In China, urbanization has progressed due to the rapid development of economy, technology, and high-rise buildings and also highways have transformed the city's landscape. But there are some traditions left standing in the garden in the city called ‘Rockery'. Rockery is a feature based on the characteristic of natural stone that has been used in the historic garden design in China and has been used as the symbol of hope with the wish of ‘return to nature’.The stones’ feature ‘pores and holes’ are the symbol of worlds’ natural shape. According to China’s traditional culture, existences are born from formation instead of and it is nothingness at the beginning of formation. Further, first existence is called chi and other existences are all born from ‘inspiration’. inspiration is the material of formation, the power of formation and its manner decide its essence. The concept of Rockery is deeply connecting to the influential Chinese philosopher, Zhuangzi, and Laozi. The representative of inspiration philosophy is not just researching nature essence based on the concept of metamorphosis, but also combined the concept of metaphysical. However, China’s politics especially socialism is influenced by western culture, dualism theory. For example, control nature and the confrontation between people or countries, those confrontations are making conflict easily. In terms of old Chinese philosophy, it said human has to respect nature as a part of life in nature. To show the conflict between china’s socialism and China’s education, Chinese philosophy, Zeng Chao uses Chinese tunic suit and red necktie to symbolize china’s socialism and use Rockery to symbolize Chinese tradition and philosophy.

The emphasis on Chinese painting was that the concept of‘inspiration’ was reflected as ‘Qiyun’on the picture screen. My previous studies have shown that Qiyun is a matter of brushstroke. With the motif of Rockery as a motif, I used modern painting materials such as oil paint and acrylic paint using the historical production method called Brush stroke of ink painting, painting history, depiction, material, history He created paintings using elements that were highly mixed.

The subtitle of this paper, ‘Place of Qiyun’ is based on philosophy represented by inspiration. Various themes such as temporality, spatiality, conflict and harmony where all things depend on Rockery and places, and all things depend on each other are revealed through my painting studies. I tried to make it. Asking the world about the great works that lead to the ‘Place of Qiyun’is an extremely challenging attempt of expression for me.
