A mother's eye-catching breakfast made with vegetables, bread and fruit for her 13-year-old daughter is helping her child learn about Chinese classical poetry in Zhengzhou, capital city of Central China's Henan province.

Mother Qiao Chunxia has been making the breakfast for more than three years.

She said the idea occurred to her when she realized that a tasty breakfast could help get her daughter out of bed in the morning.

Qiao decided not only to make the breakfast delicious, but also to display beautiful images of Chinese poetry.

"It is interesting to teach poems to my daughter at breakfast, helping her get a poetic feeling to welcome the upcoming day," said Qiao.
