Chinese, Powers

The Chinese collection at royal Ontario museum shows statues and wall paintings of gods in a static way. It seems to think about the space through texts. It tells people that gods are empathetic figures in the Chinese culture. They are buddhas that has unlimited powers but rarely used them. The aesthetic of these statues follow the ancient standards of beauty. It makes the culture wars in North America less a chaotic forum but a play between words. Etc.
