Tsinghua Universitys Tour⁃Picture exhibition may be over, but the shows culturally various works
can still be experienced by sight, Lin Qi reports.
The temporary close of museums during the COVID⁃19 pandemic has deprived people of visiting
exhibitions. Fortunately, virtual tours of art shows, whether they have ended or are coming to a close,
are still available online to provide people a close experience.
Tsinghua University Art Museum, for example, has recently made digital the Tour⁃Picture, an
exhibition for which the curtains came down on Sunday. However, it continues on museums website and
WeChat account, where people can explore the exhibition which has been divided into two parts.
It gathers more than 100 paintings and sculptures made by 80 artists from seven member states of
the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, namely, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan,
Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. India is also a member.
When artists around the world use more angles and a wider range of mediums to produce work, the
form of the picture painted has lost its position of control. But, pictures continue to play an important
part in the work of the artists from the countries at the exhibition, allowing them to reflect the mentality
of their people and ever⁃changing social realities.
And tour, as in the exhibition title, Du Pengfei, director of the museum, says, refers to the long
journey upon which different civilisations continuously exchange and explore ways to learn from each
other.

Recommendation.
During the late Ming, consumption (消费) based on global trade had an effect on literati (文人学
士) life and elite (精英的) taste in gardens, paintings and books. The expanding literati appetite for
consumption carried over to the eighteenth century. In late Ming and early Qing, for example, people
lived in a world where silver from the New World was exchanged to pay for Chinese goods, such as silk,
tea, and jade. The Ming economy was further transformed by a revolution in which cotton displaced rice
production in southern coastal provinces. Ming Chinese faced a global marketplace. Their arts and
letters would never be the same again.

What is art? When people think about this question, they will naturally think about all kinds of musical
instruments or the great paintings in the art museums. Art seems to be far away from the ordinary people, but
I don’t think so. Art is everywhere. For example, the delicious food that is made by our parents is the great
art, and the value of the food is to bring people the great joy when they have a taste of it. The scenery around
us is the visible art. When we appreciate it, our mood become eased. Art is something that brings people the
positive value, so art is around everybody. If we take time to slow down our pace, then we can enjoy art from
life and feel the comfortable lifestyle.
