Pearl Market in Beijing - Trip to China part 10 - Travel video HD
Pearls are a wonderful value in China so if you've got a few hours to spare, it's definitely worth hitting one of the pearl markets in China. There are large ones in Shanghai and Beijing, but just about every city will have a stall in the tourist markets.

Sericulture and silk craftsmanship of China
UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2009
URL:
Description: Sericulture and silk craftsmanship of China, based in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces near Shanghai and Chengdu in Sichuan Province, have an ancient history. Traditionally an important role for women in the economy of rural regions, silk-making encompasses planting mulberry, raising silkworms, unreeling silk, making thread, and designing and weaving fabric. It has been handed down within families and through apprenticeship, with techniques often spreading within local groups. The life cycle of the silkworm was seen as representing the life, death and rebirth of human beings. In the ponds that dot the villages, silkworm waste is fed to fishes, while mud from the ponds fertilizes the mulberry trees, and the leaves in turn feed the silkworms. Near the beginning of the lunar year, silkworm farmers invite artisans into their homes to perform the story of the Goddess of the Silkworm, to ward off evil and ensure a bountiful harvest. Every April, female silkworm farmers adorn themselves with colourful flowers made of silk or paper and make harvest offerings as part of the Silkworm Flower festival. Silk touches the lives of rural Chinese in more material ways, too, in the form of the silk clothes, quilts, umbrellas, fans and flowers that punctuate everyday life.

Virtual tour to Terracotta warriors museum-兵马俑-HD | China travel vlog
Terracotta Army Museum, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in the Lintong District, Xi’an, China. The army sculptures were meant to protect the first Emperor of China, named Qin Shi Huang, in his afterlife after his burial.
The army was initially buried and forgotten for hundreds of years; until it was discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well. The sculptures include sculptures of army generals, warriors, horses, and even chariots. Although the collection is known to depict an army, there are other figures as well, which include musicians, officials, strongmen, and even acrobats.
The soldiers and other sculptures buried with the Emperor are made of clay, but they are based on real warriors. In total, more than 8,000 soldiers were buried with the emperor to watch over him in his afterlife.
The Emperor rose to power when he was only 13 years old. After taking the throne, he ordered this project, which took nearly 40 years to complete. He ruled from 247 BC to 210 BC.
Seeing this ambitious collection of artworks is an experience most people will live to remember. Having been around for thousands of years, the Terrracotta army carries with it lots of history.
The museum offers a unique insight into how Chinese emperors were like, and how much they prepared for the afterlife. The collection should also help give you an insight into the brilliant and deep Chinese art culture.
The clay army has survived centuries of burial, looting and other challenges that have made it unlike any other collection of artworks in the world. That is partly why the museum was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some have called it the eighth wonder of the world.
No after effect or talking,keep things original, I am not a fancy movie maker, I am just your eyes and ears, I share with you exactly what I am seeing and listening...

China's clay figurine revival
China's traditional clay figurines have become less popular in recent years. In a bid to revive the flagging folk art, a group of villagers in Hebei province have decided to make this spring festival come alive using the traditional art.
Shanghai - Chinese Printed Blue Nankeen Exhibition Hall
Chipped paint was on yet another wall leading us deeper into the maze. The narrow alleyways were so cramped and high that any impressive discovery along this path seemed an impossibility. The space was just too modest. The lines of laundry hanging above our heads revealed a working class neighborhood, not a destination worthy of a popular Shanghai museum.
It's here somewhere, Alicia promised. She was confident of our route. I was less so.
Nevertheless, I was beginning to be charmed by the setting. Soft moss clung to the lower corners of buildings and cobblestones. The green offered an organic gradient when mixed with the blue sign painted on the walls. The large mural pointed left with a faded arrow.
We were deep around the corners now. Clothes hanging from 2nd and 3rd story windows were drying in the breeze. The rustling of the fabric was a pleasant acoustic surprise. A short backtrack along our path would quickly lead to the typical congestion of the city. Yet here, the flap of a sheet corner in the wind was the explicit sound.
Traipsing around these gentle corners of Shanghai was already a worthy effort.
Then, through a small gate at the end of the alleyway: a courtyard. The expanse of stone and concrete terminated onto a patch of lawn; a humble plot aside a sun bleached facade. Patterns of blue fabric hung from clotheslines. They gently sang in the late morning breeze, just like the earlier collections of laundry. The canopy of fabric covered the entire yard. It flowed toward a tiny museum. A final sign announced unobtrusively Nankeen Exhibition Hall.
This is it! said Alicia as she disappeared under the blue sheets and walked to the entrance.
For me, I found a short stump and sat between the draped fabric outside. Before I even ventured inside the Nankeen museum, I had found my perfect spot in Shanghai.

