During the Ming-Qing transition (roughly from the 1570s to the 1680s), literati-officials in China employed public forms of writing, art, and social spectacle to present positive moral images of themselves and negative images of their rivals. The rise of print culture, the dynastic change, and the proliferating approaches to Confucian moral cultivation together gave shape to this new political culture. Confucian Image Politics considers the moral images of officials—as fathers, sons, husbands, and friends—circulated in a variety of media inside and outside the court. It shows how power negotiations took place through participants’ invocations of Confucian ethical ideals in political attacks, self-expression, self-defense, discussion of politically sensitive issues, and literati community rebuilding after the dynastic change. This first book-length study of early modern Chinese politics from the perspective of critical men’s history shows how images—the Donglin official, the Fushe scholar, the turncoat figure—were created, circulated, and contested to serve political purposes.

Описание: About the book This volume generates authentic inspiration for both mental and emotional motivation. When being equipped with such credible spirit, the reader will feel confident for taking applicable steps especially during the arousing critical situations that require proper attention and seriousness. Although the arrangement of courtship and the overall sentimental matters of the heart are emphasized as the main subject of this volume, the fundamental human character and the projection of a continuous moral personality along with it would have gained great authority and priority in behalf of true prospective establishment in proportion with divine disposition and emotional stability. Because of deep human imperfection and uncontrollable demonic activity, we are influenced by the chaos of immoral, lawless, and rebellious behavior, which is getting worse than any other time in human history. That is why, all the ethical and authentic subjects in this volume bring to light the expected logic and the common sense that has lost its balance or equilibrium within human conscience. Today, both parents and children are confused for being decisive and selective of which direction to take regarding moral matters As a result, by dividing the faculty of human thinking from the emotional state of its original dependency, this present day veiled society finds it easier to blind the mind and subdue the emotive condition of the figurative heart to the point where is no recovery. We see the growing rebelliousness between children against their parent, which is heading toward an inferior state. Such laughable position of the young is ironically considered as directive or appropriate for acceptability, despite its nameless and ranging bitter consequences.Subsequently, the themes of this volume will assist the mind to see with clarity the true moral standing designed for the heart to accept and apply willingly with satisfying appropriateness - the extensive influence derive from the core of such accurate knowledge, unambiguous understanding and indisputable wisdom. Definitely, unless the heart is touched, the incoherent disposition of the young ones cannot be moved progressively toward the dignity of humility, understanding, sympathy, credibility, dependability and stability. This overall disposition has to be prepared with regard to his or her character in a way that, such fundamental state to preserve durably in pact the projection of a new personality both morally and psychologically.The consequential results of fornication preserve a painful chain that makes us responsible not only based on conscience, but also with regard to the responsiveness of divine accountability and selectivity for either refusal or acceptability. As this is a critically imperative step on which side to stand, here is the treasure where the mind will find an established station for obtaining the path of true perception, credible knowledge, deep understanding as well as the trustworthy direction considering it sentimentally, emotionally and spiritually. In addition, as human ambition is projected toward the intent of getting as much as possible out of a short lifespan, this volume will fortify the fulfilling conviction of a different aspiration instead. This aim acts in harmony with the originality of human conscience and the fundamental purpose of our existence.
Описание: This book offers instruction on the use of the Color Wheel, a tool that has been in use for many years and developed by The Color Wheel Company. The Color Wheel represents twelve colors, three primary, three secondary and six tertiary colors.As you learn to use The Color Wheel you will see how it serves to simplify color mixing for the artist by using a controlled group of colors and creating harmony in artwork.The front side of the Color Wheel illustrates the color mixes that result when using the primary colors. Black shades and white tints are also illustrated.The back side of the Color Wheel illustrates a group of stacked geometric shapes representing spatial degrees of separation which, when used, will prove to create harmonious color schemes. This might include one color for a monochromatic color scheme to six colors using an expanded complementary color scheme. White is always a given paint tube to be added to your palette, but black is not necessary when you learn how to make a dark using complementary colors.So then why are there so many paint colors out there to choose from when all you need is a few? The answer is that the manufacturers are making money from it. The more colors they make, the more colors you think you need, so the more you will buy. Manufacturers feed on this notion and in essence, it disables us from actually learning and understanding how to mix color. Knowing "What's in your Tube" is the second half of the equation. Using pure color is about knowing what is actually in your tube of paint.There are no magic potions for mixing color. The good news, though, is that through practice you will gain knowledge and confidence in your color mixing. The practical knowledge is the easy part; the work comes when you practice it. I frequently remind my students that there is a reason why art is often referred to as artwork....it is work This method is suitable for the beginner student as well as the professional artist. It can be applied to any subject or style of art including abstract, expressionism or impressionism and can be applied to all painting mediums including beyond paint such as fiber art and interior decorating. Color harmony is essential to all good art no matter the medium, subject or style.Whether you are just beginning your art journey or have been struggling to mix color, this systematic approach will help you get on the right track. No more failed piles of color. No more random color selections. The hit or miss mixing process will become a thing of the past.I have found that most students and artists don't take the time to paint color charts or do the color studies before a painting. For that reason, I offer workshops on this subject. This book will serves as a reference guidebook, and teaching tool for years to come.Color mixing can take a lifetime of exploration because of the endless combinations possible. For that I am grateful. "Happy are the painters for they shall not be bored" -Winston Churchill. I have been painting for over forty years and still, it is fun and fresh every time I return to my easel.If you don't already own a Color Wheel, you may want to have one to follow along. If you do, dust it off and let's get going

Описание: The thesis of this book is simple, and that is: Although hate is a disease from which no one is immune, each person has the volitional capacity to choose love. Genuine love-unconditional love-is looking into each other's hearts and imagining the best ways to practice compassion, then going the extra mile to fulfill the need. Choosing to love others grows out of self-love. We should treat everyone with dignity and kindness, not because they deserve such treatment, but because we deserve to experience the freedom that comes with the knowledge of having done the right thing. We cannot determine what life throws at us, the good or bad, even so, we can always choose how we respond to the things we cannot control. This book takes a semi-historical, yet comprehensive approach to the ethical and moral consequences of hate, indifference, and social intolerance. This book also examines why intolerance of difference is not only self-defeating but also detrimental to the ideals of liberal democracies. This book reveals that if hate is left to run its course, it can poison a nation's moral climate and threaten its collective identity. The author of this book contends that without the compass of love and tolerance guiding humanity's collective spirit, we could find ourselves floundering in a world where hate and intolerance are the norms; hence, the necessity of creating a world where the highest valued currency is LOVE. When one truly loves, there cannot be any space in that person's life for racism, classism, tribalism, or elitism. Competition, contention, hate, violence, and indifference cannot co-exist in the heart that is filled with love. Let us therefore work together to create a more peaceful world based on an economy of love where we choose diversity over division, hope over despair, and compassion over indifference.
