Re-creation and rebirth
The nearest master to us is Gu Jingzhou. Although he has left, he still has a lingering sound, he is the closest "Cloth Pot Sect" and "Generation Grandmaster" that we can touch, so that we can feel and touch. Gu Jingzhou died more than 20 years ago, but the ideas and skills he left behind are still in the hands of his disciples. His hand feels alive. The writing of literature, to a certain extent, makes this kind of life have a barrier to defeat time, because words will not be obliterated by time. This is Xu Feng's heart to write "Making Pots", and it is also the need of contemporary people.
