Part A
This is one of the greatest masterpieces of Chinese landscape painting. When westerners first discovered Chinese paintings like this one, they could not see their value. To understand painting, you need to understand calligraphy. the characteris not a picture of an object in the real world but a symbol for an idea. As Chinese characters are symbols for ideas so elementsin a Chinese landscape, rocks, water, trees and mountains, became symbols of concepts. For the Chinese, pictures painted with a brush are symbols that carry both the surface meaning and additional hidden meanings. Chinese paintings are not just pretty pictures. They mean something.

Tapescript: The Rice is Back Tom and Mary were brother and sister. They lived in the same village. Tom had many children to feed and Mary also had a big family to raise. They worked very hard every day on their farms. They were poor but both lived a happy life. One year, there was little rain and rice did not grow well. They got the smallest harvest ever. At night, Tom could not sleep, worrying that Mary might not have enough food to survive the long winter. He got up and went to its farm house where he filled a bag with rice. Then he went to Mary’s house and secretly added the rice to her pile. Every night, when everyone was asleep, Tom did the same thing. After two weeks, Tom noticed something strange. His pile did not seem to be any smaller. He decided to find out what had happened. One midnight, he hid himself in the farm house and waited. After a while, a shadow appeared. Tom was surprised to find it was Mary. She was coming in carrying a bag of rice. She had been doing the same thing, taking her rice and adding it to Tom’s pile. |
