It may explain why they invented chopsticks... lack of focus... whereas the
western world has a no-nonsense fork, knife, and spoon... stab the meat.. no
slight intended... just always wondering... and blathering...
Somewhat interesting...

Vic, thanks for the interesting link in "Mind the Chinese...". I think
that
your post raises a wide range of cutural image perception issues. For me,
a
line or series of elements with visual flow from the low left to high right
in an image has a dynamic and on-going quality, while a similar structure
going from low right to high left seems regressive. Is this the same
perception as one who reads from right to left ? Do others who read from
left to right (as I do) have the up-and-to-the-right as "positive", or is
it
a consequence of math graphs with +x,+y in the upper right quadrant ?
