ZHANG CANGSHUI

ZHANG CANGSHUI

Set along the scenic promenade of Hua'ao Island in Xiangshan, the "Zhang Cangshui" sculpture serves as a solemn bridge between Ningbo's maritime history and its natural beauty. Standing 3 meters tall, the statue depicts the Ming Dynasty general in official robes, holding a scroll while gazing resolutely toward the distant sea. Utilizing the ancient lost-wax casting method with a weathered brass finish, the work captures the intricate textures of historical attire and the stoic expression of a national hero. The sculpture's robes appear to flutter in the coastal breeze, symbolizing a spirit that remains steadfast against the tides of time. This installation transforms a scenic route into a cultural journey, allowing visitors to connect with the island's defense legacy while surrounded by its breathtaking mountain and sea views.
