Philosophical Art (2) - 形形色色 (What You Know May Not Be the Whole)

Before reading the following description, would you want to guess what is this picture?

在阅读以下内容之前，猜猜这幅画是什么.

Scroll down.. Scroll down...

向下滚动....  向下滚动....

一，模特的选择 – 一小段香肠。拿一根香肠，把它切成如下的形状。

1. The model is a piece of sausage cut in the following manner.

二，形形 – 同一个香肠模特，当我们在不同的角度去观察它的时候，它会呈现出不同的形状。就如以下的图像。

2. Then in different angle, it would shown different shapes as follows.

三，色色　－　想象我用两条非常细的线把这块香肠挂在暗房的一角，暗房的墙壁都是白色的。在暗房的右边有一束绿光照在香肠的圆形部分而投影到左面的墙上。然后，在暗房的左面与上方各有边一束黄光和一束红光同时照在香肠的长方形和三角形部分。它将形成以下颜色的投影图。

3.  Imagine that we use two very fine thread to hang the piece of sausage in one corner of a perfect dark-room.  The walls of the dark-room are all in white color.  

From the Right Side of the dark-room, there is green beam of light shining on the the Round-Shape of the Sausage.

From the Left Side and the Top Side of the dark-room, there is a yellow and red beam of lights shining on the rectangle and triangle shapes of the sausage respectively.  Then, on the wall it forms the following pictures.

然而，在暗房里，香肠本身的颜色将不会是我们在太阳光底下所见的“肤色”。例如，在暗房里用绿光照在一朵带绿叶的红玫瑰，我们只能看见绿色的绿叶，红玫瑰则为黑色。

Whereas, in the dark-room, the color of the sausage would not be shown as what we see under the sun as skin-color.  For example, in the dark-room, if one uses a green light to project on a rose with green leaf, we can only see the green light but can not see the rose for it is back in color (no color is reflected).

以上为光学颜色光与颜料色的“加减法则”。比如，当绿光照在‘肤色’的圆形面时，它将呈现为暗绿色。因为‘肤色’中含有“红，黄，白”的色素，其中的红与黄不会反光，而其中的白色会反射一小部分的绿光形成暗绿色，等等。

Above are the theory on Color Additive and Subtractive. For example, when the green light shine on the skin color of the round shape, it would appear as dark green.  Because the skin color consist of the mixture of RED, YELLOW, and WHITE color elements, which the RED and YELLOW  would not reflect the Green light, Only the WHITE would reflect a portion of the Green Light thus shown as dark-green in color, etc...

以下为完成的画。

Below is the completed art work.

四，这幅画中，我们所看见各部分的形形色色都与画的实物-“香肠模特” 有着很大的差别。如瞎子摸象一般！所以，我们对任何事物的判断都应在多方面了解，以免犯了“失之毫厘差之千里”之错。

4.  In this picture, what the shapes and colors on each wall are simply a part of the projection of the model - a small piece of sausage.  Trying to judge the actual object from the projection from each side of the wall is like the story of the  blind men and the elephant!  Therefore, before we make any comment on a matter, it is necessary to know it from all angles.  Otherwise, it merely personal opinion and could be totally different from fact.

我在猜--这只狗在看电影的时候，它那么的激动，是不是以为这是真的？印证了佛家的一句话--"凡所有相，皆为虚妄。"

I am just guessing -- As this dog was watching the movie "King Kong", it was so excited.  Was it thought that it was Real?

Come to think about it, some teachers said since thousand years ago, "What you see is only an illusion."

• The only thing we are aware of is our own thoughts.
• What we’re seeing out there is our own mind.
• Real knowledge lies just behind thought. Thought is relative knowledge, and relative knowledge is ignorance.

Philosophical Art (1) - ALL ARE From ONE Source

Intro: ALL ARE From ONE Source

This is an old question: “Where did human comes from?” And, there are many speculation too:

1)   “Manifested from Consciousness”,- it is manifested from the energy of Universal Mind into form.

2)   “Created by God”, - According to Bible.

3)   “Evolved from Apes”,- According to some people theory.

4)   “An experiment of Aliens” – According to some speculation.

5)   May be you have heard of more than these…?

The face of the man, in the art, consists of five colors – Black, Brown, Red, Yellow and White.  It represents the five skin color of human race on planet earth.  On the upper left corner, there is a Source of Light, and it spin-out five fire balls with respective colors, and within each fire-ball there is a baby.  It means that regardless of what color of the skin of a person, he/she comes from ONE SOURCE.  The more people can consciously aware of this then we can have a more peaceful society.

 In Chinese, we have a habit in calling the people who have the same surname as “one family in five hundred years ago.”

Then, isn’t that people who don’t have the same surname as “one family in five thousand years ago.”

So, isn’t that people who don’t have the same skin color as “one family in fifty thousand years ago!”

作品简介: 都是一家人(ALL ARE From ONE Source)

一，这是一个很古老的问题:"人都是从那里来的?"以下有多种传说...

1) "无中生有",--是由宇宙意识无形的能量转变而成。

2) "上帝制造",--是由上帝用泥巴捏成的。

3) "猴子的后代",--是由猴子进化而成的。

4) "外星人制造",--是由于星人在地球上的基因实验而生产的。

5) 或者你还有更多的说法?
二，画面上双手合十的人，脸上由五种颜色组成-- 黑，棕，红，黄，白。
它代表着地球上的五色人种。而左上角的光团，分裂出五种色彩的火球,
每个火球内有个婴儿。意思就是不管地球上任何肤色的人都源于同一个源
头，都是"同宗",都是"同根生"。希望会有更多人意识到这一点，而带来

更和谐的社会。 :-)

三，中国人有个习惯称同姓的人为"五百年前是一家。"
那是不是也可以说不同姓的人为"五千年前是一家。"
是不是更可以说不同肤色的人为"五万年前是一家!"
