I don't know the language.

Silent · 03-21-2005, 02:46 PM

That is in French.

It is my 1000 post there. I feel very happy to have the good time here.

The weather is not good, So the pix not so beautiful. And I am a new shutterbug.
The Ancestor Lei was a famous official in Zhnajiang. He did many important things there. There are many tales about him.
You ask for the original pix if you like.

Congratulations on 1000 posts Billy!!!

Congratulations, is Ancestor Lei one of your ancestors or is that a customary title for famous dead people?

The latter.

It is reported that the statues were made in the 10th century. There were five statues, but now one is lost and one lost its head.
The archeologists cant explain why they were made and who made becasue there is too little resource about them.
The statues are very simple. The time, rain, wind and human made their faces not so clear because the stone is vesuvianite.

He still kneels down although his head is gone.

Billy · 04-12-2005, 07:48 AM

They kneel down under the big trees for ages. Their skin also become green.

The stone people look like they were designed to hold something in their lap that fit into that hole in the bottom or is that for some other purpose?

The one without a head looks like his hands broke as well, showing that there is a matching hole in the hands. Looks like they held a flagpole or a tentpole. If there were five, perhaps there was one for each corner and one for the center.

Hundred-year-old bell & the reproduction

Billy · 04-12-2005, 08:13 AM

The words on tablet were written by KangXi, one famous Qing Dynasty Emperor.

Billy, for the bell pictures, do you mean that the second picture is the first bell's "replacement?"

A "reproduction" is supposed to look exactly like the original, and that second bell doesn't look very much like the first.

As always, wonderful pictures!
