On a Saturday afternoon the lecturer who taught us General History took us to visit a museum.


The exhibition hall was decorated in an antique mode. Charts and pictures were hung on the walls. Many ancient utensils, curious weapons and arms, robes, coins, ornaments, books and farm tools as well as recently unearthed relics were exhibited. Exhibits of different dynasties were presented in separate rooms, along with written and pictorial descriptions. Our teacher served as the narrator, giving us a detailed lecture on the development of Chinese history, and explained his new viewpoint on how to divide Chinese history into different stages.


We were happy to have such a vivid lesson, one that made us not only review what we had learned in class but also feel proud of our country’s diversified traditional culture.
