Early one morning, during a trip to Beijing, China, British painter ADAM NEATE joined street calligraphers in Beihai Park, to practise the art of DiShu : water calligraphy, creating ephemeral works of art which disappear as the water evaporates.
英国画家亞當·尼特（ADAM NEATE）在最近一次北京之旅的一天清晨，在北海公园加入街头书法家的行列，践行地书艺术：一种水书法，用水创造一种短暂的艺术作品，水一蒸发，作品就会消失。

ADAM NEATE:
“I’m a big fan of DiShu it is a great catalyst for entering ‘flow state’
我是地书的超级粉丝，它是进入“流动状态”的极佳催化剂。
An hour can seem like five minutes and you can paint without needing to concentrate on thinking – you are in ‘the flow’
The ephemeral nature of the work gives you a greater appreciation of ‘the now’一个小时看起来就像五分钟，你可以画，而无需集中思想思考，你处在“流动状态”。作品的短暂性让人更欣赏“现在”。
I was lucky to be able to travel to Beijing this year to experience DisHu in it’s homeland. Thank you all so much who were involved in making the film.
今年能够来北京在地书的家乡体验地书，我感觉很幸运。非常感谢参与制作此影片的所有人。”
