In the journey of village ecological development, artworks, like brilliant stars, illuminate the vast world of ecological promotion, making abstract ecological concepts vivid, tangible, and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Lin Yue keenly perceived the enormous potential of artworks in spreading the beauty of village ecology and advocating green lifestyles. Therefore, she carefully planned and cleverly arranged to allow these artistic crystallizations, which embody the wisdom and emotions of the villagers, to shine brightly on the stage of ecological promotion.

The village's visitor center has now become an important window for showcasing eco-art. Inside the spacious and bright hall, paintings on the theme of ecology are hung on the walls in a well-organized manner. These paintings, vibrant in color and delicate in brushstrokes, vividly depict the ecological beauty of the village in all four seasons: In spring, wildflowers bloom across the mountains and fields, like stars scattered across the earth, with butterflies fluttering among them, seemingly telling of nature's vitality; in summer, dense forests are lush and verdant, sunlight filtering through the leaves to create golden dappled patterns, and streams murmur through the woods, playing a cool melody; in autumn, golden rice paddies ripple in the breeze, and orchards are laden with heavy fruit, their plump colors and alluring shapes making mouths water, as if displaying the joy of harvest; in winter, the entire village is covered in snow, the mountains are draped in silver, tranquil and sacred, with the occasional crow flying by, adding a touch of liveliness to this silent world. Visitors entering the hall are immediately drawn to these exquisite paintings, stopping to admire them, their eyes filled with amazement and enchantment. A tourist from afar remarked, "These paintings are simply a vivid portrayal of the village's ecology, making one feel as if they are in a peaceful paradise, experiencing the boundless charm of nature." Statistics show that during peak tourist season alone, the visitor center receives over 500 visitors daily. The display of these paintings extends the average visitor's stay at the center by about 30 minutes, significantly enhancing their understanding and impression of the village's ecology.

Besides paintings, the villagers' handicrafts have also become a highlight of ecological promotion. The display cases in the visitor center are filled with various handicrafts made from recycled materials. There are exquisite bird nests woven from discarded branches and vines, so lifelike they seem ready to attract birds to perch; wind chimes made from cut and polished glass bottles, producing a crisp, melodious sound in the breeze, as if singing a hymn to ecological harmony; and adorable animal dolls sewn from discarded fabrics and cotton, their endearing appearances bringing smiles while conveying the ecological concepts of protecting animals and caring for life. These handicrafts not only possess high artistic value but also contain profound ecological educational significance. Many visitors, after admiring these handicrafts, expressed that they were deeply inspired and gained a deeper understanding of ecological protection. One visitor with her child said to her child, "Honey, look how these uncles and aunties can make such beautiful things from recycled materials. We should also learn to protect the environment and cherish resources in the future!"

To further expand the impact of ecological awareness campaigns, Lin Yue organized villagers to create brochures from the artworks, which were widely distributed to surrounding cities and used in tourism promotion activities. The brochure cover features a painting titled "Ecological Home," depicting village houses nestled amidst green hills and clear waters. Under a blue sky and white clouds, villagers work in the fields, and children play by the river, creating a scene brimming with harmony and happiness. Inside the brochure, not only are exquisite paintings displayed, but also detailed information about the village's ecological development history, ecological protection measures, and ecotourism resources. Each painting is accompanied by concise and vivid descriptions, allowing readers to better understand the ecological implications of the artwork. For example, next to a painting depicting the ecological restoration of the village river, the text reads: "This river, once polluted and lifeless, has now regained its clarity and vitality thanks to the villagers' joint efforts. Fish swim freely again, and aquatic plants sway gracefully, becoming a beautiful feature of the village's ecosystem." These brochures, distributed through various channels, have achieved excellent promotional results. According to feedback statistics, more than 70% of readers expressed great interest in the village's ecological development after reading the brochure and were willing to visit.

Artworks are ubiquitous in the village's tourist attractions. Following the winding mountain paths, small art displays appear at regular intervals. These displays feature paintings and photographs created by villagers, showcasing the ecological beauty of every corner of the village. In a dense forest, a photograph on a display captures the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves and the silhouettes of various rare birds, making visitors feel as if they've stepped into a mysterious natural kingdom. Beside the village's ancient stone bridge, paintings depict the bridge, the babbling brook, and the weeping willows on both banks, creating a scene full of poetry and ancient charm. Visitors are frequently drawn to these displays, stopping to admire them and experience the perfect fusion of village ecology and art. One photography enthusiast, after seeing these displays, excitedly remarked, "These works complement the natural landscape perfectly, adding a lot of artistic atmosphere to the entire tour and allowing me to feel the unique charm of this village."

Lin Yue also actively promoted the dissemination of artworks on online platforms. She organized villagers to create short videos from paintings, photographs, and songs, and posted them on various social media platforms. These short videos quickly attracted the attention of many netizens with their exquisite visuals, moving music, and profound ecological themes. One short video showcasing the village's ecological agriculture featured farmers working in the fields using organic farming methods. The golden rapeseed fields, lush green vegetable gardens, and blue sky and white clouds created a beautiful pastoral scene, accompanied by the melodious "Song of Ecological Homeland," which garnered extremely high views and likes online. According to data from the short video platform, within a week of its release, the video received over 100,000 views and over 5,000 likes, and was widely shared by netizens, resulting in the village's ecological image being widely disseminated online.
