Art should not be an empty imagination, nor should it be a forged paradise.
The noble mission of art is to reflect the truth, the goodness, the beauty
in the reality, and to criticize and change the false, the ugly and the evil in
the reality.
Art is beautiful, and its charm, spirituality, and moving things, if
they leave the pursuit of beauty, and only remain a poor pale body or phantom. Its charm, spirituality, and moving things if
they leave the pursuit of beauty, and there is only a poor pale body or
phantom.
The essence of art should be simplicity and sincerity
Some of the people who are engaged in artistic creation today, they are
contrary to the above principles. They are empty or insincere,
bluff, kick up a cloud of dust no matter what they are, no matter which "style”
or "school" they are belong, so-called their arts are difficult for
human civilization to add color.

excellent sculptures have been created by great labor. The works show the ubiquity of truth, goodness and beauty with elegance and

In the tide of reform of China, under the influence of
market economy, some people fear abandoned by the times, unwilling to remain out of the limelight, become a seamen,
