The whole scroll, which is called He-Gassen (“The Fart Battle”) is just about people farting. Farting at other people, farting at cats, farting off of horses, farting into bags; just farting everywhere. The whole manuscript digitized, without ridiculous censorship bars, is here.  Coming from Medieval Studies, I’m more familiar with the ridiculousness found in marginalia.

zuky: nezua: Chinese artist Chen Wenling’s commentary on Wall Street, What You See Might Not Be Real To make this huge sculpture even funnier, the Mandarin Chinese equivalent to the English expression “to bullshit” (i.e. to deceive with false information) is fàngpì which literally means “farting”, so this piece has “the people” getting lifted and slammed against the wall and rammed in the ass by the bullshit-propelled horns of Wall Street.

Chinese artist Chen Wenling’s commentary on Wall Street, What You See Might Not Be Real

To make this huge sculpture even funnier, the Mandarin Chinese equivalent to the English expression “to bullshit” (i.e. to deceive with false information) is fàngpì which literally means “farting”, so this piece has “the people” getting lifted and slammed against the wall and rammed in the ass by the bullshit-propelled horns of Wall Street.
