The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove and the Rongqi period brick painting was unearthed in the Gongshan Tomb in Xishanqiao, Nanjing, and is roughly dated to the early Southern Dynasty. This set of images brings together the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove from the Wei and Jin dynasties and the hermit Rong Qixi from the Spring and Autumn period, presenting the earliest surviving group portrait of the Seven Sages and the first appearance of this lineup in a known work. With the eight figures in dashing postures, proportionately positioned on two walls, spaced and connected by different kinds of trees, this scene is like a dream, and has made later generations of literati infinitely yearn for it. In this dream, the mountains are solid and the water is gurgling.
Jikang sighed softly: "Guangling San" is now extinct, forty and end; Ruan Ji drove alone, traveling to the end of the road, bawling and dismantled back; looking through the clouds and smoke of the mountain Tao; sound drunken Liu Ling; reciting the "thinking of the old fugue" to the show; good at playing Ruan Xian; good at the clear talk of the Wang Rong.
Standing in front of the brick wall, we can still feel the gust of mountain wind blowing in our face, blowing in the undiluted paradigm and the deep desire for pure life.
Qingzhou Buddha statues, the era of the North and South Dynasties. At that time, people chiseled the mountain stone, leaving traces of human thinking activities on the natural materials, and his first life was born.
The right hand is erected in front of the chest with the palm outward, a common Buddhist seal of fearlessness; the left hand is resting on the waist, as if well-being would flow from the palm to the fingertips. The first-born possessed a round face and smiled like a child; his cheekbones and nose were high, like mountains and hills; his eyes and eyebrows were like gullies and great rivers.
If you look closely, all the Buddha statues in this room have traces of repair. Human beings have used their short lives to give the statues a more permanent existence, and thus, those who have traveled in the long life of the statues have been able to be reborn in our minds. -Thousands and five hundred years have passed, and most of the people who have gazed upon these statues of Buddha have become part of the sculpture; some have witnessed his robe turn from bright red to pale red, and others have witnessed the gold leaf on his face fall off piece by piece. You may ask me why people don't put all these pieces together and restore it to its perfect appearance, because people have found that in these countless scars they have seen - one detail of history after another, and in these star-like fragments they have seen the footsteps of mankind's march through suffering.
We came into the world crying, but we can laugh our way to eternity.

This pair of gold footstools was unearthed in the tomb of Feng Su Fu, a member of the royal family of Northern Yan, who was buried with his wife. The base was used and hair twisted to fix it, and the craftsman made several rings by bending them by hand, using the branches of the strut draped on the gold boshan as a support.

Sixteen countries to Tang, the frequent alternation of regimes, division and unification, chaos and strife, the army stalemate in the country inside and outside, only the beauty inadvertently crossed the border.

A long, long time ago, three Greek goddesses competed for the title of the most beautiful goddess. Paris, who was good at judging, gave the golden apple, which represented the most beautiful, to Eros, because Eros promised him the most beautiful woman on earth. A few years later, Paris met Queen Helen in Sparta and they fell in love and eloped. The king of Sparta was furious when he returned home and waged war against all odds, taking Troy in 10 years. He wanted to execute Helen, but when he saw that beautiful face again, his heart softened and the two were reunited.
The story is engraved on the circumference of a gilt-silver jug, which was discovered in 1983 in the tomb of Li Xian, a pillar general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Guyuan, Ningxia. At the time, this type of bottle was known as a "Hu bottle". The figure of a human head on the handle comes from the Greek tradition to protect the water inside from evil spirits. The grooves in the body and handle are reminiscent of the corbels in ancient Greek architecture, bringing together classical order and symmetry. The ligature that divides the body into three segments is typical of the Persian Sassanid style, while the figures in the story of the jug and their costumes are characterized by Indian stylization.
The object is a novelty, as is the story behind the object. In it, it is as if you can touch a different life beyond the life you see every day.
It was as if a door had been opened in front of the Northern Dynasties, and they could see the outside world, imagine the outside world, and then go to the outside world.

The Lishi Baohua brocade is a Tang Dynasty artifact, on which the animal motifs in the floral rings were created in the early Tang Dynasty, a typical combination of animal motifs imported from the West and the Chinese aesthetic of floral motifs. This piece of brocade pattern with free realistic style is one of the typical representatives of the late Tang Dynasty popularity. Through this artifact, people can feel the brilliant and splendid culture of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Northern and Sui dynasties, the brocade design pattern of the ball group is popular in the Western region, and in the early Tang Dynasty for the Tang people who like new and strange to follow. By the transformation of the aesthetic interests of the Central Plains, the combination of flowers and grass rings and animal images have become the mainstream decorative themes. This is the unique Ling Yang Gong sample. Since then, the weaving technique has been refined and developed, and the complex warp and weft are interwoven to create a delicate presentation full of vitality.

It woke up at the moment, but suddenly felt infinite sadness, when the sands on the same as the saber partners were not a whole body.

