Alchemy of Souls
Episode 05
Aan het begin van de episode krijgen we wat informatie over het verleden van Naksu, wat meer vragen oproept.
Uk geniet van de rust, iets waar Deok niet zo blij mee is, totdat de komst van Yul en Danggu herinneren aan het verleden tussen Naksu en Yul opgerakeld worden.
Uk blijft me fascineren. Hij hunkert naar vrede, vooral met zichzelf denk ik, en naar een plek van toebehoren. Doormiddel van het vervullen van zijn potenties/lot of het uitsnijden van zijn eigen plek in de wereld.
Vorige episode leek hij richting zijn potenties te gaan tot het gesprek met Jin. Waarin hem gevraagd werd of hij geen genoegen kon nemen met een rustig leven als lid van de Park familie. Hij zei toen nee, maar deze episode leek hij toch een rustig leven te willen.
Maar wanneer hij een gesprek heeft met Deok over de boom uit haar jeugd vraagt hij haar of ze een wens heeft die alleen hij kan vervullen. Hiermee lijkt het alsof hij een rede buiten zichzelf nodig heeft om zichzelf te kunnen motiveren om controle te krijgen over zijn krachten.

The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty
Episode 03
1 moord wordt opgelost en de twee blijken geen verbinding te hebben. Ze kruiste elkaar wegens omstandigheden en gelegenheid. Toch schijnt er meer te spelen, want iemand blijkt bang te zijn dat als de twee geliefden opgepakt werden iets anders aan het licht komt.
Ergens vermoeid ik dat de Wan Zhen'er er iets te maken mee heeft. Ik ben namelijk niet vergeten dat ze moest gapen toen de kroonprins te kennen liet weten dat hij zich bezorgt maakte over zijn studie maatje. Misschien was het toeval, maar het mij leekt het een indicatie van haar karakter.

Love Is More Than a Word
Episode 09
Een oude liefde komt om een gunst vragen op zoek naar bescherming. Maar decorum of om veiligheidsredenen wil dat ze er niet eerlijk over kan zijn of de reden waarom te benoemen.
Cui en Jin hebben een gebruikelijke sparring sessie en Jin weet de boekhouder van zijn karretje te spannen, iets wat hij doorheeft maar laat gebeuren aangezien hij er baad bij zal hebben als Tao Mo niet meer bij Gu She verblijft.
De interacties tussen Gu She en Tao Mo zijn uitermate soft en het was hilarisch om te zien hoe Tao Mo alles en iedereen laat vallen zodra Gu She zijn gezicht laat zien.

About Youth
Episode 02
Qizhang en Guang brengen wat tijd door en er is een moment waarop Qizhang moet lachen. Iets wat veel liever zie op iemands z'n verjaardag dan verdriet.
Het lijkt er op dat Ray de enige is met wie hij bevriend is, al lijken ze niet al hun zorgen met elkaar te delen. Toch kent hij hem goed genoeg om door te hebben dat Ray niet zo blij is als hij doet lijken.
Ray heeft blijkbaar een date met het vriendje, die te laat komt, geen aandacht aan Ray schenkt, die er trouwens fantastisch uitziet, en vervolgens op zn telefoon gaat zitten. 😮‍💨 Zak.
Hopelijk beseft Ray dat hij beter verdient.

      if   someone   were   to  ask   about   the   story   of   the   lim   family   ,   it   would   take   much   more   time   than   what's   given   .   the   family's   history   is   rich   ,   delving   back   to   the   days   of   the   joseon   dynasty   and   the   creation   of   haekyang   group   which   has   led   to   the   family   being   one   of   the   wealthiest   in   all   of   south   korea   .   lim   namgi   is   the   second   eldest   son   of   the   lim   family   ,   with   movie   star   quality   visuals   and   the   inability   to   be   tied   down   .   in   the   latter   half   of   the   1980s   ,   namgi   and   his   elder   brother   were   often   the   talk   of   the   town—   who   would   be   lucky   enough   to   nab   one   of   the   most   eligible   bachelors   in   all   of   seoul   ?   both   are   academically   inclined   with   seoul   national   university   being   their   stomping   ground   ,   and   for   namgi   ,   his   world   becomes   flipped   on   its   axis   when   he   randomly   bumps   into   kwon   hwayoung   one   afternoon   at   starfield   library   .  
