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.
