Tang Mingwei has drawn a large number of geometric abstract works of mechanical drawing style with an unusual rational spirit and an engineer like rigorous style. These works only intend to express one thing, which is the spirit of Rationalism. Westerners have established a strong industrial civilization and legal social system through Rationalism thinking mode. For the Chinese, having a Rationalism way of thinking can at least enable us to better grasp and use the achievements of industrial civilization created by Westerners, so as to enjoy a better life, even if it can not allow us to produce scientific and technological inventions and creations that surpass those of Westerners in a short period of time. Kandinsky told us, "The mathematics of mathematics and the mathematics of art are completely different fields
From Tang Mingwei's cold abstract works without emotional expression, we can feel the radiance of the will to life beyond sensibility, and appreciate the beauty of the mathematical structure as the intrinsic essence of the universe.
