Longevity 
        Longevity is a fiber art based on Chinese Culture. This work uses Chinese Calligraphy as main character and expresses the form of Chinese ancient words by textile art. Longevity perfectly shows the unique form language of Chinese calligraphy and shows its special shape of turtle’s back using different textile skills. This work also uses ancient Chinese oracle-bone inion and textile art language to express the Chinese nation’s special spirit and modern Art.