          hwayoung   is   as   studious   as   she   is   beautiful   ,   and   if   someone   were   to   ask   if   she   knew   the   lim   brothers   ,   she'd   look   at   them   as   if   they   asked   her   for   the   formula   to   get   to   saturn   .   while   the   other   people   around   her   gossiped   about   the   celebrity - like   lim   brothers   ,   hwayoung   had   her   nose   tucked   into   her   music   sheets   and   her   headphones   were   constantly   playing   the   likes   of   bach   or   beethoven—   she   didn't   have   time   for   dating   .   getting   into   the   music   program   at   hanyang   university   had   been   hard   work   as   she   didn't   come   from   privilege   .   she   spent   hours   upon   hours   practicing   her   cello   and   studying   ,   knowing   that   only   a   scholarship   could   afford   her   the   education   she   desired   .   unlike   namgi   ,   hwayoung's   parents   owned   a   small   but   stable   banchan   restaurant   that   definitely   couldn't   afford   to   pay   for   a   school   like   hanyang   .   her   hard   work   ,   even   working   at   her   parents'   restaurant   despite   her   busy   schedule   ,   eventually   paid   off   and   she   found   herself   studying   at   her   dream   school   .
          it's   a   random   saturday   morning   ,   a   rare   day   off   for   hwayoung   to   do   as   she   pleases   ,   when   she   quite   literally   bumps   into   lim   namgi   .   the   two   end   up   exploring   the   massive   library   together   ,   and   namgi   finds   hwayoung   to   be   a   breath   of   fresh   air   .   to   hwayoung   ,   he's   just   another   boy   who   she'll   never   get   to   know   ,   and   will   probably   never   hear   from   again   .   they   trade   numbers   but   she   doesn't   expect   for   him   to   call   ,   but   later   on   that   night   she   gets   a   call   from   namgi   asking   her   out   for   a   date   ,   and   the   rest   is   history   .   hwayoung   and   namgi   become   a   happy   couple   within   no   time   ,   and   just   two   years   after   that   fateful   day   ,   the   two   become   engaged   during   a   beautiful   trip   to   paris   to   celebrate   their   anniversary   .   it   takes   nothing   for   hwayoung's   dream   wedding   to   come   to   life   ,   even   if   it   has   to   be   put   on   hold   when   namgi   is   called   to   duty   .   their   ceremony   is   lavish   as   is   their   honeymoon   ,   and   upon   returning   to   seoul   ,   the   couple   settle   into   their   new   lives   :   namgi   is   the   director   of   development   within   his   family's   company   and   hwayoung   is   first   chair   cellist   with   the  seoul   philharmonic   orchesta   .
          after   six   years   of   wedded   bliss   ,   hwayoung   and   namgi   start   their   family   .   they   welcomed   their   first   daughter   nahyun   in   1993   ,   followed   by   nayoung   in   1995   ,   nara   in   2000   ,   and   naeun   in   2002   .   for   all   four   girls   ,   they   were   raised   in   a   world   where   they   didn't   have   to   want   for   anything   .   the   girls   were   raised   in   the   lap   of   luxury   ,   with   their   days   consisting   of   music   lessons   ,   dance   lessons   ,   and   whatever   else   they   loved   to   do   ,   followed   by   a   lovely   sit   down   dinner   with   their   parents   every   night   .   for   second   eldest   daughter   nayoung   ,   she'd   fallen   in   love   with   ballet   from   the   tender   age   of   five   and   even   picked   up   on   the   piano   .   nayoung   was   a   lovely   child   who   grew   into   a   popular   teenager   ,   attending   one   of   the   best   schools   in   seoul   alongside   her   sisters   .
          nayoung   is   as   academically   inclined   as   she   is   popular   ,   landing   her   with   an   acceptance   to   snu   much   like   her   father   and   older   sister   .   she   studies   design   ,   with   a   particular   interest   in   fashion   .   she   eventually   graduates   ,   and   having   such   a   last   name   opens   doors   for   her   within   the   world   of   fashion   .   nayoung   inserts   herself   into   the   fast   paced   world   of   seoul's   fashion   scene   ,   instantly   finding   her   place   within   the  chaotic   world   .   her   instagram   is   filled   with   behind   the   scenes   footage   from   seoul   fashion   week   ,   and   even   her   own   styling   work   ,   which   eventually   lands   her   the   job   of   stylist   for   a   hotly   anticipated   girl   group   .   after   three   years   ,   and   a   few   styling   awards   later   ,   nayoung   finds   herself   as   a   splash   on   the   new   york   city   scene   when   she's   invited   to   her   first   new   york   fashion   week   and   even   featured   within   the   likes   of   vogue   .
