CCTV9英语新闻：南京马为主题的展览馆开幕
时间：2019-02-03 作者：英语课 分类：CCTV9英语新闻2014年01月
One of the three largest museums in China-the Nanjing Museum-is hosting an exhibition themed on horses to usher 1 in the Chinese New Year.
Antiques made from a variety of materials demonstrate the evolving history of the relationship between man and horse. And the 55 artworks on display here span a period of 1,500 years.
In Chinese culture the horse is auspicious 2, but combined with other zodiac animals it has historically taken on more specific meanings.
Highlights at the venue 3 include eight horse paintings by Ignatius Sickeltart, who took the Chinese name Ai Qimeng and worked as a royal painter in the Qing Dynasty court.
Every picture is of a life-sized horse, and this is the first time ever for them to be exhibited
