Richardson notes that serpents play a positive role in Chinese culture history that is betrayed on the Chinese vase, as it is shown to be monstrous, ugly, and gaudy. Similarly to the poem "The Song of the 'Chinese Nightingale'", this poem sheds light on Chinese culture in a respectable way, highlighting its important images and artistic techniques showing that the author, a Westhampton College woman, has an interest in Chinese culture.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Catherine Branch Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1929 Description An account of the resource Elizabeth Gill, a Westhampton Student was widely involved around campus. In her time as a student she was on the 1928 Sophomore Women play committee, the 1929 vice president of the Debaters club, the Assistant Editor of the 1929 Messenger, and the 1931 Westhampton May Queen. She writes a short story describing the romantic but yet isolated feeling that accompanies a beautiful traditional Chinese Tea-Room, possibly shadowing the excitement contrasted with isolation and discrimination felt by Chinese students at Richmond College. Close attention should be paid to some of the phrasing that Gill chooses to use to represent the Chinese characters in her story ( i.e.: "stories of gods and heroes painted by a yellow skinned artist..." as the prejudiced behavior that Chinese students experienced becomes clear. However, focus should also be drawn to the descriptive way that Gill discusses Chinese arts, items, traditions, and rituals as it shows that there was a general interest in learning more about Chinese culture and ways in which it was different than American culture, possibly alluding to the interest in American students to learn more from and about their Chinese peers.
