"The rejuvenation of withered wood" represents the artist's metaphorical critique of societal realities. By crafting paper flowers from calligraphy scripts of "The Revival of Withered Orchids" and placing them on dried wood, the artist satirizes various superficial phenomena in society. This includes using illusions to mask real issues or disguising internal decay through surface beautification. Such arrangement prompts viewers to reflect on societal realities, reflecting the artist's discontent and critical attitude towards societal hypocrisy.