In the twelfth year of the Tang Dynasty, an infrastructure project was launched as a national strategy. It was a costly project. In fact, four-fifths of the country's iron production that year was eaten up by this infrastructure project, about 1,100 tons, which was the Yellow River Iron Bull, the piling for the Puzindu Floating Bridge.
The Pu Jin Du Floating Bridge is not well known today, but during the Tang Dynasty, it was the nation's transportation lifeline. Salt from Hedong, iron from Shanxi, grain from Guanzhong, and troops defending the capital were all gathered here. Therefore, the piers of this pontoon bridge were crucial. Pontoon bridge floating in the river, the key point of force, lies in the piles on the bank.
Today, we use oxen as a metaphor for stubbornness, and we use oxen to describe stubbornness, but also to evaluate ability and to praise the people we admire. The Yellow River Iron Ox may be the longest overtime ox in the world, they pull up the Puzhundu Pontoon Bridge with iron ropes, witnessing the diversion of the Yellow River and the flow of time.

The daily events of Gaochang are so randomly surviving in the dry climate of the Astana Cemetery to this day.
The time and space of the western region of the Great Tang Dynasty was folded and collected by the Flaming Mountain. A word then, a mystery now, some trivial matters, some shocking small things, is the story of Astana.

Surrounded by musicians, this woman is wearing a popular Wu Ban bun among women in the Tang Dynasty, with her right hand raised in front and her left arm flicked back, and her lips slightly opened, seemingly singing.
The colorful and gorgeous court Yan music, skillful exotic musicians, clothes flying Nishang Yuyi song, eight-member orchestra with the camel's footsteps drift flow, such as the spring like wanton indulgence of the carnival, perhaps in line with our imagination of the Tang Dynasty.
Shuzhou Ladle, Rex Clang, Li Bai died and lived with you.
--Du Fu, "Memories of the Past"

--Li Bai's Will Enter the Wine
Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, and flows to the sea without return.
Don't you see that the mirror in the high hall is sad about the gray hairs, and that they become snow in the twilight of the green silk?
--Li Bai "will enter the wine"
"A parting line of thousands of miles, there is no time to come. Thirty days in the middle of the month, there is no night without thinking of each other." A handle of wine pot, twenty words, recorded the love of a generation.
Changsha kiln porcelain pots survive in large quantities, the shape of the Tang Dynasty classic wine pot style, open mouth, back mounted handle, short flow protruding, easy to pour wine. Wine pot design is simple, that they are low-cost, is then common people can consume the daily utensils. It is for this reason that the verse on the jug was widely sung. "Birds fly flat without (wu) near and far, people follow flowing water east and west, white clouds thousands of miles and thousands of miles, the bright moon in front of the stream and behind the stream." White clouds, flowing water, flying birds, journey, the Tang people used Chinese characters to calculate the unknown, counting thousands of miles, a year and a month, but could not calculate the distance of the human heart.
More choices and faster transportation have made people go farther, and made breaking up a breeze. You can imagine how many people longed for an ordinary love in those days of easy goodbyes.
Time settles in the dirt, making love and non-love unattainable. The first time I said goodbye I traveled thousands of miles, and the second time I said goodbye was the twilight of my life.
The belief of Fuxi and Nuwa was first seen in the pre-Qin Dynasty, and during the Western Han Dynasty, due to the influence of the yin and yang doctrine, Fuxi and Nuwa began to appear in the image of a pair of gods, representing the relative yin and yang, and the unending cycle of life. Fuxi and Nüwa, with human heads and snake bodies, have snake-tailed lower bodies, entwined in a spiral structure, with pleated skirts around their waists, and both are wearing large-sleeved upper jackets with rounded collars and black borders, with valance prints on a red background.
Fuxi is on the right and Nüwa is on the left, opposite each other, distinguished only by their makeup and headdress. Nüwa holds a rule in her right hand and four counting chips for calculations in her left hand; Fuxi holds a rule in his left hand and an inkwell for flicking ink lines in his right. If the serpentine body symbolizes the thirst for survival and reproduction, and represents the birth of all things after the creation of heaven and earth, then the rules, the square and circle, the sun and the moon, and the yin and yang symbolize the rationality and the will of a civilization to set the square and circle for the unknown, and to give the world a yardstick at the time when the chaos was first opened.
Through a picture of Fuxi and Nuwa, the dead finally return to the sky under the protection of the ancestral gods. Though the world is like a dog and life is dying, the stretching of life to pursue eternity and splendor in the midst of impermanence is preserved in our cultural memory. I can't see my homeland with my eyes, but when I look up, it's the same starry sky.
In the eyes of the Tang people, the dragon is an auspicious beast. When ancient Chinese people looked at the sky at night, they found that the stars in the east, namely Horn, Kang, Dui, Fang, Xin, Tail and Kei, were connected, which was the image of a dragon. So they called these stars together as the Dragon Star, to express their worship of the dragon.
Whether it is Du Fu's "Sshu nine real dragons out, - wash the ancient mortal horse empty", or Li Bai's "riding a flying dragon ear wind, across the river and across the sea and the sky through", the words are full of Tang people's ethereal temperament. Li Ying's sentence "four dynasties worry about the country as silk, the spirit of the dragon and horse sea crane" is to make the word "dragon and horse spirit" has become a synonym for full of vitality.
Gilt iron core copper dragon flying down, light and heavy, flowing and power, fixed in a moment. Thousands of years have passed, the grand palace has turned into dust, the streets of Chang'an have become ashes, the wind and clouds have changed, the flying dragon does not change its look, listen carefully, its sounding dragon roar, is the deep echo of the ancient civilization.

