Creativity can have a very calming effect for practitioners and spectators alike. It can be a catalyst for imagination, inspiring us to seek out new experiences, tastes and places. It can enrich our lives and strike a balance between contented composure and thirst for knowledge, and that is precisely the ethos behind Chuangyilife.com.

Reinvigorate the senses by discovering a new history behind things familiar and well-known. Take coffee, for example: this month we explore the fascinating history of a product that for many has become a day to day staple. Our sommelier, Julien David Le Gentil offers his advice for a blind wine tasting – a great way to challenge the senses and reflect on one of life’s luxuries: fine wine.

In the same way, Shanghai-based architect Kokaistudio has revived an existing structure, imbuing it with a new timelessness and elegance. Similarly, Mr Huang Xuanlong is keeping another element of the world in which we once lived alive through his collection of ancient Chinese scholarly objects. And if you’re someone who thinks sculpture is all crumbling marble figures, then think again: thanks to the 2010 Expo in Shanghai, some of the world’s leading contemporary artists are showing their dazzling and varied sculptures in the city.

So, enjoy: we hope you get as much satisfaction out of discovering and re-discovering just some of the creativity to be found in the world around us as we do.

生活需要创意,创意点燃生活。随着年龄的增长,我们都将经历一个慢慢沉淀的过程。青葱时期的五颜六色,光怪陆离,我们敢于尝试和经历,这被我们命名为“累积”的时代.后来,我们感到需要有一个确切的方向安静下来了,于是，我们开始整理过往,重新以自己的源头为起点,出发.而这，被我命名为“沉淀”的时代。

我们这里就为此提供一个沉淀的空间，以及这样的一个世界。

看看6月号的阅读单,我们带领大家凑一下热闹,走进世博园，品味雕塑这个沉默但有艺术气场的展品，顺道了解一下雕像背后意味深长的故事和哲理，这是意外的惊喜之一。

然后,轻松时刻，我们为你准备了很多关于coffee的经典小故事，从咖啡豆及它的种种冒险经历开始,直到它来到我们手上的咖啡杯里！

还有……相信你还会在我们采访的文房四宝收藏家的身上学到一些新的知识，还可以关注一下Ricci利氏中法辞典dvd发行这件语言历史上的大事件,以及Kokaistudio呈现给我们的海派旧建筑×现代设计新作——庭院幽幽的“天之翼”；对葡萄酒有一种莫名喜爱的话，一定不能错过这次的大学堂——盲品葡萄酒，品酒一分高下！

生活也许就是这样子，充满了多元化的创意和设计，坚定的自我和喜悦共存着。
