“Light Sculpture†is a scientific and technological achievement developed by Nanchang Meinguang Environmental Technology Development Co., Ltd. It is a new art that combines traditional sculpture art, modern lighting technology and high-tech control means. It is a landscape in the daytime, and the characteristics of the night are the highlights. It solves the problem that the daytime effect and the night effect of the city beautified, and has made outstanding contributions to the urban environment construction. As early as 2003, CCTV gave a detailed report on the new art of "light sculpture", saying that "light sculpture" is a brand new wonder in the art field.

1. Light sculpture is the inheritance of traditional lighting art and sculpture art.
Since the Paleolithic period of more than 500,000 years, our ancestors have applied torches and bonfires. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Han Dynasty developed into the stage of oil lamp lighting; from the first incandescent lamp invented by Edison in 1879 to the first neon lamp in the French Royal Palace 100 years ago, from gas discharge sources to LED solid-state light sources that have been widely used today, With the advancement of science and technology, lighting technology is also advancing rapidly. It inevitably collides and combines with traditional sculptures. No matter how the modern lighting sculpture art develops, it is the inheritance of traditional lighting art and sculpture art. Only modern science and technology have given the vitality of light sculpture.
Sculpture is a kind of plastic art. It uses three methods of carving, engraving and plastic to create a visual and accessible artistic image with a certain space in the various plastic materials existing in nature, in order to reflect social life, express the artist's aesthetic feelings, aesthetic feelings and aesthetic ideals. the art of. When human beings were still in the Paleolithic era, primitive stone carvings and bone carvings appeared. From the Neolithic Age to the Roman era to today, traditional sculptures have always been the treasures of historical culture and modern culture.
Light is also a substance in nature. It is the most basic element for people to understand nature, transform nature and self-existence. The colorfulness of light is the foundation for all living things to form a colorful world. Our ancestors were awe-inspiring in the era of the ancient monks who walked from the tree to the upright walking, especially in the evolution of human society. The culture of worship of fire and the sun god has continued to this day. Our ancestors mastered the skills of firewood and fire preservation, and then humans gradually evolved from low-level animals to natural worlds. At the same time, our ancestors used to ignite bonfires and torches in the entertainment and rituals to create the atmosphere. In the long oil lamp era of human society development, our ancestors created various oil lamp lamps for different groups of people. Lanterns, court lights, and lanterns are all witnesses to the application of lighting art at that time. In large-scale celebrations and festivals held in ancient times, hundreds of oil lamps and candles were used to make complex lighting arrays and shapes. But why did we combine lighting and sculpture until now? That's because our science and technology have not developed to the extent of today. Oil lamps, incandescent lamps, sodium lamps, metal halide lamps, etc. are difficult to combine with sculptures of various shapes. The appearance of neon lights, because the lamp can make a variety of shapes, so that the combination of light and sculpture has a combination of space. But the real leap-forward development is after the emergence and application of solid-state light sources. Its small size, easy installation, long life and many other advantages create a good condition for the combination of light source and sculpture. The combination of the two can not only further enhance the connotation of the work, but also greatly enhance the appreciation value of the work. In the past ten years, the art of light sculpture has been rapidly developed. The collision and integration of lighting and traditional sculpture is a historical necessity.
