Hello, I'm Jason, welcome to my channel, remember one character in a minute, and never forget," "大" is like a person with open arms, so in Chinese characters we see “大”, it has two meanings, one meaning is big, another is human, we are going to learn "夫" today, first of all, let's think about it, ancient men have long hair or short hair, yes, it is long hair, Chinese people think that hair is given to us by our parents, we can not cut hair,  because our hair is too long around the age of 16 and we have to tie it up, it also means that we are adults, and we can become husbands，So the line above the character“大” means hairpin，Look at the picture to understand, Combine words“丈夫( zhànɡ fū)husband，夫人( fū rén)wife”， there are also some Chinese characters related to big，妖，美，天，夯，立， 站，尖，央，头......

大家好，我是杰森，欢迎来到我的频道，一分钟记住一个汉字，并且永不忘记，”大”就像一个张开手臂的人，所以在汉字中我们看到这个字，它有两种含义，一个意思是大，一个意思是人，我们今天来学习”夫”，首先大家想一下，古代的男人是长头发还是短头发，对的，是长头发，中国人认为头发是父母给予我们的，我们不可以剪头发，所以在16岁左右因为我们的头发太长而必须扎起来，这也代表了我们成年了，成年的我们就可以成为别人的丈夫了，所以在大字上边的一横是发簪的意思，请观看封面图理解，这也有很多与大有关的汉字，例如：妖，美，天，夯，立， 站，尖，央，头......

After 15 months, three Israeli hostages have left Hamas captivity as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took hold on the morning of January 19.

Dozens of Palestinian prisoners also walked free from Israeli jail as the skies above Gaza and Israel were silent for the first time in over a year, stirring modest hopes for ending the Israel-Hamas war.

The ceasefire deal, with an initial phase lasting six weeks, calls for the entry into Gaza of 600 trucks carrying humanitarian relief daily. Over the course of the deal's first stage, 33 Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity in Gaza will also be released in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Many Israelis stayed glued to TV screens to glimpse the three hostages — Emily Damari, Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher — being released as militants handed them over to the Red Cross on a packed street in Gaza City.

In videos released by the Israeli government, the women were seen weeping and hugging family members. Damari raised a bandaged hand in triumph.

The military said she lost two fingers in the Hamas-led militant attack on October 7, 2023, that killed over 1,200 people and resulted in the abduction of some 250 others.

Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, crowds flooded the streets around 1 a.m. on January 20 as white buses carrying 90 Palestinian detainees — all women or teens — exited the gates of Ofer prison.

Fireworks erupted, and several men climbed atop one of the buses to raise Hamas flags.

All of those being released had been detained for what Israel called offenses related to its security, from throwing stones and promoting violence on social media to more serious accusations such as attempted murder.

Khalida Jarrar, one of the freed detainees, told The Associated Press: "There's this double feeling we're living in, on the one hand, this feeling of freedom, that we thank everyone for, and on the other hand, this pain, of losing so many Palestinian martyrs."

Gaza Ceasefire Brings Exchange of Prisoners and Hostages

Llegó el mes de diciembre y con él las tradicionales posadas, festividades que inundan de alegría y en donde disfrutamos del sabor de los productos mexicanos.

Las posadas son fiestas populares que se celebran en México, durante los nueve días antes de la Nochebuena. Según los relatos tradicionales, José, acompañado de su esposa María, caminaron desde Nazaret a Belem hasta arribar a su destino. Al llegar, la Virgen estaba a punto de dar a luz a su hijo Jesús, y al buscar alojamiento fueron rechazados en no pocos hogares, entonces terminaron refugiándose en un establo. Este pasaje es conocido ahora como Las Posadas.

En la actualidad las posadas en los hogares mexicanos inicia cuando los anfitriones representan a los hosteleros y los invitados a los peregrinos, quienes piden alojo al entonar la letanía para pedir posada, que concluye con el famoso estribillo: “Entren santos peregrinos, peregrinos, reciban este rincón. Y aunque es pobre la morada, la morada, os la doy de corazón”.

Finalmente se ofrece a todos los invitados una pequeña cena y se rompen piñatas, además no pueden faltar los aguinaldos, los buñuelos, las luces de bengala y por supuesto el delicioso ponche.

Esta tradicional bebida, se elabora principalmente con frutas propias de esta temporada, tejocotes, guayaba, ciruelas pasas, manzanas amarillas, cañas de azúcar, tamarindo pelado, jamaica, piloncillo y azúcar, que hervido todo nos permite disfrutar del más clásico sabor de la Navidad en México.

Estas fiestas inundan los hogares con dulces aromas y sabores del campo mexicano, que están presentes en todos y cada uno de los alimentos que distinguen esta bella temporada.
