Old Master Gu Tongxiang wouldn't resort to such performance art, but to prevent Gu Weijing from forgetting his hometown, losing his cultural roots and historical soul.
Since childhood, he found many stories and biographies about those great painters in history for him to read.
The Gu family is originally from Wuxi.
They claim to be descendants of Gu Kaizhi of the Wuxi Gu Family, whether this is flattery is untraceable, but many of his childhood reading materials were indeed about this great painter.
Gu Tongxiang hopes his grandson can learn some qualities, possessing a noble and romantic scholarly sentiment.
He still remembers a story from the "Records of the World: Clever Deeds," about "the neighbor girl piercing the needle to capture the spirit," to praise Gu Kaizhi's extraordinary artistry to an unimaginable degree.
