Zhang Tao, deputy director of gabala dance theater and dancer of the troupe, said: "The works of Mr. Han Meilin made me feel that the diversity and variety of different media contain the charm of traditional Chinese culture, and these works originated from Mr. Han Meilin's continuous 'cultivation', which made me think of the ancient Chinese book "I Ching", 'the saint stands in the image with all his intentions, and sets up a gua to enjoy the pseudo-'. Imagery and imagery constitute the two sides of the symbol of a work of art, and in this discipline of Zhou Yi, there is a principle called three easy, and the three easys are changeable, simple and not easy. In The works of Teacher Han Meilin, "change" is reflected in the fact that the same thing can change a lot of painting methods and expression methods, ever-changing, infinite imagination; 'simple' is reflected in the fact that these things originate from the rich relics of the Chinese land, seemingly complex and profound, but can find the essence of them, presented in the simplest and most ingenious way, highlighting the Chinese culture 'essence', 'qi', 'god'; 'not easy' is the spirit that can make things in vientiane things unchanged, that is, the spirit of cattle cultivation, it is precisely this kind of ' The spirit of the cow makes everything in the world glow, and can manifest and influence the world. ”
Mr. Han Meilin's artwork has rich and varied shapes, with soft and emotional curves. Mr. Han Meilin said: "My art is related to music and dance." World ballet master John Neumer once said when visiting the Han Meilin Art Museum in Beijing: "Mr. Meilin's art, whether it is painting or calligraphy, can actually be seen as a beautiful melody and a beautiful dance. In the face of these works full of oriental charm, I gained a new inspiration, and when I went back, I would try to integrate Han Meilin's rhythmic and rhythmic calligraphy and painting into the ballet dance. ”

Art has eternal beauty and is continuously developed in continuous exchange. Mr. Han Meilin is still constantly carrying out cross-border exchanges and seeking changes in exchanges with other art disciplines; for decades, the "Han Meilin Art Caravan" has toured the world uninterruptedly, and every year it will go deep into the grassroots and folk style to get inspiration from national art; trace the "roots" of Chinese culture, draw nutrients from ancient art, and constantly pursue the authenticity of art.
As one of the important platforms for art exchange in Yinchuan City, Helan Mountain Rock Painting Yinchuan Han Meilin Art Museum has always adhered to the function of art exchange since its opening. The "International Art Creation Camp Salon" once surged here, and the "Sino-Korean Artists PEN Club" once stirred academically here. The art museum also provides a platform for the majority of enthusiasts and young artists to display their talents, and is also a public welfare experience base for young art lovers.
