✧ Mao Gong ding ✧

The Mao Gong ding is a ceremonial bronze vessel (ding) produced c. 805 BC in Western Zhou–era China. It was presented to King Xuan of Zhou by his vassal, the gong (duke) Yin of Mao. The Mao Gong ding was discovered in Shaanxi in 1843 and is currently in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan.

Went over to West Van for an art show and went to Lao Cai for lunch: Chinese restaurant featuring Shaanxi-style snacks and hot pot. We had cumin lamb with hand pulled noodles, cucumber salad, and pan fried dumplings. It was soooo good! I want to go for dumpling happy hour!

It's street food time again! And this time it's another of my favourites. In the past you've seen me show 肉夹馍 (ròujiāmó) which is my favourite Chinese street food. It is my favourite, however, by a very slender margin because today's essay will introduce you a very close second.

This is 锅盔 (guōkuī, literally “pot helmet”), a crispy, stuffed flatbread that looks like a little bread helmet (hence the name). It's a very popular street food all around China, and though its source is 陕西 (Shaanxi), local variations are everywhere. This is the Hubei variant (obviously).

I apologize in advance for some of the photo quality, but this man moves QUICKLY and it's hard to keep up with him. I'll try to explain the bits missed from photo to photo in the alt text.

Il difficile incontro, che richiede una conoscenza approfondita dei comandi ed i poteri del protagonista, si ... Leggi tutto

Les avions chinois font encore figure de curiosité sur le continent africain, à ceci près que la Namibie est déjà utilisatrice de deux Harbin Y-12. Sa flotte de transport est complétée par un Antonov 26. #Namibia #Y9E #Shaanxi #An26

Des avions de transport militaires Y-9E chinois en Namibie - Aerobuzz

Les forces de défense namibiennes ont reçu deux Shaanxi Y-9E commandés à Pékin. Il s’agit de la première livraison à l’export pour cet avion militaire de transport tactique. La ressemblance avec l’Antonov 12 est bien là, le bureau d’étude russe ayant d’ailleurs collaboré avec Shaanxi dans le développement de l’avion. Le Y-9, qui a volé
