2009-05-04T14:39:00.004+08:00

China is the country's table tennis ball. Table tennis in China is very extensive. No matter who, almost everyone will play. In China, table tennis is very popular Taiwan case. Whether in parks, squares, or in the workplace, can be seen everywhere.

From 1993 the Tianjin World Table Tennis Championship, the country pingpong starts not to divide into periods assumes full responsibility the history. “the Chinese wins the championship is not the news, the Chinese loses the game is the flash news.”Therefore the International Table Tennis Federation announces the change rule many times, wants to let China's superiority weaken some. What what a pity is, regardless of being the big ball, 11 point system or the Olympic Games doubles changes the association, all changes can only let the Chinese pingpong ball be getting more and more formidable. is very obvious, a country in a project's monopolizing superiority, threatens this project sufficiently the survival prospect. The world rank's table tennis match, China undertakes number of times most - - - reasons to be very simple, other countries do not gather the enough audience, holds the competition to lose money, but loses money business, is nobody is willing to do.

Tôshûsai Sharaku (active 1794-95)

2009-03-14T17:43:00.009+08:00

Tōshūsai Sharaku (東洲斎写楽 ?, active 1794 - 1795) is widely considered to be one of the great masters of the woodblock printing in Japan. Little is known of him, besides his ukiyo-e prints; neither his true name nor the dates of his birth or death are known with any certainty. His active career as a woodblock artist seems to have spanned just ten months in the mid-Edo period of Japanese history, from middle 1794 to early 1795.
The majority of these prints were portraits of actors in their kabuki or kyogen roles, and others include images of sumo wrestlers and warriors. portraits featuring close-up images of the heads of kabuki actors printed in lavish color and mica were the most highly esteemed of his works.

Beijing Opera is the quintessence of China. The largest Chinese opera form, it is extolled as 'Oriental Opera'. Having a history of 160 years, it has created many 'firsts' in Chinese dramas: the abundance of repertoires, the number of artists, opera troupes and spectators.

Beijing Opera is developed from absorbing many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama 'Huiban' which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic art integrating music, performance, literature, aria, and face-painting.

Founding of Tibet Autonomous Region

Ngapoi Ngawang Jigmei was elected Chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region at the first session of the First Regional People's Congress on September 9, 1965

Female deputies to the People's Congress of the Tibet Autonomous Region

Tibet is located in southwest China.The ancestors of the Tibetan race who lived there struck up links with the Han in the Central Plains long before the Christian era.Later, over a long period of years, the numerous tribes scattered on the Tibet Plateau became unified to form the present Tibetan race.By the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the Tibetans and Hans had, through marriage between royal families and meetings leading to alliances, cemented political and kinship ties of unity and political friendship and formed close economic and cultural relations, laying a solid foundation for the ultimate founding of a unified nation.In Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, the statue of the Tang Princess Wen Cheng, who married the Tubo tsampo, king of Tibet, in 641, is still enshrined and worshiped in the Potala Palace.The Tang-Tubo Alliance Monument marking the meeting for this purpose between Tang and Tubo erected in 823 still stands in the square in front of the Jokhang Monastery.
The monument inscription reads in part, "The two sovereigns, uncle and nephew, having come to agreement that their territories be united as one, have signed this alliance of great peace to last for eternity! May God and humanity bear witness thereto so that it may be praised from generation to generation."

In the early 13th century, Genghis Khan, leader of the Mongols, established the Mongol Khanate in north China.The Yuan emperor established the Xuanzheng Yuan or Ministry for the Spread of Governance to directly handle important military and political affairs of the Tibet region.

In 1368 the Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan Dynasty in China, and inherited the right to rule Tibet.

When the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty in 1644, it further strengthened administration over Tibet.In 1653 and 1713, the Qing emperors granted honorific titles to the 5th Dalai Lama and the 5th Bainqen Lama, henceforth officially establishing the titles of the Dalai Lama and the Bainqen Erdeni and their political and religious status in Tibet.The Dalai Lama ruled the bulk of areas from Lhasa while the Bainqen Erdeni ruled the remaining area of Tibet from Xigaze.In order to perfect Tibet's administrative organizations, the Qing Dynasty on many occasions enacted "regulations" to rectify and reform old systems and establish new ones.The Authorized Regulations for the Better Governing of Tibet, promulgated in 1793, had 29 articles.

