“It was my first time to have a look at a sculpture exhibition. However, at least, these artworks were absolutely brilliant and made me feel excited about it. In the future, I wish I have an opportunity to dig more ability about arts. I like it." ——said by Claude
Some weeks ago, 10-C students and us went to Nanjing University for an exhibition called Wu Weishan Cultural Figures Sculpture Gallery. It was a wonderful trip that I had taken, which perfectly showed the artworks, the sculptures made by Mr.Wu. Many of the artworks described a couple of famous artists, authors and famous people from the past in Chinese history.
Looking around for a while, the sculpture which I was interested in was such a sculpture of a famous person in the ancient China named "Lao Zi". It was sculpted by Professor.Wu in the year 2005. The largest copy of this artwork is located in Jiang Su, Huainan. The most interesting thing is that there is also a famous paragraph called Tao Te Ching ("Dao De Jing" in Chinese) carved inside of the sculpture. With the empty area inside, it is big enough for a person to stand inside. Ancient Chinese words were carved in Lao Zi's body which are really archaic.
This kind of artworks made me feel very peaceful and broad. With thinking through the whole time, I realized many things, truths. As the main idea is said, "Empty" is the scene of the universe "Qiankun", and with no borders, it could share and embrace everything entirely. The thoughtful sculpture reminds me of an experience. Like the experience engraved in my mind, it also tells me how to forgive others and improve myself. Such a human nature, that like an old Chinese proverb, "the chest of a man is wider than the sky and is deeper than the oceans", so on the surface it says that the person has a kind and generous mind or heart. It makes me think of many senses such as how the world is, how we should treat others, how we should get along with others, and also the most necessary idea is about what our society is like. I guess that the artist's intention is to describe and represent the personalities of the famous Chinese philosopher, Lao Zi.
By showing his characteristics, which tells us what kind of person he is, let me know what the great person related to. For my curiosity, to carve the famous book of "Dao De Jing" inside the sculpture is a very creative skill or an idea of making artwork. Looking at "the high, even messy guy", my feeling is that the wise person is standing towards me,and for that, he tries to explain me something in his mind benignantly.
I feel the exhibition was a brain washing, it’s a kind of “fantasy” that I really liked, and from what I said, I knew a lot after the journey. In my mind, I promise I must be generous; I realize I still have lots of things to try and improve on; also, I will prove myself...

Fortunately, we met Professor Wu during the exhibition. A crowd of students rushed towards him, some asked for his signature, and some were taking photos around him. How thronged here was! Ha, art is so winsome, eh? Yep, I am fond of it.
