Woke up around 11pm. Today we don’t have lesson as we are going on a tour to HuBei Provincial Museum. We board the bus at 1.30 pm and reach the place at around 2pm. We attend a music concert once we reached there. The music instrument that they used were Bronze bell, stone chimes, drums, qin( plucked instrument), bamboo flute and panpipes. The sound produce by all this unique instruments creates a piece of soothing music. After the concert, we visited the museum (exhibition of Chu culture).
Chu was the name of a state and a clan. Chu Stat lasted for 800 years until it was conquered by Qin in 223BC. During the 800 years, the Chu created rich and profound culture. In the museum I saw the sword of Gou Jian, the king of Yue late spring and autumn period. There were many interesting things to see in the museum. At the other part of museum, I learnt about (records on jiuliandun). It was an ancient tomb complex, lies on a mound stretching from north to south between wudian town and xinglong town in Zaoyang. There were more than 7300 burial articles unearthed.
I took a lot pictures in the museum but some of them were not clear as flash light was not allowed. Some of the interesting articles were the wooden crossbow with hunting scene painted with lacquer and bronze square pot with dragon-shaped ears. At the other part of museum I saw the (tomb of marquis Yi of Zeng). The tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng is located at Leigudun in the suburbs of Sui country in Hubei , and was excavated in 1978. It was the tomb of a feudal King buried 2400 years ago.
The tour to the museum was really eye opening; I learnt more about the culture and history of china. After the tour, the bus brought us back to the apartment, and I had my dinner at the road side stalls. I ate fried egg with tomatoes and a plate of rice, it was a simple dish but taste delicious.
