Spring and summer come, everything grows freely, and everywhere you look is a warm breath of life. Today, I will say goodbye to the spring apricot blossoms and spring rain, and turn around to meet the leafy branches of summer. Guo Lei, a citizen of Zibo, specially created the sand painting "Li Xia".
"The countdown to the beijing Winter Olympics curtain ceremony used the creative elements of the traditional Chinese 24 solar terms in a creative way, highlighting the unique charm of Chinese culture." Guo Lei said, "At that time, I wanted to use sand painting dynamic video to show a different 'Chinese romance'. ”
Guo Lei is currently the vice president of the Shandong Sand Painting Art Committee, has been engaged in sand painting art for more than ten years, and is currently committed to the study of children's sand painting methods and textbooks. She also has a status as a volunteer lecturer at the Zibo Green Ribbon Public Welfare Development Center. Since 2017, he has been actively involved in public welfare activities with Green Ribbon.
Lixia is the seventh of the twenty-four solar terms and the first solar term of summer. The "summer" of Lixia means "big", which means that the plants sown in the spring have grown upright. People are accustomed to regard Lixia as an important festival when the temperature rises significantly, the heat is coming, the thunderstorm is increasing, and the crops enter the peak season.
Guo Lei introduced that the entire sand painting work is composed of four pictures.
The first picture shows that in the summer season, everything flourishes. Ancient: "On the day of Mengxia, the heavens and the earth began to intersect, and all things were shown together." "Summer harvest crops enter the late stage of growth, the year is basically fixed, so the agricultural proverb has the saying of "standing summer and looking at summer". The management of spring-sown crops has also entered a busy season.
The second picture depicts a light rain, a small lotus turn, a jade basin slim hand to clear the spring, and a qiong bead broken but round.
The third picture expresses that during the summer season, the yang qi in nature gradually grows and the yin qi gradually weakens, and compared with the human organs, the liver qi gradually weakens and the heart qi gradually strengthens. Therefore, summer health should be based on "nourishing the heart".
The fourth picture explains that people should consciously inherit the wealth of civilization of the twenty-four solar terms, respect natural time, respect the rhythm of life, and enjoy the colorful natural time life.
"The work was conceived for two days, and it took seven hours to record it." Guo Lei told reporters that she likes early summer, this season fades the erratic willfulness of spring, there is no irritability of summer heat, eyes are full of vitality, full of translucency, just like describing women as gentle and delicate, as beautiful as early summer.
