The Blending of Mountains and Waters in a Circle
The arc-shaped work expresses roundness and harmony, symbolizing the universally recognized rules and showing the operation law of all things. The work is flexible and smooth, reminding people of the streams between the mountains and winding paths, showing the wisdom of life. The rounded shape, like that of the pebbles in the landscape, carries the traces of the years and tells the story of pleasant and beautiful landscape.The whole work presents a perfect harmony between mountains and water, reality and virtuality, and staticity and mobility. This beauty comes not only from the form of the work, but also from its color and texture. Different glaze colors and firing techniques were skillfully used to make the work show rich colors and sense of depth under the light
