Bai Cangyi Introduction
The author states: There is an ancient saying: "Rotted wood cannot be carved." As a child who picked up rotted wood in the deep mountains and fields, I observed it carefully, and soon the rotted wood transformed into a unique form of artistic expression, rich in the traditional rustic beauty and even possessing a modern artistic feel. The phrase "rotted wood cannot be carved" does not apply to me at all; while others see rotted wood as garbage, I see it as treasure. The rooftop of my home is my treasure trove of rotted wood, and any piece I pick up becomes a one-of-a-kind piece of celestial carving. Everyone has their own aesthetic perspective. By treating uniquely shaped rotted wood with high-pressure water treatment, it becomes a work of art carved by nature, showcasing my unique vision. My insistence on art is to take rotted wood in hand without carving it with a knife or axe.
