生涯規劃究竟指為何？事實上，生涯是包括了生命與生活， 而生命目標之圓滿達成，正是靠每日生活經驗之積累，因此生涯規劃，決不能好高騖遠的堆砌生命之空中樓閣，而是確實的正視自己，瞭解自我，觀察社會環境後，平穩踏實的規劃出生活的每一天。此即生涯發展論學者舒伯博士為生涯下的定義：「生涯乃生活中各事件的演進方向與過程，統合了人的一生中各種職業、生活角色，並藉此展現出個人獨特的自我發展型態來。」
…… 本書在生活層面之基礎上，嘗試性的從事橫斷面的概念擴充，針對人們日常生活經常面臨之課題，譬諸人際關係、壓力處理、兩性關係、宗教信仰、電腦與生活、休閒活動、時間管理等，納入於本書架構中，真正落實每一個體對於自我能力、興趣 以及周遭社會環境之瞭解，使生涯規劃更顯周延，進而達成舒伯所謂的「將生涯輔導概念轉化為實際的生涯選擇與生活方式，並藉此適切的角色行為，同時滿足個人與社會的需求。」

It is common to read the histories of the arts of China and Japan without encountering mention of women. I myself have been teaching East Asian art history for over twenty years, and have usually done so without ever discussing a single female artist. If questioned by my students, I might provide a name or two, usually that of Kuan Tao-sheng (1262―1319), the wife of Chao Meng-fu, the foremost painter and calligrapher of the early Yuan period. Basically, art historians have regarded the art of China and Japan as a patriarchal tradition, allowing for the occasional wife or concubine to appear briefly, but attending to the essential male identity of the East Asian cultural tradition.

That this long practice is false and unacceptable is evident. As this volume demonstrates, not only were there many women active as artists in both China and Japan throughtout history, there were women in both tradtions whose stature and influence should be regarded as central to the long vitality of East Asian art. Moreover, no evaluation or understanding of the artistic , cultural, and philosophical traditions of China and Japan is really possible without comprehension of the feminine components that have shaped and influenced the whole …
