Two greatest artists of Chinese three perfections
Historically in China, calligraphy is often included in paintings because painting and calligraphy are usually regarded as an inseparable and dependent whole. Typically, after a painter finished his work, he would put his name and seal on it. More importantly, sometimes he even wrote a short poem that expressed his current feeling on the painting. Those three, which include painting, poetry and calligraphy, are called three perfections and appreciated as a unique style in visual arts. Michael Sullivan, the author of The Three Perfections: Chinese Painting, Poetry and Calligraphy, once mentions an idea in his book, “Both poetry and painting are scholars’ occupations which help to express human moods and feelings”(Michael 1980, 17). Since the combination of painting and calligraphy, artists like Zheng Banqiao 郑板桥 (1693-1765) who is the most famous painter in early Qing, or modern painter like Qi Baishi 齐白石 (1864-1957) can express their feeling more fully. Although these two calligraphers are from different historical periods, they share remarkable similarities. Both of them are masters of expressing their feeling through nature images and poems. Also they both are excellent at regular and cursive script style. More importantly, using three perfections help them to express feelings more fully. I will discuss Mozhu Tutishi 墨竹图题诗 (a painting of bamboo with poem) by Zheng and Xia 虾 (shrimp) by Qi to demonstrate this.
First of all, Zheng and Qi are totally different from historical period, degree of education, career and personalities. Zheng Banqiao 郑板桥 (1693-1765), who was born in Xinghua, Jiangsu Province, is known as one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. When Zheng was born, his family had come down in the world. Although they were scratching a living, his father still sent him to private school for purchasing better education. At age eight, Zheng could write poems under his father’s guide. When he was twenty years old, he passed the civil examination and became a scholar. Because his father died after two years later, he was living in a worse life. Therefore, Zheng started to sell his works on the market in Yangzhou. After that, he went to Beijing. Because he always discussed academics with other scholars or Buddhists, he made the acquaintance of Shen Junwang 慎郡王 ( Prince Shen of the Second Rank). Luckily, at that time the government lacked a magistrate. Therefore, Prince Shen recommended Zheng and Zheng began his career. However, Zheng was indifferent to fame and wealth. He didn’t care about power and money at all. As a result, he offended his boss and dispatched to countryside. On the other hand, Qi Baishi was totally different from Zheng Banqiao. In 1864, Qi Baishi was born in Changsha, Hunan. Because his family was so poor and could not afford his tuition, his grandfather started to teach him writing words. When he became older, in order to support his family, he started to work as a woodw ...

The poem depicts the degraded conditions that people living in poverty endure. A fisherman, in a state of hunger, offers his 15-year old daughter to a stranger in exchange for money or food. In his lean-to hut, the fisherman persuades the man to have sex with his daughter, as he must leave and the daughter is alone. The man hesitates, feeling guilty, but also understands the physical hunger the two endure that drives such an act. The daughter is malnourished but obediently opens herself, showing the dehumanizing effects of prolonged poverty. The poem illustrates how hunger can compromise one's morality and humanity.
Code mixing in ice candy man
Bapsi Sidhwa is a Pakistani author who writes in English and lives in America. Her novel Ice Candy Man takes place during the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan, depicting the human rights violations and conditions people faced. Through the character of Lenny, a Parsee girl, Sidhwa shows how the political changes affected citizens. The novel realistically represents the exploitation and abuse of women. Sidhwa uses code mixing by including Urdu and Punjabi words in conversations to give the story a local flavor and connect to the languages commonly spoken in Pakistan. This novel was one of the first by a Pakistani woman author to describe the experiences of people in Lahore during the partition.
Poetry Analysis
The document discusses analyzing poetry through close reading and identifying literary devices. It explains that a poetry explication attempts to describe the meaning and relationships between stylistic devices in a poem. Some common figurative language devices found in poetry are mentioned, including metaphor, which draws comparisons between two unlike things, and simile, which uses "like" or "as" to directly compare two things. The analysis of poems through identifying these literary techniques is important for fully understanding the poet's intended meaning and message.

Fiction and art: Their connection
Both the language and the artistic language used in everyday communication are both informative and informative. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the nature of the information transmitted here. If the communication provided by the language of communication is simply informative, the artistic language provides the artistic information and, in this case, the communication language is the means of communication, the artistic language promotes the artistic dialogue by Azimova Shahrinoz Ikramovna 2020.
