Some good places about of china(1)

Sichuang

When people talk about Chinese snacks, they must think about Beijing has some famous snack, but all of Chinese know Sichaung, where the food is very very hot, has so many traditional snacks which are very different from what you know! If you are interested in some food you can ask them how to make it.




Wuhan


In my city, Wuhan, you can try the hot dry noodle that is a traditional snack, which is popular in Wuhan. Ihas a long history, nearly 300 years old. People eat it as breakfast, so a lot of these shops are closed at 11 o'clock. What is it different with other noodle? That is hot dry noodle does not have soup. At first, we use hot water to cook the noodle, which use special material, when it becomes yellow we pull it out from the water. Secondly, we put sesame paste, pepper, salt, gourmet powder, soy and vinegar in it, if you like chilli, you can put some chilli sauce. How to distinguish between good and bad? The point is sesame paste. Finally, we should mix all of these things as soon as possible, because the sesame paste let the noodle become dry very quickly.


Yunnan


In China, as you know, there are many different nationalities, so Yunnan is a good choice to feel the minority’s culture. You can learn from their daily life and attend a wedding, at the same time, you can wear the traditional clothes. There are some rules in the wedding, such as the groom should carry the bride on his back, because the bride's feet can't touch ground. If they do that, they will unlucky.

This is a story about the love between father and son......

There is a boat on the ocean, a hesitant father and his disable son set on the boat, and look at the ocean helpless. He drags his son, and jump in the sea......This father is 47 old, the actor is Jack Li,

In this moment, the father is diagnose has cancer which is later period, so his lift just has a few of mouths. How to arrange his son? It's the most important problem. He even thinks they die together, so they go to the ocean.











After a twists and turns, the father find a organization, which can take his son in, but the son doesn't like there. The father works in aquarium, his son likes sea very much, so he go to the aquarium together with his father, swimming in the pool, this is his most happy-time.






For his son has a good life, the father thinks the aquarium is the best place for his son, so he prepare a plan that is he teaches his son how to work in aquarium, how to catch bus to go to aquarium.






At last, he knows he will die, so he plays a turtle, swimming in the pool and tell his son:"your father is a turtle! I will accompany with you forever "
At the end of this story, the son can catch bus and work in aquarium, he swim with a turtle and call it "Dad".......
Someone ask the father, why you choose turtle, he just said:"Turtle can live long time, my son doesn't feel lonely.

I like this story, it let me heart-warming, there is a sentence in China "Father's love likes the mountain", now, I can understand!

Sidney Nolan


Sidney Nolan (22 April 1917 – 28 November 1992) is one of Australia's best-known painters and print makers. He was born in Carlton, a suburb of Melbourne, the eldest of four children.In 1917--1931, Nolan attended the Brighton Road State School and then Brighton Technical School . When he was 14, he enrolled at the Prahran Technical College for Department of Design and Crafts. At the same time, he attended night classes sporadically at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School.
Nolan was a traveler, he travelled around the world and went to
many countries. He married three times, his first wife Elizabeth, but his marriage soon broke up; and then he married his friend's sister; In 1978, he married Mary Boyd, a member of the Boyd artistic family.
Nolan usually used oil and enamel paint on composition boa
rd. His most famous work is a series of the brush ranger Ned Kelly who was his idol. Nolan’s ‘Ned Kelly’ series follows the main order of the Kelly story, his development of the Kelly image as a symbol for Australian history, identity and character.
Kelly and armour 1962
Kelly (1955)
The Trial (1947)

In my opinion, Nolan is a great artist because he used a spacial person as the original model to create a series works of art. He usually used warm color, it has a really Australian feeling. All of his works are colorful, and his Kelly hasn't features on the face, just a square.

My idol---Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel was born on 19 August 1883, she was a pioneering French fashion designer and an important figure in 20th--century fashion. She was the founder of the famous fashion brand Chanel. Her extraordinary influence on fashion was such that she was the only person in the fashion field to be named on Time 100:The Most Important People of Century.

At first, Chanel was a hat designer, in that time, many French women liked to wear hat. She created a v


ery special style, although they were not gorgeous, they were still dignified. She created Chanel because the princess said " where did you buy your hat?" Chanel said "Chanel,in Paris" but that time, she didn't have own shop.



In 1921, Chanel invented the Chanel No.5 perfume,the straight bottle was very different design with other bottle. "Five" is said to be the lucky number of Coco, and this number was named the perfume because it is the fifth attempt.





Chanel suit launched in 1923, and the classic Little Black Dresses (LBD) was also very popular, it designed by fashion and comfortable. I think that is the Chanel's typical style. Simple and elegant design, versatile use for day and night, the main colour were black and white.




I think, Chanel is a clever woman, she can catch every opportunity. After the World War 2, when other designers still used expensive fabrics, Chanel think, it wasn't the time which people have much money to buy clothes, so she used the cheapest and comfortable fabrics, such as cotton and wool, to make clothes, her brand was became famous in that time.
Maybe some people think her personal life isn't good, because she had many men in her life. But I think, in the war time, a poor person want to entry into fashion is a difficult thing, she grew up in orphanage, but she want to give her sister a good life. she should like them who were together. She never married, because she thinks everyone can become some one's "wife", but there is only Chanel.

She is my idol, because she know how to create fashion, what is fashion. Using the sentence said by Chanel herself "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
