1.it is saying how her soul has selected a single person to love and spend her life with. 2.She is shutting a figurative door. The door represents her affection, and she is keeping her love from the 'divine' majority. By using divine, it shows she shows no affection not only from humans, but also for Gods or religious beings, when compared to this one thing that she loves. 3.Even when chariots, which is a symbol of courtship, are showing up in front of this door, she denies these suitors entrance to her door or heart. Even when the emperor himself kneels before her door, she is unmoved, showing her dedication to this single figure.

神话起源介绍英文作文

神话起源介绍英文作文In the beginning, there was chaos. Out of this chaos emerged the first gods and goddesses, powerful beings who shaped the world with their divine powers.Some say that the world was created by a great cosmic egg, which cracked open to reveal the earth, the sky, andall living things. Others believe that the gods fashioned the world out of the body of a giant primordial being,using its bones to form the mountains, its blood to create the seas, and its breath to give life to the first humans.The gods and goddesses themselves were not perfect beings. They were often capricious and prone to jealousyand anger, which led to many epic battles and conflicts among them. These clashes shaped the landscape of the world, creating mountains, rivers, and valleys as the gods fought for supremacy.One of the most famous myths tells the story of how thesun and the moon came to be. It is said that the sun was a great warrior who was banished to the sky for his arrogance, while the moon was a gentle goddess who was placed there to keep him company. Every day, the sun chases the moon across the sky, but she always manages to stay just out of his reach.Another popular myth explains the changing of the seasons. It is said that the goddess of the harvest fell in love with a mortal man, but when he died, she was so grief-stricken that the crops stopped growing. Her mother, the earth goddess, was able to bring him back to life for half the year, and during that time, the crops flourished. But when he returned to the underworld, the earth grew cold and barren once more.These myths and many others have been passed down through generations, shaping the beliefs and traditions of cultures around the world. They continue to inspire storytellers, artists, and scholars, keeping the ancient tales alive in the modern world.。

历史上7大未解之谜之：纳兹卡图案著名的纳兹卡图案发现于秘鲁利马以南200英里的沙漠中，其中一个清晰的图案大约长37英里，宽1英里，这些于上世纪30年代发现的奇特巨型图案令科学家们无法解释。

这些图案的线条非常笔直，一些线条彼此平行，更令科学家们吃惊的是，这些图案从空中观看时非常像远古飞行跑道，埃利希·冯·丹尼肯(Erich von Daniken)在自己的书中《上帝的战车》(Chariots of theGods)暗示这些图案很可能是外星人的飞行器跑道。

历史上7大未解之谜之：亚特兰蒂斯目前有许多关于亚特兰蒂斯具体位置的理论和说法，在希腊哲学家柏拉图的描述中亚特兰蒂斯是一个美丽、技术先进的岛屿，其历史可追溯至公元前370年。

但是在柏拉图对于亚特兰蒂斯的具体位置描述得十分模糊。

许多人认为亚特兰蒂斯并未真实存在过。

而相信它存在的人们一直努力在全球范围内进行搜寻。

埃德加·凯西(EdgarCayce)的一则著名预言称，亚特兰蒂斯位于百慕大群岛(北大西洋西部群岛)附近，1969年，几何石质建筑发现于比米尼岛，一些人认为这验证了凯西的预言。

历史上7大未解之谜之：不祥的玛雅预言古代玛雅人的预言充满了神秘色彩，许多人对这些预言相信，并对预言中未来要发生的灾难感到恐惧。

中国传统文化英语翻译

1.香囊(scented sachet)，古代也称“香袋”，通常是用布缝制或彩色丝线编织的袋子，里面塞满香草(aromatic herbs)。

香囊最初用来吸汗、驱虫和避邪。

香囊不仅有用，而且可作装饰品。

它们的形状和大小各异，有圆形、椭圆形和其他形状。

它们通常配有精致的图案，每个图案都象征着特别的含义。

例如，双鱼或成对蝴蝶图案象征男女之爱;莲花或牡丹花(peony flower)等图案象征女性;松树和仙鹤图案象征长寿;石榴(guava)图案象征很多孩子。

漂亮的香囊不仅是装饰品，而且含有丰富的文化和历史内涵。

翻译：Scented sachets, also called “fragrant bags” in ancient times, are bags usually sewed with cloth or weaved with multicolor silk threads and stuffed with aromatic herbs. The fragrant bags were originally used for absorbing sweat, repelling insects and warding off evils. Scented sachets are not only useful, but also ornamental. They come in different shapes and sizes, such as round, oval and many others. And they are normally decorated with elaborate patterns, with each pattern symbolizing a special meaning.For instance,a double-fish or double-butterfly pattern smybolizes the love between a man and a woman;patterns like lotus or peony flowers symbolize women;pine and crane patterns symbolize longevity and a guava pattern is the symbol of lots of children.A nice scented sachet is not just an ornament,but more of something that contains cultural and historical richness.2.中国民间艺术与中国哲学统一于“阴阳(yin-yang)生万物”这一理念。

