About Me

My photo
One might think that the very young are quite different than older folks. I propose that we are all the same in one major way... We love a good story, and the best stories come from real life. History is full of tantalizing, sorrowful, tragic, and wonderful stories. Most exciting of all is the fact that we are all writing our own stories at this very moment. The choices we make will affect others' stories, and in no time at all, we become the stories that will be told in the future. I have had the opportunity to travel the tiniest bit, and each time I visit a new-to-me place in the world, I feel as though I have been changed. Touched by the people I meet and their stories, I can't wait to share those stories with my students, my colleagues, and my family. If any of the discoveries I make along the way are useful to you as well, all the better.

Relics


July 11, 2013

With a refresher course on the Silk Road behind us, a visit to the Shanxi History Museum came next on our itinerary.  There were amazing relics of the past on display.  They represented Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qin Dynasties.  Here are some examples:

Tri-Colored Male Horse Rider, Tang Dynasty 
Painted and Gold Traced Figure of Heavenly
God, Tang Dynasty  
Tri-Colored Figure of Tomb Guardian
