The movement to revitalize traditional learning is well on its way to success now that it has a pin-up girl.<\/p>\n

Bai Luming, a 19-year-old student at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, claims to be a 53rd-generation descendant of the poet Bai Juyi.<\/p>\n

I’ve asked people, do you know what my greatest talent is? Their reply: I don’t know. My greatest talent is seduction, and not even Confucius is out of the question. Confucius said “Appetite for food and sex is human nature”; If I go to relieve his thousands of years of loneliness, he’ll definitely be pleased.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Guoxue<\/i> Spice Girl”, as she is known, posts samples of her poetry to demonstrate her commitment to guoxue<\/i>, as well as photos of herself imitating Britney Spears to demonstrate her commitment to seduction. The photo above was taken in a Confucian temple.<\/p>\n

Here’s her mission statement:<\/p>\n

\n

I am traditional, because I come from a grand traditional family<\/p>\n

I am lofty, because I have devoted myself to guoxue<\/i><\/p>\n

I am charming, because I am a pretty girl<\/p>\n

I am proud, because I have a great, great body<\/p>\n

I dance to soar above the world<\/p>\n

I throw out my chest to show off my assets<\/p>\n

I shake my hips to move my ass<\/p>\n

I toss my head in reckless abandon<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Prevailing attitudes online: it’s all probably just a bunch of self-promotion, but she’s sure easier on the eyes than Sister Hibiscus.<\/p>\n

Lots more pictures at Daqi<\/a>, along with two videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n
