Li Jixiang, a native of Nayong County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province, was born in 1958 and has loved the art of calligraphy and painting since childhood. Graduating from junior high school was just in time for "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" He responded to the call of the central government to become a zhiqing. In that frenzied era of mass production for the whole people, there was almost no soil for the development of art, but Li Jixiang never gave up his hobby and practiced every time after work. Without a teacher, he took nature as a teacher, and the subtleties of his paintings were not difficult to taste the shadow of life and the subtle observation of the scenery of the mountain village; there was no ancient post to come, so he continued to practice in pursuit of the overall structure and beauty of calligraphy, and repeatedly pondered and improved in time.
After the reform and opening up, the resumption of the college entrance examination and the return of young people to the city. With the improvement of people's material level and the pursuit of culture and aesthetics, the art of calligraphy and painting has also mushroomed everywhere. The improvement of the general environment is undoubtedly exciting and good news for Li Jixiang, who is thirsty for knowledge, who used to practice hard and self-enlightenment, and now he can finally go out to exchange and learn. He searched for ancient books and pasted names, and copied them repeatedly like treasures, and sought out famous teachers for advice to improve himself.
The study of calligraphy and painting is a process of posting and posting, and Li Jixiang is to study on his own first, form a certain calligraphy and painting habits and models, and then learn to copy its difficulty can be imagined. Plum blossom fragrance from the bitter cold, kung fu does not live up to the hard heart, decades as a day he Linchi did not study hard, and finally achieved some achievements.
