Jianshui Ant Workshop: A fairy tale, a moment of reflection

The Ant Workshop is quite extraordinary, it looks like a place to amuse children, and indeed, there are many people traveling with kids. But once you really enter, you discover its wonders, a feeling of déjà vu, and sure enough, the presence of Maitreya's remarkable figure Luo Xu is seen again. The exterior of the Ant Workshop looks like a giant maze, adorned with colorful hues, red, white, orange, yellow, splendid and magnificent, resembling a dense ant nest, creating a magical kingdom. Square hollow bricks are pieced together to form various uniquely shaped castles, spires, and corridors, with the holes in the center of the bricks offering a glimpse into a marvelous world. The soft colors of the macaron palette, the architecture full of geometric elements, the mottled light and shadow refracted by the sunlight through the hollow bricks, enjoy the light sensation from every angle against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds. Different buildings also have names that string together to form a fairy tale story of an ant kingdom. An abandoned brick kiln, a pile of cheap hollow bricks, a group of uniquely shaped buildings, create warm, dreamy, pure colors, outlining the colors of life! The Ant Workshop is not just a tour, but a feast of creativity and imagination. Compared to those high-ranking 'experts,' 'scholars'... what else can they leave behind apart from the occasional 'bizarre theories'? At least, in the Ant Workshop, I saw the children's revelry and the adults' smiles. Unity of knowledge and action!!!
