郭凤怡起初为了减轻疾病的痛苦而开始练习气功，之后伴随着对生命哲学的不断体悟，许多视觉幻像时时涌现在她的眼前，必须用纸笔加以表达才可调整身体与心智的平衡。其作品的主题、思想和结构均来自于中国传统的思想体系，包括古老的宇宙观、人体穴位图、传说预言、三皇五帝、河图洛书、帝葬和占卜等。
Guo Fengyi first began practicing qigong to alleviate the pain of her illness, and then, as she continued to realize the philosophy of life, many visual visions appeared in front of her eyes, which she had to express with pen and paper in order to regulate the balance between her body and her mind. The themes, ideas and structures of her works are derived from traditional Chinese systems of thought, including the ancient cosmology, the human body‘s acupuncture point diagrams, legendary prophecies, the Three Emperors, the Hetu Luoshu, imperial burials and divination.
《郭凤怡：宇宙经络》一书以命名术、氛围宗教、气功、内观-遥视、线条、数字、古代宇宙观等关键词来索引郭氏的创作历程。本书以左右分册的结构收录郭凤怡不同时期的作品共计70幅，左册集中呈现郭氏自1989年伊始的早期创作，以探究这位艺术家的生命经验开始的动因；右册则以经折方式呈现其创作历程中的节点性代表作品，以观其整体创作变化。与此同时，书中收录了台南艺术大学艺术创作理论研究所教授龚卓军与写作者、策展人王欢的两篇研究性文章。
The book, GUO FENYI: COSMIC MERIDIANS, indexes Guo’s creative journey with keywords such as nomenclature, ambient religion, qigong, internal view-remote view, lines, numbers, and ancient cosmology. The book is divided into left and right volumes containing a total of 70 works from different periods of Guo Fengyi’s career. The left volume focuses on Guo‘s early creations since 1989, in order to explore the motivation behind the beginning of the artist’s life experience; the right volume presents representative works at the nodes of Guo‘s creative history in a warp-folding manner, in order to observe the overall changes in his creations. At the same time, the book includes two research articles by Gong Zhuojun, a professor at the Institute of Art Creation Theory, Tainan National University of the Arts, and Wang Huan, a writer and curator.
“宇宙经络”暗合了郭凤怡创作中两条重要路径，一如心灵和宇宙之间时常被认为是有与生俱来的关联，前者向内揭示人类的本能和冲动；后者向外总结世界的存在和法则，它们都关乎人类最为原始的求知，这亦是郭凤怡作为创作者生命开始的地方。
The “cosmic meridians” allude to two important paths in Guo’s creative work, just as the mind and the universe are often thought to be innately related, with the former revealing human instincts and impulses inwardly, and the latter summarizing the existence and laws of the world outwardly, both of which are related to man‘s primal quest for knowledge, which is where Guo’s life as a creator begins. This is also where Guo Fengyi‘s life as a creator begins.
