Class Reflection

A Song Era Bodhisattva Statue

We are moving back to China again, to study the Song, Tang, and Ming Dynasties. This should be interesting. China has always fascinated me. That one civilization could last in tact for so long is massively impressive. I wonder what new innovations I will learn the Chinese were responsible. If on thing has left an impression on me it is how much many things I had though of as western originated in China. Gunpowder in particular come to mind.