关于陕西省茂陵博物馆的英文作文

关于陕西省茂陵博物馆的英文作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Awesome Maoling MuseumLast summer, my family took a trip to the Maoling Mausoleum Museum in Shaanxi Province. It was one of the coolest places I've ever been! Maoling is an amazing underground museum that has the tombs of emperors from a long time ago.We drove for a couple hours from the city of Xi'an to get to Maoling. When we first got there, it just looked like a big grassy hill in the countryside. But underground, there are huge tombs and tunnels and rooms carved out of the solid rock! It's like an entire city underground.The first part we went into was the "Offering Shrines". This is where they used to make sacrifices and burn offerings for the souls of the dead emperors. There are rooms lined with big stone carvings of horses, guards, officials and servants. It's meant to look like the emperor's palace, but everything is made of stone inside the tomb!Next we went into the "Spirit Path", which is a really long underground passage almost a mile long! The path is lined with huge stone statues of warriors, horses, camels, officials and sacred animals like dragons, unicorns and phoenix birds. I've never seen so many huge stone carvings in my life. Our guide said there are over 3,000 statues lining the Spirit Path!At the end of the Spirit Path, we finally made it to the emperor's tomb chambers. They are absolutely enormous caverns carved from the rock, with high ceilings held up by huge pillars. The main tomb chamber for Emperor Wudi is the size of a football field! It's mindblowing that ancient people could carve such huge underground spaces over 1,700 years ago.Inside the tomb chambers, there are stone carvings everywhere on the walls - pictures of door gods, constellations, flowers and mythical beasts. Some of the carvings are super intricate and detailed. Our guide said it took hundreds of skilled craftsmen many years to carve out the tombs and decorate them.But the coolest part in my opinion were all the underground palaces and living quarters adjoining the tombs! There are whole neighborhoods of rooms underground, with areas for the emperor's wives, concubines, guards, servants and officials. Onesection has horse stables and big rooms that were used as kitchens and living spaces.It's crazy to think that everything was constructed hundreds of feet below the surface with just basic tools like chisels and hammers. They didn't even have electric lights - they had to do it all by torchlight! I can't even imagine how hard that must have been.At one point, we got to go through a very narrow and low tunnel that felt like we were tomb raiders sneaking into a secret part of the tombs. It was dark and cramped but so exciting! That tunnel led us into an area with replicas of the amazing treasures and artifacts that have been excavated from Maoling over the decades.There were lifesize terracotta horses, chariots, golden masks and crowns, jewel-encrusted swords, jade carvings and all kinds of pottery and ancient coins. It was like a treasure trove of super old and valuable things. Our guide let us try on some replica jewelry and costumes too which was really fun. I felt like a little emperor or empress for a day!After the exhibit halls, we went outside to the area on top of the underground tombs. It's just a big grassy mound, but you can see where the entrance shaft goes straight down into theearth. They've built a modern museum building there too with more exhibits about the Maoling tombs.In the museum, I saw displays about how scientists and archaeologists carefully excavate and study the tombsinch-by-inch. There were examples of the different tools they use and some really old skeletons and burial objects they've discovered. It was interesting but also a little creepy if I'm being honest!My favorite part was seeing the full-size reconstruction of one of the tomb chambers. It had the huge stone pillars, the carved walls with flowers and animals, and lifesize pottery figures positioned just like the originals far below the ground. It gave me chills thinking about the ancient people who built such an amazing place over 1,700 years ago!Overall, the Maoling Mausoleum Museum was the best place I visited on our trip to Shaanxi. It had everything - cool underground tunnels, awesome stone carvings, buried treasures, and a look into how people lived and were buried way back in ancient China. If you ever get a chance to go to Maoling, you have to check it out! Just be sure to bring a jacket because it gets pretty chilly underground in those huge tomb chambers. But it'sso worth braving the chill to see such an incredible remnant of China's ancient history.篇2My Trip to the Maoling Mausoleum MuseumLast month, my family and I went on a very special trip to the Maoling Mausoleum Museum in Shaanxi Province. It's a really cool museum that has lots of ancient treasures and historical sites. I was so excited to go and learn all about the history of China's old emperors and empresses!The Maoling Mausoleum Museum is located in Xi'an, which is the capital city of Shaanxi Province. Xi'an is a really old city with a rich history dating back over 3,000 years! It used to be the capital of ancient China during the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties. Can you imagine how many incredible rulers and events happened in Xi'an over all those centuries?We started our visit at the main exhibition hall of the museum. There were so many amazing artifacts and relics on display, like pottery, jade carvings, bronze wares, and even some old coins. My favorite part