The 3rd Friendly Greeting From Shirley, China -- Sun., Sep 11, 2005

Hi,Dear Friends

Hi, Friend,

This is a friendly greeting from Shirley with many smiles via 3rd mail group.

I do appreciate that you are interested in Chinese cultures and I appreciate your great support to my work on Shirley's World www. ebridge.cn

Some of friends told me that they could not open my voice files, so, this week, except I offered you something new below, also I changed the software to record the song A Same Song. If you can open it, please let me know, then I will change my record software for you. Ok?

Chinese Xieyi--0047(Flower & Bird):
After painting 96 Gouaches and 10 Chinese Gongbi painting, I learned to paint a Chinese Xie Yi painting in my art lesson Friday night. This is a freehand brush works painting, it asks painter to paint a picture with brushers and colors directly instead of drafting it with pencil at the first. So, it asks a higher skill and the ability of composition of a picture. I am just learning on it and I hope to give you an information to compare with the other painting styles. :-)
Chinese Classical Poem/Created Art Song--008: Guan Ju --The Songs of Ospreies'
Some Western friends ask me whether Chinese have a date, hug, kiss or fall in love as Westerners do? That really surprises me and want to know why? I guess, maybe the past Cultural Revolution that had made many Chinese traditional cultures to be trampled and had made China to be in a quite closed situation, so that people have these kinds of questions. So, this week, I would like to introduce an oldest Chinese love poem to help you to know more about China and Chinese. Except offering the translation and pronunciation, I wrote a piece of music to match the poem. Hope you enjoy it and help you to remember the poem easier. :-)
Chinese Popular Song--002: The Same Song
Saturday night, I learned my second Chinese popular song in my vocal music lesson A Some Song. I offered you the translation and Chinese pronunciation. I do hope all of our dreams, desires and happiness can make us to sing a same song together.

I am just a learner on all of the work. Many times I do not know what words I should write in English, how I should to use my colors or breath when I was paitning or singing... Anyway, I really hope to offer a little bit help to you to know more Chinese culture and help you to improve your Chinese level; meanwhile, to improve myself. I really hope to get your help, support, and directions on matter on English language or cultures and skills.

If you have any questions, requests, advice, comments, suggestions, please write to shirley@ebridge.cn, or shirleyz004@yahoo.com you are welcomed.
