Secret of Attraction

Timeless Appeal of Slender Waist

The traditional Chinese theory of beauty says that a slender waist and a small waist-to-hip ratio are vital for feminine beauty. The "belle curve" showcases the softness and tenderness of women, fitting in with the aesthetic tastes of Chinese. .

In ancient China a girl with an hourglass-shaped waist made for the perfect figure. Many ancient poems and legends have linked attractiveness with a thin waist. A legend dating to more than 2,000 year ago says that the King of Chu States lusted for narrow waists, leading to starving palace ladies. The Chu Waist was hence added into the vocabulary referring to a slender waist.

An Oriental Sexy Idol

What made a sexy idol for the ancient Chinese? Firm, uplifted buttocks and big breasts may not be the best answer. Instead, the Chinese thought the sexiest part of a woman was her eyebrows which, as mentioned before, were the coverts of her feelings, leading to its name "Rainbows of Affection." A protruding collarbone and a long, elegant neck were also the focus of secondary erogenous zones in China.

Science of Romance

In fact, beauty was not only a matter of physical appearance, but more importantly, as the painting had indicated, was a demand of feudal etiquettes, to be exact, the three obedience and four virtues."

Women's appearance, along with their impeccable morality, proper speech, and diligent housework, were compulsory criteria of good women. In addition, a woman should be obedient to her father before marriage, to her husband after marriage and to her son after her husband's death.

Costume and Ornaments in Tibetan Drama and Dances

Costume and Ornaments in Tibetan Drama and Dances

Tibetan drama and dance drama have their own unique features and the art of the costume and ornaments applied in them are remarkable and have high artistic values. Tibetan drama began to develop in the 14th and 15th centuries and became an independent singing and performing art by the time of the fifth Dalia Lama (1617-1682). There are many schools in Tibetan drama and the ones that have been handed down belong mostly to traditional repertoire.

 

The costume and ornaments of Tibetan drama smack of strong national coloring. Some of them (especially those for the aristocrats) were historically actual garment styles for the aristocrats.

Apart from the practical type, there is also the highly exaggerated theatrical costume. The stories of the drama are mostly legendary and the figures fictional, but they are for the most part derived from actual life, such as Maiden Langsa, Prince Nuosang, and Zuova Sangmu. In Tibetan Drama, there are many gods and ghosts with extreme mysteries. It is only natural that special kinds of make-ups are necessary for them.

Instructions on Inkstone Storage

Opening inkstone: in case the inkstone is blocked in the case, place the inkstone upside down on the desk with a carpet by two hands, knock the case edge lightly to make the inkstone body reveal from the case again, never drag it by a metal tool in order to prevent damage on the inkstone.

Placing inkstone: place the inkstone into the case naturally in line with the original position of the inkstone and the case. Esp. for the rectangular inkstone which is not same in the length on the upper and under edges, and usually the bottom edge is slightly wider than the upper edge and it should be placed according to the width. If it is adversely placed, the case becomes jam-packed and will crack.

In case the case shrinks and can not hold the inkstone body, burnish the inside of the case by sand paper to widen the case. Never burnish on the inkstone as this is as foolish as the action to cut the feet to fit the shoes.

Instructions on Inkstone Storage

Waxing: ancient people had different ideas on waxing. They thought that after waxing, inkstone would be not clear to see the stone, and it would be not so fruitful of ink. This is rather reasonable. Nowadays some people spread wax all over the inkstone, or spread plant oil and even ink to nourish the inkstone and get a primitive sense. But these methods are not good actually. It is acceptable to spread wax and seal the inkstone, but it requires in a proper manner. The wax can be spread around the inkstone, and should be thin and proper at the bottom; never spread wax on the part for grinding ink, because the ink can not be melted in wax and no ink can be produced. It is not reasonable to spread plant oil on inkstone, because plant oil will attract dust, make ink dirty; and with oil in ink, it will smell terrible after a long time, or milden and rot will form in plant oil, leaving speckles on the inkstone surface which will lose the beauty if the speckles can not be washed off.

Cloth art trade in China

Cloth art trade in China

Over the last two decades, the cloth art trade in China has undergone enormous development to become an important part of China's textile industry. Today, China's cloth art trade has reached a new climax, with tens of thousands of enterprises engaged in the production of cloth art products, with annual sales volume totaling billions of meters.

China's cloth art products have matched international levels in terms of variety and quality. However, promoting the development of the domestic economy, the beautification of people's lives, the expansion of exporting capacity and spreading Chinese culture has proven to be a challenge, and the trade still has a long way to go in these regards.

In the days to come, China's cloth art trade will face a great many new challenges: On the domestic market, for example, how will the cloth art trade adapt to the shift from a seller's to a buyer's market; on the international market, how can we improve product quality and maintain their stability; and how can we satisfy the cultural necessities of consumers from different countries. Solving such obstacles demands sound coordination and cooperation in the entire trade business. And various kinds of resources will be needed to strengthen the cloth art trade.

How to Appreciate Chinese Brush Painting

How to Appreciate Chinese Brush Painting

 

It seems everyone is extremely busy in today′s society, often forgetting to relax and enjoy life. In these circumstances, it is interesting to note that the Chinese character for "busy" means "losing one′s mind". In fact many people are beginning to realize that calming activities, which center the mind and counteract the stress of daily life, are necessary for our well being. In this regard, the study of literature, music, dance, painting, etc., can bring joy as well as relaxation and enrichment.

Qing Cheng mountain in the Sichuan province inspired this beautiful landscape by the author.
 
The appreciation of Chinese Painting provides such rewards. One may begin, perhaps, by attending an exhibition, collecting a few paintings or even by beginning to experience painting itself. There are many intriguing aspects to examine in Chinese Painting--the painting technique, the poetry, the calligraphy, the seal, the painter′s central image and theme as well as his or her mounting skills.

By simply distinguishing between paintings you like and those you dislike, you are recognizing the first step of painting appreciation. The next level involves understanding why a painting is good and which aspects are most pleasing to the eye. In order to analyze each painting, it is helpful to be aware of the following areas: composition, use of ink, use of the brush, coloring, mood, poetry, inscription, seal, and mounting.

Asian Jade

Long revered by Asians as the most precious of all stones for centuries,
besides being the most beautiful and valued natural material for making
jewelry and utensils, jade is considered to possess the power of good luck,
good health, and the ability to resist evil spirit and to get rid of bad luck.
Jadeite. The name derives from jade. Because of its fibrous, felt-like
structure, it is very tough and resistant. It occurs in all colors. Fractures
are dull and when polished, greasy, sometimes even pearly in luster.
The most important jadeite deposits are in upper Burma, near Tawmav,
interlayered in serpentinite, or in secondary deposits in conglomerates or in
river gravels. The material found there is exported to China and Hong Kong.
All the Burmese Jade jewelry we carry is manufactured in Hong Kong.
Colors of the Jade: Brown, blackish, violet, green, also white, reddish,
yellow, often spotted.
