I was inching slowly forward in a queue at the Palace Museum, the Forbidden City, in Beijing last weekend. Awaiting inspection was a scroll painting from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The couple next to me began musing about the figures in the painting.
"Who are these people? Is it a man or a woman?"
"I guess it's a man; he's got a goatee."
