Ancient Nanjing
Stele
I was in Nanjing about 12 years ago. I was taken to a restaurant where the waiter "threw" the hot water into your tea from across the room. It was from a large pot of water that is strapped to the waiter's shoulder.
The waiter throws a small amount of water (from anywhere in the room) and it lands in your cup and only a few drops may land on the table.
I can't find any mention of this on the internet.
In my opinion, this should be an olympic sport. It is amazing to see.
Has anyone seen this?
I have seen the artistic skill in other city many years ago. It is really amazing and inconceivable. It needs high precision because even a little deviation would make hot water splash on table or on body sitting beside.
Saw this as I was about to go up the escalator, so just HAD to take a photo! I wasnt too sure if this was a spelling mistake or whether it really was a floor of men's ***e, so i quickly opted out of going up!!!!
I might not have been lucky enough to come back down!!!!
The Wuliang Dian, otherwise known as the Beamless Hall, is the only building dating from the Ming Dynasty on the Linggu Temple grounds. It is a huge brick building that remarkable for it's construction without the use of nails or beam supports. In my mind it comes across as a huge military bunker but others seem to consider it beautiful. Perhaps forseeing my opinion, the interior of the Beamless Hall has been turned into a museum full of wax figures depicting major historical characters of early 20th century Chinese history. These were somewhat interesting if you want to learn a bit about the history of that area without reading a book. Many of these figures and their poses are of a military nature.
This gate is the first gate to the graveyard of the Ming Tomb of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. At the foot of the gate is a "Special Notice" tablet inscribed in Japanese, German, Italian, English, French and Russian. It was jointly erected for the preservation of the Ming Tomb in 1909.
