Every school day， we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school． They are a big part of our lives． But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag？
In the Han Dynasty （汉朝）， students in old﹣style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school． People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags． They were usually two or three layers （层） in the box． Kids put different things like books， brushes， ink stones （砚） and paper in the boxes．
Hundreds of years later， people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai， or the "hip﹣pocket"． The budai was lighter than the bamboo box． With the founding （成立） of the People's Republic of China， military rucksacks （军用帆布包） became popular． Many people carried them when they were in school． Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags． Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school．

China covers large areas and has a great population． Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country． Recently， another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one： the way people shop at markets．
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals． It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage， two potatoes and 0.25kilograms of beef at a time．
However， one may be laughed at if he does this in the north． Instead， buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual． Also， you can buy a small amount （数量） of fruit， such as a single apple or pear， each time in the south． Shop owners even help you peel and cut them． But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service． And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes．
The difference could be due tothe different weather．
Food can be kept for a long time in the north， as it is usually cold and dry there． Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food， especially for the long winter． But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day， or else the food may go bad．
