“Golden crow” is a totem of sun bird. There is a version of myth of sunbirds ever since ancient times---Jin Wu Zai Ri(金乌载日)，sun is pronounced to be wu now in the local dialects of Yiwu. It’s noted that sunbird is also a totem for human being in primitive society, worship of sun and worship of birds are two major spiritual beliefs. “The Dream of Sunbird” aims to utilize sculpture ontology to construct an ideal world with such totem beliefs, so we would hold an outdoor sculpture invitational exhibition annually and blend it with classical cultural theme and elements of related countries along “One Belt One Road” gradually, we hope that it can make sculpture park in Yiwu city become an important platform to research and lead the development of public arts and it could be an eternal monument in the One Belt One Road, it would also make citizens of other country along the “One Belt One Road” share the developmental result of contemporary China and keep them track of the China’s goodwill of peaceful development.

We invite artists from eight countries on the route of Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe（China, Poland, Russia, Belarus, French, Spanish, Kazakhstan and Germany）to make sculptures for the Marquette exhibition. Their works carry and reflect a kind of distinctive cultural glamour, present an extraordinary creativity and imagination, explore artistic visual limitation and break down the human being’s intellectual constraint. With the cultural influence beyond the times and spaces and with artistic atmosphere across the national boundaries, it will exert a subtle influence to the Yiwu—the beginning point of new Silk Road, in such a way, it will definitely enhance the international influence and reputation of Yiwu.

A full operation of the longest international freight train line, Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe, has been regarded as an important strategic measure of “One Belt One Road”. Yiwu, the city renowned for the largest-scale distributing center for small commodity, plays a prominent role inSilk RoadEconomic Belt. since it becomes a new starting point of New Silk Road, it obviously shoulders a new mission—to be a platform to let the China advance to the world, “One Belts One Road” strategy will open doors of opportunities to connect Chinese and Eurasian culture and economy, which has a profound significant. Taking the opportunity of constructing “One Belt One Road”, we will make use of imperceptible influence of culture and advantage of “Antecedent of Humanism” to hold The First Dream of Sunbird International Outdoor Sculpture Invitational Exhibition Marquette Exhibition to tell the china story and reclaim the china dream.
