"A whole town as a diorama" Topic

That's really a big an impressive work.
"Rows of houses, carts drawn by horses, farmers and officials roam the busy streets, shopkeepers have their shops … all this multifarious Chinese life depicted in a series of paintings "Along the River" by Zhang Song Dynasty Zera (Zhang Zerui). These scenes inspired by our contemporary, talented sculptor Shipina Qin (Qin Shiping) to create a miniature town in full size. Dimensions fit in the area 60 to 300 meters, all the figures, whether human, horse or structure made of clay in the ratio of 2/3 of the actual size.
The idea occurred to Qin in 2005, but implementation of the plan began in 2008 alone. Opening planned for the beginning of Qingming Festival (Qingming Festival), which is what happened. All the while working on the sculpture three people (including myself), the financing of "construction" was carried out by the author. The final cost of the project is unknown, but two years ago flashed figure of 10 million yuan. Apparently, Chin hopes discourage investment, and possibly even make money at the expense of visitors, which is only natural, and in wishing to survey the sight no rebound. Viewers can freely peremeschatsya the street surrounded by clay figures, and your imagination is transferred to the old days of the Song Dynasty"
By translator.

"The Song Dynasty (Chinese: 宋朝; pinyin: Sòng Cháo; Wade-Giles: Sung Ch'ao; IPA: [sʊ̂ŋ tʂʰɑ̌ʊ̯]) was a ruling dynasty in China between 960 and 1279; it succeeded the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period, and was followed by the Yuan Dynasty. It was the first government in world history to nationally issue banknotes or true paper money, and the first Chinese government to establish a permanent standing navy. This dynasty also saw the first known use of gunpowder, as well as first discernment of true north using a compass.

The Song Dynasty is divided into two distinct periods: the Northern Song and Southern Song. During the Northern Song (Chinese: 北宋, 960–1127), the Song capital was in the northern city of Bianjing (now Kaifeng) and the dynasty controlled most of inner China. The Southern Song (Chinese: 南宋, 1127–1279) refers to the period after the Song lost control of northern China to the Jin Dynasty. During this time, the Song court retreated south of the Yangtze River and established their capital at Lin'an (now Hangzhou). Although the Song Dynasty had lost control of the traditional birthplace of Chinese civilization along the Yellow River, the Song economy was not in ruins, as the Southern Song Empire contained 60 percent of China's population and a majority of the most productive agricultural land. The Southern Song Dynasty considerably bolstered its naval strength to defend its waters and land borders and to conduct maritime missions abroad…"
