From this book, readers can see the current state of 798, read their diverse interpretations of contemporary art, and gain insights into their visions and concerns for the future of Dashanzi Art Zone. The rich images, taken from 2002 to 2005, document on-site scenes of interviews, creative processes, and exhibitions of artists in the 798 Art Zone. With winter giving way to spring, Dashanzi Art Zone in 798 is once again bustling with people. It seems like a series of urban experimental dramas are constantly being performed here. Workers, cultural tourists, artists, curators, art dealers, publishers, and others wander through the courtyards and streets of 798. Isn’t this the new version of 798’s "ukiyo-e" (ukiyo-e)? The stage of 798 is too vibrant, and the story has just begun. A single book cannot contain it all. What will the future of the 798 Art Zone hold? We can only wait and see.
