Tianshui Fuxi Temple, formerly known as Taihao Palace, commonly known as Renzong Temple, is located at No. 110 Fuxi Road, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City. It covers an area of ​​13,000 square meters. It is currently the largest and most well-preserved commemoration of the ancient “Three Emperors” in my country. The Ming dynasty building complex of the Yifuxi clan is also the only temple that enshrines Fuxi statues, and is known as the “first temple in China”. According to records, during the Yuan Dynasty, the “Three Emperors” Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan were highly respected, and Yuan Chengzong Tiemur also ordered all states and counties across the country to build “Three Emperors” temples for worship. The “Three Emperors” Temple in Tianshui was founded in the seventh year of Yuan Zhizheng (1347). In the Ming Dynasty, the “Three Emperors” Temple collapsed. In the 19th year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1483 AD), the locality was on the basis of the original “Three Emperors” temple. Above, the Fuxi Temple was rebuilt. The 64 ancient trees in the courtyard were planted in the Ming Dynasty, symbolizing the number of sixty-four hexagrams, and there are only more than 30 trees left. The local people believe that these ancient trees with strong vitality symbolize health and longevity. Every day, a large number of tourists come to worship and pray for safety. Some patients even cut a paper man and stick it on the tree, light it with incense powder, hoping to get rid of themselves Sickness in related parts. Since Fuxi is the first emperor in ancient history, Fuxi Temple adopts the palace-style building model. The entire building complex is built along the central axis from the north to the south. The archways, gates, yimen, Xiantian hall, Taiji hall and other halls are in order. Arranged and advanced layer by layer, it has a distinctive Chinese traditional architectural art style. The doors and windows of the various halls of Fuxi Temple are carved with auspicious animal patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, cranes, and elk, which have strong local characteristics. In particular, the pair of dragon and phoenix threshold windows in the Taiji Hall are composed of multiple Chinese pine boards spliced ​​into a square. The dragon and the dancing phoenix are carved with open carving techniques. They are the masterpieces of the Tianshui carving technique in the Ming Dynasty wood carving, which is very rare in China. Fuxi is the earliest documented creation god in China. According to ancient records, he invented and created divination and gossip, tied ropes into nets, used to catch birds and hunting, and taught people how to fish and hunt. He was regarded as a Chinese national humanity. First, one of the three emperors. However, although there are many Fuxi temples in China, the Tianshui Fuxi Temple is the only temple in the country where Fuxi statues are enshrined. In the Xiantian Temple, this Ming Dynasty Fuxi clay sculpture painted colossus is 3 meters tall, burly and energetic. The architectural structure of the Xiantian Temple is also worth mentioning. The entire hall is 7 rooms wide, 26.4 meters wide, and 14 meters deep. The beams and columns in the temple are few but thick. The roof truss structure is rigorous. The roof is stretched with troweled beams, making the space more open. , Is considered to be a successful example of China’s early use of the “reduced column method” to build large houses. For hundreds of years, Tianshui area has repeatedly experienced earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above, and this Xiantian Temple has always been safe and sound. According to legend, in ancient times, Fuxi led the tribe to thrive in the Yellow River area. At that time, there was a huge “dragon horse” on the Yellow River that made waves and harmed the people. After seven days and seven nights, Fuxi surrendered it and was inspired by the spots on the back of the dragon horse. He created river pictures and gossip, ended chaos and ignorance, and opened Chinese civilization, and the spirit of dragon horse is also regarded as the incarnation of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

