At the end of 2023, the Jilin painters living in Beijing have one of the happiest things of the whole year, that is, four students from Jiayuguan came to the Beijing National Academy of Painting to participate in the exhibition, which is not only their personal honor, but also adds glory to their hometown provinces and cities, and fulfills the promise made to them five months ago. Imazhi said, "A single flower is not spring, thousands of purples and thousands of red spring are full of spring, and I am happy to see that you have achievements than my own awards!" Yes, who doesn't want their students to be blue, let alone people like Imayuki who never admit defeat and are always on the road.

Jinzhi is a person with responsibility and pursuit. As a literati, she wrote poems and won the "Jilin Province Cross-Century Young Poet" award, and also published a collection of essays "Pen Scattered Beads", which exchanged her love for her hometown and family for auspicious light and jade scattered pearls; as a painter, she was extraordinary, and her pen was full of mountains and rivers and thousands of weather, and she stubbornly overcame obstacles in the painting world, fought her way out of the encirclement, and stood out. Now she is a member of the Chinese Artists Association, an assistant teacher of Zhu Ling, a tutor of the Advanced Research Class of Calligraphy and Painting of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, Zhu Ling's Landscape Painting Research Studio of Rongbaozhai Painting Institute, and a painter of the Painting and Calligraphy Institute of the Chinese Writers Association.
Today, he is a native of Huadian, Jilin. Jincheng Huadian is a beautiful place, deep in the birch is her hometown, where the green mountains and green waters nourish her initial poetic and picturesque feelings, and give her endless inspiration and inspiration for landscape painting. I have known each other for more than ten years, we are both ugly cows, she is ten years older than me, we are very good friends in the Jilin cultural circle, I have always regarded her as a sister, she has worked in the agency for many years, she is well versed in the world and not sophisticated, sincere and kind and there is no lack of heroic temperament. She has always been writing with her left hand and painting with her right hand, especially after becoming a disciple of the famous painter Mr. Guan Jian, her painting skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

After retiring, without the fetters of work, in order to pursue art and realize the ideal of life, seven years ago she went to Beijing Songzhuang alone to integrate into the exhibition army, according to her predetermined direction, seven works in two years were selected for the National Art Exhibition, two works won the qualification award, not only joined the Chinese Artists Association, but also became a famous landscape painter. I still remember helping her carry three oversized suitcases onto the train after sending her to Beijing for the first time for a drink, and I can't imagine how she would take them into the poetic distance alone. She walked onto the train with the faint autumn frost on her temples without hesitation, and at that moment, my heart rose with respect and tragedy......
Coming to Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, I chose Zhu Ling's special seminar on landscape painting brush and ink conversion. This is a torturous but reborn nirvana, starting from the basics, getting the essence of the teacher and working diligently to touch the bypass. As the class leader of the advanced research class, she matched Zhu Ling's teaching team to hold a "six-person exhibition" in Jilin, a northern river city.

When she knew that she could also exhibit in the same frame with her mentors, she was happy to also want to create two paintings, once the passion burst out, it was a thousand miles, and her eight works such as "Spring Returns to the Earth Purple Air Rise" created in a short period of time were exhibited in Jilin together with the mentor's works and won high praise from the industry. The hard work paid off, and his final work "Mountain Dwelling Doesn't Know the Year" also stood out among nearly 200 students of the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts' Advanced Research Class of Calligraphy and Painting, won the special prize and was collected by the Training Center of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts.
After the completion of the advanced research class, he began to live in No. 61 Courtyard of Songzhuang Factory Road, Yueyang Town, and Huaqiang Art District, Tongzhou, to study in the national exhibition class and sprint to the national art exhibition, and also served as a teaching assistant for Zhu Ling's tutor. I visited her in the small town of Yueyang in Songzhuang, Beijing, and I was shocked to see that the walls of her living room and workshop, which are less than 40 square meters long, are covered with drawings more than two meters high.

