	Jian Wang - About the Artist
		Jian Wang was born in Dalian in 1958.
		With a mixture of Jian Wang’s paintings and James Scarborough’s words, the reader is taken on a journey through the artwork-the rapid brushstroke, the quality of light, the maestro leading his way through the symphony of color and form.
		Jian Wang’s buffet of visual delights emerges from the concept of method itself of the painter’s technique, of the practice of applying paint.

	Taiji Jian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Jian form is unlike the open-handed form in that it is practiced at a relatively fast pace with a changing rhythm and includes additional useful physical movements that are not encountered, or are encountered with less emphasis in the Wu Style open's handed form.
		Jian practice has been particularly useful as an example of integrating these yin and yang qualities in action because each movement must integrate yin and yang resulting in gentle but strong movements.
		My experience with the Taiji Jian has shown me that the health, spiritual, and martial aspects of Taiji are indeed all interdependent and that for me, despite my lack of interest in stabbing anyone with a sword, studying this Taiji weapon has increased the benefits of Taiji in all of these domains.

	The Hanwei Qi Jian... any good? - Sword Forum International
		Also, if you are looking for a practice jian, the Qi Jian I received was unsharpened, although the jan (tip) is quite sharp, and I'm positive if you decide to have the entire length of the jian professionally polished/sharpened it will definately hold an edge.
		From research, it seems that Northern style jian were longer and narrower than Southern style jian as a reflection of the tendancy for Northern Peoples to be of a taller and slighter build than the Southern Peoples of China.
		Perhaps since the Qi Jian is entirely forged from a single billet of high carbon steel this may account for the deviation in POB when compared to other jian.

	Jian Dao - The Way of The Sword
		Understand that the Chinese Jian has a history of over four thousand years and the shape, weight, length, and other characteristics of the weapon underwent a vast amount of changes (please refer to Zhan Lu Sword products to see some of the differences).
		The hand guards of jian were not traditionally flat which is the common design of the jians used today.
		Many of them are not knowledgeable of the concepts of 'Qi' or 'Jing' but possibly use them as the skills and strategies that were critical to their own survival (some USE it but doesn't know what to call "it").

	supernaut ... i whore for art ... cui jian - the father of chinese rock n roll
		Despite this, Cui Jian's following increased because fans identified with his lyrics and longings for political freedoms in the wake of the new economic boom. This culminated in the 1989 Tiananmen Square student movement in which Cui Jian performed at the protest in support of the students. His song, "Nothing to my Name" was hailed as the movement's anthem.
		Cui Jian: No. I think the manufacturers are very destroyed by piracy and the government is not really trying to control and stop this The other thing is lip synching It's like the real musicians have no royalty and don't have a chance to play. Actually, it's changing now, but it's pretty slow.
		Cui Jian: I think that music festivals, clubs, and record companies can really change the Chinese music scene, but I believe there is no festival or record company doing a good job in China.

		The insight into Chinese culture Jian provided was valuable enough to make the book worth the read in much the same way as Chrighton's Rising Sun was for Japanese culture; the masterful plot was just an added bonus.
		In this novel Eric captures the reader with this thought provoking journey of historic place and time, with the" Jian" Shi Zilin, wise, shrewd and crafty, who is forced to sacrifies his beloved family all for the good of his country China.
		And although Nichiren (who tricks Jake's wife to going to Japan to hold her captive) and Jake Maroc are mortal enemies, the hatred that they feel for one another consumes and threatens to destroy them both, yet unbeknownest to each there is a blood bond that ties they together forever.
