Question

These visual elements were drawn on an artist’s body and face in the 1998 piece 1/2 (“one-half”) and the 2000 piece Family Tree. Four (10[1])of these visual elements make up the rightmost section of the painting The Remaining Mountain. A goose-loving artist drew these elements using a set of “eight principles.” (10[1])These elements make up an artwork that immortalizes a drinking (10[1])contest at the “Orchard Pavilion.” (10[1])In the 1980s, (10[1])an artist made (10[1])4,000 carvings that resemble these elements (10[2])for his (10[1])installation (10[1])A Book (10[1])From the Sky. (10[6]-5[3])Artists (10[4])often (10[1])train (10[3])by copying (10[2])a thousand of these elements (10[1]-5[2])that (-5[1])comprise a “classic” set drawn by Wang Xizhi (10[1]-5[3])(“wong shee-jurr”), who (10[2])used the “four treasures of study” to draw them in styles (10[1])like “regular” and “semi-cursive.” (10[4])For (10[1])10 points, name these (10[2])symbols (10[4])stroked (-5[1])with (10[1])ink (10[1])in Chinese (10[1])calligraphy.

ANSWER: Chinese characters [or Chinese letters; accept Chinese words or Chinese names; accept or Hànzì or kanji or Hanja or Hancha or Hán tự; accept sinograms or Chinese logograms; accept Chinese calligraphy until read; accept Chinese text or Chinese writing; prompt on text, writing, or scripts; prompt on scrolls by asking “what was drawn on the scrolls?”] (The two performance pieces are by Zhang Huan. The Remaining Mountain is the first half of the painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. Wang Xizhi drew on the “Eight Principles of Yong” and is sometimes credited with composing the Thousand Character Classic. A Book From the Sky is by Xu Bing.)