Imayuki can be called a painting addict, and all she thinks and does every day is painting or painting-related things. In her words: "I am stepping on the two wheels of today and yesterday, rushing on the journey to the pinnacle of art, and spending ten years to pursue the process of pursuing others for a lifetime." Every day, in addition to eating, drinking, buying vegetables and cooking, he devotes himself to "planting grass", thinking about eating, walking, and even painting in his dreams. A few times I woke up in the middle of the night, I immediately recorded this divine guidance...... "Seven teachers have taught and helped her, and each teacher has learned Chinese and Western knowledge and has profound traditional cultural skills. There are hills and ravines in the chest, and there is naturally a spirit in the pen. Impressionism is the most accepted genre of Western painting in China.
Pointillism belongs to the "New Impressionism", which is a school of painting using the dot painting method, which originated in France and developed from the principle of light and color of Impressionism. Imayuki integrates Western painting elements into her works, especially colorful, and 9 of her 11 points of credit for the National Exhibition are pointillism, and two of her works are eligible for membership. Today's pen has not only a dream castle, but also the forest and snow fields of his hometown, as well as distant mountains and ravines. For art, imagination is the most important, the poet's thinking makes her works vivid, winning with meaning, and looking at her paintings has a sense of time and space and transcendence from Zen.

Sketching is well versed in the essence of landscape painting, and nature is the source of art for all things. In the past few years, she has traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers with heavy painting tools on her back. This kind of experience is a trip for ordinary people, and it is an arduous trek for a painter. "The wonders and wonders of the world are very strange, often in the far away, and the rare in man. Therefore, those who are not aspiring cannot reach it. For today, this sentence can not only describe the hard work of collecting style, but also explain her unremitting pursuit of art.
She has a pious and humble heart to dialogue with nature, blends with mountains, rivers, forests and springs, and absorbs endless nutrients in nature. Art comes from life, "search all the peaks to make drafts", "people do not live up to the green mountains, the green mountains will not live up to the people", her "Xiangruijia Mountain", "Listening to the sound of the piano in the depths of the white clouds", "Dream of the Eight Beauty", "Dream back to the Hao River", "Thousand Thousand Flowing Hui", "Spring on the Ridges" and many other masterpieces are all masterpieces from the collection. After being exhibited at the Macao Art Museum and the National Art Museum of China, "Dreaming Back to Haojiang" and "Eight Beauties of Dreams" were not only eligible for membership but also collected by the museum.

It is an honor for a painter to exhibit his favorite work at the National Art Museum of China, which is no less than a musician on the Golden Hall of Vienna. Today's works have not only been exhibited in the National Culture Palace, Yanhuang Art Museum, Art Museum of the National Academy of Painting, Museum of Modern Art of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, National Art Museum of China, and Bayi Art Museum in Beijing, but also in Macao and the Korean Art Museum. In the near future, her "Thick Soil Love" will be exhibited in the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and then go abroad to Japan and South Korea.
Wang Wei once said: "All landscape paintings are intended to be brushed first." In Chinese landscape painting, brushwork and artistic conception are the two basic points. Brush and ink is the core concept of Chinese painting techniques, and artistic conception is the core concept of Chinese landscape painting aesthetics. Without pen and ink, there is no soul, and without artistic conception, there is no loftiness. The expression of the interest and realm of brush and ink is the essence of the traditional aesthetics of Chinese painting and the spirit of Chinese art. For pen and ink, spiritual charm comes first.

She strives to give full play to the performance of ink and wash through the brushes and paper, so that the ink color, surface line, and brushstrokes produce interactive momentum in the picture, so that the whole space has a unique artistic conception, and the picture constitutes an independent and complete system. This system has not only superficial forms, rhythms, colors, brushstrokes, textures, but also internal philosophical reflections.
"At first glance, the landscape is beautiful, and up close it is poetry. "Chinese painting pays attention to style, charm, artistic conception, subtlety, and ethereal, and a high level of cultural accomplishment, especially literary accomplishment, is the premise of it. "Painters, poems. "Whether it is the ancient landscape pavilions or the dreamy landscape, the thinking and expression behind the painting are the most important things today. Chen Shi once said in his article "The Value of Literati Painting": The painting of literati is the first character, the second learning, the third talent, and the fourth thought.

