Zuowang, literally meaning sitting and forgetting, refers to a classical way of Taoist meditation of when one sits quietly, forgets about the worldly affairs and connections, and enters a spiritual state of aloofness and being merged into the whole of the cosmo.

The term is further enriched in meaning to express an ideal lifestyle in which one is surrounded by nature, or one integrates the beauty and orders of nature into his day-to-day life, through which one ascends to a state of the unity of the physical and spiritual beings.

Sit, Forget, an interior design exhibition at Guihai Qinglan, a space of art and culture seated between the picturesque mountains and waters of Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, shows the philosophies and aesthetics of life held by three Chinese designers.
