42 Postcards a Day...!

At this very moment.. i was left speechless with so much Joy in my heart.. after patiently waiting for almost 2months, non stop sending ( I have been sending 88 postcards from Sept 13  – Nov 1st ) and today is the day,arrival of 42Postcards in my postbox! 42 postcards from 8 Countries.. can you imagine my heart beating faster than usual :D This is one of the best feelings which can never be explained in words. The long lost excitement is finally here again... i was moved to tears.

Each of these Postcards contains a little beating heart and loads of love. It is a fleeting moment of connection with a stranger.. you see, Life is a series of beautiful encounters.. don't you agree?:)The joy of sending and receiving postcards cannot be described but has to be experienced, and it doesn't matter how many postcards you've sent,it's important that you can brighten up someone's day :)

Postcrossing has always been a safe space for me where i could relax and have interesting conversations with nice peoples around the world. There are so many warm-hearted people here who go the extra mile just to put a smile on a stranger's face.and for me personally, It's more than just a hobby: it's a therapy, something that helps me deal with the consequences of being an introvert.. It's a wonderful way to stay connected,  and to learn about cultures, language and help me a lot in improving my english.

Postcrossing is the embodiment of hope, In this fast-moving world, it reminds us to be patient and accept there are things that are beyond our control..
( sent 88 and waiting for your turn to received postcards is another level of patience😅 )

Inside The Yellow Earth, China Losses Plateau

In China, the Yellow Earth usually refers to the loess plateau in the country's northern part. The plateau is acknowledged as the birthplace of the Chinese nationality. The Tomb of Emperor Huang, Said to be the ancestor of the Chinese people, still locates on the northern Shaanxi province. The name of the Yellow River is also originated from the Yellow Earth. Accordingly, the Yellow Earth is considered by many the synonym of China.

Geographically, the loess plateau is situated in the central part of North China with an area of thou sands of square kilometers and its altitude averaging 800 till 1,200 meters above the sea level. The place is one of China's driest regions partially owing to the overcultivation and soil eresión. For the past centuries, people in the region developed a special cave dwelling, or Yao Dong. They dig vertically at the sunny slope of the hills till they finally finish an arch - roofed cave.
The poor transport means and inaccessibility to information solidifies the evolution of productive methods and people's lifestyles. Farmers in the region still cultivate lands with manual powers and the harvest relies heavily on unpredictable climate. The most grandeur sacrificial ritual in the plateau is the rain - praying ceremony. Every year before the spring plantation, farmers throng atop hills to offer sacrifices for the Dragon King, the legendary rain god, for favorable climate and bumper harvest in the coming year.

The most cheerful occasion for the poor peasants there, as in other parts of China, is the Spring Festi-val. Every Spring Festival, every household would ardently decorate its home and put exquisite paper— cuttings on windows. Farmers in colorful or grotesque costumes organize their own parades to neighboring villages for exchanging new year greetings. The carnival forms a sharp contrast with the stable, lonely and hardship routine life in the Yellow Earth in most of the year. The Chinese history seems solidify in the region for the lifestyle remains unchanged for several thousands of years in the plateau.

The reform and opening — up drive in recent years also shed light on the lives of the people in the plateau. Part of the families, though still live in the caves, now have radios or TVs. The outside world is not totally alien for them. However, most of them still confine themselves in the Yellow Earth. Inside the plateau, besides the countless untold have been told. stories about an ancient civilization, some new tales about new lives..

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall was continuously built from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD on the northern border of the country as the great military defence project of successive Chinese Empires, with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. The Great Wall begins in the east at Shanhaiguan in Hebei province and ends at Jiayuguan in Gansu province to the west. Its main body consists of walls, horse tracks, watch towers, and shelters on the wall, and includes fortresses and passes along the Wall.

The Great Wall reflects collision and exchanges between agricultural civilizations and nomadic civilizations in ancient China. It provides significant physical evidence of the far-sighted political strategic thinking and mighty military and national defence forces of central empires in ancient China, and is an outstanding example of the superb military architecture, technology and art of ancient China. It embodies unparalleled significance as the national symbol for safeguarding the security of the country and its people.
