Chinoiserie is China ....

Works of Chinese-style Chinoiserie, shinuazeri is not a pale imitation of the Europeans, or ignorant of Chinese art objects, it is tangible and complete embodiment of the ideal image of the country: exotic, remote, fabulously wealthy, shrouded in a haze of centuries - which obstinately shut their doors to strangers and lets only certain lucky ones.

"Chinoiserie, shinuazeri (from Fr. Chinois - Chinese) - the use of motifs and stylistic devices of Chinese art in European painting, decorative arts, etc."
This is an external stylization, and the true art of China's ancient and mysterious civilization has the original spirit permeated the philosophy and history!? Prices do not he mad, rising to 300%per year! http://www.openspace.ru/news/details/14270/

But, of course, there are worthy examples of Chinoiserie. Recently went to Prechistenka cents "Artifact", saw the vase, even very nice.

During the conversation about jade student

much higher than serpentine (serpentine)? Is it because,
it rarely occurs in nature, and serpentine

considered it a symbol of merit. His gentle,
smooth, shiny surface shows
heartfelt compassion; its structure and strength of say
of wisdom, it is hard and at the same time does not hurt,
that speaks of a sense of duty to the people;
it hangs as if drowning, indicating
