Anclent Chinese Lacquer Exhibition





That was a rainy day afternoon; we three went to an exhibition. Lily suggested is to go to the Chinese museum. But we did not know when does closed, so we went their at about 3:00P.M, so it was a little bit late. But we still learned a lot.
China is the first country that used lacquering technology. As early as in the New Stone Age about seven thousand years ago, wood products coated with lacquer and pottery decorated with lacquer appeared. In Shang an Zhou Dynasties, lacquer products were made with fairly advanced technology and became the luxuries of noble families.
The golden age for lacquer technology was in Han and Wei Dynasties when it was provided with good opportunity for development because bronze technology was in decline; besides, the enlarged government-run lacquer ware workshop also laid a good foundation for the prosperity of lacquer technology. Lacquer products at this time had unique, shining and attractive designs, rich and magnificently decorated, with a wide application.
I saw a chair which sat only by the king. That was really beautiful, I just can say Chinese people was so strong, their hands can do such wonderful artworks. The small bowls with very exquisite, the pictures on the chair are very careful, the lines are very smooth. You can not image how beautiful it is. The Aeron chair was very sobriety and generous that can show an emperor’s stateliness.
I was so proud of I am a Chinese when I saw the foreign’s face showed “amazing”. Yes, Chinese culture was so wide.

Indian restaurant








I went to an Indian restaurant with my friends Winona and Maria on a Sunday evening. At first, we decided to eat Japanese restaurant, but when we arrived there, we found that restaurant was closed, we felt so sad, because we all loved sushi, then we walk around the restaurant, we found an Indian restaurant. We thought that Ms. Mitschrich was been to Indian we wanted know something about Indian, so we enter the restaurant. That was a little bit terrible; the price of that restaurant was too expensive, we three wanted to go out off that place, but that was very impolite so we have that dinner.




Formerly curry was come from Indian. The handing cake was really interesting. Curry was very delicious, and the Indian cook was really handsome. I took a photo with him; the feeling of that restaurant was very wonderful, it is very suitable for dating. The music was very special. I found that the food is too less, the price is too expensive. Other things were very wonderful.




The Indian restaurant is use forks and knifes but usually they use their hands to eat food. Common Indian people usually use their right hand put the vegetables into the cake or use their hands to put the rice and vegetables together, and then put them in the mouth together. The people like us to eat food are the intellectuals or middle-class home. Indian’s sweet food are very famous, their food are too sweet. Their supper also very late, they usually have supper at about 8:00 P.M, then two hours later they will go to sleep.
