Nan De Hu Tu, 18th Dec., 2010.

Francis T. Lui (雷鼎鸣) wrote an article about the famous Chinese painter Banqiao Zheng (郑板桥, 1693-1765), and how his life relates to F. A. Hayek's work. He created the saying "Nan de hu tu (难得糊涂)," or "Where ignorance is bliss, it's folly to be wise."  I do not understand most of the references, which means Professor Lui has put F. A. Hayek's thinking into Chinese cultural contexts.
