Daji and King Zhou of Shang in 1047 BC_妲己與殷紂
[Temporary remove the painting, put it back on until next version]
There is much Chinese folklore which includes songs, and tales, and it tells stories of historical, human nature, events, or love. Here is a story about Daji and King Zhou of Shang in 1047 BC. Daji was a favorite concuibine of King Zho of Shang. She is a classic example of how beauty causes the downfall of an empire/dynasty in Chinese culture. She is portrayed as an evil fox spirit in Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi which is translated as The Investiture of the Gods or The Creation of the Gods, also known as Fengshen Bang.
妲己，殷紂之妃也。紂伐有蘇，有蘇女以妲己，美而辯，用心邪僻，夸比於禮，戚施於貌。紂好酒淫樂，不離妲己，其言是從，所譽者貴之，憎者誅之。
乃使師延作朝歌北鄙之音，北里之舞，靡靡之樂。造鹿臺為瓊室玉門，其大三里，高千尺，七年乃成。厚賦稅，以實鹿臺之財，盈鉅橋之粟，燎焚天下之財，罷苦萬民之力。故狗馬奇物，充牣宮室，以人食獸，廣沙丘苑臺，以酒為池，懸肉為林，男女裸相逐於其間。宮中九市，為長夜之飲。百姓怨望，諸侯有叛者。妲己以為罰輕誅薄，故威不立，乃重為刑辟，為熨斗，以火燒燃，使人舉之手爛，更為銅柱以膏塗之，加於炭火之上，使有罪緣之。紂與妲己，以為大樂，名曰炮烙之刑。

贈與,分享,盜取和道德信仰
這幾個名詞看似有不同的意義和詮釋,實際上的意義卻比字面上來的複雜的多.
又與宗教信仰與道德文化牽扯不清.
思想被盜,這是個普遍的形容,但觀念與思想被某人觀察及了解後導致了某人衍生的行為而感覺自己權益受到損害的這觀念實際上是甚麼時候開始產生的?
被盜者如果沒有意識到或是有意識而無感覺到傷害,這算是盜嗎?
了解這樣的模式而善於利用這觀念的人我們怎麼說?
被盜者若是當下沒意識,而在某些時間後意識到而不悅這樣的事件發生,那又能怎麼做?
而更深入的探討這些問題,只會發現一切都陷入泥沼,然後呢?
這裡有一些例子:
#病毒疫苗與病毒的傳播與地球村
#寵物,結紮,和動物避難所
#車子.安全帶與安全座椅,罰款
#聖誕節(情人節......等),買禮物,收禮物
#砍樹種植草皮,空調與清掃落葉及除草機
#架空工作既得利益者,回到求職學校從事培育工作,比如操弄房產,買賣房屋與培育房屋仲介
#富裕,機器與傭人,健康與健身房
#美國綠卡,受欺壓的外國員工與美國本土員工失業
#著作權起源保護卻讓公司操弄這觀念而從中獲利,於是演變出更複雜的著作權法,然後有著更大的獲利.
......
......
......
這類荒謬卻又是實際生活的事情太多太多了.
這些在人類過去的歷史上都發生過,而衍生了道德與信仰存在的必要性,否則人該怎麼走?

Artists' Job
Beauty is everywhere and if we see so how do we share?
This is like a package which artist take the responsibilities from beginning to the end, such as where to receive the package, when to receive the package, and how to open the package and who should receive this particular item in the package, and than we can ask ourselves did I do a good job ?

A painting is generated?
Recently, there was one digital painting I have done was labeld as "Computer generated". I believed the term of "generated" was not the correct way to describ a painting.
There is a good way of describing the meaning of a painting and I believed this is why people put this in Wikipedia.
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium[1] to a surface (support base). The application of the medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush but other objects may be used. In art the term describes both the act and the result which is called a painting......

Photoshop V.S Oil Painting?
Photoshop V.S Oil Painting??
I did one in 2009 and even they were not great paintings but worth to think about it.
I did the digital paintings in one of the session and use it as an guide for the oil painting, and than bring the oil painting for the second session.
They all have their own characteristics.
I don't think it make a lot of sense to compare like this way but it may answer some of the questions which bother me or other artists for a long time.
The answer was if we like the feel of the oil painting, than go ahead to do an oil painting.
If we like the feel of Photoshop painting, than go ahead to do Photoshop painting.
As an artist today, I believe it is our job to figure what is the digital media means to us.