was seeing the colorful murals and stone carvings that decorated the ancient tombs. The artworks showed scenes of daily life from long ago, with people farming,dancing, and even playing games. It was like getting a window into the past!Our guide explained that the Maoling Mausoleum Museum is built on the site of the royal tombs of the Western Han Dynasty, which ruled China from 206 BC to 24 AD. The most famous tomb is the joint burial place of Emperor Wu and his wife, Empress Chen. Emperor Wu was one of the greatest rulers of the Han Dynasty and helped expand China's territory and power. Under his leadership, the Silk Road trade routes were established, connecting China to other parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe.After the exhibition hall, we went outside to explore the archaeological sites. We walked through the underground palace area, which had stone rooms and passages that were built to resemble the emperor's royal palace above ground. It felt like we had traveled back in time! There were also huge burial mounds made of rammed earth, marking the final resting places of Emperor Wu and Empress Chen.One of the coolest things we saw was the sloping passage called the "spirit path." It's a long, underground corridor that the ancient Chinese believed would allow the emperor's soul to travel between the realm of the living and the afterlife. The walls were lined with intricate stone carvings of mystical creatures andguardians. Our guide said the carvings were supposed to protect the emperor's spirit on its journey.As we walked through the dimly lit passage, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and mystery. It was amazing to think that people had built this incredible underground world over 2,000 years ago, all for their beloved emperor.After exploring the archaeological sites, we visited the Han Dynasty Village, which is a recreated ancient town on the museum grounds. There were replicas of houses, shops, and even a small theater where we watched a performance about life in the Han Dynasty. I loved seeing the colorful costumes and learning about the different jobs people had back then, like pottery makers, weavers, and blacksmiths.At the end of our visit, we stopped by the museum's souvenir shop, and I bought a little jade pendant carved with a dragon design. It's going to be my special good luck charm to remind me of our amazing trip to the Maoling Mausoleum Museum.Overall, I had such a fantastic time learning about the history and culture of ancient China. The Maoling Mausoleum Museum was like stepping into a real-life history book, filled with incredible artifacts, archaeological wonders, and fascinatingstories. I can't wait to go back and explore more of China's rich heritage!篇3My Amazing Trip to the Maoling Mausoleum MuseumLast summer, my family took me on the coolest trip ever! We went to this awesome museum called the Maoling Mausoleum Museum in Shaanxi Province. It's one of the most important museums in all of China because it has the ancient tombs of emperors from a long, long time ago. I'm going to tell you all about my incredible adventure there!We took a bus for a few hours to get to the museum from the city we were visiting. When we arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes - it looked like a giant palace! The museum is built right over the underground mausoleums of emperors from the Western Han Dynasty, which ruled China almost 2,000 years ago. Can you believe people were building huge tombs that long ago?The first place we went was the Exhibition Hall. It had so many mind-blowing artifacts and treasures from the ancient tombs. My favorite was the jade burial suits! They were these shiny green clothes made out of thousands of jade pieces sewntogether. The emperors actually wore them in their tombs because people back then thought jade could keep them alive forever. Crazy, right?There were also tons of other jade carvings, bronze items, pottery, and even chariots and horses made out of wood! My mom said they were putting those things in the tombs so the emperors could use them in the afterlife. I just thought they were super cool to look at.After the Exhibition Hall, we went underground into the actual mausoleums. It was a little bit creepy but really neat. They had these long ramp hallways leading down, down, down under the ground to the main buriel chambers. Our guide told us it's designed that way based on ancient Chinese beliefs about spiritual journeys.Once we got down there, I saw the most amazing things. The main tomb we visited belonged to Emperor Wudi. He was the greatest emperor of the Han Dynasty who lived almost 2,200 years ago! His burial chamber was this huge room underground with a big mound in the center. That's where his coffin was buried under tons of dirt and rock.But the crazy part was that the walls were decorated with these tiny studs that recreated the night sky! There were over10,000 of them made of different precious stones and materials to represent the stars, moon, and constellations. It looked just like the real night sky on the ceiling. Our guide said it was built that way because the ancient Chinese believed the emperor's soul would live among the stars and planets after death. Wild, right?After the main tomb, we got to go through all these side chambers and hallways. That's where they used to bury the emperor's wives, warriors, servants and stuff to take with him to the afterlife. In one chamber, they even found 48 tomb figures that were life-sized and brightly painted! Those must have been the emperor's servants.I also saw where