"One of the most curious and perhaps perplexing things for a Western observer has been, for ages, to understand the Han-Chinese Mind and Mindset that appeared to be quite different in two major areas of their Mind's functionality:
one, with respect to its phenomenal, unrivaled memory function;
the other, with respect to the rather strange, logic function."

it gets better ...

And an elephant has a bigger brain than I. So what?

good point. a brain can be used for many purposes.

a large elephant brain can be used to memorize the terrain for example and thus navigate it. a chinese brain can be used to memorize hanzi characters. a jewish brain can be used to make money out of thin air. a black brain can be used to play basketball.

size of the brain has something to do with how good you are at what you're good at, but has nothing to do with how bad you suck at other things.

whites seem to be good with science. jews seem to be good with finances. asians seem to be good with work. blacks seem to be good with play. mexicans appear to be good at having 5 children before the age of 18.

The Song dynasty (960–1279) was culturally the most brilliant era in later imperial Chinese history. A time of great social and economic change, the period in large measure shaped the intellectual and political climate of China down to the twentieth century. The first half of this era, when the capital was located at Bianliang (modern Kaifeng), is known as the Northern Song period.


The early Northern Song dynasty witnessed the flowering of one of the supreme artistic expressions of Chinese civilization: monumental landscape painting. Retreating to the mountains to escape the turmoil and destruction that occurred at the end of the Tang dynasty (618–906), tenth-century recluse-painters discovered in nature the moral order that they had found lacking in the human world. In their visionary landscapes, the great mountain, towering above the lesser mountains, trees, and men, was like "a ruler among his subjects, a master among servants." Later, Song court painters transformed these idealized images of nature into emblems of a perfectly ordered state.


Sorry, just felt like sayin'...
