This book is an elaboration of Zhuzhu's award-winning article, which has obtained the Chinese Contemporary Art Award 2011 (CCAA) Critics Award. Zhuzhu puts forth an analysis on the controversies over Chinese contemporary art canons in the period of 2000-2009. The decade has been crucial for the society to thoroughly re-examine local art nowadays.

 'Since beginning of the 21st century, Chinese contemporary art has been a revelry of capitalism and formalism. Yet the inner thirst of human's spirit inevitably cast a heavy shadow on the society. Regarding the rapid change of the relationship between environment and the expression of inner spirits, the book presents orderly-arranged art incidents and important art creation over the 11 years. It introduces almost all active and significant artists, supplemented with around 300 images, aiming to map the overall view of the art industry in a comprehensive and in-depth manner.' - translated from flapped page.

本書根據作者朱朱在中國當代藝術獎2011評論獎(CCAA)獲獎寫作方案所著。2000到2009年這十年是中國內外重新審視中國當代藝術的重要時期，朱朱在中國當代藝術正典受到熱議之時，對此論題作出分析。

「新世紀以來的中國當代藝術，迎來了一場資本與形式的狂歡，卻似乎也褪不去精神貧血的灰色底調，本書圍繞著這一外在環境與內在表達之間的雙重變奏，系統梳理了這十一年的藝術創作和事件，介紹了參與其中的幾乎所有重要藝術家，並附作品圖片近三百張，構建了一幅全面、深入的現世藝術景象。」 - 摘自書背摺頁。