          it   takes   little   convincing   for   then   twenty   five   year   old   nayoung   to   make   the   move   to   new   york   ,   but   she's   no   longer   behind   the   scenes   .   she   becomes   a   fashion   week   favorite   ,   invited   to   sit   front   row   by   a   number   of   fashion   houses   thanks   to   her   impeccable   eye   for   fashion   .   with   her   doll - esque   features   ,   it's   no   surprise   that   nayoung  suddenly   finds   herself   on   the   cover   of   magazines   ,   with   her   very   first   being   a   cover   and   spread   in   vogue   korea   .   over   the   past   three   years   ,   nayoung   has   made   her   place   within   new   york's   social   scene   ,   having   risen   from   just   another   girl   in   the   fashion   world   to   being   one   of   the   top   fashion   insiders   and   influencers   .   
          nayoung   wouldn't   be   as   known   as   she   is   without   having   her   name   in   a   few   headlines   outside   of   fashion   .   every   so   often   ,   nayoung   was   spotted   with   a   new   beau—   actors   ,   athletes   ,   models   ,   millionaires—   you   name   it   and   her   name   was   attached   to   them   .   most   like   to   say   that   her   relationships   are   the   reason   people   know   her   name   ,   but   nayoung   lets   it   all   roll   off   her   back   .   to   some   she's   a   not   so   pleasant   word   and   so   others   she's   just   living   her   best   life   ,   not   letting   herself   get   too   committed   when   she   doesn't   want   to   .   most   wonder   if   she's   ever   really   serious   with   the   people   she's   seen   with   ,   but   only   a   few   have   made   it   to   the   status   of   instagram   official   .
HEADCANONS.
nayoung   ,   with   her   status   within   fashion   ,   was   signed   as   the   global   ambassador   for   dior   and   dior   beauty   in   late   2019   .   initially   ,   she   had   done   a   few   ads   for   the   brand   ,   but   was   officially   signed   in   october   of   that   year   .
she   lives   in   a   gorgeous   brownstone   in   manhattan   ,   priced   at   $4.8m   .   initially   ,   she   lived   in   a   rented   condo   before   she   purchased   the   brownstone   in   2022   .   
when  it   comes   to   her   headline   ,   it   is   true   and   she   won't   deny   it   !   nayoung   is   often   the   heartbreaker   in   most   of   her   relationships   ,   preferring   to   end   the   relationship   before   it   gets   too   far   .   walking   away   from   the   person   who   proposed   to   her   hurt   the   most   ,   even   if   she   won't   readily   admit   it   .
personality   wise   ,   it's   easy   to   get   along   with   nayoung   but   it's   also   really   easy   to   get   on   her   bad   side   !   she   is   a   loyal   friend   and   partner   ,   but   break   her   trust   once   and   it   will   take   a   long   time   for   her   to   forgive   you   .   she's   charming   and   takes   nothing   for   her   to   spark   up   a   conversation   with   someone   ,   even   if   it's   her   first   time   meeting   them   .   
despite   living   in   the   lap   of   luxury   from   literally   the   moment   she   was   born   ,   nayoung   isn't   afraid   of   a   little   hard   work   .   she   likes   to   get   dirty   ,   and   has   a   lot   of   fun   doing   things   with   her   hands   .   nayoung   has   helped   her   mom   with   opening   the   new   york   branch   of   the   kwon - lim   foundation   ,   which   helps   provide   music   and   academic   scholarships   for   underprivileged   students   in   the   state   .

Your monarch(s) is given two options, hand the throne over to another noble family or abolish the monarchy all together. Which do they choose?
Hello, hello, my friend! What a good ask!
I've, actually, been thinking of this for Reasons outside of this ask and my conclusion is that they'd totally allow another family to rule. Most likely, it would be to a house they have relations with though, and I doubt the Reyes family counts / Viviane would give Lorri a crown ( @nexility-sims ). Therefore, it would have to either be: the Bach family, which the Rodchester house was actually created from, or the Egloff family, who aren't as closely related. The Head of the Bach family is currently Josef Bach Schulke, who is Count March and Prince of Iona by marriage to Princess Rose Mary, aka Vivi's littlest sibling. He's also their third cousin, once removed, so ew. The other option would be Countess Liselott Katrin Amalia Egloff, who has no kids or spouse to continue her lil dynasty. She's named after and descends from Elisabet Catrine Amalia, who was the wife of Everette I, which makes her Vivi's Third Cousin. My personal vote is on the Bach family, but I see the case for Countess Liselott.

