A Blue and White Porcelain plate of the Yuan Dynasty
The Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) is a key period for the development of the firing techniques of the blue and white porcelain in China. Its unique characteristics were based on the techniques of the former dynasties. The blue and white porcelain had become major porcelain product of China by the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911).
The blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is large in size, with thick roughcast. Generally there are big bottle, big pot, big bowl and big plate, with the traditional flavor of the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties. Due to the underdeveloped techniques, there are two interfaces on the body and several veins inside the body. The roughcast is not as smooth as that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, while the glaze of the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is thicker than that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to more iron in the raw material.
There are lines like bamboo on the foot of the porcelain. The body is connected with the foot when glaze has not been coated. The body is decorated with lines of lotus, clouds and lots of flowers. Dense decoration was not only applied to the blue and white porcelain but also to the picture weaving and stone carving, reflecting the unique characteristics of that time.
The major producer of the blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty was Jingdezhen. Besides, there were kilns for the blue and white porcelain production in Zhejiang Province, east of China and Yunnan Province, southwest of China.
元朝（1271-1368）是青花瓷烧制技术发展的一个关键时期。其独特的特点基于前代的技术发展而来。到中国明朝（1368-1644）和清朝（1644-1911）时期，青花瓷已经成为主要的陶瓷产品。
元代青花瓷器形大，毛坯厚。通常有大瓶，大壶，大碗和大盘，有唐（618-907）和宋（960-1279）的传统风味。由于技术不发达，青花瓷器主体上有两个接口和几个胎内纹理。毛坯不如明清时期的光滑，由于釉原料中有更多的铁，元代青花瓷器的釉要比明清时期的厚。
青花瓷瓷器的底部有行像竹子一样的线条。没上釉的时候胎就和底连在一起了。胎体装饰着莲花，云层和很多花。密集的装饰不仅与青花瓷相互协调还与上面的图片和石雕完美搭配，这都反映了那个时代的独特的特点。
元代青花瓷器的主要生产地是景德镇。此外，在中国东部的浙江省和中国的西南部云南也有烧制青花瓷的磁窑。

世界著名书画艺术鉴赏——《八骏图》
《八骏图》是徐悲鸿最著名的作品之一，以周穆王八骏为题材，八匹马形态各异，飘逸灵动，在绘画技法上，是极为成功的中西融合的产物，他以中国的水墨为主要表现手段，又参用西方的透视法、解剖法等，逼真生动地描绘了马的飒爽英姿。用笔刚健有力，用墨酣畅淋漓。晕染全部按照马的形体结构而施加，墨色浓淡有致，既表现了马的形体，又不影响墨色的韵味。为不可多得的珍品。刚劲矫健，剽悍的骏马，给人以自由和力量的象征，鼓舞人们积极向上。
徐悲鸿所画《八骏图》中的马的品种分别为：蒙古马，哈萨克马，河曲马，云南马，三河马，伊俐马，千里马，汗血宝马。按照我国古代对最好的马“八骏”的称呼，分别取名为：一、绝地，足不践土，脚不落地，可以腾空而飞；二、翻羽，可以跑得比飞鸟还快；三、奔菁，夜行万里；四、超影，可以追着太阳飞奔；五、逾辉，马毛的色彩灿烂无比，光芒四射；六、超光，一个马身十个影子；七、腾雾，驾着云雾而飞奔；八、挟翼，身上长有翅膀，像大鹏一样展翅翱翔九万里。
《八骏图》是徐悲鸿的代表作之一，八骏图上，八匹英姿勃勃的骏马飞奔向前，姿态各异，匹匹高大雄健、精神焕发。其中的一匹最具特色，它后腿蹬地，前蹄腾空而起，鬓毛迎风飘动，昂首扬尾，自由奔放。
《八骏图》是徐悲鸿送给陈纳德将军的一幅巨作。那时陈纳德将军正从战场上凯旋归来，画上那昂首奋蹄的八匹骏马，映照着中华民族不屈的精神。“骏马奔腾似潮涌，一日千里独行空。驰骋疆场唯我狂，遨游神州立战功”。奔腾的骏马，显现的是气度，释放的是力量，超越的是灵魂。徐悲鸿的《八骏图》体现的是飞扬的志气，中华的灵魂。

经典歌曲鉴赏
Father and Son
Boyzone
It's not time to make a change
Just relax take it easy
You're still young that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me I am old
But I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found
Something going on
But take your time think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain?
When I do it turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down
and take it slowly
You're still young that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me I am old
But I'm happy
All the times, that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard
But it's harder to ignore it
If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know
Not me. Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go.

这几种乡村音乐乐器你听说过吗？
曼陀铃（Mandolin）
鲁特琴家族的一员，曼陀铃在19世纪时由意大利传入美洲。这是一种有指板的四弦琴，音域较接近于小提琴。早期当Robert Gardner of Mac and Bob这样的演奏家为推广这种乐器而努力时，是Bill Monroe确立了曼陀铃在乡村音乐历史中举足轻重的地位。事实上，这位兰草音乐之父让当时的整个音乐界都为他手中那把曼陀铃倾倒。步Monroe后尘的有Jim and Jesse乐队的Jesse McReynolds、Osborne Brothers乐队的老大剧院之星Bobby Osborne、Texas Playboy Tiny Moore和Jethro Burns。曼陀铃拓宽了兰草音乐的范围，当今的演奏家包括Ronie McCoury、Sam Bush、David Grisman和Tim O'Brien则仍继续着Monroe的演奏传统。
冬不拉（Dobro）
是钢棒吉他的前驱。作为滑棒吉他家族的一员，Dobro弹奏时，一手用拨片拨弦，另一手用一金属棒在弦上滑动。“大剧院之星”Bashful Brother Oswald首先推广了Dobro，他是Roy Acuff的Smoky Mountains Boys乐队中的一员。而Flatt & Scruggs中的Josh Graves则把其推广到兰草音乐中。Jerry Douglas和Mike Auldridge是当今公认的Dobro演奏高手。他们两人同属炫技型，并且把这种乐器介绍给了更多的听众。
钢棒吉他（Steel Guitar）
20世纪初夏威夷的舶来品，钢棒吉他是滑棒吉他中的一种，但是它的琴板上没有“品”。在演奏时，演奏者总是一只手拨弦，另一只手在琴颈上套弄一根钢制的或玻璃棒。钢棒吉他一般拥有丰富的颤音。一种是短一些的放在怀里、膝盖上演奏的钢棒吉他（lap steel），还有一种有脚踏板的钢棒吉他（pedal steel guitar）。Darby and farlton在队中的Jimmy Tarlton是在乡村唱片中第一位加入钢棒吉他演奏的人，那是在1927年年初，后来随着技术的发展，原声乐器渐渐让位于电子乐器，但有一些保守主义者仍尽力抵制这一变化。在1953年，在Webb Pierce的唱片Slowly中，Bud Isaaca演奏的改进过的钢棒吉他受到了大众的欢迎。在后来的一两年之内，电子钢棒吉他在乡村乐队中越来越普遍。其中的佼佼者是Buddy Emmons和Shot Jackson。Pete Drake把这一乐器在20世纪60年代与Bob Dylan、Ringo Starr合作时，介绍给了更多的听众。
今天，钢棒吉他以及它许多的衍生乐器已经在多姿多彩的乡村音乐中扮演了重要的角色。Paul Franklin是一个钢棒吉他的演奏高手，而在乡村老大剧院，Weldon Myrick在他的乐队中也演奏着这种乐器。
