Day 31-湖北省博物馆 and 东湖

Today we are going to two places, 湖北省博物馆 and 东湖.I was very excited today as China was well known for their massive historical data and I looking forward to see those historical paintings, writings, famous people and many more. Beside Hubei provincial museum I was also looking forward as one of the student leaders recently went and he told me than it is a very beautiful place and lots of attractions to play. We are supposed to board the bus before 8.30am but we were earlier as we have learnt our lesson from the wu dang shan trip thus we reach at 8.25am. It was about 30minutes ride there and upon reaching, we saw lots of people queuing up to go in. As we went there in group thus we can go in by the group counter.

The security was much tied and they don’t allow people to bring in and sharp object and water fearing of us damaging the display. The meeting time was 10.30am but as we were from MDE we will need to reach there 15mins earlier.

our meeting place

This is the first piece of artifact I saw when I enter the museumThis is a tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng. There is four windows on it because god never forget to release the soul into the outside world giving him the freedom he use to have thus the maker of the coffin draw windows to allow the soul to go in and out as and when he likes.

The next artifact was this set of bells. It was buried together with the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng. The tomb was place in the eastern chamber while this set of 65 bronze bells was place in the central of the chamber. This two are the main highlight for the first floor. And for the second level were the lacquered articles of qin and han dynasties.

I’m standing under the Qin as my name is Wei Qin. haha

This is the belt that the emperor wears, which made of jade.The lacquered articles of Qin and Han dynasties main attraction was this belt which is made of jade and is being wear by the emperor.

It was about 5minutes ride from the museum. It is a very beautiful place where u can picnic, ride speed boat, fly kite and many other attractions to play. i wanted to sit in the boat that you will need to cycle in order to move the boat but the tour guide and the teachers do not allow us to play any water activities.

After that we when back to the hostel and our group meet up for project. After project, I went to meet the rest of my friends for dinner, than back to hostel to rest.

Reflection: The ancient history of China reflects the beauty of chinese culture and morality. With more than 5000 years of history, China has a wonderful culture and splendid civilization. During the visit, I really appreciate the antique that were being displayed. The item and the history behind the item was being preserved and passed the information from generation to generation. 历史就是这样奇妙.
