MOCA Taipei_NCO Concert: The Silk Road Fantasy :

The 6th Taishin Arts Award Exhibition - National Chinese Orchestra, NCO Concert: The Silk Road FantasyNational Chinese Orchestra / BiographyIn September, 1984, National Taiwan University of Arts Experimental Chinese Music Orchestra was funded and assisted to have concerts by Ministry of Education. They were not only performing regularly in National Theatre & National Concert Hall, but also having musical tours in Culture Centers, schools and communities in Taiwan for educational campaigns of arts. They were in charge of the Chinese music performing programs of Council for Cultural Affairs as well. In February, 1990, Executive Yuan passed "Points of funding an Experimental Chinese Music Orchestra" and authorized that from 1992, the Orchestra would be extended into 93 members in 3 years, so their main duty thereafter extended from simple performing to publishing and educational campaigns.Since National Experimental Chinese Music Orchestra is from a small team into a big Orchestra, each group is trained very well for a long time; therefore their unique performing is various and excellent. No matter Solos, Ensembles, Little Ensembles or Great Ensembles, their delicate and sophisticating performing can always touch the audience's heart with the floating notes. National Experimental Chinese Music Orchestra is good at various styles of music; they have a close cooperation with many composers to develop different types of works, and to step on another level of performing. They also hope to build a contemporary music culture from the traditional spirits of Chinese music.Aside from the local concerts, National Experimental Chinese Music Orchestra had also experiences of tour concerts in France, England, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Our first oversea Chinese Information and Culture Center had grand opening in New York and they were invited as Elite to perform 6 concerts and then were invited to perform in Harvard University, Holmel Auditorium AT&T Bell Laboratories, and Savannah Asian Festival. Their marvelous performances were greatly appreciated by people around the world.Now, National Experimental Chinese Music Orchestra is continuing their performing and developing other corresponding business. Technically, they're working hard with their strict and efficient training in order to improve the skills to another level and to achieve their goal of becoming a National Chinese Music Orchestra.

Chinese Classical Dance And Chinese Violin(Erhu),Flute,Pipa, guzheng(古筝) Performance.

Chinese Classical Dance (TOP right) Erhu Accompanied By Piano(TOP left)


Sometimes known in the West as the “Chinese violin” or “Chinese two-string fiddle,” Erhu is a two-stringed bowed musical instrument, used as a solo instrument as well as in small ensembles and large orchestras.
The Erhu consists of a long vertical stick-like neck, at the top of which are two large tuning pegs, and at the bottom is a small resonator body (sound box) which is covered with python skin on the front (playing) end. Two strings are attached from the pegs to the base, and a small loop of string (qian jin) placed around the neck and strings acting as a nut pulls the strings towards the skin, holding a small wooden bridge in place. [wikipedia]

The two stars of the ensemble are the 85 year old Lu Chunling (standing on the picture with his flute) and the 72 year old Li Yi (sitting, holding his banjo). Lu is a master of the bamboo flute. His instrument and virtuosity lead him to play in front of well known people as Queen Elizabeth II and Mao Zedong. The lively and lovely grandpa told the audience during the performance that he has been in the Netherlands 50 years ago, quite some things have changed since his first visit, when he was in his mid-30s. Li Yi is a recognized player of the Chinese banjo. Xu Fengxia (behind her citer on the picture) and Zhang Zhenfang were contributing to the great performance with their instruments, the citer and the erhu.

