The History Of China---Qin Dynasty.

Today I will tell you about the history of CHINA ----Qin Dynasty,I think you will be interest in it.
The Qin Dynasty was the dynasty that redefined China. The emperor of this era wanted to conquer the warring states that the Zhou Dynasty had in essence created. This emperor succeeded and China was one nation once more. Upon conquering all the warring states, the emperor pronounced himself as the first emperor of China or, Qin Shi Huang Di. This was the first time outside forces knowledged the existance of another race of people, and aptly named the nation China after the then current dynasty, the Qin.
The Qin empire was vast. The first emperor pushed China's borders South to current day Vietnam, and current day Korea. But the central kingdom was still in the Yellow River Valley. Regardless, of all the accomplishments of the Qin, the best known is the Great Wall of China. Qin Dynasty is well known for beginning the Great Wall Of China.which was later augmented and enhanced during the Ming Dynasty.











Emperor Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant despite his contributions to the country. To prevent his people to think freely, he burnt many books which he feared would affect people's thinking. Worse, in his second year, after he learnt some scholars' discussions about his arrogance, he buried 460 of them alive. In history, these two events are called 'To Burn the Books and Bury the Scholars Alive'. And yet, at the same time, the Emperor built luxurious palaces, the Great Wall, the famous Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses, together with his own mausoleum, by imposing on the masses, through hard labor, heavy taxes, and rigorous law and military service, giving the community a difficult and arduous existence.




Qin Dynasty is so cool. i love the pottery soldiers.they are so cool. If you have chance you 'd better visit Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses and Qin Shi Huang Di 's mausoleum.I think you will be interest in it .

CHANG'E FLIES TO THE MOON


Today i will tell you about moon's story.this story's name is CHANG'E FLIES TO THE MOON!


Houyi , seeking perpetual youth, obtained the elixir of immortality from Queen Mother of the West who lived in the Kunlun Mountains. Returning to his palace, he confided the good news to his wife Chang'e, a lady graceful of carriage and unparalleled of beauty, very much loved by her husband.

One day, when Houyi was out, Chang'e secretly swallowed the potion in the hope that she would become immortal. The result was quite unexpected: she felt herself becoming light, so light that she flew up in spite of herself, drifting and floating in the air, until she reached the palace of the moon.

She is regarded by later generations as the goddess of the moon. This beautiful story has always been liked by the Chinese and provides a favourite allusion for poets and writers.

Chairman Mao Zedong's poem in memory of his martyred wife Yang Kaihui has these well - known lines:

The lonely moon goddess spreads her ample sleeves

To dance for these loyal souls in infinite space.

Here, in the Chinese original, the name Chang'e is used instead of "moon goddess". The figure of Chang'e, a beauty dressed in the elegant garments of a bygone age floating towards the moon, naturally supplies unending inspiration for painters and sculptors.


This story tell us~can not just the pursuit of perfection!
