Animation time works differently. Fifteen seconds for them is five hours for me. Kinda makes you wonder. Five hours for me must be like five days for my animator

Cnetizens: Why the thousand-year-old stone statues at the Northern Song Mausoleums aren’t covered with glass enclosures.

The director of the Cultural Relics Bureau replies: "They’ve stood here largely intact for over a millennium. Why add extra barriers?"

Visitors worry wind, rain and sunlight in the farmland will wear them down. The director explains:

Glass covers speed up decay—it’s like locking the statues in a sauna. Trapped heat and moisture create sharp temperature shifts. Salt crystals inside the stone expand and crack the carvings far faster than open-air exposure.

These statues blend naturally with the farmland landscape. Glass barriers would destroy the sense of scale and historical atmosphere.

When first built, the mausoleum complex was a restricted royal compound ringed by walls, palaces and pine trees—no farmland at all. After the Song fell, protection systems collapsed. Wars and weather destroyed buildings. Local residents gradually dismantled the abandoned structures, reusing timber and bricks in nearby villages.

By the Ming and Qing dynasties, villagers turned the empty grounds into farmland, leaving stone figures scattered amid crops.

Few people damaged the statues for three reasons: each weighs several tons and is impossible to move; folk belief held that anyone who damaged the guardian statues would be cursed with misfortune; every later dynasty passed laws punishing those who vandalized former imperial mausoleums.

Once an exclusive imperial burial ground, now ordinary farmland—this shift tells the story of history. Glass covers would only be unnecessary. As an old Chinese poem puts it: 旧时王谢堂前燕，飞入寻常百姓家

The swallows that were wont to grace the halls of Wang and Xie, Now seek the humble roofs of common men.

this is how some people on here talk about punk

[bluedancer9000]

isn't the whole point of punk nonconformity? anarchy, spreading compassion, individualism? being true to yourself? i'm pretty sure you would be less of a punk if you wore the stereotypical all black, ripped stuff. a shirt that has punk stuff printed on it or clothes that have faux rips that go on to be mass produced is way less punk than mending clothes yourself or getting secondhand.

[butchboromir]

actually the whole point of punk is high jump kicking peoples' dogs

[bluedancer9000]

Go to wiki and educate yourself

[butchboromir]

yeah it literally says it right here on wikipedia. punk is about high jump kicking peoples' dogs.

A fanart I made of the medicine seller (series/Ri) because he was beautiful. And because I saw a lot of photos of geisha's on Pinterest and realized how amazing models/references they would be. So here he is💛
