Features: Jintian's stage costumes and designs are exceptionally outstanding and dazzling. Essentially, it's an "additive" approach, with luxurious fabrics and headpieces layered over each other. Every detail is meticulously crafted, and the costumes he designed for the Han-Tang Music Bureau and the designs he created for Jiao and Lolang Woman are classics of Taiwanese theater. I truly came to know him through his book. The impact that Little Ye brought to me wasn't just about the beauty of his costumes but also about a habit of appreciation, an open aesthetic philosophy. His thoughts are unrestrained and boundless. His bold design style left the Taiwanese theater world utterly amazed, not only transforming the audience's perception of costume design but also greatly elevating its status. To see Ye Jintian's costumes is like reading a book—it unfolds a cultural experience, a perspective, and a spiritual dialogue and exploration.
