• Chinese.
• By the time of the Song (960-1278) and Yuan (1278-1367) Dynasties, woodblock art was thriving. ...
• In the production of the traditional Chinese print, drawing, engraving and printing were separate processes performed by different people and, with some notable exceptions, the creators of traditional prints were viewed as artisans, not artists. ... In the terminology of Chinese art, they do duplicating or multiple image production, and the engraver's name and the studio that organized the collaboration are often indicated.
• But although all the the prints in our exhibition are multiples, or duplicates, in the sense that more than one image has been printed from the blocks, most of them differ from traditional Chinese prints both in style and method of production and are not referred to in the Chinese literature as duplicated images. ... 1 Lu Xun (1881-1936) said of them, "they are European in method and have nothing to do with ancient Chinese woodblock printing. ...
• In the 1930s, Lu Xun, whom Mao Zedong called "the chief commander of the revolution in Chinese culture," brought about this revolution in Chinese woodblock printing by his unceasing efforts. ... 3 But it was only in the 1930s, when Lu Xun decided that European printmaking techniques must be widely introduced into China and promoted the Creative Print Movement in a planned and determined way, that the European approach to the art came to have an important role in China's New Culture Movement. Lu Xun imported prints by Western printmakers, organized classes in creative woodblock techniques, acquired the necessary tools, and organized exhibitions of both Western and new Chinese prints. The style that emerged is called the Creative, or New, Chinese woodblock, to differentiate it from the duplicating woodblock of traditional production.
• Before this, modern theorists such as Chen Duxiu (1879-1942) and Kang Youwei (1858- 1927) had argued that art could have amelioritive effects on society and had called for a revolution in fine art, but the result had been only formal change: some Chinese artists began practicing realistic European painting techniques instead of the freehand brushwork of traditional Chinese painting. ...
• Lu Xun's intention to use art as a tool for enlightenment had many precedents in earlier Chinese tradition. In a broad context, it has the same origins as the essays of the Tang Dynasty (630-980) art historian Zhang Yanyun, in his Educating and Developing Human Relationships (from the series, Famous Pictures from Successive Dynasties). The customary educational practice had been to praise virtue by presenting idealized examples; and, in some forms of art, such as traditional nianhua (New Year's pictures), the main themes were people and events that were paradigms of happiness and peace. ...
• 1918) represent this terse style very well and were widely viewed and praised at the time by leading figures of the art world. ...
• Lu Xun was interested in the preservation and development of traditional Chinese woodblock techniques as well as the importation of techniques and styles used in Western graphics, and this also was to play a role in the creation of the new kind of woodblock. He thought modern Chinese art should " show Chinese characteristics, so that one could tell that this was a Chinese person or Chinese subject matter after just taking a look: art needs local color. " Thus he also advocated the study of China's own art as a source for the new print. ...

• “Often, when people think of later Chinese art they think of painting, but there is so much more–magnificent palaces and gardens, elegant illustrations of novels and plays, and exquisite jade, ceramic and bronze objects. The symposium will try to capture that rich variety, and will also explore how Chinese art of the period affected and was affected by other things– literature, for instance, and Eurpean art,” says Wu Hung, University of Chicago Harrie A. Vanderstappen Distinguished Service Professor of Chinese Art History, former curator in the Palace Museum in Beijing and the co-organizer of the symposium. ...

• Wushu (武術 or 武术; pinyin: wǔshù) literally means "martial art". It is commonly used much the same way as the popular term kung fu, referring specifically to Chinese martial arts, but is in China also used as a general term for any martial art. Today, many also use wushu, modern wushu or contemporary wushu as a name for the modern styles of Chinese martial arts that are practiced solely for exhibition and competition. ...
• The word wushu consists of two Chinese characters. 武 (wǔ), meaning martial or military, and 術 (shù), which translates into art, skill or method. Together these form "wǔshù" or "martial art". ... The first means to stop or halt something, and the latter symbolizes an ancient Chinese weapon similar to a spear. Because of this, many consider a more detailed translation of wushu to be "method to stop weapon" or "the art of stopping violence", more similar to the Western term self-defense. This aspect plays a major role in the philosophies that are present in many Chinese martial arts, which emphasize that the best way to defeat an enemy is to do so without fighting, and that the easiest way to not fight is to avoid situations that might lead to any fighting at all. ...

• Chinese military doctrine is currently in a state of flux as the People's Liberation Army is evaluating military trends of relevance to China.
