A Chinese historian 李宝柱 claims that the Qin Shihuang's tomb was already robbed more than one thousand year ago based on his literature searching, which seems to be a minority view in the academic society.

Actually a lot of relics/ancient tombs have been "discovered" by farmers in China. Some of them are pro/semi-pro tomb looters, and there are even "tomb looters" village, where tomb looting is a kind of family business. Official researches led by archaeologists have been often interrupted, sometimes with violence, by those farmers who try to protect their "commodities". In the case of oracle bone scripts (甲骨文), which were found in 1899, no farmer claimed the right of the first discovery because there were too many farmers who had dug oracle bones out and sold them as Chinese medicine at that time.

Hi yeguohao

Having read your comment, now I would like to see some traditional Chinese operas. Let me try to find some on CCTV first.

> I could not understand the Chinese text/script even till today

Hehe, the same is very true even for native Chinese, but you can fully enjoy these traditional performances if you make good preparations. Actually I love to listen to classical music such as Mathew's Passion and the Magic Flute even though I don't understand at all what they are saying in the works.

Hi zhenlijiang

I'm afraid the American kite is totally new to me. Looks like I was too busy doing a homework assignment to fly a kite in my childhood. And, "ophidiophobia" is also completely new to me. I have a poor memory, but, good or bad, I will never forget the word for the rest of my life, thanks.

> I just can't stand the sight of them and their larvae.

I hate to say this, but actually the well-known monster “Mothra” has "kids", hehe. They fought very bravely with Godzilla!