Yunjin Brocade Master Zhou Shuangxi TRAILER (HD)
Yunjin Brocade Master is a 30-minute HD documentary that features Master Zhou Shuangxi, the Heir to Yunjin Brocade. Master Zhou explains how the ancient art form has been preserved and passed down from generation to generation. Yunjin Brocade was once only fit for a Chinese emperor, weaved with fine silks and threads made from peacock feathers and real gold. Today, Yunjin Brocade is on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List and continues to be preserved, cherished, and modernized by the Nanjing Brocade Research Institute in Nanjing, China. The attention to detail and time consuming processes to make a Yunjin Brocade garment is a collaborative effort. The reproduction of ancient designs and the creation of new ones are all done by hand, from the making of the silk, gold and peacock threads to the knotting and weaving process. The weaver's hands are the last to touch the creation. One slip up will ruin a garment worth thousands of dollars. How does Master Zhou and other Yunjin Brocade weavers do it? Watch and see!

The Furniture in the Ming Dynasty generally refers to the furniture from the Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty with good materials, fine craftsmanship, and beautiful design.
The furniture in Ming dynasty can be classified into five categories according to the function: table & case category, bed & couch category, chair & stool category, frame & shelf category and screen category. The table & case category including tables and cases has the most varieties in the five categories. The bed & couch has three varieties, including the small bed with only the body part of bed, and the arhat bed with rear back, left and right enclosures, and the shelf bed with the pillar, enclosures and ceilings. The frame & shelf category refers to the utensils either for display or storages, or for both.
Making full use of the natural characteristics of the hard wood, the Ming dynasty style furniture is characterized by the simple design, precise structure, proper decoration and elegant textures, which constitutes its natural and lingering charm with elegance and profundity. Therefore the furniture made in later generations with the above characteristics is referred as “Ming Style Furniture” in general.
The Master of the Nets garden, then called Ten Thousand Volume Hall, was first constructed in 1140 by Shi Zhengzhi the Deputy Civil Service Minster of the Southern Song Dynasty government. Shi Zhengzhi was inspired by the simple and solitary life of a Chinese fisherman depicted in philosophical writings. After his death the garden passed through numerous ownership and subsequently fell into disarray until around 1785 when it was restored by Song Zongyuan, a retired government official of the Qing Dynasty. He drastically redesigned the garden and added multiple buildings, but retained the spirit of the site. He often referred to himself as a fisherman and renamed it the Master of the Nets Garden, as an allusion to the simple life of a fisherman.
Ownership passed to Qu Yuancun, a scholar well-versed in the classics and literature, in 1795. He added and remodelled buildings, planted trees, and arranged stones. The garden acquired the nickname of Qu's Garden during this period as well as its first acclaim by critics. Ownership passed to Li Hongyi, an imperial official and master calligrapher in 1868. About half of the steles in the garden are inscribed by him. Ownership passed to He Chang in 1940, who restored both the garden and returned the name back to Master of Nets Garden. He stipulated in his will the garden should be donated to the government. In 1958 his daughter He Zehui gave the garden to the Suzhou government.
During the late 18th century it was recognized for its herbaceous peonies. In his Notes on the Master of Nets Garden, Qian Daxin stated, A good integration of the delights of the village and town. Modern critic Chen Congzhou feels that the Master of the Nets Garden is the best representation of all classical Chinese garden art, as stated in Famous Classical Gardens of China.
