Ordinance of the Subconscious Treatment (心伺令) is a collection of neuroaesthetic objects and environments that investigates the themes of mental health and contemporary Chinese culture. Each room is a manifestation of a mental state. Intended to be both provoking and hypnotic, intimidating and soothing, the rooms and objects interweave religious and folkloric references with scientific and narrative cues informed by contemporary mental health practices.
The silk embroidery features not religious iconography or inscriptions but chemical symbols such as dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, and various phrases. The wide-ranging sentiments and cultural references are all connected: they are a reflection on the belief systems people have today and the sense of what brings happiness.
Together, the curation of aesthetic elements in the whole project plays with the psychological tension between fear and love, authority and empathy, eeriness and familiarity, sublime and ordinary, psychedelic and sober, pain and healing, conflict and conciliation, brutality and subtlety, control and disorganization, illusion and reality, fullness and emptiness. The rooms and furniture confront, intimidate, confuse, hypnotize, provoke, embrace, soothe, or heal the visitor.

心伺令（Ordinance of the Subconscious Treatment）——位于中国江苏常州的一处艺术公寓空间——是一个以对心理健康和当代中国性主题的探索为主线，关于整体审美体验的心理学深度的实验作品。
民宿单一色调的房间内陈列了手工刺绣丝绸覆盖的家具。每个房间（或组间）都为访客提供一种独特的体验。在全球心理健康意识增强和神经科学进步的背景下，这些房间被视为一种能唤起情感的精神空间的实体表现。
室内建筑设计仅使用了当代普通公寓住房的材料和元素（手术灯除外），却唤起访客对医院环境和中国历史地点的一种印象。通过突变，例如形成精确的对称或使墙体随机生长，普通的房间开始变得怪异，唤起一种仿佛参观神话中的中国假山花园和庙堂的空间体验。
在设计师看来，“中式”作为一种设计风格，不需要直接使用中国古典式设计的材料和形状；很少有当代中国年轻人在真的古典中式房子里长大。 “中式”更多的是一种印象。当代普通中国人生活的日常环境——粉刷的墙、踢脚线、白瓷砖、九十年代的马赛克瓷砖，有时出现的水磨石地板——也可以被认为是“中式”，因为它让中国人感到亲切熟悉，并植根于人们的集体记忆中。
相比之下，民宿的艺术家具系列，融汇了一些在认知上令人产生敬畏的标志性中国历史物件的形态，却承载了当代关于心理健康的叙事内容。该系列包括椅子、沙发、落地灯、边桌/茶几和一对抽屉柜塔。抽屉柜塔的形状由底部的香炉形态向顶部的宝塔形态过渡。刺绣图案看起来感觉像古典的花卉、云彩等符号以及道教的灵符，却装饰性地描绘了与大脑健康和心理健康有关的化学物质的分子结构：多巴胺、血清素、舍曲林、催产素、β-内啡肽、维生素D、维生素B12、Omega-3，褪黑素。刺绣上的文字包括心理咨询师的耳边询问和有关受创伤者的独白句子等。为了加强梦幻感和疗愈感，所有家具表面以下都铺有软海绵，包括边桌的桌面。
家具作为工艺物品，被设计师视为是记录人类文化历史的容器。中国古典家具，尤其是佛教、道观等宗教和礼仪场所的家具，多采用黄色丝织品绣制符号和文字，宣扬历史上宗教和民间信奉的有关止痛求乐的理念。 Duyi Han的家具系列改变和演进了装饰里的内容，反映了对心理健康现代科学方面的一种当代信奉。
整个项目中的美学元素的集合结果，在恐惧与爱、权威与同情、诡异与熟悉、崇高与平凡、迷幻与清醒、痛苦与治愈、冲突与和解、残酷与微妙、控制与散乱、虚拟与真实、充实与空虚之间触发心理张力。这些房间和家具在一种程度上对抗、恐吓、迷惑、催眠、挑衅、拥抱、抚慰或治愈来访者。

“Oxytocin” drawer cabinet
“Dopamine” floor lamp
Inspired by Taoist talisman, the embroidery depicts the chemical symbol of dopamine and Billie Eilish lyrics and reflects a mental attitude of contemporary people towards health and happiness.
“Serotonin-Sertraline” floor lamp
The work juxtaposes functional and decorative elements in Chinese Buddhist temples: crown, parasol, and draping banners. The silk embroidery features questions asked during a therapist conversation, and chemical symbols of serotonin (related to happiness) and sertraline (an antidepressant).
Embroidery text translation:
Which emotions do you feel and why do you have these emotions?
So do you want to call and chat now or do you want to spend some time alone?
So have you done each thing on the checklist and are these things satisfactory?
How do you each feel? If you feel not satisfied, why?
What were you thinking at the time and what did you do in the end?
Did you do something you don’t want to do and did you ask the other person to do something you actually don’t care about?
Is the decision you made based on your state at the time that suits you?
What factors led to your decision at the time and how do you make a better decision next time?
If you don’t consider external conditions, what is the state you want?
Is the choice you made because of what you want or what feels more appropriate?