KOMMANDO JAGHATAI und das HORN DES HÖHLENKÖNIGS – Teil V: DER RIESE des TALS DER TOTEN
Unsere TAPFEREN HELDEN haben das TAL DER TOTEN gefunden, doch VIELE ABLENKUNGEN pflastern ihren Weg. Nach Verhandlungen mit JAMMERLINGEN, GEISTERN und TODGEWEIHTEN ORKS können sie endlich in das Tal eindringen, und den geheimnisvollen WÄCHTER aufsuchen – werden sie ihn finden?
KOMMANDO JAGHATAI seilt sich in das eigentliche Tal ab, und sichtet auch schon gleich den EINÄUGIGEN RIESENWÄCHTER, der dort BRABBELND UND MUSIZIEREND umherschreitet. Nachdem sich JAGHATAI DER HEIMLICHE schlau versteckt hat, um eventuell feindliche Riesen zu assassinieren, nimmt IOLAS RIESENSCHWÄTZER Kontakt auf.
Der Riese stellt sich als CHROME vor und ist, wie viele seiner Art, GRENZDEBIL. Er scheint den Unterschied zwischen lebendig und tot nicht so ganz zu begreifen, und fordert die Helden auf, bei ihm zu „rasten“, wie seine anderen „Gäste“. Nachdem sie ihn erfolgreich vom Mord abgebracht haben, erwähnt er die Druiden – Figuren namens WINDAL und ANDRAL, die aber wahrscheinlich längst tot sind. Auf die Möglichkeit, dass neue Druiden in sein Tal einziehen können, reagiert er HÖCHST ERFREUT. Außerdem betont er immer wieder, dass er sein HORN wieder braucht. Wie er sein AUGE VERLOREN hat, erinnert er sich nicht mehr.
Die Helden erwähnen die anliegen der JAMMERLINGE, und tatsächlich gelingt es ihnen, ihm abzuringen, dass er mit seiner Musik ihre Gänge NICHT MEHR zum EINSTURZ bringt. Dafür muss das Horn aber erst gestimmt werden – hierfür war ein sogenannter PFLEGER zuständig. Iolas fragt Chrome vorsichtig nach seinem Pfleger aus – offenbar eine druidische Dynastie von Helfern und Beratern, die aber von ZYGOFER und seiner EXPEDITION unterwandert und abgelöst wurden. Dieser hatte die letzte Pflegerposition usurpiert, und danach ging alles den Bach runter.
Der Pfleger hat in einer bestimmten Hütte gewohnt – unsere Helden dorthin auf, da der Riese EINDEUTIG EINEN VORMUND braucht. Die Hütte ist SCHWER MAGISCH, und Iolas und WILGRIM finden rasch heraus, dass es sich um SYMBOLISTIK handelt. Mit magischen Zeichen wurde eine GRÄSSLICHE FALLE installiert, sie sich recht einfach durch Wegwischen auflösen lässt (wenn auch nicht dauerhaft).
Eine oberflächliche Untersuchung ergibt, dass die Hütte VÖLLIG VERGAMMELT ist, und dass aus dem Obergeschoss eine SELTSAME STIMME MATHEMATISCHE FORMELN REZITIERT. Nach einiger Arbeit und Kletterei gelingt es schließlich, die Helden in den ersten Stock zu holen, dort, wo die Stimme herkommt.
Erst einmal finden sie aber ein BETT und ein SKELETT, beide auch MÄCHTIG MAGISCH. Wilgrim analysiert: LEBENS- und TODESMAGIE, kann aber wieder nicht sagen, was sie eigentlich macht. Im Nebenraum finden sie dann endlich den Stimmenurheber – einen GEIST. Dieser scheint in einer Art DENKSCHLEIFE gefangen zu sein; eine weitere Analyse ergibt, dass er MAGISCH GEZWUNGEN wird, unmögliche Paradoxa aufzulösen. Er kann sich nicht einmal rasieren, der Arme. Außerdem finden die Helden im Raum einen HORNSTIMMER, den LOFARR MEISTERHANDWERKER sogar bedienen könnte.
Die Magier nehmen sich nun endlich die Zeit, die ganze Magie hier gründlicher zu untersuchen. Der Zauber im Nebenraum ist eine machtvolle ERLÖSUNG, mittels derer eine Seele nach ihrem Tod für immer FORTGEHT, und auch mit der schlimmsten Nekromantie nicht zurückgeholt werden kann (Iolas ist enttäuscht). Der Zauber auf dem Geist ist ein einfacher Zauberzwang, den Iolas dann kurzerhand aufhebt. Der Geist kann endlich wieder SELBSTBESTIMMT HANDELN, und erleidet von dem Schock und der Überforderung prompt einen GEISTIGEN ZUSAMMENBRUCH.
