My heart is dry
Text/Liu Expedition
A few years ago, for quite a long time, I was painting figures, pursuing what I understood as ancient meaning and purity.
On a casual visit to a friend, I saw two inkblots of Mr. Tang Li hanging in front of the wall in the reception room of a friend, and I was deeply attracted by the image of the work and the majesty of the pen and ink, and stood in front of the painting for a long time. I clearly felt that my aesthetic was touched by an unprecedented level, and I knew that The Qing ren Fang Kaoru "painted a bland view at first, and a long time regarded the gods as superior." "The argument is true. Knowing that your creation requires technical correction and making up for the lack of spiritual energy. I sighed in my heart that Mr. Tang Li's freehand brush and ink were so impactful and convincing! It was written into an article entitled "The True Capitalization of the Chinese Painting World - Mr. Guan Tangli's Sense of Chinese Painting" appeared in the media. It was such an opportunity that also triggered my desire to learn freehand flower and bird painting.

I was fortunate that in 2016, I was admitted to the Graduate School of the China Academy of Arts and became Mr. Tang Li's Master of Fine Arts student. Mr. Li is a scholar of painting who attaches equal importance to theory and law, and has been immersed in the creation and freehand research for many years, adhering to the excellent tradition and profound family learning, has a broad perspective on the art of the East and the West, and has a more inclusive mind for various types of excellent culture. On the basis of drawing on his predecessors, Mr. Tang Li painted a rambling and majestic style. Mr. Tang Li said: "In the past hundred years, the gradual study of the West and the East has made the Chinese paintings that were once independent of the world, especially the large-scale freehand flower and bird paintings, in serious decline, in this case, Chinese paintings, especially the large-scale freehand flowers and birds, are important to inherit, and inheritance is more meaningful than innovation." When the teacher clearly saw that "large-scale freehand flower and bird painting" as an excellent traditional culture, there were serious deficiencies and breaks in the inheritance, and the sages could not carry forward their learning, and established the "Red Painting Society" in Beijing. I and a group of young people who are interested in learning often gather in Jinghua, surrounded by Mr. Tang Li, and watched with bated breath.

Mr. Demonstration is now a powerful and powerful pen, like a cone of painting sand, between rapid changes, a pen exquisite presentation makes me and my classmates dazzled, the heartstrings have been brought into the painting realm by the wonderful brush and ink rhythm of the teacher, and the thirsty heart is like drinking sweet springs, experiencing the powerful appeal infused into the world of perception and the happiness of being infiltrated by the beauty of pen and ink. Mr. Li's teaching of freehand flowers and birds can be described as a diligent and tireless effort, and he is a propagator of freehand painting. The guidance and correction guidance for each student is based on the individual. In the specific demonstration and evaluation of painting and painting, the problems such as the shape of the large freehand painting and the relationship between brush and ink will be raised, and then the correct concepts and techniques will be taught to the students. Time and again, we are told that the principles of nature and art are flexible and wonderful in freehand painting. Although I was a student of comprehension bias, the teacher bothered to correct me a lot, and after a period of study and practice, my aesthetic and creative views also underwent a subtle change. I have a preliminary understanding of the art of freehand painting.

During the study, I watched the teacher painting again and again, and saw the sonorous calligraphy with a pen and a clear pen and ink layout, which was shocking everywhere. It was the influence of Mr. Tang Li's freehand thoughts that made me appreciate the supreme and strong pen and ink character and the grandeur of the pen and ink passion, which allowed me to get out of this kind of distress and trepidation, and I can also soberly dissect myself today. Written, there is a sentence in the "Book of Poetry and Shao Feng" that "travels with words to write about my worries", and "Xiao Ya Tateshina" also has the sentence "Seeing a gentleman, my heart writes Xi". The writing here is expressive, a cathartic expression. It's a lot more complicated. It should be the comprehensive knowledge structure of a person, the condensation of all philosophical concepts and cultural concepts, all feelings and perceptions of truth, goodness and beauty, and finally condensed into pen and ink. "Bighand" is the re-condensation and purification of pen and ink. As Ni Zhan said, "Yu Zhizhu chats to write the yiqi ear in the chest", and "yiqi" is Ni Zhan's "meaning". It is his mature artistic accomplishment, the new cultural crystallization produced by the transformation of Confucian and Taoist culture into an individual literati, coupled with the flash of his personality temperament. In the context of capitalization, this is how I understand the "fullness" of Mencius's "fullness is beauty." If not, freehand would really become a catharsis, which is closer to the Western expressionist view. I clearly know that pointillist and line are the cornerstones. Without solving the correctness of the pen and ink consciousness, everything is empty talk. Under the guidance of the teacher, the repeated tempering, the deep experience of meilan zhuju's various themes, in this process, the copying of Tang Wenxuan's works gave me great help. Mr. Tang Wenxuan's pen is strong and strong, and his painting style is thick and majestic, and he can heal my weak disease. Copying the feeling over and over again gradually took effect, slowly using the strength of the pen to strengthen, and the rhythm was clear. Only then did he have the confidence and courage to further pursue the boldness of the picture. There is endless nutrition in tradition, and in the process of learning, I strive to approach and continue the chain of tradition, absorbing her connotation and grace.

The art of freehand flower and bird painting is the most brilliant in the history of modern and contemporary painting, leaving us with a deep tradition, this discipline is the ultimate presentation of the expressiveness of Chinese brush and ink, is a poetic expression, is a song when words are insufficient in painting, and is most closely integrated with the art of calligraphy. The mysterious Mysteries of Qingteng, Baiyang, and bada Shanren; the Qingjian and Colorful Of the Yangzhou School; The Park Houxiong of Miaoweng; and the Unbridled Old Man of Baishi. Let me wander under a group of Tallinns and monuments, which is the lofty "heaven and earth charm" constructed by the sages. At this moment, infinite nostalgia rises from the chest, and can get close to the art of freehand and wander in it. Lucky to be guided by the teacher's demand, there is a road that extends far under my feet, which is the most gratifying and grateful thing in this life! No matter how the outside world changes, bring comfort and gratitude to move forward...
