When Cherrett moved into "figure painting" I was expecting the paucity of trivia in the book to be no more. However, I was wrong.
Up to the point Cherrett has done little to bring in actual lore. Yet, when she mentions such legendary figures as Chung K'uei, it's hard to imagine her doing much else than devoting a sentence or two to these famous names. Cherrett does nothing of the sort, though. Instead she repeats the names of famous figures throughout her chapter on figures.
It's fine to know such names, but it would be inspiring to actually read what gave them an enduring name in the first place.
