Beijing Zoo

( 2008-07-08 )

Situated in the Xicheng District, Beijing Zoo was the first of its kind to be opened in China. The zoo contains a diverse collection of animals, a number of exhibition halls and some sites of historical interest.

The zoo is home to around 900 different species and has a population of some 20,000 animals. Some of the most popular attractions among visitors are the wild and rare animals of China itself, such as the pandas, golden monkeys, milu deer and northeast tigers. However, the collection is far from
restricted to those species found only in the People's Republic of China; the polar bears, American bison, zebras, kangaroos, giraffes and elephants also draw large crowds.

The Beijing Zoo site is comprised of 16 different exhibition areas and halls. One of the most popular of these is the Panda Hall. Built in 1989 and covering an area of around 10,000 square meters (2.5 acres), it delivers an impressive aesthetic scene while also managing to account for the
practical considerations of housing such large and physical animals. The inside of the hall replicates the style of traditional Chinese gardens and is shaped in the pattern of a Tai Chi diagram.

Another of the zoo's famous halls, the Gorilla Hall, was constructed two years earlier in 1987. The building houses a series of artificial hillocks and wooden apparatus for the animals which sit against a backdrop of attractive gorilla murals. Facilities introduced for the gorillas include a
medical room, a mating room and a specialist feeding room. The hall itself is decorated by a series of rockeries and pools.

All of the zoo's halls and exhibition areas are constructed so as to ensure that the animals enjoy a both comfortable and healthy living environment.

Five-Animal Exercises

( 2008-07-07 )

The Five-Animal Exercises created by Hua Tuo were a set of medical Qigong (breathing exercises) mainly characterized by imitating animals’ actions and expressions in order to prevent and cure illness and prolong life. Five-Animal Exercises in Chinese is “Wuqinxi”, in which the “Wuqin”
generally refers to all animals including birds and beasts; the “Xi” at that time referred to activities such as singing, dancing or acrobatics, and here it means special way of exercises. Hua Tuo was the person who actually systemized the exercises and promoted it to the public.

The Five-Animal Exercises is a qigong practice imitating animal movements and manners with disease prevention, medical treatment and vitality promotion as the major functions. Qin means beast and generally referred to animals in ancient times. Xi referred to activities such as acrobatics in
ancient times and refers hereby specifically to special movements. Wuqin Xi is also known as the Five-animal Exercise or Wuqin Qigong. The one who summed up and promoted Wuqin Xi was Hua Tuo.

Wuqin Xi is consisted of 5 groups of actions imitating the movement of the tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird. It is a bionic exercise. Regular exercising of Wuqin Xi can dredge the main and collateral channels, regulate Qi and blood, nourish the viscera and strengthen muscle and bones sooth joint
activities, and thus achieves the purpose of disease prevention and life prolonging.

Enjoying the fame of "Aesculapius", Hua Tuo (145 – 208 AD) is a famous highly-skilled doctor of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. He was born in a common Shizu family in the late Eastern Han Period and lived in the same period with another renowned doctor Zhang Zhongjing. Based on his rich
experience in medical treatment, Hua Tuo compiled a medical book, which was regrettably not handed down. The existing Zhongzang Classic by Hua Tuo was compiled by people in the Song Dynasty, probably containing partial content of Hua Tuo's book remaining at that time.

Learning Chinese - How to Bargain when shopping in Beijing

| 繁体 | 简体 | English |

How to Bargain when shopping in Beijing

( 2008-06-27 )

Q: How to bargain when shopping in Beijing

A: Bargaining is the rule here in Beijing, at least, this is the case at many markets and street-level clothes stalls. The tips here are Beijing specific but may help you anywhere in the world where bargaining is practiced.

DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item unless nearing the end of the process. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price. DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB as long as you have a big smile. DO keep smiling throughout,
the seller is much more likely to continue bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry rarely gets you the price you want.

BE AWARE that the initial price offered by the seller is usually at least 40% over the general price acceptable and can be up to 500% over. DO have an idea of what the item is worth. You can ask Chinese friends, hotel staff, etc. DO walk away once you've given them your final price, even before.
If you get called back, you know you are close. If you do not get called back, go to a similar stall and try again with a slightly higher price.

Realism, Surrealism in Contemporary Art

The exhibition shows three of the most prominent representatives of this modern "converted realism."

Realistic depictions are commonly found throughout the history of Chinese art. Still, each era has its own perspective. The interpretations and transformations of reality, reveal social and political changes in China over time.

