"To create calligraphy works on mulberry paper, the author needs to have solid skills." Xi Shiluo, honorary chairman of the Xinjiang Calligraphers Association, said that compared with rice paper, the rough paper surface and obvious fibers of mulberry paper have a certain impact on the lines and ink rhymes of calligraphy works. Mulberry paper for modern calligraphy creation needs to continuously improve and improve the quality of paper, and calligraphers need to grope and grasp its form of expression.
Wang Junbing, dean of the Institute of Calligraphy and Painting of Xinjiang University and vice president of the Xinjiang Academy of Chinese Painting, believes that mastering the unique characteristics of mulberry paper, skillfully using water, ink and color, and repeated superposition will produce a different artistic effect. For example, in traditional Chinese paintings, the performance of snow-capped mountains is mostly left blank, while on mulberry paper, white pigments are used to outline the blend, which is very thick and magnificent.
Yarikun Hazi, vice chairman of the Xinjiang Artists Association, said that paper has great significance in the history of the development of human civilization, and mulberry paper production is a part of China's papermaking industry and a cultural inheritance of "you have me, I have you". The unique color of mulberry paper and the texture of its own fibers will make the art works have a different expressiveness.
"The traditional mulberry paper production process is no longer suitable for the highly industrialized modern society. It is hoped that all sectors of society will work together to explore the development direction and brand system of mulberry paper adapted to modern society. Yariquin said.
Li Zhitian, executive director of the Xinjiang Academy of Chinese Painting, has studied chinese paintings on mulberry paper, and he believes that chinese paintings created on mulberry paper and rice paper have their own charm. Mulberry paper has outstanding characteristics, that is, full use of water, the expression of vivid ink rhyme; but also can boldly set colors, painting colorful heavy colors; brushwork, freehand, heavy color on mulberry paper can show a wonderful effect.
"The pale yellow color of mulberry paper and the texture of coarse fiber remind me of the Topography of Xinjiang's Gobi, desert, wind-eroded canyons and other terrains." Chu Xiaoli, dean of the Art College of Xinjiang Education College, said that artists should explore the application of mulberry paper in the creation of calligraphy and painting and derivative products according to the unique characteristics and beauty of mulberry paper.
The buds of the branches and flowers first appear, the birds soar into the sky, and the young men gallop on horseback. Li Dong, director of the Art Committee of the Xinjiang Academy of Painting, created "You Chun Tu" on mulberry paper is impressive. "Uneven thickness, uneven corners, and even holes, this is the appearance of the original mulberry paper, and because the whole process is handmade, the output is small and the cost is high." On the basis of retaining the characteristic beauty of mulberry paper itself, we can develop various forms of mulberry paper, such as for book packaging, cultural and creative products, etc. He thinks.
"Printmaking pays attention to a simple and clumsy effect, which has a commonality with the original mulberry paper." Lu Jianli, director of the Printmaking Art Committee of the Xinjiang Artists Association, is considering intervening in printmaking on mulberry paper.
Ran Shijun, a tutor at the Training Center of the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, is very fond of mulberry paper: "Mulberry paper is a kind of paper with obvious personality, it is like a wild horse that has lost its reins, but if the artist tames it, the artwork will show a special aesthetic effect." ”
"Mulberry paper is a culture that we need to pass on and use together." Yang Yanhua, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Xinjiang Normal University, introduced, "When I took students to copy the Guizi murals, I found that mulberry paper was very suitable for the art creation of mural themes. Only by studying and applying in parallel can we better inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and integrate intangible cultural heritage into the modern and beautiful life. ”
Wei Baoshan, executive vice president and secretary general of the Xinjiang Academy of Chinese Painting, has been committed to the inheritance, promotion and utilization of mulberry paper, he said: "We have held four consecutive 'Chinese paintings on mulberry paper' fine art works exhibition, explored and summarized many experiences of mulberry paper painting, and this year will also hold a series of exhibitions of 'Peasant Painting on Mulberry Paper' and 'Children's Painting on Mulberry Paper'.
