2008年我去了北京，进修了一年中国古代史，同时暂停了前一阶段的关于现代社会女性题材的艺术创作，想给自己疲惫的身心一个放松。

　　记得小时侯，老师都会问每个小朋友，你的梦想是什么，我清楚记得我回答的是：考古学家。 那时的我并不知道真正的考古学家到底是干嘛的，但幼儿期原始的冲动和对神秘历史的喜爱，像一本书，静静搁置在旧书柜的最深处，再也没去触碰它。

　　大学和研究生学习的都是西方的文化和艺术，我的家庭环境让我从小就没机会接受传统文化的的教育，当时中国主流文化也是急迫地想跟国际接轨。

　　直到我去了北京，机缘让我偶然从旧书柜里发现了这本书，我开始学习中国传统文化，学习方式不是系统，而是片段，不追求历史的真实，而是发散我个人的感受和喜爱，比如我最爱的时代是春秋战国，最喜欢的瓷器是宋瓷和青花，最不能理解但又感动的精神是“士为知己者死”。

　　同时，地域的改变，作为一个南方人，北方萧瑟的冬天，枯树，大雪，那种肃杀的美很让我着迷。

　　我最初几张画的背景颜色用的是汝窑“雨过天青”那种感觉，紫黑的勾线是代表青花给我的印象，画中的树大多是倔强的老树，坚定的枯柳，偶尔有些淡淡的梅花，也许是北京春天的桃花，也不一定，地上的白色看起来像雪又不是雪，太湖石奇怪地瞪着眼睛，安静地躺在不真实的风景里，还有不知从哪里涌出来的泉水。

　　我略带伤感地描绘了我内心幻想的不真实的历史风景，也是我想逃离我生活的这个时代，刻意走到这个时代精神相反的那一面。

　　2009年底，我开始画这批新画，画里的人越来越少，最后只剩下风景。

　　我不再执着于探讨人与人之间的小情小爱，却转而关注平静而丰富的人生大风景。

　　就像苏州沧浪亭上那副对联：清风明月本无价，近水远山皆有情。

　　In 2008.I went to Beijing to advanced study History of Ancient China for one year and suspended the previous stage art creation about female subjects of modern society.I want to relax myself from physical and mental fatigue.

　　As a child. the teacher would ask everyone what their dreams are.I clearly remember that my answer is archaeologist. Though at that time I actually don’t know what a real archaeologists should do in the end.The early childhood ‘s original impulses and the favorite of mysterious history like a book.quietly shelved in the deepest place of old bookcase.Never touch it again.

　　The art courses of my college and graduate are associated with Western culture and art. My family environment where I grew up decided I had no opportunities to accept the education of Chinese traditional culture. And at that time, Chinese mainstream culture also urgently want to be with the international standards.

　　Until I went to Beijing.Luckily.I occasionally found this book in old bookcase.

　　I began to learn traditional Chinese culture,The style of learning is not system, but the fragment. Do not pursue the historical truth, but divergent my personal feelings and the affection.Such as my favorite era is Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods. My most favorite porcelain are song porcelain and blue and white porcelain. Most do not understand, but moved the spirit of “Gentlemen die for those who appreciate them”

　　At the same time, as a Southerner,Geographical change is a different place for me.Bleak winter in the North. withered trees, heavy snow,This kind of chill beauty fascinated me.

　　The color of my initial few paintings’ background likes that kind of feeling of Ru Kiln-- "The cyan of the sky after the rain".Dark purple hook threads represents what blue and white porcelain impressed me.In the picture the trees mostly are stubborn old tree .firm withered willow,Occasionally some light plum flowers,May be Beijing spring peach blossom.Not necessarily.The white earth looks like snow White and not snow.Taihu Lake stone strangely staring eyes.Lying quietly in unreal landscape.and the water spring we do not know where it came out of.

　　I slightly sad depicted My inner fantasy that is unrealistic historical scenery.is also which I want to escape from I live in this day and age.Deliberately went to the opposite side of this time spirit.

　　At the end of 2009,I began to draw this batch of new paintings.The person in the paintings is less and less.Finally, only scenery.

　　I no longer attached to explore interpersonal small feeling small love,but instead focus on the great scenery of calm and rich life.

　　Like the antithetical couplets in Suzhou Surging Waves Pavilion---The breeze moon this priceless, no matter near water or the mountains in the distance all have feelings.
