Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses Pits
یکشنبه 27 تیر 1389 02:26 ب.ظ
Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses Pits (Qin dynasty, 221-206 B.C.)
In
221 B.C., Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin dynasty established the first
centralized feudal dynasty in China. (Centralization was particularly
important in the Yellow and Yangtze regions because flooding periodically
wiped out years of work and coordinated planning was required to build
canals and avoid political as well as geographical fragmentation.) After
his death, he was buried at the northern foot of Lishan Hill in the east
of Lintong county. The tomb has been reduced to half its size after 2,000
years of water and soil erosion, but still impressive--76 meters high
and a fundamental space of 120,000 square meters. One unusual detail about
the construction of the tomb is that the emperor had the building begin
shortly after becoming king of Qin at the age of 13. This action contradicted
Confucian wisdom that a son should demonstrate respect for his father
by building as impressive a memorial as possible and that a man should
never plan his own funeral rites. Presumably, the king of Qin did not
consider himself a mere man! In fact, he ordered the burning of books
of history and philosophy as well as the death of 460 Confucian scholars
who had had the temerity to continue teaching principles drawn from the
past. The tomb took 39 years and 700,000 workers to reach completion.
It had pearls embedded in the ceiling to represent the stars, and rivers
and lakes were modeled with liquid mercury. The tomb itself has not been
opened yet.

chinese new year

Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.
The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.
The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.
