1973221164China. Circa1973-1976. Original colour propaganda cartoon painted in colour on paper 39.5 x 16.8cm. Minor wear at extremities with a little loss some closed tears across centre horizontal fold neatly repaired on the verso with washi paper. Image very clear. In good condition. This striking anti-Confucian cartoon directly attacks what were seen as obsolete and corrupt values. The intended targets are clearly signalled: “lackeyism” the “restoration of the emperor” and traditional Confucian ethics identified in the inscriptions on the flag and in the smoke rising from the yellow gourd. At the figure’s feet lie red cards bearing the Confucian virtues of loyalty propriety righteousness and benevolence now trampled and discarded. The central figure kneels in an outdated pose of submission marked by a top-knot hairstyle tied with ribbons archaic shoes and a long beard – all deliberate allusions to a feudal past. His red nose suggests moral corruption or weakness. Scattered yellow cards marked with black dots likely symbolise bribery corruption or collaboration with foreign powers. Together these elements create a damning image of a morally bankrupt backward-looking order. <br> <br>The cartoon was almost certainly produced during the “Criticise Lin Criticise Confucius” campaign of 1973–76 when traditional Confucian values were denounced as obstacles to revolutionary progress. . unknown

The very rare autographed copy of this lecture given in Lebanon on January 20, 1937, at the Youth Center, by Ostrorog after his serving in China as Assistant High Commissioner, a French diplomat from a noble Polish family, who had served as Assistant High Commissioner in China and Syria in the 1930s. Signed and inscribed by Ostrorog as "Par Mahid, Avec autre au mille amitié, Damas, 1938". On the eve of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) between the Chinese and the Empire of Japan which is often regarded as the beginning of World War II in Asia, French ex-Assistant High Commissioner in China Ostrorog gave a lecture about Chinese power and policy. Some titles from book: "La Chine.; Le monde au temps de Confucius.; Humanisme Confuceen.; Opposition de l'humanisme Chinois a la morale idealiste de l'occident.; Facteur grammatical.; Universalite des caracteres.; Facteur geographique.; Facteur moral.; La republique des philosophes.; Reaction de Huang Ti au 3me siecle avant notre ere.; Evolution historique dans le cadre de l'unite.; Isolement.; Arrivee des Europeens au XVIme siecle les marchands et les missionnaires.; La querelle des rites condamnation des Jesuites.; Eclat du couchant Kien Lung.; Lettre de Kien Lung a Georges III.; Guerre de l'Opium.; Qeuvre des missions en Chine.; Tseu-hi et Abdul-Hamid.; Le Japon.; Propagande de Moscou.; Succes du mouvement nationaliste.; Intervention Japonaise en Mandchourie.; L'Unite Chinoise menacee.; La Grande pitie.; L'avenir de la Chine.". From the last chapter: "In our contract, the Chinese until now have taken only the faults and vices of Western civilizations. There is, however, something else to choose from and perhaps the time is near when the Chinese will understand it. Whether they are few in number, fifty, forty, ten, or five only, that will suffice. And on that day, with the power of assimilation which has always characterized it, China will integrate, in a way, all the foreign contributions of a moral or cultural order, to rebuild its unity, to resume the continuity of his story, and rediscover his genius." Only two copies in OCLC: 42804470. Signed and inscribed by Stanislas Ostrorog.
