——Interpretation of the magical code of sand painting art, wanton culture——
Sand painting is An ancient and traditional form of artistic expression, it can be traced back to before the emergence of human language and writing. It is a special pictorial symbol born for the need of communication and recording. From the perspective of historical origins, this kind of pictorial symbol has developed in two directions. One is the direction of written language, forming our today's language and writing system; the other is the direction of painting art, forming the current diverse painting art forms. During the Song Dynasty of our country, there were allusive records of "changing characters from sand script" and "changing paintings from sand script". In the Republic of Vanuatu, located in the Melanesian Islands in the southwest Pacific, this combination is still preserved to this day. The inheritance of art with multiple functions such as ritual, meditation and communication.
The boom of sand painting art in the 21st century is due to the famous Hungarian sand painting master Ferenc Cako. He moved the traditional sand painting area from the beach and sand to the sand painting box, thereby breaking through the traditional sand painting. The venue and viewing limitations of the painting's performance, combined with modern technological means such as background music and projection, perfectly combine traditional sand painting with modern stage art. In addition, during the screen switching, more attention is paid to logical inheritance and creative connection, making the performance beautiful. Beautiful and natural, it brings people an unprecedented comprehensive visual and auditory experience. At the same time, the traditional sand paintings of the Republic of Vanuatu were successfully selected into the second batch of UNESCO's "Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" in 2003 because of their extremely high traditional and aesthetic value.

Sand painting performance is a "one-stop" form of artistic expression. The main feature is that the picture and the theme are advanced at the same time. Through the density, lightness, thickness and thinness of the sand, the lightness, weight, slowness and urgency of the sand painter, and the succession, initiation, high and low of the background music, the "breaking" and "breaking" of the picture are achieved. "Li" complements each other, and the "Zhang" and "Chen" of the theme complement each other. During the entire performance, when the lines of the sand paintings are about to extend and the patterns of the sand paintings are becoming more and more mature, the strong sense of immersion will attract the audience to immerse themselves in it, full of curious guesses and judgments, and follow the virtual and real sand painter's movements. Proceed with this "rising" and then "falling" until each well-proportioned, coherent, elegant and regular sand painting pattern appears before your eyes, and you suddenly feel that there is a dark willow and a bright flower, and you suddenly become enlightened. This is the unique performance charm and magical essence of sand painting art.

It also emphasizes the balance of hardness and softness, vivid charm, harmony and beauty, and endless life. Creative techniques and dialectical thinking. "Searching from the heart and creating images from the outside" is a sign of an artist's highly skilled skills.
