Apr.27 Second Source

For my primary source, I found a picture named Ladies with Head-pinned Flowers. This a world-wide famous ancient Chinese lady portrait known for its great art value for the ancient Chinese painting skill and the great meaning for historical researchers. For my second sources, I plan to focus on some journal articles. There are three articles I found very useful for my analytical paper. Two of them provide the ideas about how this picture reveals the life in China and why this picture is so valuable from the view of art. Another one wrote by a modern history researcher indicates the life during the age in the picture. All of them suggest that the picture had complex background and can be analysis from different angles. I will generally explain the first two aspects and concentrate on the last point. The papers are in my computer and I cannot exactly remember their titles.

  1. I think finding some background for that paiting maybe helpful and to explain that paiting, it makes a lot of sense to explain the value of the people of that time.

  2. I love that picture and its style! I think it's a good idea to focus on articles, maybe you could add a library book on the subject, too?

    1. LOL. It's so nice to know that you love the picture too. I am trying to find a book for the subject too. But most of them are neither too long nor not that related to my topic.Thank you anyway!

  3. Looking at the picture and your sources, it sounds good. Maybe look at the clothing style and see if that represents anything if it is not explained in your articles. Lastly, look into the crane if your articles dont talk about it because it is a major part of the picture.
