Meanwhile, with the progress of time, the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, the changes in the living environment, it is natural to add some new pigments, combined with color processing methods, so that the work keeps abreast of the times." As Zheng Baizhong said, he not only inherits traditional painting techniques, but steps further by incorporating some Western painting elements. Zheng Baizhong's explorations of Chinese painting reflect his attitude towards life and society, his personality, life experiences, and artistic exploration. His works such as New Chapter of Maritime Silk Road, European Civilization and Ancient Trees are all created while he visited and observed internationally famous cities and natural sceneries.
