Chinese flowers vs. American birds It seems today that the Chinese wallpaper that covers whole rooms with its florid arrangements and lively figures is just like folk painting, dominating not so much to be pretty and clean as to make up for a certain dissatisfaction with the small landscapes on porcelain and lacquer ware and bring all of "China" into the room.
中國花鳥 VS．美洲鳥類今天看來，這些環繞全室的中國壁紙，花團錦簇、人物鮮活，更像是巨幅的民俗畫；它們主宰一室，顯然不是為了「美觀清爽」，而更像是不滿足於瓷器、漆器上的小景山水，而企圖把整個「中國」搬進室內。
