Antonio Natali, former director of the Uffizi Gallery in Italy
A major breakthrough in the visual dissemination of classical art
The immersive light and shadow art experience exhibition "Time treasure - dialogue with Leonardo da Vinci" has two sections: Eastern and Western art. The international partner in the Western art sector is the Uffizi Gallery in Italy. Located in the Uffizi Palace in Florence, Italy, the museum is famous for collecting works by representatives of the European Renaissance and other schools of painting, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Tintoretto, Rembrandt, Rubens, etc., and has a collection of sculptures from ancient Greece and Rome, known as the "treasure house of Renaissance art".
Antonio Natali, the former director of the Uffizi Gallery, is a world-class expert in Leonardo da Vinci research, and he sincerely recommends this exhibition to Chinese and foreign audiences. "Digital art is an art in itself, and digital technology already exists in many museums. In my mind, human intelligence and poetry are both art. Considering the relationship between digital multimedia and traditional art, I think this is definitely an important way to visually disseminate classical art, and it is a major breakthrough. That's exactly why digital art is the closest means to an artist's original work, something you won't see in a museum. ”

Engineering and aesthetics complement each other
Some wonder: Why can Leonardo da Vinci achieve such a brilliant achievement in many seemingly unrelated fields? Su Zhangren, consultant expert of the immersive light and shadow art experience exhibition "Time treasure - dialogue with Leonardo da Vinci", chief scientist of Su's technology, director and distinguished professor of the Institute of Precision Casting of Hefei University of Technology, and chief technical expert of the Precision Molding and Remanufacturing Committee of the Circular Economics Association, solved this question for us.
"Art is based on the expression of the results of natural persons' perceptions, cognitions, and feelings of the external world, in the form of skills, techniques, or techniques. Art can be created by the natural attribute of individual ingenuity. Science is an institution, the crystallization of wisdom that human exchanges of ideas and collisions form consensus and constraints, and has complete social attributes, which is the difference between the two. But both are the 'two sides that look like two sides, but they are one side' on the Möbius ring, that is, they all obey the laws of nature. Leonardo da Vinci's integration of the laws of nature in different fields has created its glory. Su Zhangren said.
In Leonardo da Vinci's notes, it is recorded that from childhood, he dreamed of flying in the sky like a bird, so he built a flying machine. Su Zhangren also has a high degree of achievement in aerospace manufacturing. He has participated in the manufacture of aircraft and multi-type missiles such as the Mainland's Qiang V, J-6 and J-8, and provided a variety of key components for the Chang'e satellite and the mainland's aerospace industry. In practice, he constantly refreshes the world record of investment precision casting technology, and summarizes his experience into Su's technology system, with more than 40 registered patents and about 200 registerable patents. In Su Zhangren's view, "the chief designer of the French Mirage fighter once said that a good aircraft must be good-looking." Engineering and aesthetics complement each other, whether it is an engineering machine or a flying machine, beauty is inseparable from practical functions."

Let the tenon technique plug into the wings of technology
As a representative craft of oriental art, tenon and tenon is one of the highlights of the oriental art section of this immersive light and shadow art experience exhibition. The tenon technique is an intangible cultural heritage recognized by the United Nations and contains profound oriental cultural characteristics. The quintessence of China's traditional furniture culture for thousands of years, the concentrated embodiment of the exquisite meticulousness and scientific precision of Chinese woodworking culture, and the craftsman culture of Chinese classical furniture styles.
Liu Yansong, director of the Yuansheng Longjing Tenon Art Museum, introduced that the tenon and tenon technology in Chinese wooden structure architecture during the Tang and Song dynasties influenced the world's architectural technology and design ideas. The scientific nature of the tenon structure is reflected in the fact that the connection between the components does not require the help of other materials, and the main connection between the wooden components is very stable. Compared with the connection method of nail riveting, the mortise and mortise structure has the advantage of semi-fixed and semi-live hinge, which can use the elasticity of the wood itself to make the entire building stronger. In terms of architectural style, unlike Western culture, Eastern culture is restrained, moderate, and coordinated, and the mortise and mortise structure also pursues a natural, scientific and orderly nature. Over the past few thousand years, the tenon process has evolved and developed, forming a stable frame structure of four beams and eight columns, and the utensils connected by scientific and reasonable tenons and tenons can be used for hundreds or even thousands of years.
"Beauty and beauty are different from communism and harmony." Eastern Art Dialogue Western Art, Yuansheng Longjing As tenon art museum this exhibition, aimed to let more people understand the traditional Chinese tenon and tenon culture, let the tenon technology plug into the wings of science and technology, link the soul of Eastern and Western cultures, and bring people a new immersive experience and fun.

Cultural inheritance should start from the doll
On the eve of the Spring Festival, calligrapher Fan Shiquan visited the Oriental Art Dialogue Western Art "Time Treasure - Dialogue with Leonardo da Vinci" immersive light and shadow art experience exhibition, to promote traditional Chinese culture, to create calligraphy in the interactive session, and to teach the principals, teachers and children who came to the exhibition to understand the calligraphy "Fu" characters with different writing styles.
Fan Shiquan told the "Xiaokang" magazine and the China Xiaokang Network reporter that such an exhibition and interaction is very meaningful, and it is a very good oriental cultural dissemination and traditional education activity of the Chinese nation, and proposed that cultural inheritance and cultivation of national self-confidence should start from Chinese dolls. Mr. Fan Shiquan, who is now an old man, began to study calligraphy from a young age, and it can be said that since he picked up this pen, he never thought of putting it down, and it is this kind of feeling that has created his lifelong Hanmo career. Elder Fan himself is like this, and he also requires this from his children, which he summarizes in 16 words: study hard, be diligent and thrifty, be happy to make contributions, and respect the elderly. Fan Shiquan's family has been awarded various national and provincial cultural and artistic and family style and family morality awards such as the All-China Women's Federation, the Spiritual Civilization Office, the Propaganda Department, and the National People's Congress, such as "The Most Beautiful Family," "Scholars Family," "Chinese Family Culture and Art Festival," and "Bookish Home."
In order to better promote the wide promotion of Chinese culture and calligraphy art, Fan Shiquan insists on teaching public welfare courses and cooperates with a number of public welfare funds, and in recent years has donated millions of yuan of calligraphy auction funds for the development of public welfare projects.
