Picture Story

《Hainei Jing》 (Classic of the Seas Within) records a genealogy of the Yellow Emperor: the Yellow Emperor's wife Leizu gave birth to Changyi. Changyi descended at Ruoshui and gave birth to Hanliu. Hanliu had a long head, modest ears, a human face, a pig's snout, a kylin's body, bowed thighs, and pig hooves. He took Aonü, daughter of Nao, and they gave birth to Emperor Zhuanxu.

Project Story

Intervening in nature with the body, refusing the formulas of brush and ink. In the 2014 water-side actions at Jingdezhen — swimming, drifting, writing — the ancient wisdom of 《Chongbantu》's 「water is the base-point of all things」 was transformed into contemporary practice. The reflection in water — 「ohng」 (soul) — became the core image. In June 2014 the artistic alter-ego 「Meng Chunsheng」 was conceived. In 2025 at Zongtong Temple, a 50cm × 50m raw xuan handscroll completed the conceptual closure from action to brushwork. 「Without style becomes style」 — let mountains and waters speak for themselves.
