Her beauty stems from her composure.
She has both the calmness of fishing alone in the cold river and not waiting for the eyes, and the calmness of the boat full of warehouses on the rivers and lakes.
She is both literary and intellectual, and she laughs sweetly and a little through, and she has a taste without looking. The first impression is generous, well-proportioned and comfortable.
As for the word "comfortable", she believes: "People, first of all, must be true, good, and beautiful, and they must have heartfelt feelings." For example, I go to an occasion, there is a kind of person who does not speak but the breath is clear, after three words and two words, it feels very comfortable, this impression and breath is a true exchange, so it feels very comfortable and unforgettable. ”
In the meantime, she leisurely saw Nanshan. A texture that enriches life, makes life full of infinite tension.
She is Zhang Tianying, a guest of the Outstanding Female Interview Program in this issue of Women Recorder.

◇◆◇
A pair of antique old wooden doors, the head of the door hangs "Wu Lu Xuan" three calm and rounded and slightly golden stone flavor plaques. The threshold is moderately high, and a national, historical, and cultural atmosphere comes to the surface.
The door is hidden, and with a casual push, there is a creak, so that the breath inside and outside is connected. The bookcase on the left, the Bogu shelf on the right, and a huge painting of flowers and birds in the center. Culture, history, nature, these Chinese cultural attributes are highly integrated. The so-called bookish atmosphere, wild escape, mountain forest atmosphere and heavy sense make our emotions also instantly substitute.
The host's light and polite gesture exudes a calm beauty, which also brings us closer to each other's empathy.
Hot tea and seasonal fruits show her welcome and respect for her visitors. The simple dress and the pavilion posture make people awe-inspiring. I suddenly realized – this is culture! Only culture, the inner culture, cultivates people's temperament, and with a few cold noises, we will melt together.
Zhang Tianying, born in Heze, Shandong, was enlightened to study with his father in Shuigou Town, the hometown of Confucius seventy-two sages in Qianyang, Shaanxi. Qianyang is expected to be Lutai, which is the place where Yan Ling respects his teachers and learns, and there are still relics to be found. Lu, Shandong, and now Zhang Tianying has come to Qianyang from Shandong and studied in Yan Ling's hometown, which is not providence, but also a coincidence.
I suddenly thought to myself, asking myself, this woman who could have been with the times, flowing through flashy and enthusiastic, but returned to a "plain life", is this the bone of Tao Qian, or the aspiration of Qu Zi? Does she choose to escape or to be sober?
This empty moment, the water for cooking tea boils, and the steam is steaming. Half concealed and half revealed her countenance, and added some divinity to her intellectual lightness, like the posture of the indoor potted grass, and like the general's sword in the tea table; the blue flowers of the right shade were set off by the white glaze, making her beauty not aggressive, and making her eyebrows clear and vivid.
Her face has not lived up to the time, and in the dictionary of a successful woman, there is probably no more fortunate than keeping time!
This is also the first impression given by Zhang Tianying. Friends said that she has been through her own accumulation and feelings to achieve self-sublimation, chai rice oil and salt is the need of life, but she is never material, she always sees is the interest outside of life, she is such a woman.
Is this woman troubled? This is also the first thing I pay attention to after the tea party is spread.
Chinese women's secret conversations, home, is the first topic. Zhang Tianying's ancestral home is Shandong, his father was born in Xingwu, and he was re-employed in Qianyang County, Baoji, so he moved to Baoji with his father at the age of nine; his mother was a qualified housewife, kind and industrious. Regarding her parents, in her own words, it was a "too orthodox, too traditional" family. What can be done and what cannot be done, outside the Father and the Mother, everything has its own inner order, just as Mencius taught more than two thousand years ago.
The father of the traditional family has brought the girl a problem that is obedient, it is difficult to lose her temper, and in the final analysis, it is difficult to have the freedom of the heart. To this end, Zhang Tianying chose to "run away" for the first time - borrowing tuition to learn painting and facing the world in his own way.
