Uniqueness gives people a brand-new feeling, and uniqueness is a completely personalized feeling and expression.
Full of attitude towards the details of life is the attitude of nobility;
No matter what changes take place in society, we only have one eternal question-where am I?
The greatest weakness of intellectuals is their understanding of truth.
You live as if everything is good, your goodness can infect others, and your shaping is better than anything else.

The first step of a good teacher is to get close to the students. As a student, self-recommendation is the best way to learn. Going to college is one of the ways to recommend yourself.
The teacher gave me the first bowl of rice, and I had to digest it myself. The artist emphasizes emotion. Artists and designers just sort out the sense of disorder and extend the sense of order to infinity. A designer's life path will always develop through training, so the college will split each course so that you can be well trained. To build a well-trained team is to build a system.
Evaluation of works
From Xu Zhongou's "tenon and mortise series" works, we can see that the artist has keenly discovered the symbolic elements that can symbolize the traditional cultural connotation of China, thus creating a new visual image through the media of printmaking and enriching the language of printmaking. Another work of "Walnut Series" is the unique image of Walnut, which is used to formalize symbols to express philosophical thinking on maternal life and culture.
