  • The Web That Has No Weaver
    THE WEB THAT HAS NO WEAVER Understanding Chinese Medicine “The Web That Has No Weaver opens the great door of understanding to the profoundness of Chinese medicine.” —People’s Daily, Beijing, China “The Web That Has No Weaver with its manifold merits … is a successful introduction to Chinese medicine. We recommend it to our colleagues in China.” —Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China “Ted Kaptchuk’s book [has] something for practically everyone . Kaptchuk, himself an extraordinary combination of elements, is a thinker whose writing is more accessible than that of Joseph Needham or Manfred Porkert with no less scholarship. There is more here to think about, chew over, ponder or reflect upon than you are liable to find elsewhere. This may sound like a rave review: it is.” —Journal of Traditional Acupuncture “The Web That Has No Weaver is an encyclopedia of how to tell from the Eastern perspective ‘what is wrong.’” —Larry Dossey, author of Space, Time, and Medicine “Valuable as a compendium of traditional Chinese medical doctrine.” —Joseph Needham, author of Science and Civilization in China “The only approximation for authenticity is The Barefoot Doctor’s Manual, and this will take readers much further.” —The Kirkus Reviews “Kaptchuk has become a lyricist for the art of healing. And the more he tells us about traditional Chinese medicine, the more clearly we see the link between philosophy, art, and the physician’s craft.” —Houston Chronicle “Ted Kaptchuk’s book was inspirational in the development of my acupuncture practice and gave me a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

  • Essays on Colour
    Essays on Colour ESSAYS ON COLOUR A collection of columns from Cabinet Magazine Eleanor Maclure Introduction For every issue the editors of Cabinet Magazine, an American quarterly arts and culture journal, ask one of their regular contributors to write about a specific colour. The essays are printed as Cabinet’s regular Colours Column. To date, forty-two different colours have been the subject of discussion, beginning with Bice in their first ever issue. I first encountered Cabinet magazine when I stumbled upon Darren Wershler-Henry’s piece about Ruby, on the internet. I have since been able to collect all of the published columns and they have provided a wealth of knowledge, information and invaluable research about colour and colour names. Collectively, the writings represent a varied and engaging body of work, with approaches ranging from the highly factual to the deeply personal. From the birth of his niece in Matthew Klam’s Purple, to a timeline of the history of Lapis Lazuli mining in Ultramarine by Matthew Buckingham, the essays have provided fascinating insights into a whole range of colours, from basic terms such as black and red, to the more obscure: porphyry and puce. While some focus very much on the colour in question, others diverge into intricate tales of history, chemistry or geopolitics. There are personal anecdotes, legends and conspiracies, but more than that, the essays demonstrate the sheer diversity of ways we can talk about colour. The essays gathered here have become far more than just the background reading they began as. The aim of this book is to bring together the works, as a unique representation of the different ways we relate to, experience and interpret colours.

  • The Cultural Connotations of Color Words in English and Chinese
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention (IJHSSI) ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org ||Volume 7 Issue 09 Ver. I ||September 2018 || PP 37-41 The Cultural Connotations of Color Words in English and Chinese XiaoLing Yang Foreign Language School Nanchang Normal University NanChang Jiangxi, China This paper is funded by 11531 project of Nanchang Normal University ABSTRACT:The world we live in is colorful, and there isseveral of color words used to describe the colorful things in the world. Color is closely related to our life, it’s an important field for us to understand the world. Color not only has physical properties, but also has rich cultural connotation. Although the quantity of the color words in different languages is not the same, the color words are almost the components of vocabularies in all the languages. English and Chinese are both abundant in basic color terms, and with the deepening of the cultural communication between China and western countries, it has been realized that basic color words are inevitable becoming a barrier in the cross-cultural communication. The corresponding color words in English and Chinese are endowed with different cultural connotations, which increase the difficulty for cross-cultural communication. This thesis mainly through the basic color words: red, yellow, green, black, white and blue to make a contrast between English and Chinese, and the thesis will exert greater efforts to explain the reasons for the differences existing in the cultural connotations of color terms in English and Chinese. KEY WORDS: basic color words; cultural connotation; cross-cultural communication ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Date of Submission: 31-08-208 Date of acceptance:15-09-2018 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- I.

