Feng Dazhong's Gongbi Tiger is made of broken pen filaments, that flexible and fluffy plush and beautiful markings, caused by whitening, without applying a little white powder, wonderful from nature. Therefore, the whole frame can be made to show a unique thick taste, high interest and elegant feeling in the majestic.
The first thing that made Dazhong famous in the Liaoning painting world was Gongbihu's "Finding the Moon", a work that participated in the Liaoning Provincial Art Exhibition on the 30th anniversary of the founding of New China, and once it was exhibited, it lit up the eyes of connoisseurs and audiences. On the screen, a round of non-stained moon hanging in the sky, the green and quiet moonlight sprinkled to the shore of the mountain forest, the moon in the lake is rose yellow, the king of a beast strolls along the lake, it seems to be comfortable and relaxed, it looks at the moon in the lake with interest, as if asking: "How did the moon fall into the water?" "A new artistic conception, a new technique, a new face of tiger painting."

The success of "Finding the Moon" has greatly encouraged Dazhong. He vaguely felt that the creation of the "foreign" master of the ancient master should be "each with its own spiritual seedlings." Art is the fruit of the wisdom of the artist in the process of contemplation, contemplation, depth and penetration of all things in nature. The works of great artists often contain a spirit of upward beauty that is common to human beings in a timeless space. This spirit can lead human beings from triviality, intolerance, and humility to goodness, tolerance, nobility, and self-respect. In today's era of continuous extinction of wild species, Dazhong regards the "objectified" tiger as a friend of human beings, uses human beauty to grasp the perception of natural beauty, and for the first time in the history of Chinese painting, personifies the tiger. Da Zhong's tiger, Wei Zhong is not without losing benevolence, fierce with peace, courage with gentleness, he tells people through the symbols of original art, the tiger is like a person, there are seven emotions and six desires, but also the joy of heaven. His award-winning "First Snow" in the International Youth Art Exhibition writes a pair of mountain kings with two emotions, squatting and standing, looking at the mountains and fields of heaven and earth. The motherly tranquility and dignity of the snow, the white purity of the snow, and the thickness of the snow make this pair of tigers have the briskness of the skin and bone itch, and also make the viewer fade in this "First Snow". His "Love" (also known as "Mother and Son"), which was selected for the International Year of Peace art exhibition organized by the United Nations, is the only work in this art exhibition that expresses peace with a fierce stride. The picture is set against the hazy scene of "grass color looking close but nothing", and depicts a pair of young tiger lovers who have fallen in love. But when he saw the two tigers contradicting each other, the male tiger's hot eyes were passionate, and the female tiger's eyes were slightly closed, as if ashamed and disgusted. The state of embracing each other, loving and loving, is gentle and timeless. The inscription on the painting is cloudy: "The beast is still like this, how is it in the world?" "In a frame of tiger boy and tiger mother picture, the large and medium forehead title "Cradle", this "cradle" is clearly woven with the silk thread of maternal love, reading this painting, it is easy to make people return to childhood, listen to the mother's rainbow and smile wrapped in the ding, into the warm and sweet dream. Dazhong painting the water tiger, the picture name "out of the bath", reminiscent of "waiter to support the delicate and weak" Yang Guifei; the big chinese painting of the lone tiger sleeping, the inscription has "I want to sleep and go" sentence, making people easily think of Lu Zhishen, who is a righteous hero...

Great art must have great tuna. Da Zhong is also good at painting landscapes, bamboo stones, and has created the "ice crack wrinkle method", or splashing ink, or splashing color, or leaving blank, or rubbing or dotting, or wrinkle or dyeing, so that the picture is majestic and wild, green and broad, far-reaching and powerful, close-up looking qualitative, by no means can be compared to those who play with carving insects and small skills.

That frame of the unique machine, vigorous and novel Northeast Tiger attracted the viewer like a block. The masters and dignitaries of the calligraphy and painting industry are all strangled by it. The old man Zhao Puchu praised: "There are fierce tigers in the painting world, and the big middle can be called the king." In 1990, Dazhong went to Hong Kong to hold a painting exhibition, and Nobel Prize winner Mr. Yang Zhenning flew from the other side of the ocean to Xiangjiang, praised Dazhong's tiger paintings as "unprecedented and future", and invited Dazhong to go to the United States to give lectures at the university where he taught...

Big art must be difficult. Dazhong Gongbihu has a unique painting language, and his exquisite brushwork is like silk embroidery. It is easy to draw finely with brush strokes, but it is difficult to learn. Dazhong Gongbi draws easily, revealing the painter's profound education in ease, looking thin but not greasy, working but not craftsmanship. Da Zhong's ability to control the overall picture is extremely strong, and he draws a momentum that is difficult to have in gong pen painting. Many art workers, who do not have the "silk hair" of the big middle gongbi tiger, are puzzled, and even want to lift the scroll of the painting to see from behind how the fluffy tiger hair grows from the paper. Dazhong Gongbi Tiger is made of broken pen filaments, that flexible and fluffy plush and beautiful markings, caused by whitening, without applying a little white powder, wonderful from nature. Therefore, the whole frame can be made to show a unique thick taste, high interest and elegant feeling in the majestic.

Nine out of fifty in middle age, it is the peak of creation. His art is like that of the Japanese side, knowing and appreciating more and more, and his reputation is growing day by day. But he was as humble as yesterday, tireless, and diligent as ever. He pretended to paint the "Fuhu Caotang" and was nicknamed "The Master of the Fuhu Caotang". However, in this gentle and elegant painting, Fu Hu is not strong, nor is he lazy at all, but is loved by all creatures. A dwarf of the soul will not spread the rain of artistic love to the world, and the love that is always in the great, its artistic tree will surely bear greater fruits... (Li Cunbao, famous writer, former vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, former vice president of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts)