Wilgrim BEHANDELT den psychotischen Geist prompt mit PSYCHOTHERAPIE, bis er aufhört UNFUG ZU FASELN – Schläge auf den Kopf sind in diesem Fall ja leider nicht anwendbar. Nach erfolgreicher Seelenheilkunde kann er endlich erklären, dass er ALINAOS war, ein HILFSPFLEGER, der von ZYGOFER aufgrund einer Nachlässigkeit zu EWIGER DENKSPORTAUFGABE verurteilt wurde – wahrlich ein Schicksal schlimmer als der Tod. Auf die anderen Neuigkeiten (er tot, Tal gefallen, alles kaputt, überall Jammerlinge) reagiert er mit ERFREULICHER GELASSENHEIT.
Weiterhin kann er berichten, dass es sich bei dem Skelett nebenan um ZYGOFERS EHEFRAU ERODNE gehandelt hat, die wohl von jemandem nach ihrem Tod SICHER AUS ZYGOFERS KLAUEN gerissen wurde – sie hatte ihn betrogen, und hätte die übliche ironische Folterstrafe zu erwarten gehabt. Alinaos, der vor Zygofer immer noch MANISCH-PARANOIDE ANGST hat, hätte das auch sehr gerne. Weiterhin erwähnt er, dass im Keller des Hauses noch WICHTIGE DINGE zu finden sind.
Die Helden schaffen den MÄSSIG GEISTESGESUNDEN GEIST nach draußen, und stellen ihn Chrome vor, der auch in diesem Fall nicht so wirklich zu verstehen scheint, in welchem Zustand sich sein neuer „Gast“ befindet. Außerdem kann Lofarr mit Alinaos‘ Hilfe endlich das HORN reparieren, ohne sich ERNSTHAFT ZU VERLETZEN – fast. Chrome ist dafür RIESENDANKBAR, lässt sich überreden, die FRÜCHTE mit den Jammerlingen zu teilen, und fängt sofort damit an, Geisterberuhigungsmusik zu spielen.
Und er schenkt den Helden ein ARTEFAKT – GANIRAS LINSE, einen MAGISCHEN TODESLASER, der mit uralter Energie flammende Lichtlanzen schleudert, die an Vernichtungskraft ungefähr so durchschlagend sind wie ein BILLIGER WURFSPEER. Dafür kann das Artefakt sich auch noch SELBST ZERSTÖREN, wenn man die Nase voll davon hat, ein überteuertes Stück Glas durch die Gegend zu schleifen.
Die Helden, neu ausgestattet mit dem kleinsten Todeslaser aller Zeiten, beschließen, nun endlich diesen geheimnisvollen KELLER zu durchsuchen … was werden sie dort finden?
Loot: Ganiras Linse / Jaghatais Todeslaser. (Fernkampf, Reichweite fern, Werte = Speer +W8, kann alle Macht in einen Selbstzerstörungsexplosion legen [hoffentlich hast du gute Werte in Werfen]).

Bach Ma Temple, Hanoi
February 13, 2024
Bach Ma, a Folk religion Temple is one of the four guardian temples of Thang Long (present day Hanoi).
The temple, constructed in the 9th century, is dedicated to Long Do, a Folk religion deity. Legend has it that Long Do overpowered witchcraft the Chinese are purported to have used during their rule to subjugate the Vietnamese.
According to lore, this deity appeared in the dreams of Emperor Ly Thai To informing him to relocate his capital to a location guided by a white horse. The horse tracks led the Emperor to Thang Long (present day Hanoi), where he built his new Capital. 
To commemorate the deity’s support, the emperor moved the Long Do temple to the current location to be a guardian of the East and changed the name of the temple to Bach Ma (White Horse in Vietnamese).
Ly Thai To, the founding emperor of Ly dynasty (1009–1225) and the third emperor of Vietnam, post-independence from the Chinese in 939, unified the country under a centralized administration.  The country then was known as Dai Viet, the then-name of Vietnamese Kingdom confined to the northern parts along the Red River. 
Emperor Ly Thai Lo, to guard his city against malevolent spirits, built a guardian temple, at each of the four cardinal points surrounding the city.  Bach Ma Temple is intended to guard against the malevolent spirits invading from the east.
It was very common in many S.E. Asian countries for the kings and emperors to build at each of the four cardinal points surrounding the city a temple, considered sacred, to honor spirits and deities who would guard his city and its inhabitants against malevolent spirits.