The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five centuries, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_CityThe Ming Dynasty (Chinese: 明朝; pinyin: Míng Cháo), or Empire of the Great Ming (traditional Chinese: 大明國; simplified Chinese: 大明国; pinyin: Dà Míng Guó), was the ruling dynasty of China from 1368 to 1644, following the collapse of the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty.Ming rule saw the construction of a vast navy and a standing army of one million troops. Although private maritime trade and official tribute missions from China had taken place in previous dynasties, the tributary fleet under the Muslim eunuch admiral Zheng He in the 15th century surpassed all others in sheer size. There were enormous projects of construction, including the restoration of the Grand Canal and the Great Wall and the establishment of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the first quarter of the 15th century. Estimates for the population in the late Ming era vary from 160 to 200 million. The University of Calgary states that "the Ming created one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_DynastyThe Jianwen Emperor (December 5, 1377July 13, 1402), with the personal name Zhu Yunwen, reigned as the second Emperor of the Ming dynasty.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jianwen_EmperorThe Yongle Emperor (Wade-Giles: Yung-lo; May 2, 1360 August 12, 1424), born Zhu Di (Chu Ti) , was the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty of China from 1402 to 1424. His era name "Yongle" means "Perpetual Happiness". He is generally considered arguably the greatest emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and to be among the greatest Chinese emperors.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yongle_EmperorA Brief Chinese ChronologyI,Xia Dynasty夏朝(c2070-1600　B.C)II,Shang Dynasty商朝(c1600-1046 B.C.)III,Zhou Dynasty周朝1,Western zhou 西周(c11th-771 B.C.),2,Eastern Zhou东周(770-256 B.C.)1),Spring and Autumn Period春秋(770-476 B.C)2),Warring States战国(475-211 B.C)IV,Qin Dynasty秦朝(221-207 B.C.)V,Han Dynasty汉朝(206 B.C.-220)1,Western han西汉(206 B.C.-24)2,Eastern Han东汉(25-220)VI,Three Kingdoms三国(220-280)1,Wei魏(220-265)2,Shu Han蜀汉(221-263)3,Wu吴(222-280)VII,Western Jin Dynasty西晋(265-316)VIII，Eastern Jin Dynasty东晋(3170420)IX,Northern and Southern Dynasties南北朝1,Southern Dynasty南朝1)，Song宋(420-479)2),Qi齐(479-502)3),Liang梁(502-557)4),Chen陈(557-589)2,Northern Dynasties北朝1),Northern Wei北魏(386-534)2),Eastern Wei东魏(534-550)3),Northern Qi北齐(550-556)4),Western Wei西魏(535-556)5),Northern Zhou北周(557-581)X,Sui Dynasty隋朝(581-618)XI,Tang Dynasty唐朝(618-907)XII,Five Dynasties五代1,Later Liang后梁(907-923)2,Later Tang后唐(923-936)3,Later Jin后晋(936-946)4,Later Han后汉(947-950)5,Later Zhou后周(951-960)XIII，Song Dynasty宋朝1,Northern Song Dynasty北宋(960-1127)2,Southern Song Dynasty南宋(1127-1279)XIV,Liao Dynasty辽朝(916-1125)XV，Jin Dynasty金朝(1115-1234)XVI,Yuan Dynasty元朝(1271-1368)XVII,Ming Dynasty明朝(1368-1644)XVIII,Qing Dynasty清朝(1644-1911)

China's Lost Pyramids-KING SHU THE MAGI DESTROYED WORSHIP ITEM.三星堆之谜:蜀国王捣毁了所有祭祀器!中华民族与古犹太人血缘关系的破解.