The Space Launch System (SLS-yellow) core module is placed between the two boosters. Photo: NASA According to Insider, the US space agency (NASA) has just released new images of a super rocket called the Space Launch System (SLS) that has just been assembled. It is the agency’s most powerful launch vehicle since the 1960s. The SLS super rocket was installed on June 11 at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA. This is the first SLS rocket, part of a new type of rocket designed to serve the mission of sending American astronauts back to the Moon, and beyond to Mars. The core module of the SLS rocket. NASA has aimed to test-launch the SLS super rocket in November 2021, the first step in a series of missions toward the goal of returning to the Moon for the first time since 1972. In the photo released by NASA, the core module of the rocket, up to 65 meters long, is placed between two smaller boosters. The first version of the SLS super rocket is called Block 1. Once assembled, the rocket will weigh nearly 4 tons, 110 meters high, which is taller than the Statue of Liberty (93 meters). Powerful launcher capable of carrying over 27.2 tons into orbit. That capacity means it’s powerful enough to carry the Orion spacecraft, which is expected to send astronauts into space on future missions. See the core module of the super rocket SLS being moved from New Orleans to Mississippi: Before being fully assembled, the top of the SLS rocket core module needs to be fitted with a converter and the space capsule is lowered and placed on the rocket. This is the first time the core and two boosters have been coupled together since the SLS project was announced in 2011. Photo: NASA The SLS will be launched for the first time in November this year, sending Orion into orbit around the Moon on an unmanned mission. Assembling the core module onto the booster marks the end of the second phase of rocket assembly. NASA aims to launch the SLS super rocket on its maiden flight as early as October 2021. This is the first of three missions that NASA has planned to return humans to the Moon. If the mission is successful, the world will see the first black man and the first woman set foot on the Moon in 2024. The first launch of the SLS rocket this year will be unmanned as it aims to test the rocket’s ability to deliver the lunar space capsule and return to Earth.

Photo: NASA The boosters are located on either side of the core module of the SLS rocket, which can generate 3.6 million pounds of thrust in just two minutes to lift the rocket into space. The core module itself also has a powerful engine, generating about 2 million pounds of thrust. After the first failed test, the core modules’ engines were successfully launched in about 8 minutes on May 18, paving the way for rocket assembly. The engines will power the Orion spacecraft to travel at 24,500 miles (39,200km) per hour, the speed needed to get it to the Moon. Image of SLS system viewed from above. NASA also plans to use the SLS launcher to go to Mars. The modern SLS rocket is the equivalent of the Saturn V launcher, used in the Apollo missions. But because the Moon is 1,000 times farther from Earth, we need a more powerful launchpad. NASA has big ambitions for the SLS rocket. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable, and could be used for missions to Mars, Saturn or Jupiter. The next version of the rocket, Block 2, will be designed to carry a payload of more than 101,400 pounds (46,000kg). According to NASA, it will be a “pack horse” to help transport cargo to the Moon, Mars and other distant space destinations.

The latest outbreak that began in March has left the country’s health system in crisis because of a lack of hospital beds and oxygen.

In India, there is a long tradition that in times of disaster, people turn to faith to alleviate suffering. The worshipers of Sheetla Mata – the goddess of smallpox – believed that she would protect them from the disease by killing the demons believed to cause it. Goddess Sheetla Mata is said to be the reincarnation of the Hindu goddess Durga. A 300-year-old temple in Gurgaon, near New Delhi, is dedicated to this goddess Sheetla Mata.

Millions of Indians place their trust in such “healing” temples. Meanwhile, many people are still skeptical about this and think that this is superstition. Harsh Bhagnani, an engineer in Mumbai, said: “Healing temples are just as effective as a placebo for fanatics. Curative therapies should be rooted in modern science and medicine.” Some opponents of these temples argue that the reason people flock here is because the health care system in India is not focused on investment. According to the results of the Human Development Report 2020 of the United Nations Development Program, India ranks 155 out of 167 countries in terms of the number of hospital beds available to meet people’s needs.

However, for RP Mitra, a professor of anthropology at Delhi University, these religious rituals are deeply rooted in the Indian subconscious. Indian hospitals are overwhelmed by the second wave of Covid-19, with shortages of hospital beds and medical oxygen. Photo: Reuters. “These temples are a fulcrum, helping believers in times of insecurity, fear, and suffering caused by deadly diseases. The temples can be seen as a supernatural complex.” Professor Mitra analyzed. He said religious people may still want to receive divine blessings and still have faith in modern medicine, as the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. “Whether it’s traditional Chinese medicine or ancient therapies practiced across countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal or India, religious beliefs have always been incorporated into traditional medicine,” he said. said more. Countries rush to send medical supplies to India Before the request for support from India, some countries rushed to send medical equipment, including ventilators and oxygen generators, to support the South Asian country in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.

