This is a lavish banquette and the happiness is truly infectious. Looking at your bound-foot shaped zongzi makes me just hungry! Surprisingly, there're so many stories around the Duanwu festival. Whereas the legend of the Whitesnack-lady has been always romantic, the roaming ghosts in the court are pretty scarry! Above all, the soul of the patriot and pioneer poet Qu Yuan must be resting in great satisfaction, as he's been adored so loyally by all people cross the country.
Your historical knowledge is amazing. The Chinese General is Yue Fei.

By the way, Chinese dragon is different from western dragon. The Chinese dragon has no wings but can fly. The Chinese dragon is luck/good animal while the western dragon is an evil in westerners' eyes. Also Han Chinese also call them the offspring of the dragon(long).
beautiful photos These photos are so beautiful !you really did a good job. Keep on taking the moment of daily life ,my friend. I look forward to your new and wonderful pictures!
Yes, in the 113th entry, many pictures appeared days ago, were replaced by pitchblack boxes, fortunately, still with comments.
Generally, many people today are still deeply rooted in their own culture, like myself, never got bored by watching The Monkey King, The Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Cabin etc.
Ich Konnte mein Lachen nicht halten, wenn ich das lezte Build sah: alle von uns haben irgendwann in der Vergangenheit wild gemacht! June
Many beautiful sceneries in parks and public places were created in the past decade. Locals are very satisfied while walking and induldging in the natural beauty, but, the elderly generation will never forget the old town of a grey and dull face! June
Spring flowers are now blooming everywhere and beautiful. China has a saying "No place where fragrant grass doesn't exist even to the end of the world," but the blossoms in your photos are just very special, to which I'm so deeply attached. The flamboyant colours brought the fresh scent to my very nose. and stirred up lots feelings! Thank you so much for such hard effort to bring others this kind of everlasting joy!
The white limewash painted on the trunks was to protect the trees from pests and insects (Schaedlinger), it's said. And the Bright Festival belongs to one of the 24 solar terms, according to the agricultural tradition in the far east. June
beautiful spring The photos are like a lovely walk through Taizhou, without the sneezing! Thanks for showing the beauty of the city. Hope you are well and received my email.
Hey. I am so happy to hear you are doing well and happy still in China. Those minor set backs are minor but at least you have the experience of actually being there.
It IS a shame how the economy and jobs went down the drain. I hope it gets better soon...
lol Beautiful pics! I think you must have a great sping here in China!
As summer is around the corner, I am hoping you can keep on digging the beauty out and enjoying yourself.
Also, the experiences you gained in your travels are precious and will never be forgotten in your lifetime. :-)
Spring memories! Hi Hans, good to see you squeeze a few moments away from your demanding schedule to keep us informed of your goings on in Taizhou. I do miss the beauty of Spring in China, but not the cold weather! Moved Mum down the Gold Coast this week, finished my course and survived baby-sitting my friends 2 donkeys! Not bad for 5 or 6 day achievement! Ha! Suexx
After 38 years as a Foreign Language Teacher and Foreign Language Dept. Chair at Coral Gables Sr. H.S., and A.J. Professor of German at the University of Miami, I have left Florida in June of 2006, where my home is in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. I have just signed another year's teaching-contract (my 8th year now) with Taizhou University in the city of Taizhou, located about 3hrs north of Shanghai, in Jiangsu Province, CHINA.
I thought it would be informative for others and rewarding for me personally, to log the progress of my efforts from beginning to end, as a Travel and Photo Jo... full info
