About Confucius Aesthetics Илюстративна поредица

Естетиката на Конфуций е поредица от илюстрации, създадена да представи естетическите ценности на Конфуций. Поредицата използва метафорични образи, за да изрази идеи като национален просперитет, социална хармония, равенство и любов към родината. Традиционни китайски символи на late, включително бронзови съдове, нефритени висулки, феникса, благоприятни облаци и елена, са комбинирани, за да оформят външната рамка на всяка илюстрация. Рисунките са изработени с помощта на софтуер за дигитално рисуване и отпечатани в наситени цветове. Поредицата има за цел да подкрепи изучаването и по-широкото споделяне на традиционната култура.
