GLITCH "JIE ZI YUAN"
Abstract
“Jie Zi Yuan”- A Comparative Reading
Two process inside the Glitch of “Jie Zi Yuan” images.
First, For Human Beings
“Jie Zi Yuan” is published in Qing dynasty around 400 years ago. It is one of the
most famous traditional training books for drawing. From Chinese Landscape to
Flower and bird, the 4 volumes contain most main part of Chinese traditional paintings.
This is an autarchic and rigid drawing system. Those books are used to cultivate young

This is an autarchic and rigid drawing system. Those books are used to cultivate young
painters in China. It deeply rooted from feudalization social system in China. The long
history cultivate this kinds of rules in drawing is quite similar as the strict hierarchical
rules in the society.

For now, I recognize it is not a simple issue that our ancestor invented a series of boring
methods on how to draw each stroke and how to design the composition. Actually, this
series of book is not only a drawing and learning material. The deep reason behind this
book is “how we look at the world” in that ancient level from our former painter’s eye.
In that early period and based on certain productivity level and esthetic tropism. Past
through several centuries, those authors summarized this series of methods. The deep
issue behind this drawing system is a kind of way of thinking. It is very mature and
without any “unreasonable” actions. Lots of the great Chinese painters were start from
this strict traditional training. So, in some degree, the first thing they learned were abidance.
They felt and learned this the same way in all education systems and all the traditional
Chinese culture during their lives. It is certain forbidden and restriction.

Second, For Computers
“Glitch” means a kind of error in a program of a process that happened. Here is interesting
that this error happened in some images. Because we define it is an “Error” is because the image
is not displayed properly. In this process, we think the error based on our visual decision. Another
that this error happened in some images. Because we define it is an “Error” is because the image
is not displayed properly. In this process, we think the error based on our visual decision. Another
interesting point is all we saw from a screen is kinds of data visualization thing. It means the
computer will have to translate its information for human being to read and understand.
There are no right or wrong images for computer to decide. It function as translate and decode
those images for people to read.

The data or raw source data for an image could be understand in this way, it is the same function
as a super strict instruction to operate the computer to translate those data to a visual image for
human beings. It doesn’t need to be decode when transfer between computers. Follow this thought,
those data stuff for an image just like a “Jie Zi Yuan” rule designed for computer to run. The function
is similar, it tells the computer how to “draw” the image for human beings. So, it is a code edition
“Jie Zi Yuan” for computer.

Third, A Tricky
I chose some images from “Jie Zi Yuan” and I decode them with Text-editor, then I paste the long
instruction that is the content of the book into its text file. It is kind of paradox that the instructions
was the former people summarized how to draw certain object. But here the instruction is for people.
The code thing we saw in text-editor is kind of the computer know how to draw this image. Then, I put
this information all together. It will come out some errors. It is merged “instruction” to operate the
display process. The instruction from the image itself will definitely confuse the computer itself.
