Tibetan students impressed by Jiading bricks
Print Edition
WORKERS from China’s largest inscription brick museum held an exhibition at a school in southwest China’s Sichuan Province to give local students a better understanding of this cultural legacy.
Gu Pengyuan and two of his colleagues, from Mingzhi Hall museum in Jiading, visited the Tibetan Middle School in Aba County of Sichuan’s Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture last month.
They carried 60 kilograms of bricks that bear inscriptions of ancient Chinese history for the week-long exhibition.
The inscriptions on the bricks covered titles of emperors’ reigns, traditional calligraphy as well as paintings and written descriptions of customs.
Students found Tibetan dances on the bricks dating back to Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD). “Look, it is our dance! It has already been there even in the Han Dynasty!” some students shouted.
Gu told the students that many paintings or characters on the bricks are closely connected with Tibetan culture. One with a sheep carved on it is about a Tibetan legend of a sheep sacrificing itself as food so a Tibetan pilgrim could arrive in Lhasa.
