In his works Zhang Jianlong is trying to show the spirit of the people of the long past who he believes were less narrow-minded in comparison with present people. Zhang Jianlong: "Nowadays culture destroys the humankind natural rationality, it sneaks into a person unseen, influences him and oppresses his intuition from the day he was born. The state of mind and thoughts are subjected to civilization which is causing a lack of dauntlessness and creativity".
