OVERVIEW
The "immortality" of dinosaurs was formed by the unremitting reconstruction of mankind on dinosaurs. Dinosaurs have been materialized and utilized bymankind continuously, at last, manifesting a clumsy and stereotyped image in public. We reproduce the status of dinosaurs in present society by means of social component, structure and manifestation method, then breaking it layer by layer.The concept regarding the status of life existence by Lao Tsu in Tao Te Ching wascited and substituted into dinosaurs; Centering on the core viewpoint: A small portion of dinosaurs changes into petroleum, a small portion of petroleum is to be refined into plastics, and a small portion of plastics is to be made into dinosaurs, conducting the fabrication of device in this manner. In this regard, the present natural status of dinosaurs was explored and studied by using fossils, after being alienated by mankind continuously, currently, the optimal status is manifested in public-either film image or science and education model.
Perhaps the continuous reconstruction of mankind on dinosaurs constitutes their immortal existence status. The work integrated device with animation, and three dimensions were laid emphasis on, namely: “About dinosaur itself, about mankind and dinosaurs, and about dinosaurs and society”; While in time, a futuredocument was formed ranging from past to present and then future, making the dinosaurs return to the new “optimal status”. The work took the flow and transformation of life status between nature and society as the main thread toexplore the assumptions of mankind on dinosaurs under different time and space.The story form of device was determined eventually through two model iterations:The device can be classified into the four layers of “regeneration, alienation, flowing deformation and sedimentation,” with which the different life status of dinosaurs was related layer by layer, and the survey and researches in this regard was compiled into the journal of Cretaceous Planning.

ANIMATION
The whole evolution process of dinosaurs corresponds to the five elements in Chinese medicine. The whole film starts with the devouring of black hole inuniverse, the earth has been established gradually, then the light and water appear, after establishing the ecological system, it starts with the dinosaur fossils, signifying the earth, and corresponds to 「change」 ; The emergence of mankind endows the fossils with the alienation process regarding human civilization, mankind splits and arrange the fossils by means of wars; Then thefossils were 「collected」 in museums, from the superior observation view gradually dropping down, and finally immersing into the flood of mechanized industry for mankind; The dinosaurs were covered with one layer of ash after storing, they were stacked in warehouses, but in the meantime, existing in various popular cultures;, At last, they were delivered to the hands of mankind again.
