Understanding a conflicting relationship: Magpies and Hare

For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2023-12-29/Understanding-a-conflicting-relationship-Magpies-and-Hare-1pVxwQOHWKI/p.html "Magpies and Hare" is a colored silk painting created by Northern Song (960-1127) painter Cui Bai. It is also known as "Double Happiness" because "two magpies" in Chinese is a homophone for "two happiness." The title gives off a sense of joy but the painting actually brims with dramatic tension as it portrays two magpies screaming at a trespassing hare. How did the Song artists manage to capture the spirit of wilderness with such accuracy? How did they express such complex emotions and thoughts? Professor Huang Xiaofeng provides insights. CGTN's art series "The Song, Painted" is a virtual exhibition of Song Dynasty (960-1279) masterpieces currently housed in museums worldwide. Let's embark on a journey of cultural exploration, zooming in on art from the Song Dynasty and the ethos reflected in the paintings.