Throughout the apartment space in Thao Dien ward (District 2) where his family lives, from the 4 walls to the ceiling, the window frames and the bedroom are decorated with a series of glass works made by himself. present. They are made entirely of pieces of mirrors and broken glass that are discarded on the street. Levitt see you Zing at noon, because this is a short time in the day when the sun shines directly on the glass “Baby” statue hanging on the first floor of the house and creates a beautiful light effect. Gabriel Meranze Levitt decorates his home with artwork made from recycled glass. “I started making glass items three years ago after meeting old friends in Mexico. During the day, they do their main job, at night they indulge in their own hobbies such as painting, music or making crafts. I was startled to realize that creativity is what I lack in life. Back in Vietnam, I accidentally saw many old glass panels being thrown on the street, so I came up with the idea of ​​​​making works with them,” Levitt shared. Love broken glass “Baby” is a glass work that Levitt inspired by his young daughter. It was a statue of a girl with curly hair dancing. The work weighs about 7 kg, is hung in the corner of the skylight, where the sunlight shines down. “Every time I see my daughter dancing and having fun, I always feel magical. She looks like an angel, full of energy and happiness. I recorded a video, looked closely at her image, and created a work that embodies that spirit. Last Tet holiday, after visiting my wife’s hometown in Tien Giang, I went to Saigon first and focused on finishing as a gift for my children. Levitt took 5 weeks to complete “Baby”. First, he shaped the core of the statue with construction foam, wrapped it with a layer of glass mesh to ensure its sturdiness and limit the shrinkage and expansion of the model when the temperature changed. Finally, glue the mirror pieces on the outermost layer. “Baby” was inspired by Levitt’s image of his lovely daughter. Levitt enjoys talking about the process of making his works. After picking up old glass panels at home, he started to come up with ideas and learn how to cut and grind glass into the desired shape. “I watch many videos on how to work with glasses, but never look for other people’s work. I think when watching and then imitating someone’s work is copying their work, I don’t like that. To this day, I still don’t know if anyone in the world has done the same work as I am doing.” Levitt’s art products sometimes come from improvisation, some come from his concerns about cultural and social issues. The work is called “Storm of Change” inspired by the fight against acute racism in the US. After 3 months, he completed the model and hung it on the ceiling, right in front of the house. The work weighs 15 kg, consists of a cloud (size of 100x50x40 cm) with 3,000 pieces of small square mirrors – symbolizing America as a unified mass – and 130 different colored rain drops, representing the racial diversity, such as whites, blacks, and yellows. Levitt’s latest creation is a table lamp placed in the bedroom. When the lights are turned on, the light reflects through the polished pieces of glass creating an impressive visual effect. The lamp has a height of 106 cm and a weight of 20 kg. Artwork from broken glass of American man. Private world on the rooftop Before moving to Ho Chi Minh City, Levitt lived and worked for an NGO for 3 years in Hanoi for 3 years. In the last year of the project, he met his wife and after only 3 weeks decided to follow her and move to the South. “At first, we just thought about moving here to see if there was an opportunity to stay together for a long time, and also for me to look for something new after my project ended. The love is growing, we now have a little princess. We run a social enterprise together and look for NGO programs to help people in need.” Levitt often spends the evening making products. Recycled glass items have helped him find joy in life, promote creativity and implement many good ideas. The top floor of the house is the “private world” of the American man. The narrow space was lined with collage tools and hundreds of pieces of broken mirrors and glass of all shapes and colors that he had collected over the years. “On the way to work, if I see a piece of glass left behind, I will notice it and come back to bring it home after work. I can’t always find a glass that fits what I want, so I just bring it back and wait until I need it to take it out. I like the patterns and lines of the glass edges after being polished, the light coming on makes them look even more beautiful.” Although it is just a personal hobby, Levitt is always serious and devoted when creating his works. After coming up with an idea for the product, every night after her daughter was asleep, Levitt usually spent about 2 hours working on it. During the day, he has to deal with work, train personnel, at night is when he has absolute focus to do his work. “Not long ago, I had about a week of running out of ideas. Tried so much but couldn’t think of what to do next, I spent some time sitting at a coffee shop thinking and finally coming up with a new idea. For me, making recycled glass is just a personal hobby, but I still need to be serious when pursuing it,” Levitt expressed.

