As a seeker of traditional arts and crafts, [Living on the left] has always been dedicated to the unique aesthetics of Eastern culture and explored the history and spirit behind it. This time, [Living on the left] has acquired the touch of life in an ancient book that has been lost in Chinese history books and presents the Autumn/Winter 2016 series of "Tracing for Nature." Heavenly nature is all things in nature, and creation is the power of human beings based on nature and wisdom. “Life is born of heaven, and work is open to people.” Inspired by nature, human beings from scratch, using their hands and wisdom to create a living environment in the primitive and ridiculous earth. In this ancient book, what we are looking for is not the “art” of artifacts. Instead, we perceive the sages as the belief in the law of the growth of all things in the service of beings, magistrates, and potters, and symbiotically associate humans with nature. Philosophical thoughts are delicately displayed in the book. Back in the 17th century, in the era of feudalism, which was prevalent in the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng-Zhu, there was a naturalist concept of simple materialism embodied in the creational innovation “Heavenly Creation”, which brought about far-reaching awareness and enlightenment to the entire eastern world.
