Xiamen Gathering · Art for Exchange

The artist guest-played the role of tea master, using Wuyi Mountain rock tea (Da Hong Pao) to open conversation, then initiated 「art for exchange」 — a poem for a woodblock, a work for a work, song for memory, a smile for a promise. The forum revealed the core: the essence of exchange is love. Three hundred years ago, Wuyi tea sailed out of Xiamen port and was exchanged for silver and war; today, the same cup of tea is exchanged for a poem, a song, a smile — the tea leaf completes its cycle, from commodity to gift, from war to love.
