Physical Appreciation

People have no common feelings, paintings have no common flavor. What kind of life concept determines what kind of life attitude develops what kind of life pattern; a person's life temperament, character and thoughts determine a painter's artistic connotation and artistic style.
Art is an expression of human nature and human feelings, and the creativity of art is often the result of refusing to compromise under the pressure of the times, which inspires the brilliance of life, and the faithfulness to the real feelings of the artist is rather an extremely important element of artistic creation; the creation of art does not need to be confined to a fixed form, and what is important is that it should have philosophical connotations, literary sentiments, and aesthetic thoughts, and a good piece of artwork is bound to induce deep thinking and emotional resonance among the viewers. A good piece of artwork is bound to induce deep thinking and emotional sympathy in the viewer.
The artistry of the work is demonstrated in the repeated search for the true meaning, summarizing, simplifying, and virtualizing the mind and spirit along with the image, until the original sound of the substance emerges, just as Zhuang Zi's "Outside Objects" says: "The one who speaks cares about words, and forgets to speak when he gets what he wants." While depicting the realities of the world, it seems as if there is already a subtle thing in his inner world that he is searching for and longing to perceive and to see.

From Perception, Silence...
The inner voices of the painted objects sound from a distant and deep place; what erupts in the gaze and silence is a fleeting aura, as if it is a world stoppage full of the artist's philosophical thoughts. The hidden messages intercepted from the silence reflect the creator's vision of deepening into the nature of existence, and the perception of time beyond the object is to witness the sense of life of the material and the spatiality of time in the thickness of the accumulation, to stimulate the inner nature of life, to sublimate it into spiritual energy, and to lose sight of, and realize, the nature of the energy (the soul) in the gap created by the soul and the physical body, presenting a space that cannot be explained by language and words, and bringing a sense of eternity beyond the perception. It brings a sense of eternity that transcends perception.

A good artist is usually a good thinker; in the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin's poem "Jinser", "Zhuang Sheng's Dream of Butterflies" describes Zhuang Zhou's own transformation into a butterfly and the butterfly's seeming transformation into himself; and Zhuang Zi's "self-knowledge-centered philosophy" is also a good example.
(Self-Knowledge Centered Philosophy) the philosophical situation of forgetting oneself and the world has become a beautiful classical artistic text; Zhuang Zi (The Theory of Qi Matters) "the world is not greater than the end of the millimeter of the earth, and Taishan is small, and there is no longevity in Mourning, and Pengzu is premature" This kind of conclusion explains that in the tiniest millimeter of the earth, the world is big, and Taishan can be reduced to small, and in the life of Mourning, one can see eternity, while Pengzu's long life is premature. In the life of Mourning, one can see eternity, while Pengzu's long life is a life of premature death.
The metaphor of "not as far as far, not as near as near, not as big as many, not as small as few, heaven and earth are not big, not as small as a hair" creates a sense of "expansive spaciousness" and infinity is a sense of "unconstrained freedom" and unlimited possibilities. Zhuang Zi's philosophy of establishing aesthetics by describing the phenomena made Chinese aesthetics based on the basic experience of creation with a deeper context of thought and emotion; it illustrated that art, as a human behavior, was gradually upgraded from the initial skill to become a spiritual activity for human beings to express their thoughts and sentiments. Chinese painting is very different from the purely theoretical aesthetics of the West, completely shattering the world of knowledge built up by the past experiences of the East and the West.

Geometric perspective is a central human belief.
It is also a symbol of form and a view of the house.
In "Zhuang Zhou Dreams of Butterflies", the arrangement and combination of different dimensions reflect the attempts of futurism and cubism, breaking away from the realistic physical appearance and showing the purest form and appearance of the objects, revealing the trajectory of the metaphysical school of painting; metaphysical observation and contemplation not only expresses the choice of visual observation, but is also an exploration of the nature of static observation and the depicted objects. It also provides an absolute infinite space and time, encouraging us to transcend distance, length, size, and space in the universe, providing life with infinite freedom, and at the same time, in infinity, distance, size, length, can be freely disposed of at will, presenting the poetic space that emerges from the creator's interaction with the object, light, color, and time, and gazing into the spiritual space and time that is deeply illusory.
