Painting Activity of Wang Chien (Part I)
Full text link“Four Wangs”, Wang Shih-min (1592-1680), Wang Chien (1598-1677), Wang Hui (1632-1717) and Wang Yüan-ch'i (1642-1715), and two more painters Wu Li (1632-1718) and Yün Shou-p'ing (1632-1690), are called the “Six Eminent Painters of the Early Ch'ing Dynasty”. The general evaluation of the “Four Wangs” in Japan is not high. They were once criticized as being painters of “boring formalism”. It is true indeed that they in a sense were conservative compared to many painters of the same period. However, the fundamental structure of Chinese painting history is based on the tense relationship between tradition and creation. Therefore the precise understanding of the painters' participancy in the investigation and observance of tradition would be an important phase in historical study of Chinese painting. The author tries to take up the painting activity of Wang Chien from this point of view.
Despite the general low evaluation of the “Four Wangs” in Japan, the “Six Eminent Painters of the Early Ch'ing Dynasty” were favourably appreciated in Kyoto of the Taishō Era. This was the result of the edification activities of Konan NAITŌ, an early Japanese art historian. Konan Naito saw collections of Chinese paintings in Peking at the very end of the Ch'ing Dynasty and realized that those which had long been recognized in China as orthodox, right and graceful works, were quite different from those which had been handed down in Japan. Besides, a great number of paintings handed down in China were brought to Japan after the Hsin-hai Revolution and some antiquarians collected them following NAITŌ's opinion. Some picture books of works of these painters were published in Japan about this time.
Even this favourable evaluation, however, did not alter the view of the average Japanese people. Two reasons for the lack of change may be that few excellent pieces were among those newly brought to Japan and that the Japanese were accustomed to appreciating works brought to Japan in earlier periods among which were considerable masterpieces. The proper evaluations of the “Six Eminent Painters of the Early Ch'ing Dynasty” and of NAITŌ's achievement as a forerunner must be possible for the first time today, because a large portion of the Chinese paintings in the world, including China itself, came to the knowledge of scholars and can be discussed as a whole, and since it is now recognized that the Chinese paintings in Japan do not represent all aspects of Chinese pictorial art and that there are many recommendable ones among the so-called orthodox works.journal articl

A case study of Wang, Chien-Ming
Abstract
The purpose of this research aims to discover the elements and process of how Wang, Chien-Ming was formed to be a sports star. The study analyzed the related news reports, news comments and related essays of Wang in the point of view of Sociology and Mass Communication, and discussed idolization, reasons and techniques of forming a sports star. The qualitative in-depth interview was used to interview with the instructors in Wang’s growing periods to prove the characteristics of being a sports star and the accuracy of media reports. Some related journalists, merchandise endorsement executives, and merchandise sellers were also invited for the interviews to assist in making the process clear. Moreover, the outcomes of interviews with the sports fans and merchandise consumers helped to analyze the social-psychological elements of the process of forming a sports star. Lastly, the research reflected various social phenomena of Wang’s idolization. The results were as below:
1.The excellent performance of Wang, Chien-Ming was the main element of his idolization, especially playing in the Major League Baseball (MLB). The media intentionally selected Wang’s particular characteristics and reported in agenda-setting theory to increase Wang’s reputation. Therefore, Wang had become cultural merchandise carrying on symbolic meaning of the baseball history and society of Taiwan. The connection between the meaning of merchandise utilized by commercial organizations and the affections resonated from consumers formed his image together.
2.The reflections of the phenomena of Wang, Chien-Ming: the idolization of Wang created some controversial issues which were generally called “Wang phenomena”, including chasing of Wang or even reporting in peepers’ position. The prices of the related merchandise were rising up too much that the ordinary fans couldn’t afford, which might cause controversies of over commercialization.
The growing phenomena above are proved to be related to the complicated historical background, dropping national status, and seeking for the mental exit. Therefore, the research suggests that “Wang Phenomena” should be viewed in “pure” aesthetics of sport, instead of functional “utility” and “value” point of view. The symbolic meaning of “practicability” should be abandoned so that people would not be controlled by media and would return to the original intention of sport appreciation.