三星堆之谜:
您相信或不,由您决定，答复是三国时期,圣经纪录是三位国王(MAGI)来自远东跟随圣诞星到耶路撒冷拜访小耶稣，并且，当他们回来蜀国王捣毁了所有祭祀器!
HERE IS THE EVIDENCE WHY IN THE “THREE-PILES EARTH”- THE WORSHIP ITEMS ARE FOUND ALL HAVE HAVE BEEN DESTROYED AND HIDDEN INSIDE THE 2 SACRIFICIAL DENS!!!
1986年在广汉三星堆发现的两个大“祭祀坑”，其中一号坑为长方形土坑，口大底小，坑口长4.5-4.64米，宽2.3-3.48米；坑底较平，长4.1米宽2.8米，深1.46-1.64米。坑的四角基本为正东、西、南、北方向。坑内填有黄褐色五花土，经层层夯实。
一号坑内出土有金、玉、石、骨、陶、象牙等质料的文物300余件以及海贝和3立方米的骨渣。据发掘者根据现场情况分析，埋入的器物是按一定次序投入的。其中玉戈、璋等形制教大的玉石器主要在东部坑壁的东端；玉凿、玉锛、石斧等形制较小的放置在坑的西南；大型铜器如人头像、人面像、铜尊等主要分布在坑的西南部；象牙主要在坑的中部；金杖则出土于坑的中部偏西。出土器物的类型主要有，青铜器：跪坐人像、头像（可分三种类型），爬龙柱形器、虎形器、罍、尊、盘、器盖等；金器：金杖、面罩、虎形饰；玉器：璋（有四形）、戈（三形）、凿（分六形）、锛、瑗、锄、斤、匕、斧、佩以及石器、象牙、海贝等。
二号坑也为长方形，坑壁微斜，长5.3米，宽2.2-2.3米，坑口至坑底深1.4-1.68米，坑底长5米，宽2-2.1米。坑底西南高，东北低，坑内填五花土，填土经夯打。
根据发掘现场情况分析，坑内的遗物投放也是有一定先后次序的。表现为三次投放，因此遗物亦可分为三层：下层主要为大量的草木灰烬、碳屑、小型青铜器、青铜兽面、青铜树枝、玉石器及大量的海贝等；中层主要为大件的青铜器，如大型立人像、太阳器、大型人面像、人头像、树、尊、罍等；上层则为60余枚（节）大盎门齿纵横交错在一起。这些遗物在清理时，大部分都杂在灰烬骨屑里，并留下明显的烟薰火烧痕迹。其后再投入大型的青铜容器、青铜人像、头像、人面、树座等；最后放入象牙。大青铜立人像腰部断成两截，分别位于坑的中部和西北部。……头像和面像尤其是人面像，大部分被打坏或烧坏。[1]
很显然，这两个“祭祀坑”里的器物都是人为投放进去的，并且是有意破坏以后掩埋的。而且这两个坑里的东西都是非常贵重，非常神圣的器物。在生产力不发达的古蜀时期这些器物可以说是他们所有的大部分宝贝，也是他们的主要精神寄托。但是，他们为什么要毁坏这些宝物并且掩埋它们呢？是古蜀人自己干的这件事吗？关于这个问题，确实给大家带来了很大的疑惑，学者们提出了许多的假说，这些假说是：
1、“祭祀坑”说。这是目前学术界占主流的认识。并得到众多同行的认可。该说认为两坑是三星堆古蜀国民进行祭祀后的遗迹。其中包括“燎祭”与“瘗埋”的过程，即将祭物用火焚烧后埋葬。致于祭祀的对象则为天、地、山川及祖先神祗等。
2、“厌胜”说。这种说法出现较早，其比较注重青铜像和神树是被毁掉后埋掉的——对这奇特现象，从民族学材料入手，从古代巫术的概念出发，认为这些神像“不灵”而加以打击、虐待、丢弃或烧毁，以此来刺激灵物。在此基础上，“厌胜”论者还进一步推测“厌胜”活动与蜀地洪水及战乱有关，并而联想到古蜀世系中的杜宇、开明氏的政权更迭。[2

(A)China's Lost Pyramids
Deep within China near the ancient capitol of Xi'an lies a series of pyramid mounds virtually unknown outside the country. Entwined with the reality of these remote tombs, lies a legend of an even greater pyramid seldom seen; a pyramid of such size and grandeur as to put all the other pyramids of the world to shame. This is the legend of the white pyramid of China.
Interest in Chinese pyramids was greatly increased by the 1994 publication of Hartwig Hausdorf's Die Weisse Pyramide later translated into English under the revised title The Chinese Roswell (1998) in which he briefly describes his travels through China in search of the legendary great white pyramid of China. Hausdorf never locates his prize, but he did return from China with a series of photos of pyramid mounds that have been widely published in books and magazines and circulated on the Internet

(B)According to another source: Sanxingdui (Three-Star Piles) Museum;
Sanxingdui refers to three earth mounds at the site. Hence the site found here is called Sanxingdui Relic. The Relic area stretches for about 12 square kilometers (about 4.6 square miles), which is the largest, oldest, and most connotational Shu cultural relic in Sichuan. It is said that the Heavenly Emperor cast down three handfuls of earth which fell near the Jian River and became three earth mounds on Chengdu Plain. The three earth piles, described as three golden stars in a line, hence became known as Sanxingdui (three-star piles).