Tumblr media
The shrine of the white horse that led the emperor to where to locate the guardian temple. During the Tet week celebrations, the locals visit the Bach Ma temple to pray and pay homage to the white horse.
So, what is Folk Religion?
Since ancient times Folk religions (or indigenous religions), associated with a particular group of people, ethnicity or tribe, have consisted of belief in fertility, worship of nature and spirits, and worship of man. Examples of folk religions include African traditional religions, Chinese folk religions, Native American religions and Australian aboriginal religions.
Folk religions often have no formal creeds or sacred texts.  Gods (or Deities), sometimes numerous, if they do exist, can be ancient national heroes; imagined persons told in tales; spirits, often residing in nature (rivers, mountains, rocks); or even kind-hearted people.  Often shamans act as an intermediary between a person seeking benevolence and the deities.  Some of Folk religions' places of worship (houses of worship if at all they exist, or shrines at home) may also contain icons of other later-day religions.

Love and Beauty: Ancient Rome Exhibition in Beijing Highlights China-Italy Exchanges
— By Li Yuche | June 13, 2023 | Global Times
Tumblr media
Featuring rare finds like a second century marble statue depicting the "Leaning" Aphrodite - the Goddess of Love and Beauty - an ­exhibition of ancient Roman art organized by China and Italy opened on Monday at the Beijing World Art Museum of the China Millennium Monument.
The Light of Ancient Roman Civilization is the second stellar cultural event in the past three months to feature Italy's top-notch cultural legacies in Beijing.
Besides ancient Roman art from the collections at Italy's National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN), 50 self-portrait paintings from Florence's Uffizi Gallery collection are also on ­display at the National Museum of China.
This Italian art in Beijing creates great momentum for China-Italy exchanges in 2023. The Ambassador of Italy to China Massimo Ambrosetti told the Global Times that the two countries' cultural communication has already become a "tradition."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beyond Space and Time
A total of 69 Italian works, including sculptures of mythical European figures like Aphrodite and the god of wine Dionysus, are on display at the exhibition hall with the accompaniment of a live performance of Bach's prelude by a violinist.
These artworks that carry the charm of Greco-Roman philosophy were created around the time of first and second centuries, a period of time that was pivotal to the Western art world since it was during this time that its principles and perceptions on aesthetics formed.
Sculptures, Pompeii frescos and mosaics of extreme artistic value are not the only Italian treasures on display at the exhibition. Deceptively ­modern-looking glass cups and bottles and other everyday objects provide a window to view Europeans' ancient lifestyles.
These relics are only a small portion of the more than 3 million items in the collection at MANN, the first public museum in Western history. At the time when these artifacts showing Mediterranean civilization were created, the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220) ruled China.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mario Grimaldi, the exhibition's Italian curator, said that the Beijing exhibition aims to relate "different but comparable aspects of Roman society" and "compare them with the Chinese one."
The exhibition's guide, MANN's director Paolo Giulierini, told the Global Times that while the show features only Italian relics, he is still able to imagine their counterparts in Chinese civilizations.
"The Roman empire and the Chinese empire are notable in history. When I see men and women depicted in Roman art, I can also feel the men and women in the Chinese context," ­Giulierini said, adding that the cultures of China and Italy met each other "beyond space and time."
Tumblr media
Giulierini also introduced Italy's relic conservation strategy to the Global Times, noting that digital technology has become an essential part of archaeological exhibitions.
Giulierini said that, to provide a better visitor experience, MANN has developed a video game in Chinese that walks visitors through their collections and the museum's history. The game has been played by 2 million Chinese visitors.
Similar to China's creative attempts such as using 3D printing to create exhibits on the Mogao Caves and Yungang Grottoes, Giulierini said that Italy has also used digital technology to restore ancient art.
He said he looks forward to collaborating with China to recreate ancient buildings and sculptures in virtual reality.
"It is only through dialogue that we can break down the barriers that separate us and create a shared sense of humanity," Giulierini noted, adding that he believes museums are "not just a repository of objects," but a "non-political neutral space" to assist cultural exchanges.
Tumblr media
Continued Tradition
Ambrosetti attended the Beijing exhibition's opening ceremony, during which he said he believes shows like this are not just for "presenting or restoring" works of art, but also for learning about the "civilizations that made the artworks."
In the mid-1990s, he was already familiar with Chinese culture as he studied the art of porcelain in Beijing.
An art lover, Ambrosetti noted that China-Italy cultural exchanges have long been a tradition, with notable figures like Italian voyager Marco Polo, who came to China along the ancient Silk Road, and Matteo Ricci, an Italian missionary who brought Western knowledge about subjects such as geometry and geography to China.
