Chen Yi-lang's art career began with Taiwan traditional wood carving, after the establishment of his original style; his "The Word Carvings" series attracts most attentions in the art scene. Chen received Golden prize in 2001's Yu-long wood carving context; in 2003, he had won the 3rd position in the national wood carving context, his work "Rope" is collected by national art museum or Taiwan, Chen's already an icon in Taiwan's wood carving scene.

"The Word Carvings" series is Chen's most startling works to date, and the four beasts in Four Seasons is the only coherent works in the series, "Four Seasons" and have already become the representative work in that series after several exhibitions. "Four Seasons" was represented to the viewers with enduring stainless steels, it can be regarded as the conclusion of Chen's "The Word Carvings" series. It has a strong contrast to wood carving's mildness and warmness, stainless steels has given the work itself a different kind of feel, much more dramatic than the wood version, however it still has that glamorous and self- composed quality as the original wood version. There are only 8 editions of the stainless steel version of "Four Seasons" exists.
