Happy Year of the Horse, everyone! Thank you to everyone who follows and supports my channel. My daughter had a cough with a lot of phlegm and had to stay in the hospital for four days. Thankfully, she fully recovered and was able to go home right before the Spring Festival I hope all of you stay healthy, happy, and enjoy the new year!
Today, my little girl and I visited a porcelain exhibition in Guangzhou. This is Dehua White Porcelain. It became famous worldwide during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Europeans even called it 'Chinese White' The secret of the porcelain lies in the high-quality kaolin found in Dehua, Fujian Province, which is much purer and denser than regular clay. This type of clay allows for incredibly detailed designs, such as molding, carving, and hollowing. You can see porcelain that looks like silk, paper, food, flowers, fabric, and so on
Today, my baby girl and I watched some Cantonese opera. In Guangzhou, People can get a close look at the costumes and phoenix crowns. Each character was so unique, and this year, some of them were even wearing Santa hats with their traditional outfits😄😄 Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🎉🎉🎊
Image1-4: This is an ivory chess set. While chess isn't originally from China, all the pieces are in a Chinese style. From each of the black squares, you can see ancient Chinese-style artwork.
Image5-6: This is a tortoiseshell folding fan from the Qing Dynasty. It was one of the Chinese-style luxury items that became popular in the West during the late Qing dynasty. The fan was made from precious tortoiseshell. It features detailed carvings that bring the stories of the figures to life.
Image7: This is a Chinese-style round fan. This fan was a popular export item in the late Qing period. It features beautiful double-sided embroidery, showing a peacock spreading its tail, and is a classic example of (Canton) Guangzhou's local embroidery art.
Image8-9: This is a robe from the Republic of China period, made of white satin with a "Hundred Birds Adoring the Phoenix" design. The robe shows a scene of a hundred birds surrounding a phoenix.
Image 1-2: This is a jade carving, and the chicken looks so lifelike. It’s inspired by a local Guangzhou delicacy: White-cut chicken. The piece is made from local jade, and the craftsmanship blends the beauty of the shape with the natural color of the stone. Image 3-7: This is an ivory carving; at the top of the tree is a "ghost ball" carving. Since the ivory trade was banned at the end of the last century, carvers have started using other animal bones as substitutes for ivory. Image 8: My baby girl🤗
Hey everyone, winter just started and I’ve come down with some bad mouth ulcers☹️,so I’ll need to take a short break and won’t be able to update for the next 5–7 days. Also, I’m really sorry that over the past few months I haven’t been able to keep up with my promise of regular long-form uploads, as taking care of my kid has made it hard to stay consistent Thank you so much for all your support and good wishes.
Please make sure you post more on your social media (whether it’s private or public🤗), not for the likes, views or followers, but for your real audience-it's you at 70 or 80, when you'll be sitting in a rocking chair. Every day might feel like just another day, but soon enough, it’ll be yesterday, and you can't go back Btw, The giant fish in the photo, is the same AoYu I mentioned in one of my Short videos
Thanks for everyone’s good wishes! My little Siobhan just turned 3 months old. I haven’t really taken her out much these past few months, but since the weather’s nice today, I decided to take her for a walk. Turns out, I made the rookie mistake of a new dad; she's still a bit too early to be held upright like that😂
October 1st is both China’s National Day and my birthday. This year, I’m celebrating in my baby girl’s ancestral hometown, a rural village in western Guangdong. Seeing her great-grandma holding her in her hands is very joyful. Thank you all for supporting this channel, and thank you to those who find my videos interesting, educational, or funny. May your home also enjoy harmony and prosperity 🤗
I never realized how hard it is to raise a child. Sometimes, hearing her cry and scream her heart out in the middle of the night over and over feels like going through a nightmare each time She really makes me appreciate life and be grateful for everything
