Nudity in art and nude modeling were introduced into China almost one century ago. When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling.

Their ancestor, they believe, is Emperor Chiwu, a legendary warrior who engaged in fighting with the Yellow Emperor. They have spoken – not written – language. The inhabitants share a worship of trees as they believe their life has been blessed by the God of Trees. In addition, most major festivals and events are held in the trees. If people get married, the witness is two intertwining trees. When a baby is born, the elders will plant a tree for them. When people die, a tree will be cut down and made into a coffin which continues to stay with their owners. The tome is quite austere, with only a new tree planted on the ground beneath which the dead are buried. There are less than 1,000 people living in the tribe now, ...
