2nd day in LiChengErZhong ( 历城二中 ) - 6 Nov (Tuesday)
It's the 2nd day that we went to LiChengErZhong. First thing in the morning, we went to attend a lesson. It's a poetry lesson. The poem that we learn was written by a guy called Wang Wei (王维) and the title of the poem was named as SongYuanErShiAnXi (送元二使安西).
here's the poem,
送元二使安西 - title
王维 - author
渭诚朝雨浥轻尘,客舍青青柳色新。劝君更进一杯酒,西出阳关无故人。
This poem is about a guy named Wang Wei and a friend of his named Yuan Er who is about to leave to a place called An Xi to be a official and it means that Wang Wei did not want Yuan Er to leave and would miss him.
After learning the poem, we went to the music room and watched the students perform. They had prepared Wushu, Dance and Drum for us. It was really awesome. Then we proceeded the meeting room and learn seal
carving. It was fun and really very challenging. In the picture, it's
my surname (何). It's my first time doing this and it came out not really up to standard but after all I've tried my very best to carve a nice one and have enjoyed myself during the carving. In the picture it seems funny because it's not really a modern type of chinese character. Here is a picture of all our surnames that we carved it ourselves. It's lunch time and we went to had our lunch at their canteen as usual. After eating, we went to attend a pottery workshop where we had to use our creativity to make our own pottery. It
wasn't an easy job to do as it requires alot of thinking and imagination. In picture on the left is zhenjie. He is concentrating on his workpiece.
After all our products are done, it will be sent to dry for few days and heat.
liwei in the blue nature.
