I have interviewed with more than 30 traditional art professionals in Taiwan. In these interviews, I gradually sensed that the population of the people in the traditional art field has begun to decline in the modern society. Nevertheless, these traditional arts and cultural values are equal to the weight of the entire history. To adjust to the rapidly changing world, we must preserve the value of traditional art and, at the same time, create innovative and diverse thinking patterns. As a result, I consider it a very important and un-negligible issue to integrate the essence of traditional art with the innovative elements of modern times. Only with the integration of tradition could we stride toward modern time.
