Chen Danqing said: Saying that some people have done statistics and that there are more than half a million "painters" in the whole country is a very terrible thing. In the past 20 years alone, the expansion of college enrollment and the various high-priced "training" from top to bottom in the country should be greater than this number, and they all dare to call themselves "painters". So, I haven't cared about the "industry" for years. First of all, I am liberated from myself: I am not a painter, nor a critic, nor a professor, but I am just me, a practitioner, if I see that everything is not the same, I see it as it is!

Knowing Wei Linlin, it was this summer that I first felt that he was a very down-to-earth person, honest and dedicated because of his steadfastness. Then I saw his paintings, which were also very honest and very lifelike, and then I felt that he was a generalist again, and the figures, landscapes, flowers and birds could afford it! Especially calligraphy, Wei Bei, Lishu skills are still good, steady and thick and do not lose the heart of the experience and flexibility, the words between the lines of the reflection of clean and upright, it can be seen that his path is very correct, I often tell students: "Ancient Chinese masters are all-rounders, I do not approve of Chinese painting in different disciplines, what landscapes, characters, flowers and birds, calligraphy, seal carving, brushwork, freehand!" A painter should be able to afford all these things, in order to have a sufficient atmosphere, the true essence of Chinese culture is the unity of heaven and man. How a painting was shattered! As a research is acceptable, if the creation is wrong, the result has been obvious, that is, now painting "landscape" will not "point scene", painting "figures" will not "set", a large traditional painting system has been artificially crippled, throughout history, a Chinese painter not only for the whole subject of painting can not be abandoned, but also should read more books, students of the Academy of Fine Arts often ask me, what is the relationship between painting and reading? I said: What do you paint without reading? This is the biggest problem we face right now. Of course, Wei Linlin can take care of these aspects, which is the reason why I pay attention to and look after him.

One of the valuable points in Wei Linlin's paintings and words is his calmness and writing! Not impetuous, not smeared, with books into the painting, calligraphy and painting contrast, this point hopes to be adhered to. Of course, he is in the age of prosperity, the road ahead is still very broad, there are many directions and possibilities, as the curator of the Ningxian Cultural Center, it is also a party Toshihiko, I hope that what he has learned, with his cultivation to influence and drive a clean and healthy cultural atmosphere, cultivate and cultivate some new people who can really read and understand Chinese painting and calligraphy, benefit the villagers, and open up later.

I once told Wei Linlin: "Art is a kind of practice, which has nothing to do with fame and fortune, success is because of virtue, and has nothing to do with fame." Others can't understand this, Wei Linlin he understands, life is originally a practice, the road is long, may Wei Linlin's art path be solid and flourish!
