Cultural thinking
1)Yes, I think the phenomenon still exists, although rare. Doing an activity for
moral or personal development is important in traditional Chinese culture.
That’s why some people take classes for calligraphy, painting or poetry. But my day-to-day leisure activities are for relaxation and enjoyment, rather than personal or moral cultivation.
2)Exercise and sports are my main leisure activities. During my spare time, I am
usually involved in leisure activities, such as playing Chinese chess or doing jogging with my friends. One of the reasons why I like these activities is that they help take some weight off my mind when I felt burned out from school.
These activities allow me to have some fun with my friends, without feeling the pressure to “perform” or “be the best.”

Cultural thinking
It’s good to manage your time, making a good balance between leisure activity and study. I try to say “no” sometimes because I know I cannot do everything. I also try to plan some fun activities for my leisure time. This helps me to finish my tasks and work more efficiently.
I make a “to do” list for my study each day and stick to it. But if I can’t do everything on the list, I will d
o it the day after. I know it’s important to spend time taking care of my health, so I try to get regular exercises, such as running and swimming. If I can do some of these sports activities every day, I will feel proud of myself.
My counselor gives me helpful suggestions on study and leisure activities balance. She tells me to start with small changes which can make a big difference, for example, going to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual, or avoiding playing video games after This kind of small changes can help me rest and make me feel more energetic the next day.

There are many examples of this. The Book of Change, Laozi, The Analects of Confucius, Zhuangzi, The Book of Odes and The Songs of Chu are all underpinned by an appreciation of leisure. In many cases the authors celebrated the leisure time directly.
The Eastern Jin Period poet Tao Yuanming celebrated nature and leisure in his wonderful poems. Song Dynasty Poet Zhu Xi wrote poem Tea Stove (Cha Zao) ,
