The so-called holistic art combines installation, behavior, and poetry recitation. Starting from a special personal experience a few years ago, Lao Hecong used glass bottles to represent human limitations. The bottle is the bottleneck, and everyone has their own bottle. He invited 50 friends to participate in opening the bottle together. Subsequently, fifty poets and artists were selected by drawing lots and "opened the bottle" one by one, reciting poems and other texts respectively.

Opening with experimental music based on military power, there are songs by Wu Hongfei, Lin Xizi, and Chen Yonghai in the middle to liven up the atmosphere. The whole three hours were filled with a lively atmosphere and frequent orgasms.

Academic host Zhu Qi said: Lao Hecong's unique experience has risen to a common dilemma in life. The Buddhist insights, artistic language, concepts, and forms of installations are all very well executed. Poet Lao He's first move was a high position, a ceiling, connecting several art forms, very powerful.
Academic host Wang Wangwan said: The profoundness of 'Opening the Bottle' lies in its ability to expose the illusion of language while also relying on language to construct rituals: denying the existence of truth while attempting to question it through poetry and philosophy.
Novelist and documentary director Xu Xing said: "Opening the Bottle" is undoubtedly a good work, it starts from the heart of Lao He.
