Features: "I have a sense of studying in Germany alongside Teng Fei and Tan Ping. Walking around, listening, and observing, new ideas approach me unintentionally. The writing style of the article is also very good—it is not only easy to read but also leaves us with ample space for imagination and reasoning. After reading this article, I have gained a lot of inspiration. It has connected my scattered and somewhat disjointed thoughts on teaching, so I say it is very valuable. Editing this series of books is timely—I deeply feel that the reform of our college teaching is imperative. Yet, we are picking up things that they have almost forgotten. Regarding the establishment of ideas mentioned in the article, we can clearly feel the position that technology should occupy. Are we placing too much emphasis on technology selection while neglecting the abundant concepts in Chinese painting? Moreover, regarding the definition of beauty, isn’t it also worth comparing? We really need to know what others are thinking and doing. The purpose of knowing is also to make others interested in what we think and do."
