Preface-President Lee Teng-hui of Taiwan

Art is the most moving way and the best way to spread the Creator's will. Therefore, since ancient times, people have used different forms of art to extol the grace of God. Whether it is painting, dancing, music, or poetry, all of them are showing the harmonious beauty of all things and demonstrating God's ingenuity in creating all things in the universe. Teacher Zhang Meijun chose to embroider. Re-traveling the course of God’s creation with needles and threads not only shows the love of God and the unique beauty of all things in every piece of lifelike embroidery, but also weaves the most sincere promise to God: mutual respect and mutual respect forever. Love. Forgiveness and love are the greatest revelations the Creator has given us. No matter how the times evolve and how society changes, we must respect and love each other and trust each other in order to maintain peace of mind and pursue eternal joy. Located at the intersection of the mainland and the ocean, Taiwan is deeply influenced by Eastern and Western civilizations, and has special historical occasions, making this land a fertile ground for gestating a new culture. Teacher Zhang Meijun’s embroidery art is a model of combining tradition and renewing innovation. The publication of such a book makes us feel gratified about the results of cultural construction, and it also gives us more optimistic expectations for the prospects of cultural development.

1上帝創造天地

Genesis 1 : 1-4

  畫中 上帝是一位台灣人,像極了在田裡面耕作的〝歐吉桑〝,他捲起褲腳,捲起手袖,是一個忙忙碌碌的〝歐吉桑〝。
衪不要我們一直在黑暗裡面,就將黑暗推過去,帶來光明。
也希望我們在夜裡享受休息,安排自己,疼惜自己,讓我們做一個〝日出而做,日落而息〝的人。
創世紀中,共有七種不同上帝的形像。
聖經裡面,上帝是沒有具體形像,但是藝術家們,藉著自己的感情,表現不同的造形,所以畫中的上帝是一個很可愛、很腳踏實地、赤著腳、挽著袖子、忙忙碌碌的,希望把黑暗和光明分開,使世界變成井然有序的地方。

2上帝創造萬物

Genesis 1 : 9, 11

  上帝說:「天下的水要聚在一處,使旱地露出來。」
在這裡的上帝,是個神奇的魔術師,祂用手輕輕一點,這個地球就長出花草、菜蔬、樹木,都變得如此的青翠,果子也包著核,生生不息的生長,供給人類綠色的植物,清潔我們的空氣。
我們看這一幅畫,上帝的腳,是那麼地可愛,上帝的手,是那麼地奇妙,上帝的面容,顯得非常地像魔術師,那樣使人驚嘆,也使人歡笑。我們怎能,辜負上帝的苦心,而將綠色的禮物,變成黑色的臭水溝,或者是,為了自利,將它變成水泥叢林,滿足貪婪的私慾。
環保是一個值得我們深思的題目。
