首先，它是艺术品，而不是假照片。但是细节是如此生动和引人注目，以至于很容易被误认为是一张照片。鉴于艺术品传递出的强大能量，许多人被视觉图像震撼却不知具体原因。打动我们的，是如下这些被画作唤醒的内置在我们心理中的符号。

将该艺术品称为伪造照片或篡改照片，就像将毕加索的Guernica称为伪造照片一样。莫里森要求乌合麒麟道歉，就像纳粹要求毕加索道歉。格尔尼卡比卡通形象更“伪”，卡通形象真实地唤起了澳大利亚战争罪行的残酷和嗜血。

画作所使用的颜色几乎是迷幻的，与令人毛骨悚然的细节形成鲜明对比。由黑色，绿色和黄色三种颜色组成的阿富汗国旗在这里出现了。黑色象征19世纪英国的入侵，红色象征着为抵抗英国殖民统治而寻求独立而牺牲的鲜血和生命。绿色象征着奋斗后的美好甜蜜和平与繁荣。

但是，我们看到绿色的黑洞意味着和平美好的未来受到严重损害。

我们只看到红色和绿色，而没有黑色的“英国殖民入侵”部分。取而代之的是带有澳大利亚殖民地象征的蓝色澳大利亚国旗。这就是说新的殖民统治者已经取代了旧的统治者，特别是盎格鲁圈。它在左侧占据了很大的空间，这意味着新的殖民力量更加强大和险恶。如果仔细观察，在澳大利亚蓝旗下有许多“土墩”，暗示着更多的战争罪行，这些罪行被隐藏起来，并受到该旗的认可、掩盖和保护。

最令人震惊的图像是中间，一个强大而残酷的澳大利亚大兵满面笑容地手持匕首，正要将一个抱着小羊羔的孩子的喉咙割断。这个孩子完全是无助的。请注意，孩子的脸被蓝色的澳大利亚国旗遮盖着，这意味着这是另一起由国家认可的、保护和隐昧的谋杀案。（国家的）宣传使士兵对人类的苦难视而不见。他以西方价值观的名义犯下了令人发指的罪行！割喉不是被发明的细节。澳大利亚士兵确实大肆割裂了孩子们的喉咙，以防止他们大喊大叫，并将他们装在袋中扔进河里。现实比卡通要可怕得多。

请注意，士兵站在蓝色的澳大利亚国旗上。那就是他从中汲取力量的地方，例如，西方国家系统性地放纵、纵容和赞同战争罪行，这已成为战争的一部分。

这个孩子站在阿富汗国旗的红色部分，这意味着他们的斗争和牺牲尚未结束。

这个孩子抱着一只羊羔。这象征着纯真，被害和无助。但是，羊羔也是西方古典绘画中经常与基督结合使用的象征。在拉切尔（Rachael）的画中，我们看到男婴耶稣基督抱着羔羊，而玛利亚怀着极大的同情心注视着他。

他们画中的羔羊也象征着耶稣基督的命运，耶稣基督因人类的原罪（杀人的嗜血？）而被钉上十字架。但是自从耶稣基督复活以来，羔羊也象征着永恒的灵魂。正如耶稣所说：“温顺的人将继承大地”。残酷的力量看上去很强大，但这只是暂时的。石头看起来比花坚固。但是，花朵的优雅和讯息虽然脆弱，却更加强大。它的信息是永恒的。

澳大利亚，习惯上被认为是基督教国家。但在这个画作中，澳大利亚由这个残酷而丑陋的、正在屠杀的反基督主义者代表。

澳大利亚谈论了中国对西方价值观的威胁。这种西方价值观被证明是西方自由，他们可以在不受阻吓和反对的情况下大规模杀害无辜者。如果中国宣布澳大利亚战争罪名成立，那么西方集团就会感到集体受到威胁。这些所谓的西方价值观已经与传统的西方价值观本身背道而驰，成为反基督主义者。

斯科特·莫里森（Scott Morrison）与士兵站在一起，与孩子和羔羊敌对。

中国与孩子和羔羊站在一起，与士兵和澳大利亚/西方的国家机器和宣传敌对。

通过这项艺术作品，中国向世界宣告，它不再对无辜者和温顺者的痛苦视而不见。它将攻击杀人的西方价值观——这些价值观允许无辜人民遭到大规模屠杀。

寓言绘画和基督教象征是西方的传统。有人奇怪为什么西方没有人了解这种艺术？

顺便说一句，为什么#UighurGenocide没有产生任何有力的艺术？因为它是假的。没有这样的事情。这个世界已经习惯于伪造人类苦难的表象，以至于当某种真实而强大的事物出现时，人们的精神就决堤般地被感动了，以至于它立即引起了国际上的心理轰动。

这才是艺术！画作没有错。只有斯科特·莫里森（Scott Morrison）那迟钝、麻木而又愚蠢的灵魂才能保持不被感染。 他的思想被仇恨和宣传所毒害。

为澳大利亚感到羞耻！

Art appreciation 101 for Scott Morrison of the cartoon painting by Wuhe Qilin used by Zhao Lijian

First of all, it's an artwork and not a fake photo. But the details are so vivid and striking that it could be easily mistaken for a photo. And given the powerful energy conveyed by a work of art, many people are disturbed by the visual image without exactly knowing why. These are symbols built into our psyches which are being called out to haunt us here.