Exploring the unknown world, in a way of adventure and game, at the age of fourteen, she was bold to come to the county town with no relatives in the years when traffic was extremely unobstructed, more than forty kilometers away from home. For a time in the hometown led to a lot of criticism, a lot of appreciation, this taste who knows, for this reason...
02
A woman who is difficult to describe with only soft animal words, she has been good at writing and xitu since childhood, self-reliant, and has cultivated an artistic style from an early age, and has been admitted to the county key middle school - Hongshan Middle School with her stubborn and intelligent talent and diligent practice.
After graduation, he was admitted to Baoji Normal School with excellent results, but he was impatient but was replaced by others. Looking back and entering the Xianyang Energy College, when the students in the same subject have successively enrolled in the school, Zhang Tianying has not seen the admission notice for a long time. Or did the notification go in the wrong place? Or is it the name Ofsan Mountain?
A series of questions struck like a cannonball, for a time, the white eyes of the neighbors, the irony of the township party, the questioning of well-meaning people, and the long and doubtful eyes, good hearts, bad hearts, watching the hilarity, all the concerns... It's like a heart-scraper that people can't stand it. It's really taught that people can't stand it!
Recalling that she ran alone from the county seat to the strange big city of Xianyang for the examination, and had nowhere to stay at night, the kind head nurse let her curl up in the corridor of the ward for the night. She also thought that she had done well in the test, but who knew that so far there had been no results. Can't help but fall from the sky!
She ran to the corn heap in Yamane and cried a lot, and went home to the bed to write a long seven-page letter, which she sent to the Academic Affairs Section of the Energy College to inquire about the situation. This matter later became a topic of conversation after the school's teachers and students, and the name Zhang Tianying was also written down by the students. Zhang Tianying felt the taste of life. She's a little cute.
"Many people think that I look weak, but after my friends understand, they think that I am decisive, emotional, and willing to pay for the people around me." People's life is very short, and when you really meet the right person, you will cherish it desperately. She said with a little embarrassment.
For example, in the year of learning to drive, there were many paintings on the wall of the driving school. It just so happened that during that time, she was obsessed with paintings, often wandering back and forth in the park painting stalls, seeing the painter sketching and painting, and she couldn't bear to leave. After learning the car, she asked whose painting on the wall belonged, and it happened that the painting was for the old man who signed up for the fee. The old man's surname was Han, and when she left, she asked Teacher Han for a picture book.
At that time, I thought about seeing if I could sell Teacher Han's paintings, because she liked Teacher Han's paintings very much, although it was only the attention in a glimpse. Back in Shenzhen, he sent the painting to the local qq group, and vigorously recommended it to his friends, and it quickly generated sales. This was a very motivating thing for her, and she felt that she could devote more enthusiasm and energy to it.
The first thing I did when I came back from Shenzhen was to renovate the house in the high-tech zone, with a complete set of furniture and pen, ink and paper. And gave all four keys to The Family to Teacher Han as his studio, allowing him to paint with peace of mind. Teacher Han was shocked, thinking that he had met a liar.
But facts speak louder than words, and everyone trusts and supports each other along the way. Through the landing of one thing after another, it also makes the partners feel like a family.
In 2012, she asked Teacher Han to create a series of themed Chinese paintings with the theme of "Feitian", and immediately held a press conference in the high-tech zone, and mobilized relatives and friends to join the battle, which was very successful. "I'm really happy to be able to do this, and I finally did it." Zhang Tianying said.
But a few people know the twists and turns in this activity, the occurrence of unexpected situations on the scene. Fortunately, it ended successfully.
Of course, as a professional gallery manager, art dealer, independent curator, and many painters, there are many interesting stories. But the direction of the story is all pointed to - this is a reliable girl.
"Do you think women's independence refers to women's rights?" I asked.
"Women's independence is definitely not domineering or self-righteous, but to shape excellent personal morality, quality of life, and use knowledge to pursue their ideals." Zhang Tianying replied.
She knows very well what she wants, knows what she can bring her satisfaction, and is easily undisturbed by the outside world. But she was not born to know, she learned and groped from experience.
I asked Zhang Tianying: How should a woman live her life well?
