April 5, 2007 - Young

07-04-04b

Stone sculpture in the garden, I noticed all of them are related to mothers-and-kids. The grass nearby just did their haircut, fresh and neat. Like the posture of this one, feel Spring in the air? Feel the enery of the young? I DO. @ Have a nice Thursday !

NOTE:
Today is another solar term: Qingming (清明) , the 5th term of the year. People here recently are busy sweeping the tombs of their ancestors. And as I know, people will eat a typical snack this season in the most places of eastern China, called “青团”(qing1 tuan2=>green dumlping),青=green(the color),团=dumpling. Here is the ones I had green dumplings these days. The main ingredient is the sticky rice powder, the color is from some vege or beans, natural. And inside it could be filled with the sweet red beans, or the meat with vege. When steam it, the smell is very nice. I like eat the green dumplings very much. Here I found some photo on Flickr about it. Here is the links.

March 21, 2007 - Spring singing

07-03-21

Another sculpture, ;-) No,not belong to that 3 guys. I forget her name, she was not a sculpture for public display on the streets. I caught it on a sculpture display/compete. I like her expression very much. hee hee…..Stored as private favourite for a long time. ;-)   Spring is coming, she is singing so joyful~~~

Today is another solar term of Spring: chun1 fen1(春分)(=vernal equinox) , which is a very special day for the day and the night will share the 24 hours equally. :D hee hee, the sun is exactly at the equator. I believe the weather will be warmer and warmer. Today we will go to a small village in the suburb where is the origina place of the “小笼包”(xiao3 long2 bao1)(=> steamed Buns). ;-) I will show you when I am back. See ya~~~~;-)

March 20, 2007 - Untitled

Right standing:   Hey, look!!! Brilliant!
Left squating:     Yes! yes!! Dont see I am shooting. shooting!!! oh, which angle is best??? 

An old photo taken last year, 2006-12-21, oh, so far!! The sculpture is juse beside that girl in the rain. Do you remember, I said there are 3 figures, And I promised you I would show you the left. So Sorry!! I really did want to show you them, and no good quality photos I took, So…I delayed my schedule. This one isnt good too, but I like the combination.

November 30, 2006 - Lifting

girl in the rain

Out of expectation, it was raining in the afternoon, heavy rain.  I was so worried about my homework for the DP Blog. With the umbrella, I still decided to walk around to find some atmosphere of rainy day.

Watery world again, even this bronze sculpture. Her posture, with a CAMERA in hands, let my brian cells at once think of some sentences from a poem in Chinese :抬望眼,仰天长啸,壮怀激烈。It was written by the ancient poet :岳飞 (yue4 fei1) who lived in Song Dynasty. Actually it is not very proper for a girl to express this kind of feeling. I am off the subject so far. :) But I like her lifting-head statue. (The meanning of that sentence: Lifting my eyes, Towards the sky I let out a battle cry; My blood is boiling.) 

This sculpture locates on Lu4 Jia1 Zui3 Plaza. There are 3 characters in this group which is called “Lao Wai visit Pu Dong”(lao3 wai4=foreigners). (And after the Theme Day post, I will show you the whole group figure. ) The sculpture was created by a young famous Chinese sculptor 王曜(wang2 yao4) who works in East China Normal University now.
