons accounting for the growing interest in Chinese elements.For one thing,for the past decades,China has made conspicuous progress in all fields such as economy,science and technology,and comprehensive strength of China has been enhanced greatly.For another,due to the progress,China presents a new image to the world and is becoming increasingly attractive and appealing③ to the whole world.Nearly every day news stories are reported and broadcasted④ about what is going on in and around China.And By 2010,there are 72 Confucius Institutes in 26 European countries established to spread Chinese language and culture⑤.
Toward this kind of “China craze”,we should hold a right attitude.On the one hand,we should take pride in the “China craze” by foreigners,which originates from the increasing prestige of China.On the other hand,it is the responsibility of each Chinese citizen to popularize and promote excellent traditional Chinese culture and guard a favorable image of our motherland.

這幅圖中我們可以看到一些瓷制的花瓶,這是中國自古以來的典型產(chǎn)品.瓶身上畫著一只正在練習(xí)中國功夫的熊貓,熊貓和功夫同樣是中國文化的代表.此外,花瓶中長出的“麻將”也是典型的中國元素.
這幅漫畫的主要目的是反映“中國熱”的現(xiàn)象,即國外對中國元素尤其是中華文化的一種追捧和熱情.國外對中國元素興趣上升的這種現(xiàn)象是有原因的.首先,過去的幾十年中,中國在經(jīng)濟(jì)、科技等各個(gè)領(lǐng)域都取得了顯著的進(jìn)步,中國的綜合國力已經(jīng)大幅提升.另一方面,由于這些進(jìn)步,中國以嶄新的形象出現(xiàn)在世人面前,在全世界越來越有吸引力.幾乎每天都有很多關(guān)于中國及其周邊正在發(fā)生的新聞報(bào)道.截止到2010年,已經(jīng)有26個(gè)歐洲國家建立了72所孔子學(xué)院來傳播中國語言和文化.
對于這種“中國熱”的現(xiàn)象我們應(yīng)該持有正確的態(tài)度.一方面我們應(yīng)該為外國人的“中國熱”感到自豪,這源于中國聲望的提高.另一方面,弘揚(yáng)優(yōu)秀的中國傳統(tǒng)文化和捍衛(wèi)祖國的形象,是每一位中國公民的責(zé)任.
