Exhibition Overview
The traditional East Asian lunar calendar consists of a repeating 12-year cycle, with each year corresponding to one of the 12 animals in the East Asian zodiac (rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig). These animals were first associated with the lunar calendar in China in the third century B.C., becoming firmly established by the first century. Each animal is believed to embody certain traits expressed in the character of the people born in that year. This Lunar New Year, which begins on February 16, 2018, is the Year of the Dog. People born in this year are thought to be active, loyal, and vigilant.
Commonly known as "man's best friend," the dog, as one of the earliest domesticated animals, has long performed many essential tasks, including hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, and companionship. Archaeological evidence indicates that dogs were buried to accompany the deceased as early as in China's Shang dynasty (ca. 1500–1046 B.C.). By the Han dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 220), dogs were frequently represented in painting and metalwork, as well as in pottery tomb figures, and they remained a popular motif across all media for two millennia.
To celebrate the Year of the Dog, this exhibition presents a selection of remarkable works, exclusively from The Met collection, that illustrate the animal's close association with Chinese daily life.

德國媒體：中國的新一輪「大躍進」
（德國之聲中文網）德國《南德意志報》發表了題為"空氣大躍進"（Luftsprung）的文章，關注北京人為什麼又可以開始暢快呼吸了。
文章在開頭寫道："乾燥的沙漠性氣候，鮮有降雨、天空時常呈現出近乎不現實的特藝彩色般的藍：從自然條件來說，北京其實是一個有著深受攝影愛好者喜歡的好天氣的地方。可惜的是，過去幾年中這個城市幾乎看不到好天氣，而只有霧霾。中國有些城市的居民甚至說狗會沖著藍天汪汪叫喊，因為它們不知道藍天是什麼。而如今的北京，可以讓狗狗們好好喊一陣子了--北京人正在體驗他們的藍色奇跡：多年來最美的冬季天空。本週拜訪中國的法國總統馬克洪也感嘆到'我還從來沒有見過這樣的北京'。"
