“LIU YI (Emanation)” – overflow; pour out
Though, Plotinus, a philosopher of Ancient Rome, once explained the word like this. He thought that everything begins from the original principle of the One, Intellect and Soul. There is a kind of Emanation all through the process from the start to the end. The One is everything, not one of them. Everything has a source because they can go back to them. The One is full since it does not pursuit anything, owns nothing, and does not need anything, since it is full. The things emanate from it form the other objects. The first original principle is just the second emanation which shows Intellectual or the form of it. The second original principle is just the third emanation, Soul. It is formed as a still idea of Intellectual and activity. Intellectual itself is emanated from the still origin the One. The role of Soul is not still. Its shadow forms from its activity. It gets perfect through take care of its origin and forms a shadow from another downward activity.
This is just like the works of Tang Guo. His works, from photography Water, Human Territory to a series of abstract works on canvas, the massage of them tell the artist’s heart and his mind emanation. Under the high speed development of today’s society, the artist separates himself from the pursuit of simply matter and looking for a more real, more meaningful ideal world than the actual one, in order to get to a situation that is much deeper and longer lasting which could not reach during the calm atmosphere.