In the autumn of 1911, revolution took place in China's interior, overthrowing the 270-year-old rule of the Qing Dynasty and establishing the Republic of China.Upon its founding, the Republic of China declared itself a unified republic of the Han, Manchu, Mongol, Hui, Tibetan and other races.In his inauguration statement on January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen, the provisional first president of the Republic of China, declared to the whole world: "The foundation of the country lies in the people, and the unification of lands inhabited by the Han, Manchu, Mongol, Hui and Tibetan people into one country means the unification of the Han, Manchu, Mongol, Hui and Tibetan races. It is called national unification."The five-color flag used as the national flag at that time represented the unification of the five main races.In March the Nanjing-based provisional senate of the Republic of China promulgated the republic's first constitution, the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China, in which it was clearly stipulated that Tibet was a part of the territory of the Republic of China.

The Dalai Lama has long been engaged in activities worldwide to split China. He can by no means conceal the separatist nature of his activities no matter what by whatever disguise and whatever florid rhetoric he may use. Some westerners hoped that threatens China using Tibet, O,heaven ! Is truly has a dream ! Are a group of great fool.

The Fenghuang has very positive connotations It is a symbol of high virtue and grace.In ancient China, they can often be found in the decorations for wedding or Royal family , along with Chinese dragon .This is because the Chinese considered the dragon and phoenix symbolic of blissful relations between husband and wife, another common yin and yang Metaphor.

Toulouse-Lautrec

2009-02-07T22:39:00.007+08:00

Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de (1864-1901). Many immortal painters lived and worked in Paris during the late 19th century. They included Degas, Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, Renoir, and Toulouse-Lautrec. Toulouse-Lautrec observed and captured in his art the Parisian nightlife of the period.

Physically unable to participate in most of the activities typically enjoyed by men of his age, Toulouse-Lautrec immersed himself in his art. He became an important Post-Impressionist painter, art nouveau illustrator, and lithographer; and recorded in his works many details of the late-19th-century bohemian lifestyle in Paris.

He excelled at capturing people in their working environment, with the colour and the movement of the gaudy night-life present, but the glamour stripped away. He was masterly at capturing crowd scenes in which the figures are highly individualised. At the time that they were painted, the individual figures in his larger paintings could be identified by silhouette alone, and the names of many of these characters have been recorded. His treatment of his subject matter, whether as portraits, scenes of Parisian night-life, or intimate studies, has been described as both sympathetic and dispassionate.
Toulouse-Lautrec's skilled depiction of people relied on his painterly style which is highly linear and gives great emphasis to contour. He often applied the paint in long, thin brushstrokes which often leave much of the board on which they are painted showing through. Many of his works may best be described as drawings in coloured paint.

Among the well-known works that he painted for the Moulin Rouge and other Parisian nightclubs are depictions of the singer Yvette Guilbert; the dancer Louise Weber, known as the outrageous La Goulue ("The Glutton"), who created the "French Can-Can"; and the much more subtle dancer Jane Avril.

Thanked the German friends to exchange has given me these 2 sheet/s .

I wish you happiness, my friend!

Horses have been very important to humans for millennia, and we still love to have them around.

Six Steeds of the Zhaoling Mausoleum

2009-01-29T15:52:00.005+08:00

Six Steeds of the Zhaoling Mausoleum are six stone relief sculptures of steeds that were located at the corridors on both sides of the altar on the northern slope of the Zhaoling Mausoleum, where Emperor Taizong, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty (599-649) and his empress were buried. The six steeds were six precious warhorses of Taizong, on which he fought the battles for the unification of China. The steeds had different horsehair colors, vigorous posture and extraordinary temperament. Emperor Taizong ordered to put the stone carvings of the six steeds right beside the mausoleum when the construction of Zhaoling began, so as to commemorate the horses that were once his sole company in the battles and to remind his posterity of the hardship in initiating undertakings, while displaying his life-time battle achievements.

The names of the six steeds are Telebiao, Qingmajia, Shifachi, Saluzi, Quanmaoju, and Baitiwu. Carved on six slates of 2.5 meters high and 3 meters wide, the six steeds were in high relief, vividly exhibiting their posture and character by a few compact lines and accurate sculpts and telling their soul-stirring stories of galloping on the battlefields with arrows piercing their bodies.

Saluzi
The sculptures are the embodiment of our achievements in carving art in the Tang Dynasty. Resorting to compact and profound technique and the subject of steeds galloping on battleground, the lifelike sculpts later become the gem of stone carving art, as well as the witness of the history of Tang.

But unfortunately, the set of stonework was damaged by smugglers in the early 20th century, when two------Saluzi,Quanmaoju of them were shipped out to the USA in 1914 and are now exhibited in the museum of the University of Pennsylvania. The other four original works were dismembered to several pieces for shipping abroad by secondhand smugglers in 1918, when the crime was deterred during their transference to the northern suburb of Xi'an. Today, the four steeds are exhibited in Shaanxi Provincial Museum.

