Hello, my fellows in Hive Universe!
I hope your day is going well and you're enjoying your life in full swing. Finally, the long winter has gone from my living area after a colder week on the first of this month with cloudy and rainy days. For a long time, I was not in the Hive universe because of my busy schedule and tons of work. But again I am here to take you on a tour of the Ming Tomb museum, which is a part of the tomb area namely the Changling Tomb of the Changping district in Beijing, which is one of the city's most well-known tourist sites for people interested in Chinese Dynasty history. Because of the Long Winter, I haven't gone to such a beautiful place in a long time. It has been tough to get outside and study areas like this in the bone-chilling cold for the past 4/5 months.
As I know there are many tombs area in the northern region of the city, most of them are not in the north-west region but unfortunately, I live in the north-east direction of Beijing city center. But the public transportation in Beijing is so good that you have nothing to be worried about going anywhere without any trouble. And moreover, for the tourist location, you can find some special bus services from the Beijing city center in the early morning.
The museum is not so large but you can find the traditional building structure here also, the colorful designs from the bottom to the top will definitely attract your sight. Same as the clothes of the Chinese emperor at that time. The designs are sometimes very complex with the Chinese version of dragons and everywhere from the cloth to buildings or from the words or ornaments, you can find dragons everywhere.
From the color selection to the design, great attention was paid to establishing harmony and oneness with the works. The Chinese emperors believed they were very near to God and sacred dragons were their protectors, therefore their clothes contained so many dragons in different shapes and colors. And I can see it in every corner of each cloth which is displayed in the museum. Everything is almost similar in appearance in aspects of having dragons on these clothes.
The ancient things in these Ming Tomb museums of China are outstanding examples of ancient Chinese culture and demonstrate the richness of traditional Chinese culture. The scenery around the museum area is peaceful, and these sites are ideal for spending time with nature.
It takes around 2 and a half hours from my institute to get to the place but the beautiful ancient things will make you feel it deserves to come and explore them with care. After exploring the clothes, I started exploring another important element of ancient China's jade stones which are used for everything that you can think of.
The first thing I saw was the big crown with so many colorful gems including jade stones and gold also, and the view was breathtaking due to the various colors. Then I also observed several smaller crown types of things I don't know what are these. From the daily necessities to the ornaments and from the decorating things, everywhere you can feel the existence of these beautiful jade stones.
Though the colors of jades should have green colors shades many of them are whitish which is so old and some stones were colorful with gold in decoration for many kinds of ornaments and many useful things like buttons, clips, and so on.
These beautiful things are proof of how the Chinese emperor was also very careful about the interior of the palaces with the huge area of the imperial garden in their living palaces.
I hope you like my tour in such a fantastic place with great exploration. It was amazing to have such tours to a fantastic place like this, with the discovery of ancient world, to enjoy and lose myself away from my busy life! If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
Wish you a great day!
