On the afternoon of June 20th, Liu Youju gave a touching and exciting academic lecture in the comprehensive teaching hall of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts.

Liu Youju meaningfully said that "illusionism" is not "Eastern Divine Painting" but a return of human painting language. He said that the "primary stage of humanity" may be due to the insufficient use of "language", and through "pattern" dialogue to supplement the shortcomings of "language", and in the long historical evolution, this "schematic" language has been further reduced and completely elevated to "sound" language. Later, humans separated "language" and "painting".

Liu Youju went on to say that the "first painting" of humans is the most beautiful, and he made a good metaphor, just like the "first egg", which has the most abundant nutrition. The transition of humanity from an "agricultural society" to a modern "industrial civilization" has become increasingly complex. The division of nations and nations has ultimately formed a serious cultural and ideological opposition, a complex history of human social development, and distinct different values. Chinese and Western cultures have long been in a state of opposition in terms of values, but sometimes they are "brought closer" under the promotion of intellectual and cultural elites and civilized forces. The "European Renaissance" and China's "New Culture Movement" are both different scales of human civilization symbols. Both have liberated human nature to varying degrees.

Liu Youju said that at a critical moment in history, the value orientations of Chinese and Western cultures have undergone subtle changes in recent years, and the soft standing of Chinese and Western cultural values has quietly escalated in the undercurrent. After the establishment of the world civilization order, it will often be challenged by "regionalism". The interest groups of "regionalism" often use the most demagogic slogan of "protecting national traditional culture" to "stick to techniques".

Illusionism "refers to seeking" technical liberation "while, more importantly, breaking the spiritual shackles of" regionalism ". The biggest harm of "regionalism" is not the issue of technological innovation, but rather the collective lust of "nation and patriotism" often carried out by this group of interest groups dressed in a "cultural cloak" to achieve long-term stability driven by their interests.

Liu Youju's short one hour lecture was breathtaking and exciting. Amidst the joyful and enthusiastic applause of the teachers and students, Liu Youju finally humorously said, "Today, I am standing on the 'highest roof' of the world's art hall to engage in academic and ideological exchanges with the teachers and students of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. It can also be considered a 'runaway' action before I return to 'regionalism'
