As far as the resource endowment of the South China Historical Trail is concerned, all the image workers who have arrived at the scene should not doubt the rich image expression space behind this resource-whether it is within the protection scope of the Historical Trail or the area along the route.There are rich natural landscapes and cultural relics, and high-quality image creation can be carried out.

At the same time, taking into account the historical, cultural, ecological, social, economic and political values behind the South China Historical Trail, there is also a rich space for historical, cultural, ecological, social, economic and even philosophical narration around the South China Historical Trail, which can be expressed in systematic academic reports, it can be a topical observation, or it can be a series of pithy quotes and quotations.

One of my own direct experiences and feelings is that walking on an ancient road hidden in the mountains and forests, I suddenly feel that I have become a minstrel, just like that feeling when I suddenly saw the pure snow mountain under the blue sky in Ganzi Kangding, Sichuan province -- there was no boundary between emotion and reason at that moment. It seemed that all expression had become poetry, all thinking has a philosophical meaning. In this situation, even a direct record of what you see, hear, think, feels like a poem -- a moment when the poem isn’t written, it’s flowing.

Combined with the widespread use of creative posters as a form of content expression in the new media environment, I thought, if we can use creative posters as a carrier, combining the unique visual images of the South China Historical Trail with a professional insight into its value, it may be possible to design a series of elegant and creative posters on the South China Historical Trail, it could even create a new paradigm of expression for the spread of the value of the South China Historical Trail.

Although I am not sure that every poster can achieve the desired effect, but I am confident in the tremendous visual impact and rich image space of the South China Historical Trail, and in the creativity of our designer Sun Yueyuan. So, here we have a series of creative posters about the South China Historical Trail.

We hope, of course, that we will be able to visit more South China Historical Trail on site and produce more excellent video works. We also hope that we will be able to produce more posters with literary grace, spirituality and ideas. I even see these texts as “Love Whispers ”to the South China Historical Trail, and I think they are of great personal significance to me as well, and will not only be a correction of my over-rigid and serious research-oriented textual expressions of several years, it’s also a response to my deep desire for poetic and spiritual content and writing life style.

In addition, this series of posters is also a continuation of the series of historical and geographical readings on the theme of “Nostalgia in Guangdong ”that Fangtang has been working hard on in recent years. (Previously, under the direct guidance and support of the Guangdong Provincial Cultural and Tourism Department, we created a series of creative posters and observation articles, and published a collection of two “Nostalgia in Guangdong”books on the villages, oceans, relics and South China Historical Trail.) -- “What's localization is what's international.” One of our goals is to discover and tell about the quietest landscapes and the silentest civilizations in Lingnan with a serious, professional and elegant history and geography reader. From our point of view, the South China Historical Trail is an important part of the “Quietest scenery and most silent civilization”on the land of Lingnan.

Finally, I would like to thank the Natural Resources Department of Guangdong province for its professional guidance and strong support. We will work with the South China Historical Trail network to promote the design and dissemination of creative posters along the South China Historical Trail on a regular basis, and in the appropriate time to launch offline exhibition, please pay attention and look forward to it.

There are no roads in the world at first, but as more people walk, there are more roads. In turn, more people travel along the roads, more efficient state governance and richer human civilization have emerged. This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

Not all journeys are inspired by beauty, but each one is met with poetry unheard of and starry skies unseen, all changes and dreams of man on the way, and all things in the world between chance and necessity. This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

I once stopped on a mountain road and waited quietly for a visitor, because, one moment I was attracted by a conversation, one person said, I’m going to walk the world, another said, I’m looking for a way home.This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

It is your most practical expression and the most concise aesthetic moved me. And that from another time and space of the stream, in your eyes flow I do not know how many years, do not ask the way, do not fear the return journey, just go away singing.This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

Here is located in Tangjiawan town, Zhuhai, a village, but with a view of the sky and the vast sea, people here, not only with the ideal interpretation of the world’s imagination, but also with action to achieve the change of the world. This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

Even the sky endless green, green wet clothes, there are people face to face, ignore words, peak circuit and turn, day and night moment, Zhuangzi also have no solution, eccentric from far. Every walk can be a time-lapse.This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

Walking on this road, I’ve been thinking about the people of history, the people who carry their sorrows, their suffering, their glory, their dreams, and those passionate young people, are they returning home or leaving home? This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

There is no road in the world that has not been defined by the people who walk it and the people who walk it, and as more and more modern people come back to these once thriving human remains, the rebirth of the historical trail is full of imagination.This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

From urban renewal to rural renewal, there is always a need to find some unique narrative vehicle for the historical and human discoveries and narratives of all regions, for the economic and social transformation and prosperity of all regions, there is always a need to find some special carrier of value.This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.


The flame of education in South China once followed these roads, into the countryside and scattered into the mountains and rivers, and along these roads, returned to the city and rebuilt the country, only in this trip, some people were born again, some people became a memorial. This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.

What we’re trying to restore, is not just your face, but your spirit, and what we’re trying to restore, is not just a narrative of history, but a modern revival. We believe that even if only a corner of the prosperous, will become the whole earth vientiane renewal.This is Guangdong, where the South China Historical Trail is being awakened.
