    "Teacher Yang is really professional, ancient coins, tiles, very thorough. I discussed the orthodoxy of the three countries with the teacher and had a little disagreement. After talking too much, the teacher explained overtime and talked for more than 4 hours. It was great! In Shaanxi Libo, you must find a professional teacher to explain, otherwise send you a sentence "no come to Shaanxi Libo, equal to no come to Xi'an; no professional explanation, equal to no come to Shaanxi Libo"."

    "Although only the tiles were displayed, it opened my different insights into calligraphy and made me re-understand the historical significance of inscriptions. Part of the study of history is a simple book, part of the books written by previous people, and part of the inscriptions. In addition to inscriptions on low, they can be inscribed anywhere, on the clock, on the stone statue. Inscriptions have studied different meanings in different places. The reason for being listed as a national cultural relics is that the text on the inscription confirms the historical facts, which is historical evidence. We went to see the inscription alone. We didn't know anything. We saw it, but with the explanation, we could really achieve meaningful gains. On the fourth day of my trip to Xi'an, there were not many interpreters and there were not many. The things explained were indeed uneven. Some of the presenters spoke very quickly and very little, as if to deal with the task. Some interpreters are really good, I am very willing to talk more about it, I really like this experience, this time I chose the scenic boutique speech, I recommend everyone to choose him, this time for an hour, but told us an hour and a half. Everyone should also pay attention to the narrator on the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. It makes me experience very bad. I feel that I am a salesman. If I talk about a little history, I will talk about some Lantianyu selling goods and some performances selling tickets! It seems that I spend money to listen to advertisements. The more famous attractions, the more serious the slaughter phenomenon! Since it is an explanation service, you should talk about things related to the attractions. Don't talk about these, the narrator of the inscription museum is really good, everyone who comes to a place to encounter an unpleasant thing, don't be partial, there is still a good"

    "Gansu Provincial Museum, my Lanzhou University classroom notes ✍ [Coffee] [Happy] Thank you very much for the holiday time in Lanzhou for some time. Traveling to Lanzhou did not catch up with the rush of tourism. Gansu Provincial Museum, according to the custom of locals, is referred to as Provincial Bo. Take the traffic rail subway line 1, exit C and walk for one kilometer. The building in Provincial Bo is quite satisfactory, solemn, and a flag on the top is flying in the wind. Today, the traffic of the provincial Bo is very large, mainly the research and research activities held in waves after waves, or the flag reminded me, the day after tomorrow is the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. The exhibition hall has a red theme series, today is Saturday, and some local schools also organize students to enter the hall to receive patriotic education. The red exhibition hall of Provincial Bo, with distinctive themes, character events, with photo texts like murals spread over the wall, and the creation of microscopic scenes and character image sculptures, with flat three-dimensional contrasting ideas, scattered with layered stories telling China's war stories and revolutionary deeds. In the communist faith that our party has been dedicated for a hundred years, how did the revolutionary martyrs fight in the face of hardship and resistance to foreign aggression and the liberation of the Chinese nation, and fight in the blood, throw their heads and sprinkle blood, and look at death as home. It makes sense to educate students in New China and grow up under the banner of red. Yes, our years are quiet now, and our ancestors are carrying weight for us, and we can sing and cry. Please rest assured that our seniors are not humiliating in their mission, and do their best to carry the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into our national feelings. Worry and worry first, and joy in the world later. Every day, I pray that the country and the people are safe, the world is forever and enjoy peace. Establish the pride and ownership of the people with institutional self-confidence, national self-confidence, cultural self-confidence, and theoretical self-confidence. The cultural relics exhibition hall on the second floor, no need to ask, the most can not be squeezed to go, it must be the bronzeware created in the East Han Dynasty, the horse treads the swallow, the size is not big, the shape is full, the horse is running temperament, the nostrils and the horse mouth expand to the extreme, like a Hedong lion roar, tigers roar and dragon yin domineering. Next to him, a visiting scholar pointed to the artifact to his friends, which was an aesthetic creation combining romanticism and realism. It made me rise. Ma Tafeiyan, the cultural relics of the East Han Dynasty, has never changed his vigorous posture in the long river polishing of more than 4,000 years of history. Such a free sky and horse, radiant, always maintain a vigorous vitality, he is not a simple burial product, It is a device that a master official and nobleman loved in his life during the Eastern Han Dynasty. After death, the deceased is also like sufu, who is not willing to sleep underground day and night, and is dependent on life and death, looking forward to the relocation and reincarnation of the road. The cultural relics are the tutors who tell historical stories and conduct archaeological research."
