Mirroring China’s Past: Emperors and Their Bronzes
Chinese bronzes (青铜) of the second and first millennia BC are some of the most distinctive achievements in the history of art. These vessels (容器) were made to carry sacrificial offerings, to use in burial or to honor noble families in public ceremonies. When they were found by emperors centuries later, these spiritually significant objects were seen as signs of heavenly messages about a ruler or a dynasty and became prized items in royal collections. This exhibition—the first to explore these ancient objects throughout Chinese history—presents a rare opportunity to experience a large number of these works together in the United States.
Unlike Greek and Roman bronze sculptures of human and animal forms, most objects from Bronze Age China (about 2000 - 221 BC) were vessels for ceremonial use. Beginning with the Song dynasty (960 - 1279), emperors unearthed these symbolic works and began collecting them, considering them to be evidence of their own authority as rulers. In addition to impressive collections the royal fascination with bronzes led to the creation of numerous reproductions and the comprehensive cataloguing of palace holdings. These catalogues are works of art themselves, featuring beautiful drawings and detailed descriptions of each object.
From the 12th century onward, scholars and artists also engaged in collecting and understanding ancient bronzes. Unlike emperors, scholars regarded bronzes as material evidence of their efforts to recover and reconstruct the past, and they occasionally exchanged them as tokens (象征) of friendship. Today ancient bronzes still occupy a primary position in Chinese culture — as historical objects and as signifiers of an important cultural heritage that inspires new generations, as seen in the works of contemporary artists on view in this presentation.
Mirroring China’s Past brings together approximately 180 works from the An Institute of Chicago’s strong holdings and from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, and important museums and private collections in the United States. By providing viewers with a new understanding of ancient bronzes and their significance through time, the exhibition demonstrates China’s fascinating history and its developing present.
1、In what way are Chinese bronzes different from Greek and Roman ones?
A．They fascinated the royal family.
B．They took animal or human forms.
C．They served ceremonial purposes.
D．They were important cultural heritage.
2、What does the author think of catalogues of bronzes?
A．Unreal. B．Creative.
C．Artistic. D．Necessary.
3、What can we infer about the exhibition according to the text?
A．It is held in China. B．It is arranged by time.
C．It is organized by scholars. D．It includes modern artworks.
4、What does the underlined word “holdings” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Viewers. B．Collections.
C．Museums. D．Art dealers.

B
Seattle’s Pike Place Market stretches for four city blocks. It includes a collection of old buildings, bunches of stalls and street musicians and afters that draw both locals and visitors. The themed market wakes up each day at 5:00 a.m. Among the first to arrive are flower vendors and fish mongers (小贩) like Jason Scott.
My stand is known for its tradition of throwing fish before wrapping it up for a customer. I came back out of high school and I’ve been here ever since. I’m 46 now.
Many Pike Place Market stores are family-run and have been around for generations. Russian-speaking immigrants opened Piroshky bakery 25 years ago. Not a lot of people understand what Piroshky is. People think sometimes it’s a last name, so we do have to educate people a lot. If you go to Russia and you go to a market like this, you could hear the latest scream out - Piroshky, Piroshky and that’s why we call it Piroshky.
Next to Piroshky is a Chinese bakery called Mee Sum pastry. It’s owned by the third generation of the Fong family. They call their signature pastry, the best and biggest combos (套餐) in towns. Like Chinese hamburger, you can put chicken or puppy kibble or crispy even vegetable in it.
But in this sprawling (无序扩展的) market, one of the most unusual places isn’t a food or craft stall. It’s the gum wall where people can stick their tiny chewed up clump on a roll. Apparently, they don’t give it much thought, trying to be original. This gum wall started about 20 years ago when the theater asked people not to bring gum inside because they didn’t want it under the seats, so people would put gum up on the outside.
Market officials initially tried to clear the sticky stuff off the wall, but new gum always reappeared so they finally gave up. The gum wall quickly became a tourist attraction. And just like that, the gum wall turned into an attraction, highlighting a more unusual side of Seattle that locals and visitors love.
1、What do we know about Seattle’s Pike Place Market?
A．It’s small and delicate. B．It’s tidy and in order.
C．It’s special and attractive. D．It’s modern and new.
2、What is Piroshky?
A．A Russian-speaking immigrant. B．A kind of baked pies.
C．People’s last name. D．A Chinese bakery.
3、How does the writer find the gum wall?
A．It should be cleared away.

B．It shows the special side of Seattle.
C．It is made on purpose.
D．It resulted from the market officials’ wrong decision.
