Masterpieces of Chinese wisdom. Painting and aphorisms calendar

Quote
"The sky looks blue, but is it his real color? The sky looks unlimited, but is this his real limit? " (Zhuang Tzu)
What about the book
The traditions of Chinese art are such that each work is simultaneously an object and text, that is, a system of signs that can read, because any object has its own symbolic meaning. And in Chinese painting, for example, in the landscape, the implied movement towards wisdom, perfection is necessarily depicted. If you look, you will see a path that leads a traveler among the mountain valleys and slopes up, where a secluded hut is hiding, and a hermit lives in the hut, to which the Wanderer directs its path. Confucius said that humanity and knowledge are similar to waters and mountains. And water is one of the main images of wisdom and wise behavior in the Chinese tradition. Therefore, we recommend that you contemplate the paintings and think about the quotes of famous authors, finding parallels and similarities and based on the organic affinity of wise statements of antiquity with traditional masterpieces of Chinese painting