Every Lunar New Year, there is always a handover of work between the zodiac signs. The zodiac sign responsible for the current year hands over its responsibilities to the next, starting with the Rat and ending with the Pig. During the twelve years, each animal is on duty for only one year. And since the Spring and Autumn period, the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac have lived every moment of every minute. As the gods of time, they are in charge of the twelve hours. From the rat to the pig, the twelve animals make their appearance on time.
The twelve zodiac signs correspond to the twelve hours, twelve months, and twelve years, and have not been separated from us for a single moment.
The custom of Zodiac timekeeping has been passed down for thousands of years. When the Zodiac corresponds to the year of birth, we have the genus we were born with, and the twelve animals have changed from guardians to companions, we are not only guarded by the Zodiac, but also influenced by the Zodiac, and we live in a world blessed and symbolized by the Zodiac.
The gold-encrusted animal head agate cup is a wine vessel. Agate is a gelatinous mineral, although China also produces, but the literature of agate, is mostly from the foreign treasure. Large agates are extremely rare, and the hollowing out of the agate into a hollowed-out cup is a marvel of intent. The agate cup has a soybean-red tone, with yellow and white stone texture, as if it were an animal's markings. The jade craftsman carved the head of the animal at the small end, and the mouth and nose are inlaid with a gold cap that is removable. Most scholars believe that this cup, with an animal's head at the end and an overall horn shape, is what is known in the West as a "laiton," which appeared as early as the Assyrian Empire in the Valley of the Two Rivers and during the Achaemenid dynasty in Persia. In the Greek belief in the god of wine, the horned cup was a sacred object, with which wine can be injected to prevent poisoning. People held up the Laiton filled with wine so that the wine flowed down through the small holes and into their mouths like silk threads, and if they drank it all in one go, they were honoring the god of wine. It has been speculated that the animal head agate cup is likely to follow the earliest Sutra caravan into the Central Plains.
The grapes and wine in the night light cup of that powerful Tang Empire, exudes a kind of unrepeatable, but also can not be carved, bloomed in the marrow of the splendor and pride.

Every time the sunrise through the dust, illuminating the cold walls of the grotto, the colors from the Tang Dynasty awakened. The huge hall, towering like a mountain peak, is divided into three sections along the axis from front to back. Beams and columns dense, steep roofs, high buildings around the pavilions and terraces lined up, the square and corridor winding connection, the Buddha appeared in the center of the complex, sitting with his eyes downcast, flanked by the bodhisattvas and celestial maidens.
Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes 172 caves on the north wall of the "view of infinite longevity sutra change" painted in the Sheng Tang Dynasty, depicting the Amitabha Buddha resides in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The painting is based on Buddhist scriptures, and in order to convey the meaning to the world, the world of the Buddha's kingdom is depicted in all its aspects. Dunhuang's Tang dynasty sutra paintings often borrowed from the styles of famous artists from the Central Plains, rendering the stories of the sutras in large, stately images. The world of bliss in these paintings is like a spiritual portal created by the Tang people.
In this world, the illusion of earthly existence is danced in neon colors. The steps are straight and seemingly in front of the eyes, as if people in the mortal world only need to take one step forward along the ladder to log into the world of bliss. Carved railings and jade masonry, flowers and foliage, birds gather, look at the umbrella cover from afar, close inspection of the incense burner, are the palace can only be manufactured treasures.
The kabuki procession, with limp feet dancing on a round carpet, is inspired by Western customs. The fantasy world of the Buddhist scriptures has been brought to life by the brush of a painter. The enchanting land of joy looks more and more like a memory of the wonders of Chang'an. The focus of sight returns to the near distance, as if in the blink of an eye the celestial maiden raises her arm to light up the lantern tree, and for a moment, the twilight is ablaze with fire, is this not precisely the spectacle of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Chang'an? Even Chang'an, most of the night of the year are abiding by the curfew system, only on the New Year's Day, this dream city has twelve hours of light, white night as day. Crowds of people in fancy dress and different masks chase after the flowing light, like fish and dragons in the sea, wandering in limitless joy.
The splendor of worldly life and the superposition of the world of faith generate the illusion of ultimate happiness. The heavenly beings are like the world, and the other shore is so born.
The other side of the Tang dream of Buddha's kingdom is the door to our homeland. This is the imagination of the Tang people, but also the Tang in our imagination.
The ancient Chinese civilization has a long history, which exists in a vast sea of historical books, magnificent poems and songs; it exists in tens of thousands of cultural relics, beautiful architecture; it also exists in this vast land, people have left countless generations of outstanding creation.
