Zhao Peilian's work "Flourishing Flowers"
At the time of the spring equinox, the author went to Zhao Peilian's studio to interview, only to see that the four walls of the shelves were neatly filled with various art classic books, and the desk was stacked with her own calligraphy works and the famous Fa Ti she was reading. I couldn't help but be in awe. During the conversation, Teacher Zhao handed me a copy of "The Art of Painting of Zhao Peilian", which had been completed, and carefully browsed and admired it, and had a deep understanding of the material, artistic and situational conditions expressed in the beautiful artistic language of his works.
The first is to have a clear heart.
Zhao Peilian's work "Writing Bamboo Ren Thick and Light"
Zhao Peilian's work "Hui Feng and Chang"
When we trace the source of the Chinese artistic spirit, we suddenly find that it fits the scholar Xu Fuguan's theory: "The typical unity of benevolence and music manifested by Confucius is the unity of morality and art in the land of extremes, which can be used as a yardstick for eternity." "The typical character shown by Zhuangzi is completely a pure artistic spirit, and the main thing is to get acquainted with painting." ("The Spirit of Chinese Art") Since then, I realized that Zhao Peilian's painting art not only inherits Confucius's ideas of "benevolence" and "music", but also contains the "virtual" and "quiet" spirit of Zhuangzi. Creatively integrate the two ideas into the creation of Chinese painting. Because of her chest and character, the context of Chinese painting incorporates more of the consciousness of the life of "full beauty" (Mencius), and this concept of consciousness is "reflection of reflection". The so-called "Heavenly Harmony" is the pure and noble "Heart Fast" of the creator of the "Taoist Nature". Therefore, Zhao Peilian's paintings are not the same as the times, not the same as the ancients, not the same as the present, she returned to her natural life to the natural life of foreign objects, in order to create the image of "the unity of things and me" of the heart and life image.
The second is the literary quality of the heart with a beautiful run.

In Zhao Peilian's view, the quiet and beautiful artistic practice reflects the personality ideas of the achievements of the old and Zhuang philosophies, and its life situation is actually the life of art. For example, there is a cold atmosphere in the paintings of the Bada Shanren, showing a cold and relaxed artistic life; Wu Changshuo's paintings have a strong atmosphere and show his majestic artistic life; Chen Zizhuang's paintings have an air of arrogance, showing his lonely and arrogant artistic life; we can see a strong gentle and gentle inner wisdom atmosphere in Zhao Peilian's paintings, showing her broad literary heart. Scattered and not far from the law of the ancestors, elegant and sweeping away the atmosphere of dust. Her paintings are a clear portrait of the soul, navigating between birth and entry. In Peilian Studio, we discussed the heart of today's creation, and deeply felt that her lotus heart was clear and close at hand, the context was euphemistic, and the pen was quiet. She is fond of classical, with a beautiful and indifferent atmosphere in her chest, and her works will meet the consciousness of art "if intentional or unintentional", interpreting the transcendent realm in the humanistic spirit of Chinese painting with her own character, chest and mysterious cultivation.
Then there is the intention of having a high and unusual attitude.
Tang Dynasty Zhang Yanyuan creatively proposed that "the art of calligraphy and painting must be made of spirit", and at the same time pointed out that "the intention to save the pen first to paint the intention is the best", Zhao Peilian's decades of artistic trek, always following the ancient sage's most reasonable sayings, cultivated a noble and excellent character, the most affectionate feelings. It is a kind of round thinking construction, which means to store the emotions, emotions, and sentiments of the pen first, all of which are full of pure yue and yue, and create a beautiful song. Just in response to the Song people's saying, "Since the character is already high, the temperament must be high." What Zhao Peilian's paintings pursue is the organic unity of social beauty and natural beauty, the organic unity of external beauty and inner beauty, and the organic unity of form beauty and content beauty; what is expressed is the spiritual realm of national prosperity, national rejuvenation, social harmony, and people living and working in peace and content. Adhere to the upward and good, with the people as the center of the creative artistic orientation, so that its works reach the aesthetic artistic conception of "in one room, like in the deep mountains and valleys, the old wood cold spring, the sound of the wind, let people have the idea of independence in the world". She is good at learning the subtlety of the boneless painting method from the ancient masters, and in her creation, she does not regard the roughness as simple, does not regard the sparseness as dilution, does not regard the roughness and slackness as the so-called innovation, pays attention to the teacher's ancient rather than the mud, inherits the tradition and is not limited to the tradition, and abandons and boldly innovates, giving the work a simple atmosphere, a fresh, natural and pleasing appearance and temperament.
