The concept of design -the fruits of diligent study
Once upon a time, in China, there is a poor classical scholar, he studied hard day and night, especially , and he used the light of the lightning bug in the night to work, to spare the candle. So to praise this story, there are the fables and phrases in Chinese, the fruits of diligent study.
The shape of design
This is a branch put in the stump. And on this branch, there is a little pouch made of a cloth permeable where it takes the lightning bugs.

Function of This light
1. Possible to control to 3 different degrees of brightness and possible to make the effect that the lightning bugs fly in the pouch.
2. 5 hours later, after the connection, this light will go off automatically.
Intention of design
1. The lightning bugs live just where there is not the pollution. So, actually, it isn’t so easy to find these bugs in the city. Through the lightning bugs reproduced with this light, we can consider about the pollution of nature also, we can feel the mood of lost nature.
2. To wake the signification of the fruits of diligent study, we can get the chance to appreciate to a favor of the nature and we think about the energy conservation.
3. With the shape of the branch and the stump, to emphasize about the utility of the materials refused.
4. To go off by itself 5 hours later means the life and the death; the law of nature. The lightning bugs make brighter themselves all the night and they die in the morning. I wanted to reproduce this phenomenon to show the law of nature and practically we can economize the energy with this function.
