我们每个人都有自己的姓。姓是标志家族系统的称号，姓也成为一种中国传统文化和历史传承。在中国古代很多部落根据自己的地理位置或者职业等，创造了自己的姓。姓也成为一种中国传统文化和历史的传承。在日常生活中，为了表示尊敬，人们对于初识的人常常会问“您贵姓？”。一般人们都会回答“免贵姓.⋯⋯”。
Everyone has their own surname, which connects them to their ancestors and represents the continuation of the family lineage. In ancient China, surnames already came into existence. Many tribes created their own surnames according to their geographical locations or occupations. And thus their surnames became the carrier of traditional Chinese culture and history. In everyday life today, Chinese people also pay a lot of attention to surnames. For example, in order to show respect when meeting someone for the first time, people often say 您贵姓? (what's your honourable surname?). Usually people will respond with 免贵姓…… (My name is.., without nobility).

Episodio 6: El salón de profesores

It's no secret that Hawaii is a favorite destination for Japanese tourists. In 2023, the islands welcomed around 573,000 visitors from Japan — the most from any country.

But did you know there's a connection between Japan and Hawaii that goes beyond travel and into clothing?

Aloha shirts, also known as Hawaiian shirts, have roots in Japanese culture, beginning with Japanese immigrants in Hawaii.

In the late 1800s, Japanese immigrants in Hawaii started importing Japanese clothing as well as rolls of fabric to make clothes with.

In the 1920s, locals in Hawaii saw these fabrics and started using them to make casual dress shirts with Japanese patterns on them. These shirts became popular with tourists to Hawaii.

Soon after, aloha shirts were made in bulk, but instead of using fabric made for Japanese clothing, stores in Hawaii started bringing in printed fabrics made just for aloha shirts.

And by the late 1930s, the designs had changed from Japanese patterns to the Hawaiian inspired patterns we're used to today — images of Mount Fuji and Japanese pine trees were replaced with things like coconut trees, surfers and fish.

But even though today's aloha shirts don't look very Japanese inspired, they still remain popular within Japan.

Yosuke Seki, an aloha shirt aficionado who goes to Hawaii every year, told CNN he wears his shirts daily, and hopes to inspire others to try them.

"Right now, I'm wearing a replica of one of the expensive designs," Seki said, adding that his shirt cost between $130 and $200. The more expensive shirts can cost thousands of dollars, he explained.

And for some fans, aloha shirts are not just clothing — they're collectable items, or even considered art.

Yoshihiro Nakano is the brand director of Sun Surf, a Japanese company that has been making aloha shirts for about 50 years. Many customers don't even wear the aloha shirts they buy, and instead just collect them or frame them, Nakano told CNN.