The ancient Egyptians turned countless cats into mummies, and even built the world’s first “pet cemetery”. These cemeteries have a history of nearly 2000 years, with most of the cats buried there wearing iron and bead necklaces. So why did cats have such a high status in ancient Egypt? The ancient Greek historian Herodotus has even recorded that the ancient Egyptians shaved their eyebrows to show respect when their cats died. In 2018, the Smithsonian Asian Art Museum in Washington, DC, USA hosted an exhibition on the importance of cats in ancient Egypt. Many exhibitions have revealed to everyone the origin of this veneration – ancient Egyptians believed that gods and rulers should have cat-like qualities. Specifically, the ancient Egyptians believed that cats had some ideal personalities: on the one hand, they would love, nurture their children and be very loyal; on the other hand, they can also be very aggressive, independent, and assertive. To the ancient Egyptians, these traits made cats seem like a special animal and deserved attention, which may explain why they built so many statues involving cats. Sphinx (sphinx) is a statue next to Kafra Pyramid, 73 meters long and looks like the head of a man and the body of a lion. This is possibly the most famous statue in ancient Egypt, although historians do not know why the ancient Egyptians made this giant statue. Similarly, Sakhmet, the goddess of war and powerful medicine in Egyptian mythology, is also depicted as a female lion or a lion-headed girl in a blood-red dress. She is also considered a protector, especially at dawn and dusk. Another goddess, Bastet, is often depicted as a lion or a cat. The ancient Egyptians believed that the cat was their divine relic. She used to be the goddess of war in Lower Egypt, due to her resemblance to the lion goddess Sekhmet in Upper Egypt, she gradually changed from the god of war to the guardian of the family, symbolizing warmth and family fun. The ancient Egyptians were particularly fond of cats, possibly because they were extremely capable of hunting, especially rats and snakes. Researchers at University College London say that ancient Egyptians even named their children after cats or gave them names meaning cats – for example naming girls “Mitt. “(means cat). It is not clear when cats began to be domesticated in Egypt, but archaeologists have uncovered some ancient graves of cats and kittens dating back to 3800 BC. However, many studies have shown that this obsession is not limited to love. There is archaeological evidence that the ancient Egyptians’ passion for cats had a more cruel side. Between 700 BC and 300 AD, ancient Egypt probably formed a cat industry, first breeding large numbers of kittens, then killing them and making mummies for burial. with human mummies. In a study published in Scientific Reports in 2020, scientists performed micro-CT x-rays of animal mummies in ancient Egypt, including cat mummies. Through the scan, the researchers were able to understand the cat’s bone structure in detail and the materials used in its mummification process. When the researchers received the scans, the cat used for the mummification was in much smaller condition than expected. “It was a very young cat, but we didn’t realize that prior to scanning because most of the mummies (about 50%) were made of cloth,” study author at Swansea University, Wang UK, said Professor Richard Johnston. “When we saw it on the screen, we realized it was still very small when it died” – at less than 5 months old, the cat’s neck It was artificially broken. Mary-Ann Pools Wegner, associate professor of Egyptian archeology at the University of Toronto in Canada, said that many animal mummies were actually used as sacrifices to ancient Egyptian gods. This is a way to quench your anger or ask the gods for help in addition to a verbal prayer. But until now, we still don’t know why the ancient Egyptians wanted to buy cats for mummies during funerals.

