CHINA'S 'CROWN OF THE EAST' CALLING TO HEAVEN FROM SHANGHAI EXPO 2010
CHINA'S 'CROWN OF THE EAST' CALLING TO HEAVEN FROM SHANGHAI EXPO 2010
What nations today have the most and least experience in sustaining stability and continuity?
For contrast, consider CHINA and AMERICA. From the August 27 post:
: THROUGHOUT AMERICA ONE TERM NAMES ALL
: OF TODAY'S MAJOR HOT-BUTTON ISSUES
: Public Trust
Survival for archaic societies was a product of deliberate co-operation between human and environment. Reverence for the providential relationship with nature may have been the purpose behind the repetitious use of the inverted step pyramid motif.
Although a far less stable physical environment than we now enjoy might have been a great source of anxiety as the First Nations formed and started their calendars some 5,000 'years' ago, persisting anxiety about the environment helps us imagine the heavy mantle assumed by the leaders selected and formally 'vested in public trust'.
Public investment of authority also conferred 'guardian' responsibilities. Leaders had powerful incentives to foster the intelligent co-operation that yielded life-sustaining harvest, and to mitigate the worst heaven was known to send. Altars raised up on pedestals were involved in mitigation efforts.
If Earth were placed atop an alter 'turned upside-down' the pedestal would 'rest upon heaven'.
Pride of China: 'Crown of the East' celebrates China's new prosperity by honoring an earlier time of cultural achievement.
21 August 2009
Pavilion at Expo will be 'Crown of the East' The China Pavilion at the upcoming Shanghai World Expo will house an enlarged version of the panoramic painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to reproduce the prosperity of an ancient city of China.
The painting, attributed to Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan (1085-1145), will be reproduced in a version that is hundreds of times the size of the original, which was 24.8 cm by 528.7 cm.
Along the River During the Qingming Festival In the 5.28-meter long picture, there are 814 humans, 28 boats, 60 animals, 30 buildings, 20 vehicles, nine sedan chairs, and 170 trees drawn. The countryside and the densely populated city are the two main sections in the picture, with the river meandering through the entire length.
The right section is the rural area of the city. There are crop fields and unhurried rural folk—predominately farmers, goatherds, and pig herders—in bucolic scenery. A country path broadens into a road and joins with the city road.
The left half is the urban area, which eventually leads into the city proper with the gates. Many economic activities, such as people loading cargoes onto the boat, shops, and even a tax office, can be seen in this area. People from all walks of life are depicted: peddlers, jugglers, actors, paupers begging, monks asking for alms, fortune tellers and seers, doctors, innkeepers, teachers, millers, metalworkers, carpenters, masons, and official scholars from all ranks.

What assures China's stability and continuity?
How will modernization and affluence alter Chinese society?
Would China want to 'send an appeal to heaven' or exchange messages with the 'planetary information field' for purposes of guidance in dealing with environmental dangers.