Tumblr media
The current exhibition isn't the only event to carry on the ­tradition of China-Italy cultural exchanges in the contemporary age. Another art ­exhibition featuring 82 Italian Renaissance artworks was held to celebrate the China-Italy Year of Culture and Tourism in 2006.
This Culture and Tourism Year tradition has been continued for decades. Addressing China and Italy's shared "bilateral comprehensiveness," Ambrosetti said the cultural partnership between the two countries will continue.

Here is a brief timeline of the history of Vietnam:
Prehistory:
- Archaeological evidence shows that humans have lived in what is now Vietnam for at least 30,000 years, with early civilizations including the Dong Son culture and the Sa Huynh culture.
2nd century BCE - 10th century CE:
- The region that is now Vietnam was part of the Chinese Han Empire for much of this period, with Chinese culture and language influencing Vietnamese society and politics.
- The Trung sisters led a rebellion against Chinese rule in 40 CE, but were ultimately defeated.
- In the 10th century, the Vietnamese kingdom of Dai Co Viet was established, with its capital at Hanoi.
Dai Co Viet was an early Vietnamese kingdom that existed from the 10th to the 11th century. It was founded by Ngo Quyen in 939 CE, after he defeated the Chinese Southern Han army at the Battle of Bach Dang River. The kingdom was known for its military strength, cultural achievements, and political stability.
- The name Dai Co Viet means "Great Viet of the Ancient Era," and it was intended to distinguish the kingdom from other Vietnamese states that existed at the time.
- The capital of Dai Co Viet was at Hoa Lu, in what is now Ninh Binh Province in northern Vietnam. The city was strategically located on the Red River delta, which allowed for easy access to both the sea and the interior of the country.
- The rulers of Dai Co Viet were known as the Ngo dynasty, and were succeeded by the Dinh and Le dynasties in the 10th and 11th centuries, respectively.
- Dai Co Viet was known for its strong military, which allowed it to defeat invading armies from China and other neighboring kingdoms.
- The kingdom was also known for its cultural achievements, including literature, architecture, and sculpture. Notable works from this period include the poetry of Li Ho and the Bich Dong Pagoda.
- Dai Co Viet was a Confucian state, with Confucianism becoming the dominant ideology and shaping many aspects of Vietnamese society and politics.
- The kingdom's decline began in the late 11th century, due to a combination of factors including political instability, economic pressures, and invasions from neighboring kingdoms.
The legacy of Dai Co Viet can still be seen in modern-day Vietnam, particularly in the country's cultural traditions and political institutions. The kingdom's emphasis on military strength and Confucian values helped to shape the identity of Vietnam as a nation, and its cultural achievements continue to inspire admiration and pride among the Vietnamese people.
11th-19th century:
- Dai Co Viet became known as the Ly dynasty in the 11th century, and later the Tran and Le dynasties.
- Vietnam experienced periods of occupation by neighboring kingdoms, including the Mongol Empire and the Ming Dynasty of China.
- In the 17th century, the Nguyen dynasty was established in the southern part of Vietnam, with its capital at Hue.
The Nguyen dynasty was the last ruling dynasty of Vietnam, which lasted from 1802 to 1945. The dynasty was founded by Emperor Gia Long and was known for its political and cultural achievements, as well as its conflicts with colonial powers.
- The Nguyen dynasty was founded in 1802, after Emperor Gia Long defeated the rival Tay Son rebels and united Vietnam under his rule.
- The dynasty was named after the Nguyen family, which had been a prominent political force in southern Vietnam for several centuries.
- The Nguyen dynasty was known for its political and administrative reforms, including the establishment of a centralized bureaucracy and the adoption of civil service exams for government officials.
- The dynasty also oversaw significant cultural achievements, including the construction of palaces, temples, and other architectural landmarks. Notable examples include the Imperial City in Hue and the Thien Mu Pagoda.
- The Nguyen dynasty faced several challenges during its rule, including conflicts with neighboring countries and colonial powers. Vietnam was occupied by France in the late 19th century, and the Nguyen dynasty became a French protectorate in 1884.
- The dynasty also faced internal challenges, including rebellions and uprisings by various groups, including the Black Flag army and the Boxers.
- The Nguyen dynasty came to an end in 1945, when Emperor Bao Dai abdicated the throne in favor of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, which was led by Ho Chi Minh.
