Dear teachers: Good morning!
I am glad to hear that today's "Bright Sun And The Morning Sun - Guo Lihong Chinese Painting Works Collection New Book Release Symposium" was held here, I am inconvenient to go due to foot injury, I would like to congratulate Ms. Guo Lihong and express my respect and gratitude to all the teachers!
Ms. Guo Lihong is the president of the Shaoxing Women Painters Association, the backbone of shaoxing minjian, and the president of Shaoxing minjian calligraphy and painting institute. I have served as an association for many years. The honorary position of the Calligraphy and Painting Institute and the position of the Civil Construction Institute, she is more familiar and appreciated in contact. The impression is that she is warm and sincere, communicates quickly and neatly, studies hard and diligently, and is practical and tenacious.
Paint like a person. Guo Lihong's paintings are smooth and sharp, combining dashing and legal, real and freehand, full of vitality of life, embodying the elegance of art, and worthy of being one of the few leaders among shaoxing female painters. In the process of painting, Ms. Guo Lihong was fortunate to meet a good teacher, whether when studying systematically at the China Academy of Fine Arts or in the practice of serving in local units, she always remembered the help of good teachers and friends, studied diligently and tirelessly, and gradually consolidated her profound painting skills and skills. Her learning ethics, learning talent, and learning attitude are worthy of recognition, and will also be an inexhaustible source of her continuous improvement.
This is the first time that Ms. Guo Lihong has published a collection of fine works of Chinese painting, and we look forward to her new fine works.
Thank you teachers!

Preface
Luo Xianyue
Shaoxing, a place of heavenly capital where people are brilliant, has produced talents and bred Xu Wei, Wang Mian, Chen Hongshou, Ren Bonian and other calligraphers and painters.
Guo Lihong grew up on this fertile land, she is simple and gentle, and her personality is warm. In the initial stage of painting, she was deeply influenced by Lou Guoming and Lu Jianqun, although she entered the painting later, but Lou Guoming and Lu Jianqun let her enter the formal way of learning painting as soon as she came into contact with painting, avoiding many detours. Soon, she entered the Study System of China Academy of Art to create flower and bird paintings, and was taught by Fan Xiaowen, Xu Jiachang, Wu Jingchu, Han Lu and other famous teachers, a good learning environment coupled with Guo Lihong's diligence and studiousness, she began to show talent in flower and bird painting. After graduation, she returned to Shaoxing and began to create a large number of freehand flower and bird paintings. The flowers and trees in her pen are fresh and colorful, and the freehand brushstrokes intertwine the moisture of spring, the luxuriantness of summer, the harvest of autumn, and the warmth of winter. She is a talented artist, good at depicting the colorful and lively world of flowers and birds, and her flowers, birds, insects and fish are portrayed in detail, vivid and colorful, and full of interest.
Guo Lihong's flower and bird paintings focus on freehand, she is influenced by the fertile land of Shaoxing culture, focusing on the freehand spirit of Chinese culture, adhering to the quality requirements of painting, emphasizing the "writing" of painting. Guo Lihong pays more attention to color, and in her works, "passionate colors" and "unrestrained lines" are coordinated to form her unique creative style. It can be seen in her flower and bird painting works that she strives to write her artistic pursuits with a more free brush and create flower and bird paintings with Chinese style.
I believe that this is the first time that Guo Lihong has published a collection of works, and more than 100 paintings of flowers and birds will meet with readers. We have reason to believe that this is of extraordinary significance to Guo Lihong, which is not only the result of Guo Lihong's academic persistence in one stage, but also a new starting point for her to continue to move forward in the field of flower and bird painting.
We look forward to Guo Lihong's new works and new achievements.

Speech at the "Yanying Chaoxia - Symposium on the Release of New Books in the Collection of Chinese Paintings"
Guo Lihong
Distinguished leaders, distinguished comrades and friends,
Good morning, everyone!
April in the human world is exhausted, and the spring light of the land reflects the green vines. First of all, with great joy and gratitude, I would like to express my deep respect and heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time out of their busy schedule to come to my "Chinese Painting Collection New Book Release Symposium"!
Ancients Cloud: Fifty Know the Mandate of Heaven. What is "Knowing the Destiny?" "My understanding is that before fifty, a person should redouble his efforts and hope to succeed in his studies; and at the age of fifty, he must know that he no longer pursues results in doing things, and he has taken a very light view of personal honor and disgrace. I'm exactly fifty years old this year. Today, the reason why I chose this special time node of "Knowing the Destiny of Heaven" and holding the "Symposium on the Release of New Books in the Portfolio" here is not to show what to show and shine, but to make a preliminary summary of my own path of learning art over the years. The publication of this album is also a gift to myself! At the same time, I also hope that through the publication of this album, more people will know me and understand my works. I began to learn to paint at the age of 35, along the way, not only experienced many hardships, ups and downs and confusion, but also enjoyed the joy and happiness brought to me by artistic creation, I want to share this happiness with everyone. For this, I am very grateful to the friends who helped me and funded me in the process of publishing the album. I would like to give special thanks to the teachers who wrote reviews for my album, especially to my teacher, Mr. Wu Guannan, who also wrote the preface to my album when he was unwell. Here, let me say sincerely: thank you! At the same time, I would also like to thank all the leaders, experts, and friends in the field of calligraphy and painting who attended the press conference of the works today.
Over the years, thanks to the care and support of leaders at all levels, I have devoted myself to the exploration and thinking of flower and bird painting, combined my aesthetic judgment of nature on objects with the spirit of freehand, and pursued the integration of objectives, mood and artistic conception. In the future life, I will take art as a companion, with metaphysical kindness, to embrace all things, to be closer to nature, and to eliminate troubles. Express your subjective imagery from a new perspective, pursue the true meaning of art, communicate with the world with an indifferent heart, and depict the spirituality of all things with an ethereal and clear heart. Feel the origin of art in the fusion of "things" and "me".
Art is endless, and the pursuit is non-stop. Finally, I kindly ask you to give me more valuable comments and suggestions on my works, and I also ask you to give me the same care, love and care in my artistic path as always. Next, I want to take this symposium as an opportunity to always respect and respect art, pursue art with my own life's work and sweat, and realize my self-worth with my best efforts.
Thank you!
