Jing-Chu is a regional culture that thrived over 2,000 years ago in river drainage areas, and which later became synonymous with Hubei.

The province has an abundance of archaeological sites, artifacts and classic literature, as well as important figures, which demonstrate its historic glory, and which are vividly depicted in the paintings on show at Yi's exhibition at the Art Museum of China National Academy of Painting in Beijing.

The artist says that he has no intention of repeating the past, but seeks to find creative ways to celebrate the culture which he is from.
