樊博轩The worship of Heaven among the Chinese dates back to over 3,000 years ago. Our ancestors believed that Heaven, also known as the "Heavenly Deity" or "Heavenly Emperor," was the mysterious force that directed all things on Earth, such as natural harvests and personal fate. Heaven stood for righteousness. Natural disasters on Earth were regarded as warnings to people for wrongdoings of one kind or another. In the face of a calamity, people would say, "This is punishment from Heaven." In the second year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (r. 1875-1908), the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests was burned down in a big fire. The emperor lost his composure at the news and all the ministers turned ashen gray, believing the disaster to be a bad omen from Heaven. To the ancient Chinese, however, Heaven was more inclined toward love and tolerance, punishing people only occasionally. Thus, our forebears were always grateful to Heaven.

用户7185721:Subjects covered in his book range from ancient wonders such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, and traditional residences of ordinary people, to enduring artworks of calligraphy, painting, landscape gardening, Peking Opera, and porcelain. Under the authors' pen, these subjects have all been imbued with a living spirit to epitomize Chinese people's real life interests. Even in a game of go, the authors have discovered "kindred friendship" among the players, who play a "good game" through principles of cooperation and coexistence. In the description and analysis of A Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, or of Old Beijing and Old Shanghai, the authors provide readers with glimpses of Chinese people's contentment with a peaceful and harmonious life. This is perhaps part of the reason why Chinese culture has lasted for thousands of years.2:The emperor used to offer oblations to Heaven here twice a year, in the spring and winter. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests was the site of the spring rituals, where the emperor and the ministers would gather for the ceremony signified by the name of the hall. On the Winter Solstice, they would make offerings at the Circular Mound Altar, to show their gratitude for the great compassion of Heaven toward the human world. In times of drought or flood, the emperor would come here with civil and military officials to pray for assistance from heaven. Only the emperor could pray at the Temple of Heaven. Ordinary people were not allowed access. Yet the idea of showing awe and respect to Heaven was not reserved for the emperor alone, but was shared by the people as well. 3: For example, the half-squatting, half-kneeling archers in Pit No. 2 each have their hair tied in a knot and wear suits of armor over their war robes. They genuflect on one leg while squatting on the other, their bodies leaning forward and their hands pulling bows. Although no bows or arrows survived the long years underground, the archers' posture clearly shows the tension of the process of shooting.

用户718590Confucius(551-479 BC), known in China as Kongzi, given name Qiu and alias Zhongni, was a native of Zouyi (present-day Qufu in Shandong Province) of the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). A great thinker, ed- ucator and founder of Confucianism, Confucius is an ancient sage to the Chinese people. His words and life story were recorded by his disciples and their students in The Analects (Lunyu). An enduring classic of Chinese culture, The Analects has influenced all thinkers, writers and politicians in the over-2,000-year-longhistory of China after Confucius. No scholar could truly un- derstand this long-standing culture or the inner world of the ancient Chinese without this book. Much of Confucian thought on Heaven

用户718589When a horse gallops full speed, it looks as if it were flying in the air. So the ancient Chinese thought of a fast horse as a "heavenly steed soaring in the skies." Usually, the sculpture of a swift horse had to be set atop a floating cloud. Galloping Horse Overtaking a Flying Swallow, however, has one of its hind hoofs set on a swallow in flight, while the other legs are airborne. The horse holds its head high, with its eyes staring, its nostrils flaring and its ears up. Part of the mane is standing erect, while the tail thrown up in the air. Its body features strong, smooth muscles, and its belly is contracted as it runs. As the galloping horse overtakes the tiny swallow, the latter turns back to look at it in surprise.

They genuflect on one leg while squatting on the other, their bodies leaning forward and their hands pulling bows. Although no bows or arrows survived the long years underground, the archers' posture clearly shows the tension of the process of shooting. The standing archers feature strong bodies and highly alert expressions, with eyebrows lowered, nostrils slightly flaring and ears alert. Listening attentively, they seem ready to strike at the first signal of battle. Even the suits of armor have different creases to show the movements of the different soldiers. A range of use of body strength in the half-squatting and half-kneeling archers is also discernible. Such vivid representation of detail helps to create the illusion that the warriors are actually alive.

用户7185773.Altogether, four pits housing thousands of terracotta warriors have been unearthed, numbered according to the time sequence of their discovery. Pit No. 1, with an area of more than 14,000 square meters, is the largest. It is home to an entire battle formation of life-size soldiers and horses. The front echelon consists of 210 soldiers standing in three rows, with the commander in the front. About 6,000 soldiers make up the main body of the formation. They stand in 38 columns, some as long as 180 meters. All of them sport suits of armor and hold bronze weapons. On either side of the central echelon is a row of 180 soldiers, as flanks of the formation. At the back, more than 100 warriors stand, probably part of the rear guard. Among the formation are 32 terracotta horses, with four drawing a wooden war chariot.