Good Chinese landscape painting is self-conscious and subjective, and is definitely not copying and realism. A painting without a mind has no soul. The artistic conception of today's paintings is the result of her poet's imagination and broad-mindedness, and the poetic landscape and the wisdom of life are reflected in her works. In the composition, blank space, and lines, you can see her strong personal style and wonderful imagination. The work is majestic and proud, but the ingenuity is unique and subtle. Therefore, some people commented that today's culture is "thick cultural background, and learning is inclusive".
Yi Hongbin, the former chairman of the Jilin Provincial Artists Association, said to Jinzhi: "Cheer for your perseverance, diligence and success!" Dai Chengyou, a famous representative painter of the academic school in Jilin Province, commented on her: "Today, she is the best female landscape painter in Jilin Province, and she is also a painter of sufficient level among female painters in the country." Zhang Guanyu, a well-known writer, painter, and cultural scholar, couldn't help but say when he saw her paintings: Isn't this the modern version of Huang Binhong? At the exhibition of the All-China Association of Women Painters a few days ago, Wang Zhong, a well-known art critic, praised his work "The Bright Moon Rises from the Mountain" and said: "Your works are very good! There are not many good landscape painters, and there are even fewer female landscape paintings that can come out......." Speaking of this, he also extended a thumbs up.

Wu Weishan, vice chairman of the China Artists Association and director of the National Art Museum of China, commented: "The landscape paintings selected for the National Exhibition today have strong characteristics of the times, and are the most distinctive and representative innovative works of contemporary times, which are the most distinctive and representative innovative works of contemporary times. ”
A successful person is definitely not a person who is alone, but sharing and dedication, and he is a warm-hearted person in today's life, and belongs to the kind of person who has ten dollars left over to take a taxi to a friend and walk home by himself. She has been dedicating her paintings to friends for the public good. More importantly, she has been helping students who have dreams like her.

I used to take in students with her, and her eldest disciple, Shirazuru, was also my student in literature. Now the white crane has carved out a world in Shandong with painting. Later, she took in several apprentices, and I experienced them all firsthand. During the May Day in Jilin City in 2023, a group of friends and I witnessed her fourth apprenticeship ceremony, this time with friends from Yanbian, and even a septuagenarian who is much older than her but dedicated to apprenticeship.
In 2022, in order to help more people realize their dreams of participating in the exhibition, and in order to allow painters and art lovers in remote areas to receive national exhibition-level training without leaving their hometowns, Jinzhi started the activity of today's dot color fine education at the beginning of the year, and at the end of May, the tutor of the Beijing Songzhuang National Exhibition class started in Jiayuguan Station, Gansu. In Jiayuguan, Jinzhi not only preached and taught to solve doubts, but also ate, lived and worked with her students, and established a deep relationship, at that time her health was very bad, altitude sickness was serious, lumbar spine surgery just completed 100 days, and she was still limping when she walked.

But these difficulties did not affect her teaching at all, and she achieved great results. Now, her four students from Jiayuguan have just been selected for the 3rd "Wind and Rain" National Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang and the National Female Painters Shandong Linyi Exhibition. By the time the article was published, three Jiayuguan students had applied for the Provincial Artists Association and the Chinese Women Painters Association. She helped them to show on a bigger stage, and the results continued.
During this period, many works were selected for the National Character Art Exhibition, and the students' works were also selected for the National Exhibition, Shandong, Gansu and other provincial exhibitions, 11 works were selected for the National Women Painters Exhibition, and 4 works were selected for the National Exhibition of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang. In the first year after the epidemic, the harvest was abundant, but no one knew that she was lonely and decisive in painting and repainting alone in the hut during that special period, without companions and work.
Linjiang Qiliqin chess ink,
On the top of the wild mountain, I shepherd the clouds.
Freehand solution often preaches,
The lonely peak is not admired.
《听泉》138cmx69cm
This is a self-exhortation poem of Jinzhi, Linjiang is her nickname for the residence and studio by the Songhua River, this poem writes her stubbornness and arrogance, but this seems to have a certain distance from her in life, it is the humility and sincerity in life and the artistic self-sacrifice who constitutes the real Jinzhi. I've seen photos of Sister Ima's youth, and even the mediocrity of the town's daily routine and cooking with a baby can't hide her beauty and otherworldliness.
From the beautiful writer who writes poetry to today's elegant, dignified and helpful bosom sister, she has not stopped working hard and struggling for a moment. The happiness of success is always short-lived for her, and the higher artistic pursuit and breakthrough will make her always painful and happy, and bless her to climb to a higher peak of art and appreciate a more charming scenery of life.
