Answer:
The two wonderful tales in Chinese art are:
1. Wu Daozi's tale.
2. Dragon's eye tale
Explanation:
The artist Wu Daozi wanted to reveal the king the inner aspect of the painting. He was a famous Chinese painter, who lived in the eighth century. He was a master painter and had been commissioned by the Tang Emperor Xuanzong, to decorate a palace wall. He made a wonderful painting on the palace wall. When the painting had been completed, he called the emperor its exquisite beauty. The emperor was stunned with his creation. When the emperor was admiring the painting, the master painter clapped his hands; a door of the cave in the painting opened; Wu Daozi entered the door and the door closed. And the painting disappeared. Wu Daozi was never seen again.
The anecdote about the Dragon’s eye mentioned in Chinese literature was a legend that a famous Chinese painter refused to draw the eye of a dragon he had painted for he feared it would fly out of the painting.
By going inside the painting, he made the King realize that though he was the King of the outer world, yet he had no knowledge of the inner world. Only a master like him knew the way within.
The way refers to the knowledge and wisdom of going into the inner, spiritual world.
Such anecdotes and legends were integral part of Chinese classical education. These stories helped the maters to guide their disciples in the right direction.
