Synopsis
Excerpt from Pictures From the Land of Sina
To attempt the proper understanding of Chinese, or. Any other pictures, it should be borne in mind that drawing is as much an expression of the aspirations and emotions as speech or music. The psychology of a people is presented in their, art.
The Chinese is contemplative, introspective and highly imaginative; and to him, as to nearly all Orientals, man is unimportant in relation to the Cosmos.
