An Interesting Day

An Interesting Day 

            The US independence day is coming, people have three days holiday. As a famous travel city, Chicago ’s downtown also has more visitors than usual. Today, the wether is very good, the sky is very beautiful. I went to visit The Field Museum. Because now it is during holiday, When I arrived the Field Museum, I saw a lot of people around the Field Museum. But fortunately, I didn’t spend too many times to wait in line. As soon as I entered the Field Museum . Field Museum as one of the largest natural history museum in the world, it include many different cultures exhibition from around the world, such as Indian culture, Mongolia culture, New Land culture and so on. Also, there have many adorable and funny animals and insects exhibition. I am very interested in these things, and I was going to spend an interesting day.

            First of all, When I stood at Field museum, I saw two huge icons. one is dinosaur icon, the other is elephants icon. I still very interested in elephants because elephants is friendly and smart animals. Even though they have a large size, but their nose is very dexterity. In India, Elephant always help man's work, such as transport wood and take care of baby. Two elephants icon of Filed Museum are very realistic. I thought they are mother-child relationship. Their eyes are gentle. From the information presentation, I knew they are African elephants. Today, the number of African elephants have been decreasing because human demand for ivory is threatening the species’ survival. On the other hand, human started to aware of this problem, some people already did some protect elephant work. 

            Then, I was attracted by the noisy buzz. In fact, I am familiar with these noisy buzz. When I heard these voice, I thought summer is coming. That noisy buzz is male cicadas to produce “songs” to attract females. I heard three different species “song”, among them, the third “song” was the most  resonant and sonorous，and the first “song” is the most lowering. Every cicada develop underground for 17 years before emerging as adults. They are come from Asian. So in China, cicadas are a common symbol in art and culture. In addition, they’re mostly harmless-just noisy. If person have patience, they can spend some time to listen cicadas’s “song”. May be they will discover some interesting things.

            

             

         Finally, I visited the jades exhibition. Most of Chinese people all very like jade. In  China’s culture, jade symbolizes nobility and honesty, but also can be used to ward off evil. Today, I also saw a lot of exquisite jades. For instance, imperial book and musical instruments form jade. These people make jade craft is amazing, Even though today's technology is very advanced, when I saw these jade artwork, I still amazing their craft.

         In conclusion, the Field Museum is a amazing place. I saw different animals and artwork, I had a interesting day. Certainly, there are many places I did not to visit, such as different cultures exhibition. Visiting Field Museum can growth in our knowledge, In the future, I will come again.
