Welcome to the SOH Radio Network, the home of Ancient Tales of Wisdom. Hello again, this is Grace Mann. Today’s story from Ancient China is simply titled: Two Artists.

After their teacher passed away, Master Zhang and Master Ding both wanted to explore their artistic futures.

Our narrative today discusses how Chinese architects consciously and respectfully harmonized their buildings with the environment – and mankind with their world and the heavens.
This is Grace Mann. Today in Ancient Tales of Wisdom, our storyline is a little different, and it tells of ancient China’s architecture and its correlation and harmony between the heavens and earth. It is entitled Chinese Architecture, a Miniature of the Cosmos.
