The sudden outbreak of Covid-19 epidemic is an unprecedented battle for mankind, in which the sublimity and greatness of the human nature of medical workers in the frontlines from all countries is seen clearly from their brave devotion to the rescue of the infected. It is also an indication of the real concerns and attitudes as well as the abilities of the politicians of all countries in their dealing with emergencies. For most ordinary people, they also dramatized an interesting life play to the world. We are surprised to find out how much artistic people and people who are accompanied by art can bring to the world at this critical period of time. Their passion for artistic quality life has inspired countless lives. Art is not only the real record and representation of human history and life, sublimation of their spirit can also become a daily life mode of human beings, apart from the pursuit of materialism. At this special period when life is threatened by the virus, the desire of human beings to pursue and experience the spirit and even the spiritual space is becoming stronger and stronger. This disaster has brought us the opportunity of life reflection and the hope of rebirth. This paper tries to tell people that to live artistically while quarantining at home is not only what people at present are pursuing but also the long-term aspiration of life for the future.
