Art A Way to Relax

  This is a huge jade sculpture of animal Pixiu I saw in Beijing Arts and Crafts Exhibition. It is very valuable. I wish I can buy it back and put in my house. Why? This Pixiu by Chinese culture is a very lucky animal with a head like a dragon and a body like a lion. If you put in your house right hand side, it can help you get rid of all the evil things and brings you good luck and big fortune. It gives your house the best fengshui you can ever get. Of course, a beautiful art craft! 

  This bridge is located in one of my favorite royal gardens Summer Palace in Beijing. I took this picture when I visited. It has the history of more than 300 years. As you can see from the picture, it has 17 arch. It has already experienced earthquakes and floods but still in good condition. I not only admire it's beautiful design but also its construction structure. 

  Do you know what is this building? The 5 characters on the black board is Starbucks Coffee in Chinese. I was attracted by the design when I traveled to Beijing last year. Very different from our American Starbucks Coffee Shop. This is how our Starbucks Coffee Shop look like in China. I hope you enjoy it! 

 

 

The title of this stamp is called Preparing Silk. It was issued on August 2013. This is a Ancient Chinese painting showing how women prepare silk in those days. I collect stamps because I love the art design, I also realized that it is a very good hobby - it can calm down myself and also make me become more patient and more focused. It is very rewarding. I hope enjoy my posting.
