Human's body need to drink a lot of water throughout the day to maintain the hydration. Except of pure water, the water also came from different beverages, the coffee on morning to the afternoon tea. And people came from different areas also have different flavors of beverages and different drinking cultures. Drink's culture has also spawned many subsidiary cultures in different fields, like the soda drinks in fast food restaurants, coffee shops becoming a businesses place, bars surround the consumption of beverages containing ethanol as a recreational drug and social lubricant. A lot of the interaction between people starts with a drink.
China In Posters is an exhibition that will show the history of Chinese posters and the development of Chinese graphic design. In the mid-19th century, China’s economy was gasping for air; Britain, dependent on the East Asian country’s rich resources, enforced trade agreements that predictably worked in their favor. The earliest posters in the show advertise soap, candles, fabric dye. They’re all marked with a pastel palette, glamorous women and utopian teatime –very Victorian, very Versailles. Things take a dark turn in the late 1930s, with a collection of violent military posters ahead of the second Sino-Japanese war, one which reads: Military First – Victory First. Things took an even stranger turn in 1949, when Mao Zedong came to power, as Chinese posters were made with overt overtones of Soviet socialist realism. Most of which date to the 1950s through the 1970s, depict colorful scenes of peasants, soldiers and working-class people with political messages that denounce capitalism and promote collective work. Many images include idolized representations of Mao. After 1989, the economic development gathers even more speed. China has opened itself to the outside world. Politics have disappeared from the posters, with the exception of the Return of Hong Kong and the struggle against Falun Gong. China's leaders are now seen as ordinary people and even Mao increasingly looks like a movie star. The struggle against SARS and the preparations for the Beijing Olympics 2008 receive a lot of attention. Stylistically, photo montage now dominates the posters.
