2. In ritual performance, it would be better to be thrift than lavish; in mourning service, it would be better to be deep in grief than minute in observance.
Q: 3) What’s your consumption habit in daily life?
Reference
I always try to keep balance between spending and saving by making a budget and only buying things I need. I also use credit cards or Huabei when necessary but always remember to pay back in time. In addition, I get extra income by depositing in the bank or Yu’ebao, which can accrue interests.
Task 1: Please fill in the blanks to see how people pass down the value of frugality.
Chen Xiaoyan, a civil servant who works at a culture department in China’s Xiong’an New Area, __in_i_ti_a_te_d__ a qipao dancing team with her friends in a bid to _i_n_h_e_ri_t_ traditional culture. Conversations after the rehearsals are usually about families and friends. But sometimes the sisters get a little serious and talk about how to control their _b_u_d_g_e_t_ for the volunteer group. “When we get together, we should not be spending too much money, and this is also part of our tradition.” Chen said. This is a typical scene in many park conversations in China. _F__ru_g_a_l_it_y_ is always their top __p_ri_o_r_it_y_.
夫君子之行,静以修身,俭以养德。 ——诸葛亮《诫子书》
This is a way of life for a man of virtue: to cultivate his character by keeping a peaceful mind, and nourish his morality by a frugal living.
Reference
Loan and deposit. I think it is true that Chinese people like saving money first and spending it only when necessary. It is regarded as a traditional virtue if a person can control desire of consumption. However, with the booming of the economy, the consumption view is also developing. Many people accept the way of consumption by the loan and tend to use credit cards or digital credit platforms like Huabei, especially for the young generation. Growing amid rapid Internet development and abundant applications, they are independent and smart with their money and know how to make most out of the credit service while avoiding overspending. It is reported that the money they put in Yu’ebao is 4.5 times as much as they pay through Huabei.
2. Please match the following words about thrift from the Analects with their Chinese counterparts.
1. In a country of a thousand war-chariots, the ruler should be respectful in deed and faithful in word, thrifty in expenditure and affectionate towards the people and tell them to labor at the proper times of the year.

Unit 5 The money game

Chinese and Americans have significantly different consumption views; from youth, the Americans have been used to consumption by the loan, but most of the Chinese are accustomed to the consumption by the deposit. The US is the biggest consuming country in the world; China is the greatest country of deposit in the world. Different consumption views will have different influences on economic development and the lifestyles of people. The similarities and differences of consumption views are caused by the bilateral culture; different consumption views can reflect different cultures. The attitude toward consumption can basically be divided into two kinds of opposite shapes. One is the position of thrift, and the other is the allegation of the expense. Chinese’s favorites are saving enough money then buying goods, but Americans are used to expending by lending money.
Q: 2) What does thrift mean? What’s your idea about it?
Reference
Thrift means the habit of saving money and spending it carefully so that nothing would be wasted. It is the ancient Chinese consumption ideology based on objecting extravagance and praising austerity. Such a consumption concept has played a tremendous role for social development. In my opinion, as college students, we should try our best to form the awareness of being thrifty and take actions to practice the virtue. We should spend money reasonably and learn how to manage money in order to lead a healthy and meaningful life.
