After thinking for a moment,Chong Er said,"You have plenty of beauties and attendants as well as jewelry and silk cloth,and the state of Chu abounds in rare brides and animals.What treasure can the State of Jin boast having to present to your majesty?" King Cheng of the State of Chu said,"You are too modest.Nevertheless,you still have to show your gratitude to me in one way or another,I presume?" Smiling,Chong Er answered,"If I should be fortunate enouge to return to the State of Jin and become its ruler,the State of Jin would be friendly to the State of Chu.If,one day,there should be a war between the two states,I would definitely order my troops to retreat three SHE (one SHE is equivalent to thirty LI.The LI is a Chinese unit of length equivalent to 1/2 kilometre.And,therefore,three SHE is about thirty miles.) as a condition for peace.If,under that condition,you were still not reconciled,I would have to fight with you."Four years later,as might be expected,Chong Er returned to the State of Jin and became its ruler.He was none other than Duke Wen of the State of Jin famous in ancient Chinese history.Ruled by him,the State of Jin became increasingly powerful.In the year 533 B.C.,the Chu troops and the Jin troops confronted each other in a battle.Faithful to his promise,Duke Wen of the State of Jin ordered his troops to retreat about thirty miles.After retreating,the Jin troops were stationed at Chengpu.Seeing that the Jin troops were retreating,the Chu troops thought that the enemy troops were afraid,and began chasing them.Taking advantage of the Chu troops' arrogance and their talking the Jin troops lightly,the Jin troops concentrated their forces and inflicted a crushing defeat on the Chu troops,thus winning the victory of the battle of Chengpu.This set phrase,"retreating about thirty miles as a condition for peace," is derived from the Chapter "The Twenty-second Year of Duke Xi" in ZuoZhuan,the famous commentary by Zuo Qiuming on The spring and Autumn Annals.The idea of this set phrase is to give way to somebody in order to avoid a conflict.

写作思路：从中国是世界上历史最悠久的国家之一这个角度出发进行阐述，介绍一下中国的起源和发展史，再描述一下中国的名胜古迹等等。
正文：
China, based on Chinese civilization and Chinese culture, is one of the countries with the longest history in the world. The Chinese people of all ethnic groups have jointly created a splendid culture and a glorious revolutionary tradition.
中国，以华夏文明为源泉、中华文化为基础，是世界上历史最悠久的国家之一。中国各族人民共同创造了光辉灿烂的文化，具有光荣的革命传统。
China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. Around 5800 years ago, there were signs of the origin of civilization in the Yellow River, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Xiliao River; Around 5300 years ago, all parts of China entered the stage of civilization. After many times of ethnic blending and dynasty changes, the unified situation of a multi-ethnic country was formed.
中国是世界四大文明古国之一。距今5800年前后，黄河、长江中下游以及西辽河等区域出现了文明起源迹象；距今5300年前后，中华大地各地区陆续进入了文明阶段。 后历经多次民族交融和朝代更迭，直至形成多民族国家的大一统局面。
Chinese culture has a long history, broad and profound, gorgeous and colorful. It is the cultural suzerain of the East Asian cultural circle and occupies an important position in the world cultural system. Due to the differences in geographical location and natural conditions, the humanities and economy also have their own characteristics.
中国文化源远流长、博大精深、绚烂多彩，是东亚文化圈的文化宗主国，在世界文化体系内占有重要地位，由于各地的地理位置、自然条件的差异，人文、经济方面也各有特点。
Traditional cultural and artistic forms include poetry, opera, calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, etc., while Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival are important traditional festivals in China.
传统文化艺术形式有诗词、戏曲、书法、国画等，而春节、元宵、清明、端午、中秋、重阳等则是中国重要的传统节日。

画龙点睛（Putting the Finishing Touch to the Picture of a Dragon）In the Southern and Northern Dynasties Period (420-589), there was a painter called Zhang Sengyou. Once he visited a temple and painted on the wall four dragons, but gave none of them eyes. The onlookers felt that this was odd, and asked why he hadn't painted the eyes. He answered, 'Eyes are crucial for dragons. With the eyes painted on, the dragons would fly away.' Nobody believed this, so Zhang Sengyou took up his brush and added eyes to two of the dragons. No sooner had he finished than the two dragons flew into the sky amid a thunderstorm. The two without eyes stayed painted on the wall.
