WORKS ELABORATION:
The creation concept of this group of works incorporates the philosophical system of Taoist thought on the issue of "origin", expressing the vitality and orderly rhythm of life formed by the convergence and integration of nature and heaven and earth. The important feature of Taoist aesthetics is that it emphasizes the super-functionality of aesthetics, which requires that aesthetic emotions must be an inward spiritual care. The core of Laozi's aesthetics is natural inaction, which contains the philosophical implication of conformity to purpose and law, so the Take rope materials as embryo is chosen to reflect the implicit regularity of the work.
