Zhang Hong's Painting on Ximen Bao

It was stated in a couple of sources that the Ming painter, Zhang Hong, painted the 西门豹破河伯图, but they were not clear. 张宏是吴派山水画家,但他的人物画不太被重视。It would have been digitized and available online if it’s somewhere in Taiwan. I assume it’s hidden some where in a museum in Beijing or Shanghai. Will have to go through their catalogues tomorrow.

New Jobs

I am really happy for Qi and Lili who graduated last May. They both brought their strong technical skills to major Canadian companies. Several people mentioned about their new jobs to me when we first met this term. So it definately deserves a post. Lei is another one. He has been working for an American corporation in town that is interested in Chinese market. At our next gathering, we will be able to learn from these corporate folks. By the way, U. of Chicago just posted a position of Chinese Studies Librarian.

Cheng Huanwen said in his Blog: 北京奥运会开幕式不过是上了一堂空前绝后的中国图书史教学课!Darn! Missed that part. Hope to get a DVD soon, for myself and UBC students.
