The strategy that Zhuge Liang came up with.

The straw boat borrowing arrows is a story about the Battle of Chibi in the Chinese classic "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The borrowed arrows were deliberately proposed by Zhou Yu (limited to ten days to make one hundred thousand arrows). The clever Zhuge Liang saw through it at a glance and it was a harmful plan, but calmly said that "it only takes three days."

Later, with help from a foggy day, Zhuge Liang took advantage of Cao Cao's suspicious character and mobilized a few straw boats to lure the enemy. Finally, he borrowed 100,000 arrows and accomplished a miraculous feat. As a result, Zhuge Liang's courage and wisdom were praised by later generations, which led to many idioms, anecdotes and dramatic performances.

The artwork of "Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat"

"Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat" is a metaphor for the tense relationship between international politics and culture. In the exhibition hall of the Guggenheim Museum, the five-star red flag on the rudder is very eye-catching. Art critic Fei Dawei believes that the flag can express the author's point of view: criticism and attack on China will benefit China. When it was exhibited at the National Art Museum of China in the early years, the flag was missing from the bow of the ship.

In the space of the museum, videos and gunpowder paintings are not as exciting as those installation works, such as "The Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows". Regardless of the Chinese wisdom embodied in this work produced in 1998, Visually it's also impressive. This straw boat hangs in the hall of the National Art Museum of China. Its hull is filled with sharp arrows, like a huge wing.

Cai Guoqiang insisted on bringing the boat to Beijing. In addition to seeing it as a representative symbol of his art, Cai even felt that the boat was like his own shadow: sailing from one port to another, drifting Returned to China many years ago.
