was born after the millennium and changed the Chinese music scene Jay Chou, in more than 20 years , has the identity of a creator, singer, director, actor, etc.
Perhaps influenced by his mother who is an art teacher, Jay Chou has a special liking for art. He often buries artistic elements as easter eggs in music videos and shares art on his Instagram account with 8.9 million fans.
Later, Jay Chou gradually became a collector, and now he appears as a curator.

Fang Wenshan has transformed into a trendy installation artist in recent years. He is good at mixing and matching his own lyrics to create new works of art. , thus entering into the exploration of three-dimensional text.
His work "East Wind Breaks" uses steampunk-style mechanical landscapes to echo the green landscapes described in the Song Dynasty's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".

△"Brilliant Star" | Katherine Bernhardt
American artist Katherine Bernhardt's works are a mixture of various pop culture images, with eye-catching and bright colors.
The painting she created for Jay Chou will make the audience smile knowingly. Microphones, basketballs, nunchucks...these symbols that accompany Jay Chou in life are also memories of our youth. Especially the pink background is so suitable for "Little Princess Jay".
△"Moon 20190810" | Wang Yuyang
"I will remain anonymous for you and play the piano under the moonlight" is the unique romantic tone of curator Jay Chou.
Chinese artist Wang Yuyang’s representative work “Moon” series brings this kind of romance to the exhibition with a colorful moon that exceeds imagination.

"Confession Balloon", which was so popular at the time, was also created into a work of art.
Artist Xu Bing uses his "Book of the Earth" symbols to cleverly translate the lyrics, waiting for you to decipher them on the spot.

Anselm Kiefer (anselm kiefer)
The most outstanding work in the exhibition is a huge "rainbow". When you see this, you will probably automatically hum "Tell me where the rainbow is", which is the creation of Anselm Kiefer, the representative artist of German Neo-Expressionism.
After seeing this work, Jay Chou sent the German translation of the lyrics of the song "Rainbow". After reading it, Kiefer greatly appreciated the beauty expressed in the song. This resonance from the creator allowed Jay Chou to collect this precious work. .

△ Elements related to Jay Chou at the exhibition hall.
In 2017, Jay Chou's "Strongest on Earth" world tour concert kicked off enthusiastically. At that time, he wore a shiny "shirt" with a red base.
After 7 years, this jersey came to Jiangcheng and was displayed as an exhibit.

In the 4,000-square-meter exhibition space, there are also 10+ mv scene reproductions.
Jay Chou's most classic album cover is none other than "Ye Huimei" released in 2003, which includes songs such as "In the Name of the Father", "Sunny Day" and "East Wind Breaks". These songs are still classics more than 20 years later. The scene on the
album cover has been moved to the exhibition hall, where retro furniture is scattered like medieval oil paintings, elegant and calm.

I think back then, how many people hummed "Hurry up and use the nunchaku, hum haha". Everyone wanted to become a master of using the nunchaku.
The scene of the "Nunchaku" music video was restored on site, and familiar lyrics covered the wall.

When you walk in the exhibition hall
You encounter familiar scenes
I remember the tossing and turning mood in "Still Wandering"
And on my grandma's birthday, I drove her for a ride in an antique car

As the king of Chinese language
Jay Chou is a proud idol
In that era when wired headphones were still used
He led us to a wider world
"Qili Xiang", "The Secret That Cannot Be Telln", "Sunny Day"
Every word is a "code"
The most beautiful thing is not the rainy day
It is the youthful years he spent with us