    blue. A Guide to Looking This guide offers a selection of works from the exhibition. Look at the included artwork and then use the text to help build a deeper understanding of the artists, their process, and their works. Pablo Picasso (Spanish, b. 1881 – d.1973) Buste de Femme, 1902, lithograph y e r n Inspiration e Between 1900 and 1904 Picasso created a series of works in shades of l l blue that became known as his Blue Period, reflecting feelings of O instability, poverty and sadness. In 1901-1902, Picasso began visiting a a women’s prison named St. Lazare which was guarded by nuns. He juxtaposed the daily lives of the imprisoned women with themes, G colors and compositions found in Christian iconography. In the Artist’s Words “I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.” Take a Closer Look While recognizable as a portrait, the stylization of the woman’s face hints at Picasso’s future distancing from realism. There is a sense of elongated lines disappearing off the edge of the canvas like a waterfall, with the tilt of her head echoing this downward direction. The body language creates a sense of quiet and stillness while the limited, monochromatic palette evokes a subdued, thoughtful tone. Something to Talk About Picasso is known for his different styles and periods, particularly his cubist works which exemplify his quote above. Do you typically prefer artwork to be more realistic or do you prefer artworks do not have easily recognizable subject matter? Why or why not? Antonio Santín (Spanish, b.1978) y Toast to Ashes, 2020, oil on canvas, 215 x 150 cm e r n Inspiration e l Antonio Santin is a Spanish-born artist who creates meticulously l O layered oil and acrylic paintings that mimic the texture, colors and scale of woven rugs.

  • Perception of Color in Product Choice Among College Students: a Cross-National Analysis of USA, India, China and Turkey
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 21 [Special Issue – November 2011] Perception of Color in Product Choice among College Students: A Cross-National Analysis of USA, India, China and Turkey Okan Akcay, D.B.A. Muhammed H. Dalgin, Ph.D. Swati Bhatnagar, M.B.A. Kutztown University of Pennsylvania United States of America Abstract This study will examine color in product choice among college students in a cross-cultural context. Surveys were conducted for the target group in the USA, India, China and Turkey. Color plays a major role in buying decisions of consumers for different products. The authors will carry out a review of the literature and discuss cross-cultural meanings and associations of color among consumers in different nations, to find out if color is important across all product categories. The survey results were analyzed for implications for marketers and to reach conclusions for our research. JEL Classification: M31, M37, Z10, D12 Keywords: Marketing, Advertising, Cultural and Consumer Economics I. INTRODUCTION Color is a visual attribute of things resulting from the light they emit, transmit or reflect. It is a highly important product attribute because color is what differentiates similar kinds of products. Color acts as the visual stimulus, attracting people to touch and feel the product and to some extent even buy it. Color is an integral element of corporate marketing communications strategy. It is an important tool for shaping customers feelings and responses (Clarke & Honeycutt, 2000). It induces moods and emotions, influences consumer perceptions and behaviors and helps companies position or differentiate themselves from the competition (Grossman and Wisenblit 1999; Aslam, 2006).

    An Atlas of Rare & Familiar Colour THE HARVARD ART MUSEUMS’ FORBES PIGMENT COLLECTION Yoko Ono “If people want to make war they should make a colour war, and paint each others’ cities up in the night in pinks and greens.” Foreword p.6 Introduction p.12 Red p.28 Orange p.54 Yellow p.70 Green p.86 Blue p.108 Purple p.132 Brown p.150 Black p.162 White p.178 Metallic p.190 Appendix p.204 8 AN ATLAS OF RARE & FAMILIAR COLOUR FOREWORD 9 You can see Harvard University’s Forbes Pigment Collection from far below. It shimmers like an art display in its own right, facing in towards Foreword the glass central courtyard in Renzo Piano’s wonderful 2014 extension to the Harvard Art Museums. The collection seems, somehow, suspended within the sky. From the public galleries it is tantalising, almost intoxicating, to see the glass-fronted cases full of their bright bottles up there in the administra- tive area of the museum. The shelves are arranged mostly by hue; the blues are graded in ombre effect from deepest midnight to the fading in- digo of favourite jeans, with startling, pleasing juxtapositions of turquoise (flasks of lightest green malachite; summer sky-coloured copper carbon- ate and swimming pool verdigris) next to navy, next to something that was once blue and is now simply, chalk. A few feet along, the bright alizarin crimsons slake to brownish brazil wood upon one side, and blush to madder pink the other. This curious chromatic ordering makes the whole collection look like an installation exploring the very nature of painting.
