从扩张的“帝国时代”到注重感知的“了园”，说明了它正向另一种审美骤变，一种有别于符号学的审美，它是一种土地能量学的审美。这种审美让一个艺术家的意识与定力在大地上深深地扎根，与隐藏在大地的各种各样的能量聚集点对接，相互响应，让现实的矛盾在现实中互相中计，并顺利产生灵感。

In the course of its evolution from The Age of Empire to Liao Garden, this place has indeed undergone many changes. The shift that took place from the continuous expansion in The Age of Empire to the focus on perception and cognition in Liao Garden, indicates that  the place is mutating toward a different form of aesthetics that is distinguished from semiotics. It’s an aesthetic of the energetics of the ground, such that it would foster an artist’s consciousness and will to take deep roots in the ground, connecting with all kinds of joining points of energy that are buried underneath the surface, responding to them, and letting reality’s contradictions counter each other in one place, a process from which inspiration will naturally spark.
