Artist Wang Bai-lu has worked on pottery making for more than 40 years. He built up a studio called Caoshan Kiln. The art works he made include different elements and presented in different subjects. You can find something tiny like a tea cup to something big as a sculpture. Also he is good at calligraphy and Chinese painting, that's why you can see his art works combining with the spirit of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Now he tries to put western impressionism into his art works. His creative thinking makes his works not only a piece of art, but also a lifestyle you would like to pursue.

Reflection:

We can see a lot of dead wood door, a length a length of stacked. We are curious to ask, what are these trees used to? Mr. Wang said: "Those will take as fuel to burn." Because most of Wang's works are mainly with firewood.

Afterward, he took us to his "Chamber of Secrets" that is a very big room, four times larger than the classroom where there were variety of pottery works. Then he invited us to have cup of tea, meanwhile, Mr. Wang instantly recognized my heroic personality just by watching my drinking actions, really impressed me.
