Text/Feng Haitao Painting/Fang Guangyou (Fang Quanyou)
To collect paintings and calligraphy, there must be three musts. First, they must like it, second, they must have cultural attributes that have policy and market tendencies, and third, they must have practical applications. As long as your collection has these three attributes, your collection is successful. If your collection only accounts for one or two of them, it's not a failed collection. Because, as long as it occupies the first item, even if the collected works have no other value, they are happy with themselves, and the consumption is also worth it. And, if so, the second and third are also worth the money. Of course, the premise is that it is based on the value of the money you pay.

If you collect paintings and calligraphy in order to make a profit, then the first one must be removed from your collection selection. Because, liking will be the biggest disadvantage that affects your correct judgment. The second item should be used as a key selection criterion. Because, as long as you grasp the cultural attributes that the policy and the market tend towards, your collection, even if it is not a work of art, will be rewarded. Of course, it has to be thrown in this wind direction. Because, as soon as the policy and market tendencies change, those works with no artistic value that have been hyped up will plummet. However, as long as you grasp the policy and the market, and choose real artworks, no matter how the wind changes, the value of your collection will remain.

Regarding the policy orientation and market orientation of calligraphy and painting, the innocence of Chinese culture is what it advocates. And this orientation is also a return to cultural self-confidence, and it can be said that this orientation will be the right direction no matter what time and era. Therefore, in the collection of paintings and calligraphy, it is necessary to select works among those calligraphers and painters who insist on cultural self-confidence. The first element of cultural attributes is the uniqueness of Chinese calligraphy and painting, the materialization and meaningfulness of objects. If the work has no brush and ink and is an expression of Western painting, then its collection value is not great. Because, the works that are full of ideas and concepts of Western painting are not Chinese paintings. Even if this kind of painter gradually absorbs and digests the essence of Western painting, this can only be regarded as a work of experimentation, and cannot appear as a work of art.
The Red-clothed Arhat and the Rat Fang Guangyou's work
Due to the erosion of Western culture, the purity of Chinese painting has been almost lost, so the return of culture and the original source of Chinese painting must be gradually expanded and extended from the place where the culture is most intact. The culture that has always accompanied us is the zodiac culture and religious culture. Therefore, whether it is the spread of culture or the creation of art, if they want to enter the hearts of the people, they need to go deeper step by step around the zodiac culture and religious culture. Painter Fang Guangyou (Fang Quanyou) is a disseminator who adheres to national culture, and his paintings of red-clothed arhats and zodiac signs, as well as his series of landscape paintings in red and red clothes, are all creations with the core of maintaining and promoting Chinese culture. It has persevered in the chaotic era of the calligraphy and painting circle until now, and finally ushered in victory, and because of the persistence of calligraphers and painters like Mr. Xiangfang, our cultural return can be carried out smoothly.
