Finding national treasures

That's the tour to National Museum this summer. The treasures in the museum attracted peopel all over the country and world. Select some of my favorite and put them here to share.



Chinese Chinas are famous for the painting like this.



This is also which caught my eyes, double fish. Beaing the implication of "the Wholely""the completly", wishing everything including family are unified. I'm not sure whether I clarified it clearly. It sounds not:-(



The hat in ancient days for the king to wear. How heavy it looks like!


This is not a treasure, but the examination paper for the people who took exam for getting a position in the ancient government. Oh, it seems like the same that young people nowadays in China make every effort to take examination for governers selection. And the position gets even get hotter. This is probably the No2. exminee's paper, writing in beautiful and tidy calligraphy.



That's me, the blogger.


The calligraphy writes:"reflect oneself again and again to find out what we have done wrongly", so that we can improved ourselves. This have something similar as what we say to God. Classical enlightments always share......


One of the containers for wine in ancient China, made by jade. It called "ZUN", rather than "cup".


There is still more to be added and introduced.....
