Now read the passage and find out what inspires each artist.
While-reading
Every artist's wish is to create something that expresses an idea. But where do artists get their ideas from Who or what inspires them Here we find out more about the influences behind the successes of three very different artists.
Let’s find out what inspires each artist.
Hofman gets inspiration from his children’s toys, Chinese folk tales, Wuzhen and the way people lived there.
Tan Dun gets inspiration from Chinese musical traditions and Western influences.
Yang Liping gets inspiration from her life in Xishuangbanna, the peacock, and the dance style of the Dai people.
Florentijn Hofman, visual artist
Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch artist, whose large sculptures are on display all over the world. One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children's toys. These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures, such as the famous Rubber Duck. A more recent work of his is the huge Floating Fish, which was set among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone.
Main idea: Florentijn Hofman turns to his children's toys to find inspiration.
Hofman's inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales passed down through the generations. He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”. This story came to life for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there.
Main idea: His inspiration for Floating Fish came from a Chinese folk story.
“During the walk and my stay here in the town, I saw the fish being fed by people. You see also some fish sculpted on the wall.” These sights set Hofman's idea for Floating Fish in motion.
Main idea: The sights in Wuzhen made Hofman his creation.
Tan Dun, composer
"There is no territory in the world of music." These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun. He is most widely known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
To listen to Tan's music is to experiene a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Westrn influences. Since his fist opera, Nine Songs, Tan Dun has been using a combination of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories. As Tan once said, Chinese music should carry "universal expression" of the human spirit so as to be recognised by the whole world.
Main idea: Tan Dun's inspiration comes from the combination of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world.
Yang Liping, dancer
Yang Liping's passion is dancing. After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance, she has been known as tbe "Peacock Princess”. The inspiration for her famous dances has come from the time she spent in Xishuangbanna,Yannan Province.
"I felt very grateful for the years in Xishuanghanna," says Yang. “ It gave me a chance to go deeper into the lives of various ethnic groups... Our ethnic groups, espesially the Dai people, admire the peacock. They think the peacock represents the beauty of nature. I especially like the dance style of the Dai people and it gives me lots of inspiration. My dance comes fom their traditinal belief and aims to bring out the Dai women's beauty."
Main idea: Yang Liping's inspiration comes from her experiences in Xishuangbanna.

[注意]
① 过去分词用作表语时，在功能上更接近形容词，它不仅可用于系动词be之后，也可根据需要用于其他系动词(如seem)之后；
