Read the quotes from the passage and answer the questions.
2　Why do you think the author chose to use quotes instead of reported speech in the passage
“During the walk and my stay here in the town, I saw the fish being fed by people. ...”
“There is no territory in the world of music.”
“I feel very grateful for the years in Xishuangbanna, ...”
The author chose to use quotes in the passage to tell readers how the three artists get their inspiration or muses for their artworks, and by adding these quotes, the passage appears more believable and more convincing.
1　What does the three artists’ inspiration have in common
2　What do you think is the “universal expression” of the human spirit
3　What might inspire you to create an artwork
4　What difficulties have you encountered in understanding this passage Share them with the class and ask for their advice.
Think & Share
By saying “universal expression”, Tan Dun means Chinese music should carry not only the Chinese human spirit but also that of the whole world. In that way, Chinese music can have international recognition.
For the three artists, their inspiration all comes from their lives and experiences.
