2024年1月，这是一位来自崇左的守窖人，偏远的乡道来往的人本就不多，天气降温，鲜有人来拜访。我的出现竟让他释放了一些天性，甚至舞蹈起来，他邀请我喝酒，聊起山的形状去“寻龙”。在这湿冷的溶洞中呆了第几年了，他已经记不起了，只告诉我，这是出来的第十五年，常常会想起远方家乡的高山。January 2024
This is a cellar keeper from Chongzuo.
His cave is on a remote country road that is rarely visited. Giving the weather was cooling down, fewer people would come to see him. My visit made him unleash some of his nature and start dancing. He invited me for a drink, talking about the shape of mountains and "searching for the dragon". He couldn't remember how many years he had stayed in this cold and humid cave but only told me that this was his fifteenth year away from home and that he often thought of the mountains in his faraway hometown. -

2024年2月，贵州兴义市，陈天明与他的“移动城堡”的合影。“2018年，我从江浙地区回老家后就开始建造，算是自然而然，多次拼凑尝试、逐渐组合而成，也有一点艺术冒险性，有好奇心，探索木结构建筑，为了稳固逐层减小而呈塔状。最近五年开荒复垦务农，2020年开始养土鸡土鸭，2021年逐渐种草养鹅养牛，其实养殖都亏损，2023年下半年开始卖牧草，未来的计划是减少养殖。”——来自他的自述February 2024, Xingyi, Guizhou Province
Chen Tianming and his "Moving Castle"
"In 2018, I returned home from Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and started to build my castle. It's kind of a natural process: I've tried many times to put pieces together and gradually assemble them into what it is now. There is a sense of artistic adventure, and it also incorporates my curiosity to explore timber-framed buildings. For stability purposes, I reduced the size floor by floor so the castle eventually took the shape of a tower.
In the last five years, I cleared a piece of land and started farming. I started to raise organic chickens and ducks in 2020. In 2021, I planted pasture grass and raised geese and cattle, but I've been farming at a loss. In the second half of 2023, I started to sell forage, and I plan to reduce the scale of farming."—— according to Chen Tianming's account.