To call this artwork a fake photo or doctored photo is like calling Picasso's Guernica a fake photo. Morrison asking Wuhe Qilin to apologize is like Nazi asking Picasso to apologize. Guernica is more "fake" than the  cartoon image which is an authentic mild evocation of Aussie war crimes which are a lot more brutal and bloodthirsty.

The colors used are very pretty almost psychedelic contrasting harshly with the macabre details. The Afghan flag which is composed of three colors, black green and yellow are represented here. Black symbolises the British invasion in the 19th century. Red symbolizes the  blood shed/life  sacrificed in Afghan resistance to seek independence from the British colonial rule. Green symbolizes the sweet peace and prosperity to be savoured in the future after the struggle. However we see black holes in the  green meaning projected peaceful beautiful future is severely  compromised.

We only see the red and green represented whereas the black "British colonial invasion" part is absent. It's replaced by the blue Aussie flag which also bears the UK colonial symbol. This is saying that new colonial master has replaced the old, and in particular the Anglosphere. It occupies a large space on the left meaning new colonial power is more powerful and menacing. If one looks closely,  there were mounds under the Aussie blue flag hinting at a lot more war crimes which are hidden and state sanctioned, covered and protected  by the flag.

The most striking image is the child holding the lamb in the middle whose throat is about to be slit by a strong brutal big Aussie soldier with a knife in his hand leering with glee taking visible pleasure in the exploit. The child is utterly helpless. Note that the child's face is veiled by the blue Aussie flag, meaning it's just another state-sanctioned murder protected and hidden by the flag. The propaganda has rendered the soldier blind to human suffering. He is committing a heinous crime in the name of Western values! Throat slitting is not an invented detail. Aussie soldiers did wantonly slit the throats of children to prevent them from screaming out for help, put them in bags and dumped into a river. Reality is a lot more horrendous than the cartoon.

Note that the soldier kneels on the blue Aussie flag. That's where he draws his strength from, ie, the systemic Western state indulgence/condonement/endorsement of war crimes which has been part of the art of war.

The child stays on the red part of the Afghan flag, meaning their struggle and sacrifice  are not over yet.

The child holds a lamb. This symbolizes the innocence, the victimhood and the helplessness. However the lamb is also a symbol frequently used in association with Christ in classical Western paintings. In Rachael's paintings we see baby boy Jesus Christ holding a lamb with Mother Mary looking on with immense compassion. The lamb in their paintings also symbolizes the fate of Jesus Christ who was crucified for the original sin of humanity (the murderous bloodthirstiness?). However since later Jesus Christ was resuscitated, the lamb also symbolizes the eternal soul. As Jesus said, "The meek shall inherit the earth". The brutal force looks powerful but it's temporary. A stone looks stronger than a flower.  But the grace and the message of a flower, though fragile, is more powerful. Its message is  eternal.

Australia, a supposed Christian nation, embodied by this brutal ugly soldier is made out to be the slaughtering anti-Christ.

Australia talks a lot about China's threat to Western values. Such Western values turn out to be the Western liberty to mass murder the innocents without being deterred and opposed. If China calls out the Aussie war crimes, then the western bloc feels collectively threatened. These so called Western values have turned against the traditional Western values themselves and have become anti-Christ.

Scott Morrison stands with the soldier against the child and the lamb.

China stands with the child and the lamb against the soldier and the Aussie/Western state machines and propaganda.

With this art work, China has declared to the world that it's no longer turning a blind eye to the suffering of the innocent and the meek. It will attack the murderous Western values which allowed such mass slaughtering of innocent people to happen.

Allegorical paintings and Christian symbols are Western traditions. One wonders why nobody in the West has understood such art?

Incidentally, why #Uighurgenocide hasn't produced any powerful art? Because it's fake. There's no such thing. The world is so used to fake representation of human suffering that when something real and powerful comes along, ethos is so unbearably moving, that it immediately creates an international psychological sensation.

This is art! There's no mistake about it. Only the obtuse numbed dumbed soul of Scott Morrison can stay impervious to it. His mind is poisoned by hate and propaganda.

Shame on Australia!
