Hi George

Many thanks. Steven  and  I  worked   very  hard  on this   translation  and  I think  we  both   learned a  lot   from   cooperating on it.

I certainly  got a  lot  more  out  than  I ever  put in  to the   project  ( and  I put  in  over  one  week   elapsed   time)

I think  it's  a  key   stepping   stone  document  for   those   who want to  really  understand  the  Very   Modern  Inside Painted  Bottle  field.

As with  all  things,  the  more  one  puts  in , the  more  one  gets  out.

That's   also  a  key-note  theme  for  our   Forum  !

Passers-by  and  lurkers   will  get  nothing  out.  But  those   who  devote   time and  energy  to participating in this Forum will enjoy a richness (if that's  not  a  too  excessive  word !)  of knowledge.... and    fun !

Here's to  the  Forum !

Cheers
Peter

PS:  I am not a  big  collector  of  Yuan  Shijia  (so far )  but I have   collected  a few of   what I think  are  some of  his   seminal works.  The  very  first  bottle  of  Yuan Shijia   which I  bought   was  actually on my  very  first  Hengshui    trip,  purchased    via  Li Shouxun,    in 2009. So this is  not a  big  personal  push  for   YSJ  as a  collector of his   works :  it's  more  that  I  think  YSJ  typifies  the  best of  the  best  VMIPB   artists  - and  he  has  WGY's  endorsement   which  is   worth   10,000  x  more  than  my endorsement !