During the 1980's, one group of burgeoning artists became among the first to meld artistic influences from the West, with their own artistic roots. These artists were seeking an escape from the formalism of a tradition which they believed had gone stale. The results of their experiments are
presented in a new exhibition. "Facing Reality: Selections of Chinese Contemporary Art", opened at the National Museum of Fine Arts, Tuesday afternoon.

The exhibition shows three of the most prominent representatives of this modern "converted realism." A more sober form of social reality, is emphasized, in the tension that exists between the individual and the collective. Social liberty and political power are mirrored among the grinning faces of
bald heads. These are self images revealed in a series of paintings by Fang Lijun. Similar, repetitive images may be seen in a couple of oils from Yue Minjun. The heads and faces bear a grotesque, satirical mien - as if the artist is poking fun at himself.

Zhang Xiaogang's family portraits

Zhang Xiaogang's family portraits -black and white oils with occasional flashes of color - are based on his family photos. Surreal elements and metaphorical turns are affected, through small blotches of color and the through the evident similarity of the faces.

World's Most Beautiful Book to Come to China

Results of the 2008 competition “THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOKS IN THE WORLD” has just been unveiled. A Chinese book, AFTER, published by Tianjin Yangliuqing Fine Art Press, won the prize. This is the fifth consecutive year that books from China have won the title of “the most beautiful book in
the world.”

The competition is held every March in Leipzig, Germany, organized by the "Stiftung Buchkunst" (Germany book art foundation). Competition judges examine about 700 works from 30 countries or so to select the most beautiful of the year.

The main focus is on books as objects of utility. Legibility and factors like size, weight, the color of the paper and its contrast to the script are all factors that are reviewed by the jury, which means that the criterion include not only design but also the concept and perfect technical
workmanship. According to organizers, the beauty of books lies in the fact that they surpass two-dimensional constraints in their cover, design concept, paper, printing and binding. Stiftung Buchkunst demonstrated this in an exhibition featuring titles that won the "Most Beautiful Books in the
World" competition over the past years.

The gold prize winner of the year, designed by Geng Geng and Wang Chengfu, is adorned with an “octopus,” Jiang Nan, editor in charge of the book said. The white-grounding book has an octopus-design on its cover, and an attached garnet slipcase. On first sight after unsealing the book the
result visually impacting and special, he said.

The prize-winning works have been taken on many tours inside Germany and abroad, including to the world's leading book fairs in Frankfurt and Leipzig. This international exhibition introduces more than 200 award-winning titles published in the last 17 years, from 1991 to 2007.

In 2003, The Picture Book of Mei Lanfang's Opera Portfolio from China won the only gold prize. Beginning the same year, Shanghai News and Press Bureau has organized the examination and appraisal of "the Most Beautiful Books in China" in order to select books for the following year's "The Most
Beautiful Book in the World" competition. By the end of last year, there were a total 85 books that have taken part in the Leipzig contest 4 times, and among those 5 have won the award.

Chinese Character - Huizhou-Style Print

Subscribe to free Email Newsletter

Created in China>Art Treasures>Chinese Crafts and Fine Arts>Chinese Painting>list

Huizhou-Style Print

Enjoying the reputation of being the manufacturing center for paper and Chinese ink, Huizhou boasted many adept painters and engravers. The most famous engravers in Huizhou were the Huang Clan from Yachuan Village. Willing to learn from each other and striving for the best, they eventually rose to
the leading position in the Chinese prints industry. Many evidences prove that Huizhou-style Print was a great success with various kinds of schools.

With hair-like thin and soft lines and finely carved surroundings like hills, stones, bricks, and windows, Zhuangyuantukao (Number one scholars) and Guifan (Guidelines for maidens) done by people from the Huang clan in Yachuan Village well demonstrate the adeptness of the engravers. Their works
are not only finely engraved and painted, but also could serve as a mirror reflecting the development of the society at that time.

Ilustrations by Huang Tingke（1582）

For instance, four Christian prints sent to Cheng Junfang by Matteo RICCI, an Italian missionary in China, were copied in Chengximoquan, a piece of representative works by the Huang clan. This demonstrates that block-print once served as a bridge to enhance the art communication between China and
the Western countries.

Not confining themselves to their hometown, craftsmen in Huizhou widely spread to other regions, such as Hangzhou, Suzhou, Jiaxing, and Nanjing. They naturally brought the styles of Huizhou Print with them to wherever they arrived.
