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.
1God created heaven and earth
Genesis 1 : 1-4
In the painting, God is a Taiwanese who looks very much like "Ogisang" working in the fields. He rolls up his trousers and sleeves, and is a busy "Ogisang".
He does not want us to remain in darkness, so He pushes the darkness away and brings light.
I also hope that we can enjoy rest at night, arrange ourselves, cherish ourselves, and be a person who "works at sunrise and rests at sunset."
In Genesis, there are seven different images of God.
In the Bible, God does not have a specific image, but artists use their own emotions to express different shapes. Therefore, the God in the painting is very cute, down-to-earth, barefoot, sleeves rolled up, and busy. , hoping to separate darkness and light and make the world an orderly place.
2 God created all things
Genesis 1 : 9, 11
God said, "Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and the dry land shall be exposed."
The God here is a magical magician. With just a touch of His hand, flowers, plants, vegetables, and trees will grow on this earth. They all become so green, and the fruits are also wrapped with seeds. They grow endlessly and provide green for mankind. plants that clean our air.
When we look at this painting, God's feet are so lovely, God's hands are so wonderful, and God's face looks very much like a magician, which amazes and makes people laugh. How can we live up to God's painstaking efforts and turn the green gift into a black stinking ditch, or, for self-interest, turn it into a concrete jungle to satisfy our greedy desires.
Environmental protection is a topic worthy of our deep thought.
