"And so we leave behind the turbulence of symbols and approach a country that is immense, ancient, and yet very new, where meaning is so discrete as to become a rarity. From this moment on, a new territory is revealed: that of delicacy, or, better yet (I venture using this word, at the risk of having to take it up again later), of blandness."
- Roland Barthes (on China), 1975, Alors la Chine?
