Their works can reveal the inner, spiritual or spiritual beauty of the object through the appearance of the object. compared with his brother, Zeng Peng is more interested in modern art techniques to express the innocent and lively childlike innocence. He abandons details and refines forms, pays no attention to the similarity of objects, and pursues the sense of form and the spiritual similarity of "the wonderful between similarity and dissimilarity". In recent years, Zeng Peng is interested in sheet structure, figures, birds and utensils are rolled, surrounded, folded, spelled and interspersed with clay pieces, which is full of the charm of children's three-dimensional paper folding toys. Zeng Peng attaches great importance to the deployment of clay and the careful use of kiln fire to enhance the texture and texture of clay. After firing, the taste of pottery is very strong. Zeng Li shows more inheritance and innovation of tradition, while Zeng Peng shows more transcendence of tradition. Just because of this, Zeng Li's works still exude mellow traditional charm in novelty, while Zeng Peng's works seem strange and modern.

Zeng Peng also has a series of excellent works, that is, the "kiln craftsman" old boat wood furniture series. These furniture materials are old ships retired in Southeast Asia in the early years. The wood is mainly made of rare teak from Nanyang and kundian (it takes at least a hundred years for the wood to become wood). The wood of these furniture is hard and thick. After years of baptism, plus Zeng Peng's natural modeling and keeping some traces of ship structure or natural erosion, the furniture is full of ruggedness and vicissitudes. Moreover, the designer abandons the nail and uses the traditional Chinese craft "tenon" to make the style more natural and unsophisticated.
