Share a great summer resort: Dunhuang Mogao Cave

The Mogao Caves located in Gansu province make up the most famous group of Buddhist grottoes in China. The caves, located 25 kilometers southeast from Dunhuang, are also known as the Caves of the Thousand Buddha and Dunhuang Caves and they consist of 492 decorated cave temples excavated into 1.6 kilometers of cliff face.

The Dunhuang Mogao Cave is also called Thousand-Buddha Cave. It is 1600 meters long from south to north and it totally has 5 floors. The caves were began to build at 366, after more than ten dynasties’ development, they become a series of caves which are very large and beautiful.

The Dunhuang Caves left us lots of important subjects about architecture. There are many ancient architecture samples showed on the frescos, which are the materials at first hand to do research on Chinese ancient architecture. According to the different dynasties, we can classify them into 5 different characters of caves.

Among the Dunhuang treasures, the frescos are the most important part. They contain a lot of information and show us the fantasy skill in the ancient China. Dunhuang flying is the most famous one in the Dunhuang frescos. As I know, the Indian culture, west region culture and Zhongyuan Culture contributes a lot to forming the Dunhuang Flying. Dunhuang flying is famous for its beautiful dress and figures of women, showing us the dream of ancient Chinese people to fly to the sky. To some extent, it is the card of Dunhuang Mogao Caves and the symbol of Dunhuang art.

There is one fresco called nine-color deer in Dunhuang. It told us a story that a nine-color deer jump into the rapid river to save a drowned people without thinking itself. But the drowned people betrayed the nine-color deer because of the behalf himself. The nine-color deer faced the music when besieged by the enemies; it criticized the ungratefulness of the drowned people and didn’t give up fighting against the evil. The story showed us the beauty of morality at that time.

The appearance of Bodhisattva is the most elegant and attractive subject among all the josses in Dunhuang Caves. We can see the charm of East Women from them. So the joss of it is called “Eastern Venus” and the portray is called “Eastern Holy Mother”.

Dunhuang Mogao Caves has been listed in World Heritage List in 1987 by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. As an Chinese art treasure, it is valuable in history and art.. There is no doubt that the Dunhuang Mogao Caves are the bright pearl in the treasure-house of human cultural heritage.

But seemingly heard some whispers, a mystery girl, one of the students, wrote down many ruleless numbers on the whole paper.

Time flies quickly. 50 years later, another group of students dig up and open the time capsule to see the pictures in it. On occasionally, the paper written by the mystery girl was given to a boy called Caleb Myles whose father is a famous scientist.

After seeing the odd "picture", Caleb’s father, Professor Ted Myles surprisingly found that the numbers on the paper showed exactly information about all the .disasters happened 50 years ago.

ORIGIN OF MOTHER’S DAY

In 1876, the whole America was in sad about the death of the Civil War. At that time, Anna Jarvis was a teacher who gave lecture of the Civil War. When she prayed, she said: I wish we can set a mother's day somewhere in the future, in order to memorize and praise all the mothers around the world.

Anna Jarvis died when she was 72 years old and her daughter Anna determined to found a mother’s day for her.

At the beginning, Anna wrote lots of letters to some famous people. She asked them to support her idea about the mother’s day, but no one backed up her.

Fortunately, on May 12th 1907, a church agreed to hold a meeting for the mothers. Out of anticipation, the meeting held successfully in Philadelphia. Some chiefs supported Anna’s idea and set Mother’s Day in their states.

Until 1914, Wilson, the president of America decided to make Mother’s Day a common holiday in America. From then on, more and more countries set Mother’s Day in their own country. The Mother’s Day became an international festival eventually.

The dates of Mother’s Day are different around the world, But most of the countries make the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day. The traditional gift for mothers is carnation.

X.O.X.O. GOSSIP GIRL──CHUCK BASS

"Because I am Chuck Bass."

If there is someone I like best in Gossip Girl. That must be Chuck Bass. The reason why I choose him is that he is Chuck Bass, nothing about his family, his appearance. The characteristic of Chuck Bass attract me a lot..

On most of people’s mind, Chuck is an absolutely playboy. Go to clubs every night and have sex with all the sexy girls. He looks like a childish boy, who cannot help getting rid of decadent. I have no intent to fight against these words. What I need to emphasize is other beautiful characteristics of Chuck Bass.

I hope you won’t forget Chuck’s best friend Nate. When Nate was being deceived by a bad guy, Chuck helped him deal with that problem; When Nate’s father committed a crime, Chuck exerted all his strength to encourage and take care of Nate. Chuck treasured a lot his friendship through his unique way.

In my point of view, Chuck is a kindhearted boy. He didn’t believe the love of his dad, but he still does all he can, hoping get admitting from his father. But unfortunately, he didn’t. He learned to hide his heart. Whatever he did, even it is out of good intentions, others also feel a little cold from him.

Chuck Bass, a contradictory individual, a lonely boy. You don’t need to care too much about others’ point, because you are Chuck Bass.
