Huashan Rock Painting

[Wikipedia] Rock Paintings of Hua Mountain

The Zuojiang Huashan Rock Art Cultural Landscape (Chinese: 花山壁画; pinyin: Huāshān Bìhuà) is an extensive assembly of historical rock art that were painted on limestone cliff faces in Guangxi, southern China over a period of several hundred years at least. The paintings are located on the west bank of the Ming River (Chinese: 明江; pinyin: Míng Jiāng; literally: Bright River) which is a tributary of the Zuo River. The area of the paintings is part of the Nonggang Nature Reserve and belongs to the Town of Yaoda in Ningming County. On July 15, 2016, Zuojiang Huashan Rock Art Cultural Landscape were listed as World Heritage Site. It is the 49th World Heritage Site in China.
The main painted area along the cliff has a width of about 170 metres (560 ft) and a height of about 40 metres (130 ft) and is one of the largest rock paintings in China. The paintings are located between 30 metres (98 ft) and 90 metres (300 ft) above the river's water level. The main area contains about 1900 discrete countable images arranged in about 110 groups. The paintings have a red color and were executed using a mixture of red ochre (hematite), animal glue, and blood. They depict human figures as well as animals along with bronze drums, knives, swords, bells, and ships. Human figures are typically between 60 centimetres (24 in) and 150 centimetres (4.9 ft) tall, but one figure reaches 3 metres (9.8 ft) in height.
The paintings are believed to be between 1800 and 2500 or between 1600 and 2400 years old. The period of their creations hence spans the times from the Warring States period to the late Han Dynasty in the history of China. Many of the paintings are thought to illustrate the life and rituals of the ancient Luo Yue people, who are believed to be ancestors of the present-day Zhuang people and inhabited the valley of Zuo River during this period. However, recent carbon dating suggests that the oldest paintings were executed around 16,000 years ago whereas the youngest are around 690 years old.
An exhibition in the Zhuang Nationality Museum in the City of Chongzuo (崇左市壮族博物馆) is dedicated to the history and interpretation of the paintings.

广西两迎亲队伍各不相让 互射烟花激战4小时 China wedding feud in Guangxi erupts into street battle

2016年4月10日报道，广西玉林市博白县有两户村民办婚礼，双方迎亲队在路中相遇，由于有感同日办喜宴兼狭路相逢是“不吉利”，加上双方在路上又各不相让，结果引发争执，继而爆发激烈冲突。双方从当日下午2时一直互相抛掷烟花、追打火拼，直到傍晚6时许才结束。
当地警员接报赶到现场时，身穿红色衬衣的年轻人仍然手拿刀棍、土制火炮等武器，与另一支迎亲队伍激战。据悉，参与打斗的是双方亲友，而导致冲突原因是其中一名林姓的人家，在村道一处路口搭建了迎亲彩门，而另外一家齐姓的迎亲队伍也想从该道路经过，但林姓家人觉得让对方经过自家搭建的彩门“不吉利”，因而掀起这场大战。
A feud between rival families holding weddings on the same day in a southern Chinese village erupted into a four-hour street battle, report local media.
The violence broke out in the Guangxi region on Sunday when one wedding procession tried to pass under an archway built for the other family.
Images showed relatives and guests fighting with knives and improvised explosives made out of fireworks.
Police arrived and made several arrests. There were no casualties.
Local reports said the incident began when the processions for the Lin and Qi families met and both sides refused to give way to each other.

Both sides also felt that the fact that they were holding their wedding celebrations at the same time on the same narrow road was inauspicious.
The violence kicked off when the Qis proceeded down the road where the Lins had already constructed their decorative archway.

Explosion Triggered by Illegally Made Explosives Kills Five in Guangxi

An explosion triggered by illegally-made explosives leveled a two-story residential building on Thursday in Nanning City of south China's Guangxi Region, killing five people, officials said.

The explosion happened at Shanglong Village, Baishan Town, Mashan County at about 13:00 and shocked neighboring buildings' doors and windows.

The building collapsed, with the nearby buildings being severely damaged. The nearby roads are teemed with pieces of window glass, fallen wire posts and an overturned car.

Villagers said the explosion happened at lunch break and terrified them.

I was sleeping at home at the time. On hearing the loud noise, I was scared and rushed outside as I did not dare to stay at home. And then I saw the village was filled with thick smoke. I dashed to the site but did not know what happened at the time, said a villager of Shanglong Village.

Villagers said the resident in the building has lived in the county city for years and seldom come back.

Local authorities evacuated more than 100 villagers near the site to safety immediately after the explosion happened.

The preliminary survey shows that the explosion was caused by a resident's improper operation when illegally making explosives.

According to the on-site investigation and visits to residents, we preliminarily confirm that it is an accidental explosion triggered by illegally-made explosives, said Nong Jianjun, deputy chief of the People's Government of Mashan County.

The police officers are investigating the source of the raw materials and the use of the explosives.
