If I Had a Time Machine, I Would Travel to Tang Dynasty My dear friend, last night I had a weird dream— I was knocked by a box named Pandora.I was so curious and eager to open it.To my surprise, nothing flied out but a sound “My girl, Here is an invisible time machine, it can fulfill your dream, tell me where you want to go.But the premise is to convince me of your reason, if succeed, just travel＂ Ok, please be my judges and you will get something unexpected.If I had a time machine, I would choose Tang dynasty to enjoy my time because I can be both physically and mentally healthy.To start with, being the centre of the world at that time, Tang dynasty was culturally liberal and free.People around the world come to the capital city to admire her positive spirit, indulgent, and comprehensive culture.Now it is time to get to know their values and how different cultures affect people’s thinking patterns.Once we are aware of the skills of intercultural communication, we will not get confused by some intercultural cases.Instead we have an overview of the situation and truly take hold of it.With the awe for culture diversity, we can’t help but show respect to their culture, Compared with ours; we probably learn something special and meaningful to add to
our culture, which promotes the culture integration in return. In such a way we broaden you horizon and expand our world.
Naturally the mental health contributes to physical health, especially the attitude towards beauty standard.The Tangnese viewed overweight as beauty, and they didn’t encourage the diet aimed at losing weight.Take one of the four beauties, Yang Guifei, for example, who was not in accordance with the mainstream aesthetic standard, was favored by the great emperor Tang Xuanzong.They allowed overweight and respected it and even admired it.They tended to find the underlying beauty in the seemingly ugly outlook shared by our contemporary people, But that doesn’t mean they disliked slim, they allowed people to be themselves, they respected cultural diversity and encouraged it by action, which was also a kind of soft cultural power with much influence on the subjects＇subconscious.Thirdly, without the anxiety of being overweight, people can have more energy to focus on something meaningful, to devote to their hobby, to better themselves.In the real world because of the so called test-oriented examination system, I have to deal with the difficult science which is not to my liking and not my career direction in the future.But things are different
now; I can choose not to be chained to it.I’d like to study the liberal arts including the mysterious history and geography, and some instruments like the zither.They contribute to my peaceful mind and the inner tranquility which is not easily found in people in the modern times.So it makes me closer to my inner world and better my personality.All in all, I enhance my spiritual cultivation and refine the character.
To sum up, if you want to choose a place where you have acce to open your mind by intercultural communication, and let people accept who you are both physically and spiritually, Tang dynasty will be the perfect place to consider, Now ladies and gentlemen, do you think my explanations are qualified? If it is, the box says you are also qualified to travel with me.Let’s go！
