In this chapter, the writer talks about 2 forms of art namely Chinese and European art using different stories. In China, there was an emperor Xuanzong who has commissioned a painter for decorating the wall in the palace. The emperor saw and appreciated the outer look and beauty of the painting, the painter made his attention at the foot of the mountains, and he told him that, he will take him inside. And them the painter went in, but the emperor couldn't enter the painting. Then the narrator clapped his hands and the narrator and the cave vanished forever

A painter named Wu Daozi who lived in the eighth century was assigned to decorate a Palace wall by the Tang Emperor Xuanzong. It was his last painting. The painter hid his work behind the screen so the only emperor would see it. The Emperor upon looking at the painting admired many things into that painting like discovering forests, high mountains, waterfalls, floating clouds, men on hilly paths and birds in flight. The painter then made him look at a cave in the painting which was at the foot of the mountain and compared it with a living spirit. As the painter clapped his hands, the entrance of the cave opened and he let the emperor know how beautiful the inside of the cave was and he asked him to show all this to him. The painter entered the cave and the entrance closed behind him. The Emperor couldn’t enter the cave, as the Emperor was greatly surprised, the painting vanished from the wall. After that, the painter was never seen again.
These stories played an important role in classical education in China. Similarly, like the books of Confucius and Zhuangzi are full of such stories as they help the master to help and guide his followers in the right direction. These stories were considered to be deeply revealing of the spirit just like the art. There was another famous story, in contrast to the previous one, where the painter wouldn’t paint the eye of a dragon. He feared that the dragon would fly out from the painting.

The anecdotes present a study in contrast. The Chinese paintings are not as realistic and perfect as the European paintings but they have the essence of inner life and spirit
A Chinese landscape does not produce the actual view, the viewer can enter the painting from any point and is free to go up and down whereas in the European art the viewer has to borrow the eyes of the painter.

Difference between a Chinese art and a Western art.

The Chinese view of art is trying to achieve the essence of inner lifer and spirit. For example, Wu Daozi's painting was commissioned by the tang emperor Xuangzong and the emperor was only able to see the outer brilliance of the art. Although the painter wanted him to show the inner art of the painting but Xuangzong was unable to see it.

The western view of art is to create a perfect illusionistic likeness. For example, 15th century The father didn't allow a blacksmith to marry her daughter so the blacksmith painted a fly in his latest panel in the painters studio with delicate realism that the master tried to swat it away. The painter then got his daughter married to him

The chapter deals with some of the anecdotes. In the first anecdote , chinese painter , Wu  Daozi has been mentioned. He drew a landscape comprising of forest , river , blue sky , clouds and a cave at the foot of the mountain .When the painter was showing his work to the emperor, he claps his hands and an entrance to the cave opens where he gets in and vanishes. So it was because chinese painting are believed to be seen through the eyes of the painter . Moreover , the art should be admired through its inner mystical beauty . Similarly, there is another story about another popular Chinese painter who did not draw a dragon’s eye fearing it would become real and fly out of his painting. The third one about a master blacksmith, Quinten Metsys, who fell in love with the daughter of a painter. As the father was not accepting of his son-in-law belonging to such a profession, he still did so. He accepted Quinten because he painted a fly on his board. It had such a realism that it resembled a real one.

These differences likely come from the different philosophies that dominated these artistic cultures as they developed. While Chinese art, influenced by Taoism and Buddhism, was more interested in finding an eternal expression in a scene. Western art tended to be more influenced by Christian philosophy and sought to accurately represent scenes and landscapes as a mirror of the God’s nature..