In the wilderness I smelt the fragance From the soil I assimilated the nutrients For the silkworm need eating mulbery leaves For the Sowed seed to blosoom the folwer I waded over woods and mountain Also crossing endless expanse of snow I have witness the virgin wood beauty. Also gotthe news MOTHER LAND is growing. [MichaelSNE Translation]

怀旧歌曲郭兰英演唱「我的祖国」

必须使党和国家的领导权永远掌握在马克思主义革命家手里 为了保证我们的党和国家不改变颜色，我们不仅需要正确的路线和政策，而且需要培养和造 就千百万无产阶级革命事业的接班人。 培养无产阶级革命事业接班人的问题，从根本上来说，就是老一代无产阶级革命家所开创的 马克思列宁主义的革命事业是不是后继有人的问题，就是将来我们党和国家的领导能不能继 续掌握在无产阶级革命家手中的问题，就是我们的子孙后代能不能沿着马克思列宁主义的正 确道路继续前进的问题，也就是我们能不能胜利地防止赫鲁晓夫修正主义在中国重演的问题 。总之，这是关系我们党和国家命运的生死存亡的极其重大的问题。这是无产阶级革命事业 的百年大计，千年大计，万年大计。帝国主义的预言家们根据苏联发生的变化，也把"和平 演变"的希望，寄托在中国党的第三代或者第四代身上。我们一定要使帝国主义的这种预言 彻底破产。我们一定要从上到下地、普遍地、经常不断地注意培养和造就革命事业的接班人 。 具备什么条件，才能够充当无产阶级革命事业的接班人呢？ 他们必须是真正的马克思列宁主义者，而不是象赫鲁晓夫那样的挂着马克思列宁主义招牌的 修正主义者。 他们必须是全心全意为中国和世界的绝大多数人服务的革命者，而不是象赫鲁晓夫那样，在 国内为一小撮资产阶级特权阶层的利益服务，在国际为帝国主义和反动派的利益服务。 他们必须是能够团结绝大多数人一道工作的无产阶级政治家。不但要团结和自己意见相同的 人，而且要善于团结那些和自己意见不同的人，还要善于团结那些反对过自己并且已被实践 证明是犯了错误的人。但是，要特别警惕象赫鲁晓夫那样的个人野心家和阴谋家，防止这样 的坏人篡夺党和国家的各级领导。 他们必须是党的民主集中制的模范执行者，必须学会"从群众中来，到群众中去"的领导方 法，必须养成善于听取群众意见的民主作风。而不能象赫鲁晓夫那样，破坏党的民主集中制 ，专横跋扈，对同志搞突然袭击，不讲道理，实行个人独裁。 他们必须谦虚谨慎，戒骄戒躁，富于自我批评精神，勇于改正自己工作中的缺点和错误。而 绝不能象赫鲁晓夫那样，文过饰非，把一切功劳归于自己，把一切错误归于别人。 无产阶级革命事业的接班人，是在群众斗争中产生的，是在革命大风大浪的锻炼中成长的。 应当在长期的群众斗争中，考察和识别干部，挑选和培养接班人。 转摘自《关于赫鲁晓夫的假共产主义及其在世界历史上的教训》，一九六四年七月十四日《 人民日报》
MichaelSNE comment: Taiwan and Mainland China while their people have their own right on DOCTRINE and IDEOLOGY, but no one can deny THEY ARE ACTUALLY ONE FAMILY. No need to waste time to STRIFE which one is good,which one must be listened to according to Chinese culture in hierarchy. FACE THE REALITY: Both need to STRIVE together for the wellbeings of their people and even playing their role IN THE WORLD COMMUNITY/FAMILY. For this I clearly speak out sincerely. Is it not ironic :WHEN TAIWAN AND MAINLAND can help and cooperate with other countries, publicly proclaim every country is their friend, and yet THE TWO COUNTRIES are provoking their own people to “fight” like enemy.? Whether the issues of COMMUNISM or DEMOCRACY, in the first place I as a foreign Chinese, I cann’t find the exact word to describe the situation: HYPOcrisy or/and HYPERcrisy. The world at large WISH THAT this can be dissolved for this would benefit their people and their countries ULTIMATELY.
