Re: The Northern Qi Or Wei Period

how much it cost? the cost of that painting is insignificant to the cost of your air ticket, hotels and daily expenses for a trip to beijing.

so if you want the painting, fly to beijing to get it. Really how much can the painting cost, if they sell on a street vendors expose to the elements in a third world country.

Re: The Northern Qi Or Wei Period

Was it one dynasty earlier than the Tang Dynasty ? But, it was at its peak during the Tang period. It was said that during the Qin period ... not too sure about tis.

Southern and Northern Dynasties 420 AD to 589 AD
Sui Dynasty 589 AD–618 AD
Tang Dynasty 618 AD – 907 AD

It is two dynasty before tang dynasty.

Homeowners Luo Baogen and his wife refused to allow the government to demolish their home in Wenling, Zhejiang province, China, claiming the relocation compensation offered would not be enough to cover the cost of rebuilding. The neighboring homes were dismantled, and, bizarrely, the road was built around the intact home, leaving it as an island in a river of new asphalt. Their house is the only building left standing on a road which is paved through their village. Maybe Luo Baogen can start a Drive Through restaurant?

A partially demolished "nail house", the last house in the area, at a construction site in Hefei, Anhui province, on February 2, 2010. The owner of the house attempted to seek more compensation before agreeing to the demolition of their house, local media reported.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics venue for the beach volleyball competition lies deserted and unmaintained in central Beijing, on April 2, 2012. While the gigantic structures built for the Beijing Olympics, such as the "Bird's Nest", and the "Water Cube", are now used for cultural and sports events, some other Beijing Olympic venues, such as the rowing and kayaking center, baseball arena and BMX track, have been left either deserted or been completely demolished.

An emblem decorates the pavement next to a fountain inside a building designed to look like a Roman Colosseum, at Florentia Village in the district of Wuqing, located on the outskirts of the city of Tianjin, on June 13, 2012. The shopping center, which covers an area of some 200,000 square meters, was constructed on a former corn field at an estimated cost of US$220 million and copies old Italian-style architecture with Florentine arcades, a grand canal, bridges, and a Colosseum-like building.

Re: The Northern Qi Or Wei Period

Bro,so sorry to tell you the Hard Truth
中国共产党
弟兄姊妹，请大家想一想，在人类中哪一个国家、哪一个民族最符合神末世作工的条件呢？答案是：唯有中国最符合神末世作工的条件。为什么这样说呢？因为在全 宇之下唯有中国人最败坏、最落后，抵挡神最严重，中国人信神的时间最短，就会磕头烧香、烧纸拜佛、拜偶像；中国人没有人权、出生低贱、人格低下、邪恶淫 乱、麻木痴呆、庸俗腐朽，撒但的性情沾满了全身，是整个败坏人类的典型代表；中国人的思想保守，生活习惯、社会环境都是最落后的；在中国拜偶像行邪术的最 多，庙宇最多，简直就是污鬼群居之地，中国也是众所周知的最黑暗、最不承认有神的无神论国家，是洒满圣徒鲜血的大红龙盘卧之地。在清朝末期就有成千上万的 西方传教士在中国殉道，又有无数的传教士在中国受尽各样的屈辱痛苦，被驱赶出境，他们的教堂被查封、被拆毁、被焚烧。特别是近五十年来，无数的弟兄姊妹因 信神而被政府杀害，导致成千上万个家庭妻离子散、家破人亡。而且政府在大力宣传无神论的同时，表面上宣扬所谓的信仰自由，而在暗地里却又残酷地迫害基督 徒，企图将信神之人赶尽杀绝。过去，曾有无数的圣徒为了福音扩展在中国殉道，今天仍有许多的弟兄姊妹落在政府的魔掌中，正在经受着惨无人道、灭绝人性的摧 残。弟兄姊妹，这大量的事实充分证明，中国是世界上最黑暗、最败坏，也是抵挡神最严重的国家。所以，神在中国作征服、审判的工作最有代表意义，神在中国作 征服的工作最能衬托出神的全能智慧，最能使撒但彻底蒙羞失败。弟兄姊妹，神在中国作工得着的见证是最响亮的，神在中国作工得着的荣耀也是最大的；被撒但败 坏最深的人都被神征服了，全宇之下其他败坏浅的地方的人就不在话下了。所以，神是根据征服工作的需要选择了中国，神以中国作为末世征服工作的第一站，是有 代表性的，也是最有意义的。神在中国的征服工作成功了，就等于神在全宇的征服工作成功了。现在，你知道神选择在中国作末世征服工作的意义了吗？为了使大家 更好地明白这方面的真理，我再为大家读一段全能神的话语。全能神说：“最黑暗的地方的人已经征服了，其 余的地方就更不用说了，所以只有中国的征服工作具有代表性意义。中国代表所有的黑暗势力，中国的人代表所有属肉体、属撒但、属血气的人。中国的人被大红龙 败坏得最厉害，抵挡神最严重，人性最低贱、最污秽，所以是整个败坏人类的典型代表……就人的败坏、污秽、不义、抵挡、悖逆这些东西在中国人身上表现最全 面，各种各样都显露出来。一方面素质差，再一方面生活落后、思想落后，生活习惯、社会环境、出生家庭都差，都是最落后的，这些人的地位也低下，在这地方作 工有代表性，试点工作作全面了，以后再开展工作好作多了，这步工作作成了，以后的工作也不在话下，这步工作成了，大功彻底告成了，整个宇宙征服的工作也就 彻底结束了。其实，在你们这些人中间的工作成功了，就等于全宇的工作成功了，为什么让你们做模型、标本，意义就在此。在这些人身上要悖逆有悖逆，要抵挡有 抵挡，要污秽有污秽，要不义有不义，所有人类的悖逆都给代替了，这些人实在不简单，所以将这些人作为征服的典范，当然征服之后就是标本、模型了。”亲爱的弟兄姊妹，全能神的话语使我们明白了，末世神在中国所作的征服工作，是一个试点的工作，试点的工作作全面了，以后再开展工作就好作多了。神在中国的工作成功了，就等于神在全宇的工作成功了。从中让我们看见神选择在中国作征服、审判的工作，实在是太有意义了。

Re: Girl Swee Chio

A Chinese artist spent nearly a year travelling around the country in a mobile studio in order to photograph thousands of ordinary people, and post them on a social network.

Visiting 35 cities in 25 provinces, photographer Maleonn took 1,600 portraits of people dressed in outrageous fancy dress, surrounded by strange props of all shapes and sizes, before posting the snaps on the Chinese version of Twitter.



Shanghai-based Maleonn spent seven months preparing for the ten-month project, including painting the sets and backgrounds, preparing costumes, producing the props, purchasing a truck and arranging location.

The images were posted on his Weibo account - China's own Twitter - and he was overwhelmed by the response.

The project became so popular that he had to establish a set of guidelines, such as a minimum of eight people per city, who would provide him and his team with food, somewhere to stay and space to work.

The idea of the mobile studio came after the artist lost his Shanghai studio, growing weary with the arts scene in the city.

‘I became tired of contemporary art, the system, dealing with critics and curators behind closed doors. I wanted to do something with ordinary people,’ Maleonn says.

Having completed his travels around China, Maleonn spoke of the possibility of taking the mobile studio project to Britain, adding: ‘I have friends in Swansea.’
