Chinese Snuff Bottles For Shoppers In Beijing

By Andy Lao

With their unique beauty and design, Chinese snuff bottles are admired by art fans the world over. What started as a convenient item for holding powdered tobacco later attracted generations of artists who decorated snuff bottles with some of the most exquisite, sophisticated Chinese artwork. Though incredibly small, snuff bottles have been in huge demand both in the past and today. Shoppers in Beijing have a unique opportunity to check out the elegant snuff bottles in the city's local shops.

Despite its small size, a snuff bottle can be decorated with almost all types of art, including paintings, calligraphy, cloisonne, or lacquer. To symbolize their wealth and power, rich people often used very precious materials, like gold, jade, emeralds, pearls, or ivory to make their snuff bottles and decorated them with images made by great artisans. Art fans are sometimes awed by the exquisite, breathtaking beauty of a custom-made snuff bottle.

Though a uniquely Chinese item, the snuff bottle was invented based on the snuff box used by the Europeans. It is believed that they were first made in the late Ming dynasty, right after Chinese began to smoke tobacco imported from the west. In the early Qing dynasty, it became very popular, as people started to use exquisitely made snuff bottles to show their status and taste in art.

Smoking tobacco was actually banned during the Qing dynasty, but an exception was made for people who used snuff bottles and inhaled tobacco through their nose, because snuff was believed to be an effective remedy that could cure many illnesses. Many Chinese emperors during this period were lovers of snuff bottles. The Emperor Daoguang even ordered a workshop be built inside the Forbidden City to produce such bottles. In the 1970s, Artists revived the art of making snuff bottles after decades of political turmoil and began to use modern techniques to create new kinds of bottles.

Art connoisseurs especially love a unique, interesting class of snuff bottle - the "inside painted bottle." Invented in the late Qing dynasty, these bottles quickly became one of the hottest items in the art market. People like such bottles not only because of their practical value - the pictures painted inside almost never fade - but also because of their extremely complex craftsmanship - only the best of the best artisans are able to paint pictures on the inside of a bottle. Ever since the 1970s, the fever for "inside painted bottles" seems to have increased each year.

Cultural Note: There is a story concerning the origin of "inside painted bottle." The late Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty was a time when corruption was widespread in China. A low-ranking official was one of a few good people working in the government who abhorred bribery. Because he was not willing to give bribes, when he worked on an assignment in Beijing, the corrupted officials in the imperial court never took him seriously, and asked him to wait indefinitely.

The waiting was endless, and soon the official had spent all his money. Penniless, he had to move into a Buddhist temple to live with monks. He soon found that his tobacco was also running out. One day, he discovered the only tobacco left was a little powder in his snuff bottle, so he tried to use a stick to scrape it out. A monk sitting next to him noticed this, and thought of a new idea. Later, using a sharpened stick as tool, the monk experimented with painting images on the inside of snuff bottle and the first "inside painted bottle" was made.

Different materials can be used to give snuff bottles different looks. Early on, six main types of snuff bottles were categorized according to the materials used to make them. They are glass bottles, porcelain bottles, jade bottles, amber bottles, agate bottles, and tourmaline bottles. Snuff bottle lovers usually have a large collection of bottles made of all these different materials.

Shop for exquisite snuff bottles in the local shops when you are in Beijing, because they are too good to miss. Some great shops have bottles made by famous artisans in China. You can find a personal shopper to help you find the right places to go shopping.

Xbox 360 Games at Their Finest

By Larry Moon

Searching for an Xbox 360 game can be a little bit tough, because of the amount of titles that are piled on retail shelves daily. The reason there are so many titles on the shelf for Xbox is because they were the pioneer of the seventh generation gaming consoles that were released. The newest games that come out for the Xbox 360 are almost $60 no matter what the title is. So instead of going out and blowing your money on a cool game that looks awesome on the box, you should consider these titles.

One of the top games last year based on reviews from very well known gaming sites was Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was developed by the same company that made Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and is an engrossing action role-playing game with post World War II setting. The Character levelling system, unreal graphics, and open-ended game play earned Fallout 3 some of the highest marks last year from reviewing sites. So if you were an Elder Scrolls IV fan you will definitely be a fan of Fallout 3.

In 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV was given several "game of the year" awards for its lasting game play, and excellent presentation. GTA IV was one of the most highly anticipated and also highly contested games of the year because of its graphic nature. But we can assure you that this game is one of the best of the year, and even has an extra episode that you can download via Xbox Live, with more due later this year.

If you prefer treating yourself in a darker atmosphere, consider playing Dead Space. Dead Space is recognized by reviewers as the "World's Scariest Game". That should be more than enough to buy this thrilling third-person shooter.

Evolved 2 is the next game listed here for people not wanting to spend $60 on a video game. This game was given high levels of commendation as the best Xbox Live arcade game on the market at the time it was released to the public. Because it is an Xbox Live arcade title you can pick up for a bit less than a normal brand new game.

XBOX 360 Mod Chip?

If you are looking for a more economically sound game, then Evolved 2 is the best on the list. Because it is an Xbox Live arcade title you can pick it up in stores for quite a bit less than your normal brand new titles. Evolved 2 were praised as the best arcade title out there at the time of its release leaving no doubt that it's worth the money.

Another game that made headlines this year was a game called Braid. This is an interesting but extremely fun game that will stimulate your mind, and make you think. Puzzle games can be challenging but the musical score, and story line come very high touted by review sites.

There are many more Xbox live games that are worth playing. This best way to find these games is to check out the game review websites and see what reviews have the highest scores. The Xbox live is an excellent system to have if you want lots of gaming options.
