TCM - Flash graphics of the Channels & Vessels [in Chinese]

[Guest guest]

I agree with Homes - I think the naked lady is a little offensive. It's not

the nudity, it's that the proportions of the model and the posture of the

pose look a little like a pin-up. Ultimately it gives the graphics a kind of

" kitsch " esthetic, probably unintended.

I totally disagree. There is nothing wrong with the posture, rather they are

professional postures used in anatomy. I can't see anything 'pin up' about

it at all.

 

Perhaps you are looking at her facial expression, which is a little off.

It's not that easy to notice, takes years to learn how to 'read' Asian

faces. Look me years to know when my Asian wife was happy or not. Having

said that, most westerns see Asian faces as cold and harsh, a common error

which I have done many times.

 

I would say that the Chinese model used in the flash teaching material has

had her armpits shaved. A very uncommon thing in China. It may of been made

for foreign markets as well and does illustrate the professional quality of

the model.

I agree with Attilio, i didn't see anything wrong with it. I showed it to my

wife, who is not

an acupuncturist but is a distance learning professional. She thought the

presentation was

well-done, and didn't seem at all offended.
