This series of photos documents the battle between two Chinese martial arts masters in an attempt to capture the best moments of their battle. The red-tasselled spear (performed by Ling Yun, the Chinese non-hereditary inheritor) represents the warm, while the Tai chi (performed by Yang Shunhong, the world champion of Tai Chi) represents the soft. The picture uses warm fire and cool lights to tell the characteristics of the two forms of martial arts and generates visual conflict and character contrast. It emphasizes the protection and inheritance of China's intangible cultural heritage.
