Recently, the tomb of the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has been found. According to the historians, it's very likely that the Emperor Yang was buried with his Queen Xiao.

There are a few motifs in Arabic and Arabic-Islamic calligraphy to show that the ceramics were sent to Arabia for business. Now those ceramics are kept in the Museum of ArtScience, Singapore. Wan

GUEST43197	Interesting observations about knowledge, learning, and intelligence. One of my favorite Albert Einstein quotations is about the difference between genius and stupidity: he said "genius has its limitations", meaning there are no limits on stupidity!

Among the interesting parts of old buildings, its eaves have some heavenly horses. I asked a friend about those heavenly horses and he gave me a few links, but ending me watching old drama series Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre. Wan

Haha, I haven't read any masterpiece of Louis Cha or Jin Yong. But I have watched many TV series adapted from his Kung Fu novels. Recently, another version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils has been shown on TV. Honestly, I don't like this version. The actor who plays the role of Qiao Feng doesn't play his role very well.

I like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils made in 1997. The actor Felix Wong Yat Wa performs the role of Qiao Feng very well. He also plays the role of Guo Jing in Legend of The Condor Heroes in 1983.

Back to the topic. I don't know if you visited Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai. There are many small sculptures on the eaves. They look very vivid. I am sure you know some of them such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
