National Museum China

Dear Friends
it was the desire to have a better understanding of the roots of the Chinese culture that attract me in the National Museum of China  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_China in Beijing. Obviously in an hour and few more of presence it was not possible to embrace everything. I decided to devote myself to the ancient China and my effort was repaid, see the images, by a diving through masterpieces of every art, place and period letting in me the image of a country in advance with respect to corresponding other countries. Any comment from your side is welcomed.

Allowed / Forbidden City

Dear Friends
it is obligatory in Beijing to have a vision of the Forbidden City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_City and try to absorb what it will to communicate. Far from being a sumptuous, golden residence it betray a calm and sober elegance, see the images, typical expression, I think, of the Chinese soul.

Temple of Heaven - Beijing

Dear Friends
a successful experiment of harmony and geometry, this could be the immediate definition I would like to apply to the Temple of Heaven https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Heaven in Beijing. But this definition is too simple and reveals only the suggestion evocated by its gardens, stones and architectures. The imagination certainly help to complete the definition by generating the corresponding scenes of the sumptuous, complicated and symbolic ceremonies at the presence of the emperor. But still the substance of the Buddhist religion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Buddhism would be missed if not reflected by the numerous enchanted Buddhists I saw.
