Carlos H. Matos: The Puzzle of Architecture and Sculpture

 











I once joked that the only people I envy are architects. Some racist Brazilians took it literally.
How can you envy or hate someone you DO not know?
There are too many stupid folks in this world….

Hit game 'Black Myth: Wukong' drives tourism in China, especially within historic-rich Shanxi


"Black Myth: Wukong", the smash hit Chinese action game, draws inspiration from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, and features more than thirty historic and cultural spots from across China, most of them in Shanxi Province.
One of the most impressive locations is the Xiaoxitian Temple in Xixian County, built 400 years ago. Its main hall is less than 200-square-meters, but houses nearly 2,000 exquisite hanging sculptures. Visitors are often mesmerized by the exceptional craftsmanship.
Some sculptures from "Black Myth: Wukong" were filmed in Yuhuang Temple in Jincheng City. Dating back nearly 1,000 years, the temple is famous for its colorful figure statues representing deities from the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Chinese equivalent of the zodiac in western astronomy.
Some of the dharani pillars in "Black Myth: Wukong" were also filmed in Foguang Temple. There are two Tang Dynasty dharani pillars on the temple's grounds.

Learning As Pleasure.

 

A racist worker at Tabaqueira, as always, the stupids do not know me but hate me with passion, anyway, referring to the title of this blog, says scornfully, loud enough for me to be able to hear — Having to be learning for the rest of your life?
Meaning. It Is a waste of time. While he was heading for an upgrade course.

Why would anyone see it as his or her obligation to shut you down regarding things you did not ask them about or of which they have no grasp?

- Envy and projection.


I still remember vividly when a relative knew about my myopia. She laughed loudly with joy.
I only started wearing glasses in my last year in high school. After accidentally reading about myopia. After which, my interrogations about the said laugh cease. 
I knew the laugh was ominous.

Why did she not tell me to go see an ophthalmologist?
Because she saw it as a detriment, from which her daughters could have a leg on me.


- Envy and projection.
