Thanks
Thanks for sharing that website. It was beautiful. A very interesting idea, about transporting yourself to another time in a painting. It evokes all sorts of feelings.
I was born in 1956, but for my culture, it is not a compliment to be called a monkey. I tell some of the little kids I deal with daily at school that they are little monkeys as a way to tease them. By this I mean that they are way too active, climbing around like a monkey does, over trees and everything. For asian cultures, does the monkey have any particular symbolism or meaning? I've always wondered.

Since there is a leap February 2nd in Lunar calender in this year, so are two Februaries for this year, and "Feb. 2nd, a dragon raises its head". Can you see? this giant dragon has raised its head twice now. It is time to raise your head, if you are a real dragon.
"The dragons fights in the field. Their blood runs black and yellow". Which book this phrase is from? What is its meaning?
Dear Julie: It is your year, a productive year but be cautious. You are right, although they praise every animal for good wish, there are many negative idioms relate to monkey. Tell those monkey kids, monkey is smart and very popular , lovely one for Chinese children.
The answer for above word game is "mother".

See

"When Mao died in 1976, Jiang lost the support and major source of justification for her political activities. Hua Guofeng arrested her and the other members of the Gang of Four. I personally always thought that the poster below, made in 1976 and published a year later, was an allegorical way of showing the defeat of Jiang. Monkey (Sun Wukong), the hero of the popular Ming-dynasty novel Journey to the West, stood for the Chinese people, and the White Bone Demon, a devil of the first order, was Jiang Qing. However, when I proposed this theory to veteran designers Ha Qiongwen and Qian Daxin (formerly of the Shanghai People's Arts Publishing House), they were very amused, but insisted this was not the case."

Hi SB,
Who set the agenda?
I have thought about your riddle, but can not come up with any single and only answer to it.
Can you answer mine ?
