In the past few days, with the wonderful performance of the freestyle ski jumping competition, athletes from all over the world have praised the Shougang ski jump. This venue not only has first-class facilities, but also creates a strong Chinese style, including more than 100 pairs of couplets and blessing characters written by Song Jianhua, a guest art teacher from Beijing Jingyuan School, to send Chinese blessings to Olympic athletes and staff from all over the world.
In late January this year, Song Jianhua was invited to the Shougang Ski Jumping Platform to create calligraphy and paintings for domestic and foreign VIPs and staff here. Song Shiyuan, director of the venue, expects Chinese athletes to win the first gold medal on the Shougang Ski Jump, and hopes that Teacher Song can create some works that express good wishes. After hearing this, Song Jianhua inscribed the word "Xiongfeng" on the spot, and the work was later framed and hung in the Reception Hall of the Olympic Family.
When Song Jianhua was creating calligraphy and painting on the Shougang Ski Jump, it was on the eve of the venue entering the closed-loop management of the event, and the staff who entered the closed-loop management could not only not be reunited with their families during the Spring Festival, but also had to be closed and isolated for a long time after the game. Understanding these situations, Song Jianhua thought a little, and wrote down the three big characters of "great auspiciousness" on the red wall calendar with a pen, wishing the new year auspicious and all the best. This "big auspicious" hangs in the command center of the big jumping platform, accompanying the venue staff every tense and busy day.
Song Jianhua, a native of Shijingshan, nearly 60 years old, has been engaged in creation for nearly 50 years since he learned calligraphy and painting since childhood. In 2015, Song Jianhua and the Winter Olympics first met, and he participated in the 20.22-meter Chinese painting scroll "Beijing-Hebei Winter Music Map" inscribed on the "Trek" article to contribute to Beijing's successful bid for the Winter Olympic Games. Song Jianhua is located in the studio of Beijing Jingyuan School, a large long table is filled with pen and ink paper, and the rice paper of the table is soaked with ink incense, witnessing his more than ten years of calligraphy and painting creation here.
"If you come here before the Spring Festival, there is no ground to get off, but all the blessing characters and couplets waiting to be dried." In order to send New Year greetings to the staff of the big jump, Song Jianhua created more than 100 pairs of couplets and blessing characters in a short period of time, such as "Shougang Ski Jump, Let's Go to the Future Together", "Winter Olympic Athletes Gather, Shijingshan People Welcome", etc., and sent to the hands of the Big Jump staff through the Shijingshan District Literary Association.
"Shougang Ski JumpIng Stadium Operation Team and Calligraphy Teacher Song Jianhua, I am so happy to receive your blessings, I have smiled and closed my mouth, I like this word too much." I heard that this is traditional Chinese culture, which represents blessings and hopes, for which I would like to express my gratitude and wish you peace and happiness. Aureline Gunhill, the venue's secondary shaping expert, received a "safe and smooth" blessing, and he specially expressed his gratitude to the staff.
"I bless the Winter Olympics with my calligraphy and painting works, and even more I bless the city, as a native of Shijingshan, I have witnessed the beautiful changes that have taken place in the city to seize the opportunity of the Winter Olympics." Song Jianhua said, "As the Olympic motto says, the development of Shijingshan District in recent years is becoming 'faster, higher, stronger and more united', and the Winter Olympics will definitely make the city a better place." ”
