CHINESE ART
The huge area of the country of China has also highly influenced the art and architecture of this country. The Chinese arts are also different because of the cultural influence, due to the rule of the different dynasties. There are various forms of art which are in practice in China like, fine arts, performance arts and folk arts.
Art in China began its journey from the Neolithic era. In the rule of the Shang Dynasty bronze was used to make many items. The Shang dynasty is not only famous for the beautiful bronze structure and also for the litera- ture, music and poetry. One most important aspect of Chinese art is porce- lain which gave China world wide fame.
In the 1st century AD with the coming of Buddhism in China, the art of calligraphy and painting flourished highly in China. Much calligraphy was done on the Chinese silks especially for royal courts. The sculpture and architecture which was influenced by Buddhism began in the Sui and Tang dynasty. There was also influence from India which was reflected in the art and architecture of the Tang dynasty.

The intergalactic criminal Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement) is aid-
ed in escape by his girlfriend, Lily Poison (Nicole Scherzinger), from the LunarMax prison on Earth’s moon. He is intent on going back in time and
killing Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones), who on July 16, 1969, shot off his arm
and captured him. After investigating a spaceship crash in New York City,
and following a skirmish in a Chinese restaurant, Boris appears, and K and
J give chase. Boris reveals to K, “you are already dead, you just don’t know
it yet”, and then disappears in an explosion. K deduces that Boris has es-
caped, and K regrets not having killed him. He returns to his apartment,
where all traces of him disappear. Agent J (Will Smith), however, still re-
members K, though no one else at Men in Black headquarters does.
Agent O (Emma Thompson), the new Chief deduces from J’s statements
that a fracture has occurred in the space-time continuum. The two realize Boris
must have time-jumped to 1969 and killed K, resulting in an imminent inva- sion of Earth by his race, the Boglodites, due to the absence of the protective ArcNet shield around Earth, installed by K in 1969. Aided by electronic-shop owner Jeffrey Price, son of Boris’ fellow prisoner Obadiah Price, who created the time-travel device, J time-jumps off the Chrysler Building to reach time- travel velocity (Jeffrey also cryptically, though excitedly, informing J that the reason he remembers K where nobody else can is because he was ‘there’). With only 24 hours to stop Boris, J arrives a day before Boris kills K.