The legacy of the Nguyen dynasty can still be seen in modern-day Vietnam, particularly in the country's cultural traditions and architecture. The dynasty's achievements in politics, administration, and culture continue to inspire admiration and pride among the Vietnamese people, and its conflicts with colonial powers are remembered as an important part of Vietnam's history and national identity.
- Vietnam became a French colony in the late 19th century, with French influence extending throughout society and politics.
20th century:
- Vietnam declared independence from France in 1945, with Ho Chi Minh becoming the country's first president. However, France continued to exert control over the country until its defeat in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954.
- Vietnam was divided into North and South Vietnam, with the communist North led by Ho Chi Minh and the South supported by the United States.
- The Vietnam War, a conflict between North and South Vietnam, lasted from 1955 to 1975 and resulted in the deaths of millions of Vietnamese people.
- In 1976, North and South Vietnam were reunified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, with Hanoi as its capital.
21st century:
- Since the end of the Vietnam War, Vietnam has experienced significant economic growth and development, with the country's economy becoming one of the fastest-growing in Southeast Asia.
- Vietnam has also become an increasingly important player in international politics and diplomacy, with the country hosting a number of high-profile events and conferences.
- However, Vietnam has faced criticism for its human rights record and limitations on political freedom and press freedom.
This timeline provides a brief overview of the history of Vietnam, but there are many more details and complexities to this story. Vietnam's rich cultural heritage and diverse political history have made it a fascinating and complex place, with a unique identity that continues to evolve and develop.

[".... American policy makers did not realize just how little they really knew about Vietnam— including that there was much more to know.
As a result, American policymakers failed to grasp, because they did not seek to discover, the historical enmity between China and Vietnam and thus to recognize that there were significant differences between Communists in China and Vietnam and the fact that Hồ Chí Minh, though a Communist, behaved primarily as a Vietnamese nationalist. They did not know the Vietnamese adage that the shape of Vietnam's coastline reflects a spine bent under the weight of China, its great neighbor to the north, with which it had fought more than a dozen wars dating back to 39 C.E. They did not know that, as a result, the Vietnamese developed an unyielding determination to resist foreign occupation at all costs, usually adopting guerilla warfare to wear down more powerful armies through hit-and-run attacks, avoiding major engagements whenever possible, and using their knowledge of local terrain to establish weapons caches and inaccessible hideouts. They did not know about the Battle of Bach Dang in 938 C.E.— as famous in Vietnamese history as the 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord are in American history— in which Vietnamese guerilla fighters dealt a fatal blow to superior Chinese troops through the tactic of feint and strike. They did not know about the Lake of the Restored Sword in the heart of Hanoi, based on the legend that when the Ming dynasty ruled Vietnam, a fisherman named Lê Lợi found in his net a magical sword that empowered him to lead his people in a ten-year struggle that drove the Chinese out in 1428 C.E. and when Lê Lợi offered gratitude to the spirit in the lake, a giant golden tortoise snatched the sword and restored it to the depths. They did not know that when faced with the threat of French domination at the end of the nineteenth century, the Vietnamese had set aside their ancient suspicion of Chinese domination and pleaded with Beijing to come to their aid. American policymakers were conditioned so much that even if someone came to them with such information, they did not pay attention to it, or discarded it as irrelevant. The atmosphere of Cold War America did not encourage such attention or awareness, or the perceptions and distinctions that went with them, so government decision-makers in Washington— for not the last time— remained dangerously ignorant and therefore seriously underestimated ideological factors and seriously underestimated historical and nationalistic ones.
(...) Before making his first of what would prove to be many visits to South Vietnam in May 1962, McNamara received a briefing from Edward Lansdale in his capacity as deputy assistant for special operations to the secretary of defense. At the briefing, McNamara asked Lansdale to critique a list of factors he had drawn up to evaluate progress in the war against the Vietcong. All of them involved statistical measurement: number of enemy killed, number of weapons captured, number of operations launched, number of aircraft sorties flown, number of additional troops trained and equipped— the list covered many areas. Lansdale looked over the list and replied, "Your list is incomplete. You've left out the most important factor of all." "What is it?" asked McNamara. "Well, it's the human factor," Lansdale said. "You can put it down as the x factor"— without it, the list would be inevitably misleading. McNamara penciled an x on his graph paper and asked Lansdale what is consisted of. "What the people on the battlefield really feel; which side they want to see win and which side they're for at the moment. That's the only way you're ever going to have this war decided." "Tell me how to put it in," replied McNamara. "I don't think any Americans out there at the moment can report this to you," Lansdale answered. McNamara knitted his brow and began erasing the x."]
