On The Field Research - Islamic Art Museum

It was my very first time visiting the Islamic Art Museum where it really inspire me a lot and I do discovered many thing throughout the journey. For examples regarding the culture, Islamic art, the architecture of the mosque built, the shapes, textures, area of the building and many more..
Besides, I also get to know more about the Islamic art through the information given for each individual things.And students also get to listen to what the tourist introduce about the art and things there.

Islamic art of China
The culture and also the Islamic art of China makes me really curious. I tend to find out more information regrading the Islamic Art through the internet. And I have discovered that there are actually many interesting things for the Islam in China. 
I research and read about how the Islam get into China and also about their culture and art of Islam in China.

The Great Mosque in Xian
It is one of the oldest, largest and best-preserved Islamic mosques in China and its location is northwest of the Drum Tower (Gu Lou) on Huajue Lane. 

In Xian, it is really well worth a trip to see the Great Mosque, not only for its centuries-old history but also for its particular design of mixed architecture - traditional Muslim and Chinese styles.

Islam Calligraphy Art in China
Calligraphy is one of the most prestigious art forms in Islamic and in Chinese culture.The styles of calligraphy used in writing Arabic are mostly different among each others.
But according to Islamic mythology, the Chinese invented the pen, and it was from China that fine paper was first brought into the Islamic world. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that unique forms of Islamic calligraphy have emerged in China.
