What should we do with traditional maxims? Like those engraved on the wall in WEI Guangqing’s paintings from Zhu Zi’s Family Maxim and The Virtuous Words.
What else can we do with advertising and propaganda hoardings? Like the ones featuring the portrait of the young Chinese Communist hero Lei Fang captured by WANG Youshen?
Should these inscriptions be respected? Should they be bypassed? Or, more radically, be ignored?
Does the passage of time choose for us? Erasing what were once social assumptions and gradually breaking free of the rules.
Or are we at the origin of these mutations?
