Comment

(A1, A2) Timely title/Catch-phrase (wishes success in business)

(A3) Rational text explaining that having a good sight is essential for being sucessful in business (autority and health appeal), based on the autority/findings of an expert in ophtalmology.

NB Rich lexical field related to "sight" and "seeing": 

  • sight, vision, gaze (litteral sense) : 目光 (muguang); figurative sense: 眼光 (yanguang)
  • glasses, spectacles : 眼鏡 (yanjing)
  • opthtalmology : 眼科 yanke -> reveal the emergence of a new science/field of expertise, and that glasses are now related to health and science (rather than appearance, social distinction: cf. Arnold, 1919), as well as to money, business and success (and implicitly to men/male user and intelligence: a gendered access to health, glasses, vision, business, money and success);
  • to check, examine, inspect (檢 jian, 騐 yan)