Zhang Tianying seriously thought about answering: do what he likes to do and get the understanding and support of his family; interact with his favorite, hierarchical, and thoughtful friends, so that he can constantly improve to challenge himself and life.

Zhang Tianying is actually a very good talkative woman, she does not want to say boring gossip.
But when she talks about art, culture, life, especially when running a gallery, she is very radiant, and her words are sometimes accompanied by gestures and special expressions. It shows her clear understanding and thorough insight into business, when she shows more feminine beauty, which is in stark contrast to her static.
At this point in the article, I would like to ask, what kind of life state does Zhang Tianying yearn for?
"My state of life: everything should not be too deliberate, life has something to ask for and some do not ask for, I want to get it, I am secretly happy; I can't ask for it, I am not sad. If it can cultivate Buddha-nature one day, if it can attain buddhahood without joy, and if it gains without sorrow, it is only afraid that it will be old and will be killed. Bitterness follows fate, gains and losses are random, cultivation is carried out with the attitude of entering the world, and harvest is harvested with the attitude of birth.
I don't like to talk about right and wrong, and I don't like to let my mind sway with the wind and stay on external factors. I pay more attention to the deepest part of my heart, that silence, that indisputable persistence and state of mind, I like everything that is real, natural, like mountains and water, always want to integrate myself with nature, be a person who has forgotten himself. ”
Zhuangzi said: "Do not condemn right and wrong, but live with the world", which can be witnessed in this "female Zhuangzi".
I asked, "What kind of woman do you think you think has seen the world?"
She was changing tea, and her movements were light.
Zhang Tianying changed his posture and continued: "Women who have seen the world are informal, do not talk about the faults of others, dress appropriately and do not follow the flow, slightly modified and never carved." It seems very ordinary, her "seeing the world" is the noble atmosphere emitted by the inner temperament, which means that the ideological realm has reached a certain level, and the work is not allowed to be eyebrowed, generous, and there is absolutely no right or wrong. The truth, goodness and beauty are hidden inside, from the inside to the outside, from the heart of the warmth.
Be able to be true to yourself, know what is important and what is truly suitable for you. Women want wisdom, both need to think independently, but can not be stubborn, and listen to the clear, plus a little stubbornness and persistence. Thought is condensed in experience, breaking the empiricism, not superstitious, the courage to break through oneself; when necessary, we must have the courage to review. ”
She can achieve something in this industry because she is sincere and calm.
Zhang Tianying revealed that she does not have much desire at present. The people and things that we have been exposed to in the past, and the so-called success, are still dominating the inner impulses, everything is moving towards normal and orderly, the baths and bubbles are receding, and it is necessary to be quiet, rethink, learn, and discover works and people that have been tested by history. Face life with sincerity, sincerity and integrity.
Doing things is in the process, enjoying the process, and what about success? How about defeat! What is better than having ambition, nothing can not be spineless!
Perhaps, each stage of life has its own focus.
"Instead of expecting, I encounter surprises." Zhang Tianying said. In terms of life cognition, Zhang Tianying thinks that she is enlightened, as for talent, she thinks that her own talent is lacking, and her diligence is insufficient, and there is inertia, sometimes she indulges in the loss of time, sometimes a person paints for a long time, but also feels dazed; deeply, the depth of the Chinese context! The smallness of the individual.
"I'm very normal, but I enjoy the ease of life and the fun of thinking." She said.
There is truth in this, to discern what has been forgotten. Look at what is in the context, and what is in the line. When it is known, it is known.
Interview afterword
Zhang Tianying's eyes were calm, but in his bones he looked normal and calm. All exude a pure and pure beauty.
The family is happy, the daughter is well-behaved, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the same as that of the mother, which makes people envious.
She felt that all that life had given her was a gift. Accept it.
Her calmness, at the moment, seemed extravagant. She, half a life experience, calm as yesterday, her face is not fading, and her spirit is full. Just live the little life you love.
Perhaps, the casual nature of the heart, the simple life, and the independence of the spirit are the weapons against time. She was now really in the middle of no more.
The place of brilliant home is blandness. She said that the more prosaic life is, the more down-to-earth it is.
