Comment

Xu Yihui continued with his favorite “little red book”and“golden colour”. For him these two elements are the symbols for the”main cultural trends“of the two special eras. 《 Wandering on the Moon》 : Xu Yihui chose ”moon climing“as the symbol for the”main cultural trend“of the current times ; and then by combining the three symbols he invented an absurd scene : the astronaute wearing his professional clothing and a golden mask,is reading the little red book on the moon, every”small figure“is made from pottery with decorative designs on the body, it looks more like craftsman's work, as a consequence, the so-called“main cultural trend” symbols have become elements for games.
