as i have previously mentioned, i am in China. i am currently in a small town right in the centre and i have to say that i have had one of the most amazing experiences here.
we have found a collection of books, stone tablets, vases and 2 padlocks. they had been hidden through the revolution wrapped in old newspaper, underneath a house, and were unwrapped today by the owner, myself and a friend.
one or two of the books are written by Confucius. (i actually held it in my hands 7 hours ago. cannot stop smiling
) the paper is amazingly thin. some of them have disintegrated though. one of the stone tablets is around 2000 years old. another book is an original traditional chinese medicine book. there are two candleholders, one with two elephants on it and four mice drinking out of the cup on the top. really beautiful.
i am going back on Saturday to take photos. if anyone is interested, i will post them here. i dont know if anyone's interest expands to China. i havent read any posts on it.
let me know!
