"I see how feminine Aoyama is, and I should be like this when Aoyama sees me"
Entering Yang Dongping's studio hall, what comes into view is a green landscape painting called "Blessed State Three Mountains Offering Rui", in which the auspicious clouds on the Gushan Mountains are swirling, the flowing water is like a textile of white silk floating down, the Zhenhai Tower sits in the center, and the morning rises in the east, a scene of purple qi coming from the east.
A piece of paper green, a stroke of jiangshan, Yang Dongping's green landscape all come from the nourishment and purification of him by the Minshan Mountains and Minshui. The work "The Rising Sun Rises in the East and Shines the Land" selected as the 2022 New Year greeting card for the Cpc Central Committee's inter-party exchanges with political parties around the world is a vivid portrayal of fujian's natural scenery of "eight mountains, one water and one field". Not only that, he has won the highest prize in the "National Exhibition of Chinese Paintings", "Minshan Love", "Minshan Minshui", "Sunrise Oriental" created by the Zhongnanhai Chiefs Conference Room in 2014, and "Spring Drunken Wuyi" collected by the National Art Museum of China in 2010, all of which are based on the Wuyishan Mountains in Fujian Province.

"The high place of Wuyi is Penglai, and the ling buds are taken to plant themselves", Zhu Xi once wrote a book and preached on wuyi mountain in the spirit of the people, and advocated taoism and lecture, and Wuyi mountain has been related to famous masters since ancient times.
Yang Dongping's fate with Wuyishan began in the 1990s. At that time, Yang Dongping was studying at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and often accompanied Shao Dazhen and Xi Jingzhi to Tiananmen Square on weekends, and Professor Shao Dazhen once suggested to him that he try to use green landscape paintings to express the scenery of the four seasons of the Eight Fujian Lands. The beautiful smoke, the misty clouds, the rolling peaks, and the strange Wuyi landscape are fascinating. Since Yang Dongping first came to Wuyi Mountain in 1998, the natural interest of the landscape has made him intoxicated, and in the following 20 years, Yang Dongping has gone to Wuyi Mountain many times to collect wind, and every time he comes, he is full of interest and returns to the house.
There are hills in the heart, and there are waves in the pen. For Yang Dongping, only the feelings experienced by himself can burst out of passion. In the creation, in order to make the texture of the mountain stone close to the natural original appearance and the color layer of the picture more distinct, Yang Dongping usually uses the "iron line drawing" technique to outline the outline, and then repeatedly color and render, and it is not surprising that it is dyed more than ten times. In 2010, "Spring Color Drunken Wuyi", which was collected by the National Art Museum of China, is a painting born after years of sketching, creating, re-sketching and re-creating.

The elegance of green landscape painting is not in the complexity, but in the ethereal; not in the gorgeous, but in the beauty; not in the golden splendor, but in the ancient meaning. How to use traditional green and green colors to express the grand theme of the times? Yang Dongping has spent more than 20 years of exploration and practice to find the answer.
"Green for the text, prosperous for the quality", is Exactly Yang Dongping's artistic proposition, that is, using classical forms to describe the nature and feelings of the moment, not only absorbing traditional nutrients, but also expanding modern meanings, so that the turquoise color can play its advantages, so that its own bones and qi are integrated through the blood, and the magnificent prosperity between the inches is displayed.
The difficulty of green landscapes lies not only in the skillful technique, but also in the rarity of pigments. The turquoise color on ancient paintings can pass through thousands of years without fading, because most of the turquoise landscape paintings use the precious lapis lazuli minerals shiqing, stone green, etc. as pigments; and golden pigments, also known as lapis lazuli, are based on stone blue and stone green as the main color, and then stained with mud gold. In Yang Dongping's eyes, ready-made stone green and stone green pigments can not yet restore the natural beauty well, often need to grind the pigment hundreds of times, in order to make the pigment texture, delicacy of the subtle change, and then rendered, in order to highlight the natural nature of the green landscape and jade gold.
The charm of the green landscape comes from the inheritance of the ancient and the present and the endless innovation, in its rich and brilliant background, pinning on the idea of self-sufficiency and the ideal of vigorous rise, from Yang Dongping's "Rising Sun East, Shining On the Earth", "Spring Drunken Wuyi", "Sunrise oriental" and other green landscape paintings, we can also taste the beauty of the prosperity and harmony of the current era.
"Hold the Yunhe River to wash the sky blue, Minshan Minshui Huaxin"
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that "the people's yearning for a better life is our goal." "Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, for Fujian, Fu culture has been continuously activated in the context of the new development concept, "Minshan Minshui" is "Fushan Fushui" Concept is increasingly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and bloomed with vigorous vitality, striving to paint a magnificent picture of the people's beautiful life.
For thousands of years, in Fujian, a hot land named after the word "Fu", a "Fu" character has carried the profound emotional vision of the people of Fujian for generations. "Fujian has a unique Cultural Heritage of Fu and has formed a Fu culture with rich regional characteristics. For example, the place names are Fuzhou, Fu'an, Fuqing, Fuding, and Taining, Jianning, Ningde, Yong'an, Yongtai, Changle, etc. are the ardent expectations of the people of Bamin for 'happiness'. Yang Dongping said.
"Zhifu", "Cherishing Blessings", "Accumulating Blessings" and "Benefiting" are the main connotations of Fu culture, and calligraphy, painting, stone carvings, sculptures and ceramics are mostly used as carriers in cultural expressions. Fu culture is not only contained in Fujian's excellent natural resources, water and soil context, one side of the water and soil, benefiting the people of the other side, Fu culture has become a vivid footnote to the self-confidence of the Chinese national culture.
To do a good job of "blessing" in the new era is to seek the well-being of future generations. Just as Yang Dongping outlined the green mountains and green waters with "green landscapes", between the strokes of the pen, it is not only Zhong Lingyuxiu's "mountain and sea gallery", but also a "blessed place on earth" with a new style and righteousness.
"As a landscape painter in Fujian, you should be very happy." Yang Dongping said that the geographical advantages of Fujian's "eight mountains, one water and one field" provide painters with rich creative materials, and the main colors of "green" and "green" in green landscape paintings are also in line with the new development concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", and every painter who pursues should go into nature to understand the beauty and magnificence of nature, so that the works of art will glow with unique characteristics of the times.
"The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley", and constantly promoting the expression and dissemination of Fu culture is the only way to strengthen cultural self-confidence and condense the spirit of "New Five Blessings". The "Hard Work Blessing" that loves to fight and dare to win, the "HaiSi Fu" that dares to be the first, the "Beyond Blessing" that dares to be the first, the "Ecological Blessing" that is green mountains and green waters, and the "Great Love Blessing" that is willing to be charitable and charitable are the "roots" and "souls" of the Fujian people in the eight Fujian provinces, and the rich nourishment for Fujian's high-quality development today.
The long-standing and timeless Fu culture has injected the source of living water into the social construction of the new era, and promoted the cultural undertakings in the new era to be promising and stable and far-reaching. Yang Dongping said that in the future, he will devote more efforts to the research and exploration of Chinese green landscape painting, and make greater contributions to promoting the international influence of green landscape painting and the inheritance and innovation of Fu culture.