The Mouse Marrying Off His Daughter

2009-01-29T14:36:00.008+08:00

In ancient China, there was a custom to celebrate the day of the mouse marrying off his daughter. The celebrations would normally take place on the night of the 25th of the first lunar month, when every household would stay in the dark with no lit candles or lights. The whole family would scatter some rice and salt on the floor before quietly sitting at the warmer end of a kang (a heatable brick bed in North China) and eating some special food made of flour in the dark. The reason that they would eat the meal as quietly as possible was that they wanted to provide convenience to the mouse that was marrying off his daughter on that night. Otherwise, the mouse would get offended and bring harm in the rest of the year.

The "rats marrying off daughter" is one of the most popular. Here goes the story:
When the rats' daughter reaches the age of marriage, they tell her to select the most powerful to be her husband. After careful consideration, the rat daughter decides that the sun is most powerful. She asks the sun to marry her.

The Sun says, "Dark Cloud can block sunrays. He is more powerful. You'll be better off marring Dark Cloud."

The rat daughter proposes to Dark Cloud. Dark Cloud says, "Wind can blow me away. He is more powerful. You'll be better off marring Wind."

The rat daughter proposes to Wind. Wind says, "Wall can stop me. He is more powerful. You'll be better off marring Wall."

The rat daughter proposes to Wall. But Wall says, "If rats dig holes in me, I collapse. I'm afraid of rats."

Wall's words remind the rat daughter of Cat, rats' natural enemy. It appears to her now Cat must be the most powerful. She decides to marry Cat.

Cat agrees right away. They choose a lucky date, the 7th night of the New Year, as their wedding day. The rats carry the bride in a bright red sedan chair, all the way beating gongs and drums.

As soon as the bride goes into the bridal chamber, Cat eats her. "Hiding my bride in my stomach is the best way to protect her from other bullies," Cat says.

If you walked around a major Chinese city 20 years ago, you probably wouldn't have seen many signs of Christmas.This is because Christmas is a Christian holiday and not many Chinese people are Christian.
However, if you were to visit those same Chinese cities today, you'd see signs of Christmas everywhere you looked!On the Avenue of Eternal Peace in Beijing, Qinghai,ect China, there are Christmas displays everywhere.Many Chinese people celebrate by decorating their houses with Christmas trees, cooking and eating special foods, and spending time with family and friends.
So yes, the Chinese celebrate Christmas.
But no, most do not celebrate it for the same reasons that Christians do.

Fine examples of Modigliani's figure paintings are a number of his Reclining Nude, of which he has made a large number. They are all elegant, arresting arrangements of curved lines and planes as well as a striking idealization of feminine sexuality. Today his graceful portraits and lush nudes at once evoke his name, but during his brief career few apart from his fellow artists were aware of his gifts.

Chinese astrology is the divination of the future from the Chinese calendar, which is based on astronomy, and ancient Chinese philosophy. In particular, it is based on the sexagenary cycle of 60 years that has been documented since at least the time of the Shang Dynasty. This basic cycle has been constructed from two cycles: the 10 heavenly stems (the five elements in their yin and yang forms) and the 12 earthly branches, or the 12-year cycle of animals referred to as the Chinese zodiac. The Chinese animal zodiac also operates on a cycle of months or 'moons' and of hours of the day.

The Chinese zodiac refers to a pure calendrical cycle; there are no equivalent constellations like those of the occidental zodiac. In imperial times there were astrologers who watched the sky for heavenly omens that would predict the future of the state, but this was a quite different practice of divination from the popular present-day methods. It spread to Vietnam, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan, etc.

Chinese Characters
A Chinese character, also known as a Han character (simplified Chinese: 汉字; traditional Chinese: 漢字; pinyin: Hànzì), is a logogram used in writing Chinese (hanzi), Japanese (kanji), less frequently Korean (hanja), and formerly Vietnamese (hán tự).

However, the written language of the whole China is the same. No matter how different people pronounce, when they write it down, it is the same language!

The elements of forming a Chinese character are three: image(form), sound, and meaning. There are also six principles that used to define and explicate the Characters:
Pictographs
Indicatives
Ideatives
Harmonics
Transmissives

New Zealand and horse racing are old acquaintances. The first thoroughbred named Figaro arrived in the country in 1840. However, the first recorded race in New Zealand was in 1835 in the Bay of Islands.
The “Sport of Kings” is a well recognised feature of New Zealand life. The big meetings attract huge crowds and generate much excitement with harness racing also making a big impact along with the more established gallops. The horse racing industry that employs tens of thousands of people and New Zealand-bred yearlings attract buyers from around the world and bring in millions of dollars in export earnings annually. Six of the country's more recent crowd-pleasers are featured in this special Racehorses stamp issue.

A special miniature sheet booklet was produced in conjunction with the stamp issue incorporating seven miniature sheets - six of which contained one of the six stamps from the issue with the seventh containing all six of the Racehorse stamps.
