This project showcases how cultural shifts and contemporary misunderstandings have changed our understanding of traditional poems, this research investigates the original meanings and developing interpretations of ancient Chinese poetry. Each piece explores a particular stanza and reinterprets it in its philosophical and historical context through a sequence of visuals. In contrast to modern stereotyped views, the goal is to highlight the morally admirable elements of the ancient perspective. This method bridges the gap between traditional knowledge and contemporary comprehension by offering the audience a visual voyage across time and space that reveals the profound truths of classical Chinese thought.