Mazu, a strange woman who was awarded the world peace goddess by the United Nations, is also a traditional folk belief that has spread in the coastal areas of our country. Mazu culture originated in the Song Dynasty, developed in the Yuan Dynasty, prospered in the Ming Dynasty, prospered in the Qing Dynasty, and prospered in modern times. It embodies a characteristic of my country’s marine culture and affects more than 300 million Mazu followers worldwide. Shanwei is a well-known coastal city in my country. Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a tradition of believing in Mazu. One of the eight scenic spots in Shanwei has the phoenix ritual with the theme of Mazu, and the Mazu Temple was built in the 9th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty ( 1636), it has a history of nearly 400 years, and the incense has always been relatively strong. Matsu Temple is located on Fengshan Mountain by the largest lagoon in my country-Pinqing Lake. It is one of the main tourist attractions on the Golden Coast in Shanwei. Although Fengshan is not high, it is named after the shape of a phoenix spreading its wings. The mountain overlooks the South China Sea, the water and the sky, the boat is like a shuttle; the new look of the ancient town, the tall buildings, and the green trees, today people are relaxed and happy. Fengshan Scenic Area is mainly composed of three parts: Fengshan Park, Fengshan Ancestral Temple, and Fengyitai Mazu Stone Statue. The Mazu Temple was built in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Ming Dynasty, and was not as large as it is today. Since the decade, the society and overseas Chinese have donated funds for large-scale expansion, newly built Tianhou Pavilion, Bell and Drum Tower and Mazu Stone Statue, as well as Mazu Sacred Relics Museum, Hailufeng Drama Mask Garden, Yujia Customs Museum and Mazu Cultural Square in Fengshan Park. According to Abo, a fellow traveler in Shanwei, the reason why this Matsu temple was built in Shanwei is that Matsu has the reputation of “the god of the sea” and the “goddess of escort”. The local fishermen must first before the ship sails before going to sea. You must first worship Mazu, pray for good wind and safety, and set up the deity of Mazu on the ship. It can be said that “where there are seas, there are Chinese, and where there are Chinese, there are Mazu”, “Mazu is one person in the world, and I believe in Mazu as one family.” Luo Abo introduced to us: Mazu, formerly known as Lin Mo, was born on March 23rd of the lunar calendar in the first year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty, and died on the 9th day of September in the fourth year of Emperor Emperor Yongxi of the Song Dynasty. Lin Mo was born until the full moon and never cried, so his parents named him “Mo”, so the folks also called her “Mo Niang”. It is said that Lin Mo Niang has been very smart since she was a child. He started learning when he was 8 years old, and learned the meaning of the text after reading the book. At the age of 10, he began to recite sutras and worship with his mother Wang. At 15 years old, he can treat illnesses and help the poor. When she was 16 years old, she took pictures in the well and got a pair of bronze charms, which made her more capable. Since she was born in the home of patrols along the coast, she is familiar with water, can drive boats, pull cables, cruise between islands, and often rescue ships in distress in wind and waves. She also observes the sky and predicts the weather, which laid the foundation for her to eventually become the protector of the sea. The Matsu Temple was built four hundred years ago, but the stone statue of Zuma was built in 1994. It was designed by the Chinese modern sculptor Professor Li Weishi and carved by a famous stonemason in Hui’an, Fujian. The stone statue is 16.83 meters high, weighs about 1,000 tons, and consists of 468 pieces. Made of high-quality granite stone from Fujian’s hometown of Mazu, it is the largest stone statue of Mazu in the world; Coincidentally, the stone statue has been in good weather for more than 20 years since it was built. The typhoon has never hit Shanwei head-on. Many citizens think this is the manifestation of Mazu. At the same time, everyone also thinks this statue is a fine piece of modern Chinese stone carving art. It looks solemn and solemn, but it is full of vitality and vigor, and it is commendable that there is beauty and charm in the luxurious and sacred. Today, this tall statue weighing 1,000 tons has become one of the landmark buildings in Shanwei. Standing on the shore of Pinqing Lake, she silently pays attention to the land of Shanwei, like a goddess who protects this land and its people, making every visitor here awe.
