The Multicultural Influences of the Silk Road on Artists in the Tang Dynasty
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the cultural influences of the Silk Road on the art of the Tang Dynasty in China. The Tang Dynasty artists (618-907) adopted ideas from the cultures of the South, the East, the North and the West as a result of the great influences from travelers along the Silk Road during the dynasty. The population in China during the Tang Dynasty more than tripled in several hundred years mostly from the traders and travelers from along the Silk Road. In addition to influencing the artisans in China, other areas of the arts were also influenced and can be seen reflected in the development of stories and plays from the Western storytellers, the inclusion of foreign gems and glass in metal work and influences in the music, dance, fashion and the culinary arts.

The Operative Dynamics of Modern Chinese Poetry
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page discussion of the linguistic and thematic structure of modern Chinese poetry. Analyzes the poem “Into the Mountains” by Yang Mu to present examples of metaphor, simile, comparison, and personification. This paper emphasizes that essentially modern Chinese poetry relies on the same use of semantics as do Western forms of poetry. Other considerations enter the picture, however, when these poems are translated into English. In this instance, the translator has essentially as much power as the poet in changing subtle components of a poem with the manipulation of the English words which he uses to convey the meaning. While it is useful to analyze the semantics of modern Chinese poetry from an operative structure standpoint therefore, it is perhaps even more useful to analyze this poetry from a thematic standpoint. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
