Puli
is a little township filled with the atmosphere of art. The
number of workers, who work directly or indirectly related
to art, is about a thousand people in conservative analysis.
This ratio is really amazing in a township with the population
of only 80 thousands people. In addition, there is an special
product in this township, that is artist. Many domestic famous
artists, such as De-jin, Xi, a famous painter who has passed
away, Dr. Ying-feng, Yang and Zhu Ming saw this place as their
second hometown. There are also many outstanding literature
and history workers and art and culture workers appeared here.
Therefore, some people suggested that ¡§Artist¡¨ should be on
the list of Puli¡¦s specialties also.¡C
Since
there are so much artists here, many places are provided here
for the display of artist production. These places, including
official Art and Cultural Center, private hospitals, restaurants,
tea shops, workshops, etc.; continuously provide spaces for
the display of different artistic production. So it is very
easy for a Puli¡¦s resident to contact with art whenever they
have meal, have appointment, see a doctor or just walk on
the street. Residents living here can easily have the chance
to appreciate works of art while art has merged with their
life already¡C
If you come to Puli, it is not difficult for you to find that
the works of great master appear in front of you easily in
every where of your friends¡¦ home or the restaurant you are
