The 7th Day~! fairy tale about ceramics & Sanshia Master Temple, the night watch of frog as well



As a traditional typical Chinese girl who have lived in the mainland for about 20 years, I've never paid attention to ceramics until we visited the Yingge Ceramics Museum today. It was amazed to see that "plain" pottery clay can be so colorful after the whole work. Maybe that's kind of ancient Chinese philosophy, only after tough environment can unbelievable changes happen to it and finally enable it to be what it supposes to be. In the DIY section I tried to use the clay to make a giraffe but finally it seened like a turtle~! Maybe the reason was because of its four strange legs~! I am waiting to see what it will be like after all the following proctures, wish it will not be to bad.

After a real big meal we went aheat to Li Mei-shu Memorial Galley. My respect to him and the knowledgeable people at that period increased since his younger son, out guide today as well talked about him and his work today. The most exciting thing here today was to see the ones who was drawn in the picture "walked" out and talked to us~!!! Though several tens' older, I still considered it one of the most unbelievable affairs I've ever met. My interest in architecture was recalled on seeing the Sanshia Master Temple designed by Li Mei-shu. The temple was not big but it was sooo attractive~! Just liked another gallery outside Li Mei-shu Memorial Gallery~! Though it was a pity to not hide the bumbs but the temple was good enough for future people tp pray and learn from him.

The most exciting but horrible thing as well today was the night watch of frog. I've never been to a nature park at night and try to find frogs before. I was so scary and even didn't dare to step on the stones since I had no flashlight. After a while things became a little better and I tried to persuaded myself to calm down and enjoy this course. Finally we found 7 kinds of frogs and went back to NTU safely. I think it was an experience I will never want to again but also one of the experience maybe I will never have any chance to do so.
