Chinese Water-Ink Art

It is art and also philosophy. It is so called "Water-Ink Art", which is created by 黄(huáng)珠(zhū)琳(lín), a Chinese boy born in 80s of last century. I like the drawing and the music in the video. Hope you also enjoy it:)


Part 1 : Blue and White Porcelain
Performer: 黄(huáng)珠(zhū)琳(lín)
Background music: Jay Chow "青(qīng)花(huā)瓷(cí)", which means Blue and White Porcelain.



Part 2:Dun Huang
Performer: 黄(huáng)珠(zhū)琳(lín)
Background music: 刀(dāo)郎(láng) "新(xīn)阿(ā)瓦(wǎ)尔(ěr)古(gǔ)丽(lì)").  新(xīn)阿(ā)瓦(wǎ)尔(ěr)古(gǔ)丽(lì) is the name of a very beautiful girl in the Xinjiang folklore.


Dunhuang(Chinese: 敦(dūn)煌(huáng) ) is a city (pop. 187,578 (2000)) in Jiuquan, Gansu province, China. It was a major stop on the ancient Silk Road. It was also known at times as Shachou, or 'City of Sands'.

The city is now famous for a place of interest called " 莫(mò)高(gāo)窟(kū) = Mogao Caves"(also known as the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas and Dunhuang Caves), which  form a system of 492 temples 25 km (15.5 miles) southeast of the center of Dunhuang.The caves contain some of the finest examples of Buddhist art spanning a period of 1,000 years. The first caves were dug out 366 AD as places of Buddhist meditation and worship. The Mogao Caves are the best known of the Chinese Buddhist grottoes and, along with Longmen Grottoes and Yungang Grottoes, are one of the three famous ancient sculptural sites of China. The caves also have famous wall paintings. It is really worth to visit.
