Message from the dean

Every year I write a message to the graduates with great care and care, because formally it is addressed to you, but really it is addressed to me. The epidemic has made you care about The Times, both physically and mentally, and have a greater respect and consideration for life than a college classroom can give you. Just because of this, let your expression and work have a different look. The humanistic care and warmth presented in your works are more gratifying to teachers than your skills and ideas.

Ceramic is invented by humans in the physical form of most close to the material of "eternal", and "eternal" in the process of our civilization, both in body and spirit is involuntary bundled together, is the "eternal" brought our understanding of "fragile", and the beauty of ceramic fascinating just reflect on the fragility of the "noble". Therefore, ceramic art has a universal aesthetic commonness and a language way beyond culture and ideology.

"The greatest regret of life is that one cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time. This is Hemingway's famous saying. But I hope that you will not only have the freshness of youth, but also that you can get a taste of it in advance by reading the lives and writings of brave and creative sage and wise men whom you will follow. "Independent spirit, free thought" is not only the motto of Tsinghua University, but also the most precious quality of this era and the most important characteristics of artists. The great connotations of these 10 Chinese characters have been embodied and conveyed by you through your own talented new art forms. It is your teacher's deepest warm hope and wish for you.

Ceramic art is an ancient art, but it is also the world's most energetic and always young art, it is closely related to life, and life is what you need to learn all your life. Thank you. Teachers often look to you for a new understanding of life and hope!
