These 2 pieces (the other one is Language or Experiences I) should be seen comparatively as their compositions are almost the same,  both in language and experiences, as well as the elements - circles, bird and shrimp. However, people prefer to make judgment according to the existing language systems and experiences. Actually there aren’t any significance to these two paintings, but I still choose to hang the shrimp on the tree, which doesn’t seem to make any sense! One would find it very strange, why is the shrimp hanging on the tree? Why the poses of bird and shrimp seem to be alike? The sun is painted in red and why the other in black? Why the background dust in gold but the other in silver?
"In this way, I have set up an entrapment, it is precisely because people depend deeply on language and experience, they will fall into such trap, and I would have succeeded in provoking these thoughts." says Sun Xun.