they found evidence of the "ritual of the soul" - when they used to kill all those people to bury them with the emperor. Thank goodness we don't do stuff like that anymore! Although our guide did say they were very important and honored people who essentially volunteered to be buried with their ruler.My favorite part was at the end when we got to watch them do an excavation! The museum actually has archaeologists still digging and uncovering new sections of the ancient mausoleums. It was so cool to see them carefully brushing away the dirt andfinding old shards of pottery and things. They said some parts haven't even been explored yet because they want to preserve them.After watching the excavation for a while, we went outside to the museum park. That's where a lot of the big sculptures and horse and chariot exhibits are. My dad took about a million pictures of me pretending to be an emperor haha. There were also these huge replicas of the ancient tomb carvings and writings out there. My little brother and I had a blast running around and exploring everything.I had such an awesome time at the Maoling Mausoleum Museum. It was equal parts creepy and fascinating to learn about how those ancient emperors were buried. But most of all, I'll never forget getting to see all those incredible treasures and artifacts with my own eyes that were thousands of years old! If you ever get a chance to go, you have to take it. Just make sure to rent an audio guide like my parents did so you can learn all the cool facts. This place is definitely one of the coolest museums I've ever been to. I give it a trillion stars!篇4My Trip to the Amazing Maoling MuseumLast summer, my family and I took a really cool trip to the Maoling Museum in Shaanxi Province, China. It was honestly one of the most fascinating places I've ever visited! Let me tell you all about it.The Maoling Museum is located near the city of Xi'an. Xi'an is famous for the Terracotta Warriors, which are these incredible old statues of soldiers that were buried with China's first emperor over 2,000 years ago. But the Maoling Museum is even older than the Terracotta Warriors!At the museum, you can see the huge burial mounds, called pyramids, where ancient Chinese emperors and kings were buried a really, really long time ago. These pyramids are ginormous! The biggest one is called the Maoling Mausoleum, and it's over 50 meters (165 feet) tall! Can you imagine how long it must have taken to build something that massive back then without modern construction equipment?Inside the pyramids are the actual tombs where the royal family members were laid to rest after they died. Their bodies and all their valuable treasures were buried deep underground. The biggest tomb belongs to Emperor Wuzong, who ruled China over 1,200 years ago during the Tang Dynasty.One of the coolest things about the Maoling Museum is that you get to go underground and actually walk through the ancient tombs! It's like stepping back in time. The tombs are intricately carved with pictures and writing depicting stories from long ago. My little brother was a bit freaked out being underground in a centuries-old tomb, but I thought it was super fascinating to imagine what life was like way back then.In addition to the pyramids and tombs, the museum has an amazing collection of artifacts that were excavated from the burial sites over the years. There are jade carvings, pottery, bronze items, and even some murals and stone sculptures. Some of the pottery is beautifully decorated with drawings of animals, plants, and daily life scenes. My favorite was this ceramic pillow with a dragon design that looked so ornate and fancy.Another memorable part of our museum visit was seeing the recreated funeral processions. There were life-sized models of horses, chariots, soldiers, and servants accompanying the "emperor" to demonstrate what royal burials were like in ancient times. I've never seen anything like it!I could go on and on about all the incredible things we saw and learned at the Maoling Museum. It really brought history to life in such a vivid, tangible way. The museum did an awesomejob preserving and exhibiting over 1,300 years of Chinese culture and traditions surrounding the royal burial rituals.I feel very lucky to have experienced such an amazing place at my age. Visiting the Maoling Museum wasn't just educational, it was a ton of fun too! It ignited my curiosity about the past and made me want to learn more about ancient civilizations. I can't wait until my next adventure to explore more historical sites and museums. If you ever get the chance to go to the Maoling Museum, you absolutely should - it's an opportunity to travel back in time that you won't want to miss!篇5My Trip to the Maoling MuseumLast summer, my family went on a really cool trip to the Maoling Museum in Shaanxi Province. It was so much fun and I learned a lot of amazing things about Chinese history!The Maoling Museum is a huge underground museum built near the ancient capital city of Chang'an, which is now calledXi'an. It has over 40,000 square meters of exhibition space, all underground! Can you imagine that? It's like an entire museum buried beneath the earth.We had to take an underground passage that went down really deep to get inside the museum. It kind of felt like we were going into a secret underworld. The passage had these sloping ramps instead of stairs, which made it easier to walk down and see everything as we went.Once we got inside, I was totally blown away. The first thing we saw were these gigantic stone rooms and chambers that used to be