I appreciate it very much. <br /><br />Stephanie, I think the artists are teachers and students who are invited guests of the founder. I see that they are some living quarters in the main front block. Maybe, they came and discussed poetry, arts and the classics before doing the drawings just like in ancient China. I'd like to think that they are imparting culture onto the walls of Perak Caves.<br /><br />James, there is some difference between a chinese lion and a fu dog. In reality, China does not have any lions. Lions are culture brought in along with Buddhism. Lions has been improvised by the chinese resulting in Fu Dogs and also lions that don't exactly look like lions. Usually, chinese lions are fierce looking, their feet have sharp claws and they sit in a 'ready to pounce' stance. The Fu Dogs are more 'playful' and usually depicted as male playing with a ball and female with a baby.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-53341644459820764072009-10-19T19:24:25.438+08:002009-10-19T19:24:25.438+08:00What a unique post.

I’m so glad you came and your words of compliments were additional bonuses for me to cherish.<br /><br />Alice (Bay Area Tendrils), Chinese art & culture has influences from Taoism, Confucius, Hinduism and Buddhism since ancient times. Now, Perak Cave is a Buddhist temple. When you look at the paintings, it is not surprising to see Chinese gods that look like Hindu gods or Buddhas depicted in the paintings. So, I guess you are right.<br /><br />Rainfield, maybe you are like me. I have gone there many times before but did not really notice the paintings. I guess if you understand something better, you will see and appreciate more. That’s what happened to me. Hope you had a great time at Kek Lok Tong Cave. I’ll be checking your blog soon to read about your adventure.<br /><br />Jacqueline, thank you for your fave which is very precious to me. Like you, I too didn’t really ‘see’ the paintings during my previous visits to Perak Cave. Maybe we can look at it this way. When we understand better, we can appreciate more, just like after we get to know our darlings, they are no longer strangers to us and that’s why we fell in love with them!
