Bibliography:

  • Cultural Metaphors in China: A Visual Experience of Hierarchy and Status Symbols[1]
    • This is a study published by the University of International Business and Economics, so it should be reliable. It covers in depth the cultural significance and symbolism involved Chinese culture, including the significance of Wenshou and animal symbolism.
  • Teaching About China with Inquiry and Artifacts[2]
    • This is an article featured in a published textbook so it should be a reliable source. It explains the practical and symbolistic uses for Wenshou within Chinese architecture.
  • Symbolism of Animals in Buddhism[3]
    • This is a published journal article in the Buddhist Himalaya, so it should be reliable. It contains explanations of what a few of the more common Wenshou animals symbolize.

Outline of proposed changes

  • The only existing text within the article is a simple definition of Wenshou, but it does not cite a source for the definition
    • I plan on only slightly rephrasing this definition, so that it aligns better with the definitions in my 1st reference[1]
    • This will remain the opener for the article
    • After the opener, I plan on adding a picture example from one of my sources
  • Next, I will have a body paragraph to explain the cultural significance and uses for Wenshou in Chinese culture and architecture
    • This will use information from my first two references[1][2]
    • I will then list examples of architecture that include Wenshou and provide pictures
  • My second body paragraph I plan on delving into the symbolism of the different animals commonly used as Wenshou
    • This will primarily use information from the third reference[3]

I believe that organizing the article in this way will create a fluid and easily understandable article. By using the information in my sources I am confident that I can provide sufficient information to explain what Wenshou are and how they are used in Chinese architecture.