the underground mausoleum for Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty. He was one of the greatest emperors in ancient Chinese history and ruled almost 2000 years ago!In one of the big rooms, there was this humongous stone tombstone that must have weighed like a million pounds! Our guide told us it was meant to guard Emperor Wudi's tomb. Can you imagine how many people it took to move that giant rock?As we kept exploring, we saw all sorts of mind-blowing artifacts and treasures that were buried with the emperor when he died. There were beautiful jade carvings, bronze artifacts, pottery figurines, and even chariots and horses made of stone!My favorite thing was probably the terracotta warriors. Just like the famous terracotta army in Xi'an, there were thousands of life-sized terracotta soldier statues found at the Maoling tomb site. Each one had a different facial expression and they lookedso realistic, like they could come alive at any moment. Our guide said they were made over 2,000 years ago to protect the emperor in the afterlife. So cool!Another awesome thing we saw were these underground palaces and buildings that were recreated inside the museum to show what the emperor's underground tomb city used to look like. There were little rooms for servants, kitchens, stables for horses and chariots, and even a theatre for performances! The ancient Chinese really went all out for their emperors.Overall, visiting the Maoling Museum was probably the most epic museum trip I've ever been on. Getting to see all those incredible ancient treasures and walk through the underground tomb city made me feel like I had traveled back in time. It was like stepping into another world from thousands of years ago.I learned so much about the history, culture, and beliefs of ancient China from this museum. If you ever get a chance to visit Xi'an, you have to go see the Maoling Museum. Just make sure to wear some good walking shoes because there's a ton of ground to cover! It's an underground adventure you'll never forget.篇6My Awesome Trip to the Maoling Museum!This summer, my family took an amazing trip to the Maoling Museum in Shaanxi Province, China. It was so cool! The Maoling Museum has the underground palace and tombs of emperors from the Han Dynasty, which was over 2,000 years ago. I got to see all sorts of incredible artifacts and learn about ancient Chinese history and culture. Let me tell you all about it!When we first got to the museum, I was struck by how huge it was. The museum grounds stretched as far as the eye could see with recreated gardens, buildings, and pathways from the Han Dynasty. It felt like stepping back in time! The main entrance had this giant model of the Maoling Mound, which is this massive earthen tomb mound that covers the underground palace. I couldn't believe how big it was - over 300 feet tall! My mind was already blown and we hadn't even gone inside yet.The first exhibit we went to was the Maoling Mound exhibit hall. Inside they had all these artifacts that were excavated from the mound over the years. There were jade burial suits, pottery figurines, bronze mirrors, and tons of other treasures in glass cases. Each one was so intricate and detailed. I couldn't imagine how the ancient Chinese artisans were able to craft such amazing things over 2,000 years ago! My favorite was this golden crownthat belonged to the emperor - it had dragons and phoenixes all over it made of gemstones. So beautiful!After the exhibit hall, we went down into the actual excavated tombs and underground palace. It was crazy - we got to walk through tunnels and chambers that haven't seen daylight in over 2 millennia! The underground palace area had over 20 large chambers that recreated where the emperor and his family lived and conducted ceremonies. Everything was built from stone and decorated with these vibrant paintings on the walls and ceilings. Even after all this time, the colors were still so bright and vivid.In the tombs, we saw where the emperor and empress were actually buried. Their coffins were huge stone rectangular boxes decorated with carvings of clouds and dragons. It gave me chills to be so close to where an emperor's remains laid for over 2,000 years. There were also side chambers filled with the skeletons of attendants, horses, and chariots that were buried with the emperor so he could use them in the afterlife. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that these were real human remains from so long ago!My favorite part was toward the end when we went to this life-sized reconstruction of how the underground palace areaused to look. It had all the furnishings, decorations, artifacts, and even wax figures to show what it was like when the emperor lived there over 2,000 years ago. Seeing everything put together really gave me a sense of just how advanced and impressive the Han Dynasty civilization was. The artistry and craftsmanship that went into every little detail was just mind-blowing for that time period.I learned so much from the Maoling Museum and had an absolute blast exploring it too. Things from over 2,000 years ago seem so ancient and hard to imagine, but this museum brought that period of history to life in such a vivid and tangible way. I'll never forget walking through those underground tunnels and chambers or seeing the intricately decorated coffins and treasures from the Han Dynasty. If you ever get the chance to go to Shaanxi Province in China, the Maoling Museum is an absolute must-see! It's an experience like no other that will blow your mind. I give it 1,000 out of 10 stars!。
