Coming to the StarCraft to Be a Kindergarten Teacher: Perfect Transformation

At that moment, Wei'er caught a glimpse of the unassuming little wooden box at the bedside. It lay there quietly, as if waiting for its hidden secret to be discovered. Curious, Wei'er gently reached out and opened it. The moment the box opened, a brilliant light shone forth, illuminating the entire room. Wei'er peered closely and saw a pair of exquisite jade pendants nestled within.

Seeing this, Lillian also stepped forward and carefully picked up one of the jade pendants. She cradled it in her palm, examining it meticulously as if it were a rare treasure. The jade pendant was smooth and warm, feeling like white jade, and the engravings on it were so vivid that they seemed ready to fly out of the pendant at any moment. Lillian's eyes were fixed on the pattern, a glint of surprise in her eyes, as dazzling as a sudden burst of fireworks in the night sky. After a moment, Lillian turned to me, her face filled with excitement, and said, "This jade pendant is so beautiful! Look, the engraving looks like a pair of loving mandarin ducks." I smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and whispered, "Yes, perhaps these jade pendants were a token of love between the newlyweds who lived in this room back then." Wei'er and Lillian smiled at each other, their eyes filled with endless longing for this exquisitely crafted bed and that beautiful love story. They seemed to be able to travel through time and space and witness with their own eyes the scene of the newlyweds spending their sweet time together on this bed."

After viewing the stunning Qiangong Babu Bed, we continued our stroll through the museum, admiring the other exquisite objects also made with mortise and tenon joints. My companions' eyes widened, their mouths gaping in wonder. Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of disdain: "Huh, what a bunch of ignorant people!" But at the same time, a strong sense of pride welled up within me. Look at our great motherland! Even visitors from the stars are captivated by its unique charm!

After visiting the museum, I secretly decided to take my friends to see some of my country's renowned architectural masterpieces featuring mortise and tenon joints. I quickly pulled out my phone, connected it to the computer, and expertly typed the names of several famous Beijing buildings onto the screen.

The breathtakingly intricate beauty of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests stands like a dazzling pearl atop the crown of ancient Chinese architecture. Construction began in the 1420th year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty ( AD), and this magnificent hall remains unshaken, showcasing its unique charm and rich historical heritage.

The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests stands 38.2 meters tall and 24.2 meters in diameter, its imposing scale is truly breathtaking. Once inside, one is even more struck by the exquisite interior design. The ingenious layout of the interior bays embodies the mysteries of the changing seasons, the cycle of the twelve months, the alternation of the twelve hours, and the celestial constellations, seemingly encapsulating the entire universe within this small space. This ingenious design not only reflects the ancient people's profound understanding and reverence for the laws of nature, but also demonstrates their supreme wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship.

Looking up, the three layers of blue glazed tiles covering the building's roof shimmer like a clear blue sky. These blue tiles symbolize the supreme "heaven," imbuing the space with a sense of solemnity. Yet, beneath these blue tiles lies the hall's most captivating feature—its ingenious structure, constructed without a single brick or tile.

The timbers here are interwoven, tightly joined by mortise and tenon joints, forming an incredibly solid whole. Brackets, arranged in a staggered pattern, resemble an exquisite woodcarving, supporting the heavy roof and beams. Each piece of timber has been meticulously carved and polished, their shape and size perfectly balanced, seamlessly interlocking. This remarkable craftsmanship makes the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests a true masterpiece of Chinese timber architecture. Standing before the hall, one can almost sense the painstaking toil of the artisans who, with their blood, sweat, and tears, forged this enduring monument.

Then, with great anticipation, we entered the magnificent Forbidden City. As soon as we entered the palace gates, the majestic and imposing scene unfolded before our eyes like a scroll, making us feel as if we had traveled back to ancient times, to the glorious era when emperors and generals lived and worked.

Lillian stood in awe before the Hall of Supreme Harmony, her head tilted upwards, her gaze fixed on the towering golden glazed tile roof. Sunlight streamed down the tiles, shimmering with dazzling light like shimmering golden scales. She was overwhelmed by the extraordinary craftsmanship, unable to resist exclaiming in heartfelt admiration: "Ancient Chinese architecture is truly breathtaking! Such exquisite design and construction are the pinnacle of human wisdom!"

We continued our journey, finally arriving at the renowned Summer Palace. Strolling along the Long Corridor, we were captivated by the exquisite paintings adorning the walls, depicting landscapes and figures in all their forms, each one captivatingly vivid and captivating. The unique and intricate pavilions and towers along the way also captivated us. Wei'er and Lillian were completely captivated by the breathtaking scenery, their cameras in hand, snapping away, eager to capture these beautiful moments forever.

After our Beijing trip concluded, I tapped the screen of my laptop, carefully selected my next destination, and embarked on a new journey with Wei'er and Lillian. After all, Beijing, as the ancient imperial capital, boasts magnificent architecture, but China is vast, and many other places possess their own unique charm and beauty. What awaits us next will be even more unexpected surprises and excitement.

After leaving the bustling city of Beijing, our next stop was the awe-inspiring Sakyamuni Pagoda, a wooden pagoda in Ying County, Shanxi Province. This wooden pagoda boasts a rich history, dating back to the Liao Dynasty. In its early days, it was affectionately known as the Sakyamuni Pagoda.

As the tallest existing wooden pavilion-style Buddhist pagoda, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is renowned worldwide for its unique charm and exceptional architectural craftsmanship. It ranks alongside the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, and is considered one of the "Three Greatest Pagodas of the World." This distinction undoubtedly underscores its global significance and influence.

Even more remarkable is the fact that the entire Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is constructed entirely of mortise and tenon joints. This ancient and ingenious craftsmanship allows each component to be tightly connected without the use of a single nail. It is estimated that the pagoda utilizes a staggering 54 different types of brackets and 3000 tons of wooden components. These components cleverly interlock to create a sturdy and imposing structure.

Over the course of millennia, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda has endured countless tests, both natural and man-made. Over its long history, it has withstood the impact of over 40 powerful earthquakes, remaining unshaken. It has endured over 200 rounds of artillery fire, remaining as solid as a rock. Even countless lightning and thunderstorms have failed to destroy or incinerate it. Its remarkable resilience to earthquakes, artillery fire, and lightning strikes is truly astonishing!

For this reason, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda enjoys the reputation of being a "Museum of Ancient Chinese Bracket-Arch Structures." Here, one can admire a variety of exquisite and diverse bracket-arch structures, which not only demonstrate the superb skills of ancient artisans but also vividly embody the wisdom of the Chinese nation. The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is also recognized as one of the most outstanding and classic examples of extant wooden architecture in the world, attracting tourists and scholars from all over the world to visit, study, and admire it.
