Chang Yu Teng thinks everyone probably has a limitless expectancy dream about the future.

For Chang, this contrast let him understands that heart and soul are the springhead of creation.
Modern ready-made things plus classical oil painting concept is the technique of expression that Chang Yu Teng wants to talk about what is his Utopia "Tao Yuan Er Tsun". "Tao Yuan Er Tsun" series get used to use an empty fort to be the main subject. It means a kind of personal living field. Different objects are combined together in one same scene, and the artist gives them different meaning: rose is wonderful result, butterfly is the symbol of fantasy, key hints some way of the answer. Actually, Chang thinks everyone can give subjective opinion to the works. It improves the scene interest and space imagination, also expresses the unique thought of the artist adequately. Chang Yu Teng set the composition brilliantly, and his works can attract viewers to think the contents of the works further. When viewers think more beyond the works, they will raise mysterious feeling to his works automatically.
