Art comes from life and art comes from nature. Whether engaged in photography, painting or literary creation, artists can only create touching works with strong vitality if they devote themselves to the fiery and colorful life and the vast and beautiful nature. It is an important part for artists to go outdoors and collect ideas and materials for their own creation by participating in life and experiencing life.

Lu Yao, a famous late writer, lived in a local coal mine for several months in order to create Ordinary World. He wore miners' clothes and helmets many times, and went underground to dig coal with miners to truly experience their working life. He also went to the local countryside to eat and live with farmers, sat on the kang and had a long talk, went to the fields to weed and plant seedlings, learned about local customs and habits, and so on, and accumulated a lot of first-hand information. Only in this way can he achieve such a touching and great work as Ordinary World.

The artistic achievements of the 19th century French painter Jerome mainly benefited from his two trips to the Near East in his life. During these two long trips, he learned in detail about the customs of the Near East, including Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon and other countries, and expressed them artistically with a large number of oil paintings, which is known as "the artistic expression of a foreigner who is the greatest painter in the Near East".

Luo Zhongli, a famous contemporary painter in China, went to Daba Mountain, the hometown of his father's prototype Deng Kaixuan, for three times to experience life. Finally, he created his masterpiece Father with emotion.

It can be said that it is an indispensable option for artists to go out of the bookstore, painting room and movie room and collect ideas from nature in their lives, which is also the source of inspiration for artists. Although some people have created best-selling works at home in the internet age, generally speaking, such "works of art" will not last long.
