Preface
She is a good girl in the eyes of teachers and parents, but she is also the painter of 60 "modern spring palace pictures", her name is Chen Weiling, born in a patriarchal family in Chaoshan, for "sex" from childhood to adulthood, her parents just asked her not to touch, but never said the reason.
The ambiguity of her parents made Chen Weiling curious about everything about "sex", until the voice in her heart made Chen Weiling unwilling to escape, and the first one rushed to "Yunxiao Works", drawing "sexual desire" from a male perspective, some people criticized Chen Weiling's private life for being chaotic, but Chen Weiling said that it was only because of the lack of sex education since childhood.
What has Chen Weiling experienced since she was a child? What do the "sexual" works express?
Lack of sex education
As early as the 7th century, there were Japanese painters in the form of graffiti to draw the "spring palace picture", in the general impression of the people, the ancient people were conservative, but one by one the spring palace picture will be deliberately enlarged reproductive organs, it seems that it is not conservative.
In a house in Guangzhou, the 36-square-meter space is filled with paintings of all sizes, which are Chen Weiling's secret base, these paintings are her painstaking efforts for so many years, Chen Weiling is petite and sweet-looking, but it is not difficult to see the wildness in her heart from the paintings.
The paintings are larger than the other, with women holding a hill between their legs and leaving a stream on the mountain, Little Red Riding Hood, who brings food to her grandmother and becomes a sexy girl, and a little girl who wants to pick fruit from a tree, only to find a man and a woman cheating on the tree.
These have Chen Weiling painting from a male perspective, and there are also paintings from a female perspective, the mountain spring stream implicitly indicates that women are popular for the first time, and the little girl who picks the fruit is just like Chen Weiling's reflection when she was a child, only knowing that she can't touch "sex" but doesn't know what it is.
Chinese feel that every time sex is raised, they feel dirty and unclean, but if Chinese are really so shy and introverted, how did they give birth to 1.4 billion people?
Sexual desire is something that people are born with, but they don't want to face it head-on, and parents are afraid of teaching bad children, so they simply don't want to have contact with boys alone.
And Chen Weiling went to the spring palace map to develop, also because of the bad experience when he was a child, Chen Weiling was born in 1990, but when his father learned that he was born a girl, he chose to divorce his wife without saying anything, for no reason, just because he was a girl.
In this way, Chen Weiling and her mother were sent to her grandmother's house, but fortunately, her grandmother and aunt were very good to Chen Weiling, and they may all be women with the same disease, they felt that the newborn child was innocent, and they felt very pitiful to be abandoned like this.
From Chen Weiling to college for so many years, the female elders in the family told her to stay away from boys, saying that she should keep the bottom line after falling in love, but avoided talking about sex-related knowledge.
The developing ignorant girl wants to know why, but there is no way to know, the parents don't say, the school's physiology and hygiene class doesn't say, she can always hear some boys in the school joking, but the reason is unknown, so ignorant, Chen Weiling was admitted to the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.
The moment she stepped into the campus, she had many suitors, Chen Weiling, who had never been in love since she was a child, was very curious about romance, she clearly remembered that her parents told her when she was a child that she could not have any intimate behavior with men, and Chen Weiling began to think.
What if you really have a relationship after falling in love, and you are really pregnant? She was puzzled, and felt that it was precisely because of the constraints of this traditional concept in China.
Many children like her go to college and don't understand anything, and if you don't educate you properly when you are a child, it is likely to be counterproductive when you grow up.
The deep meaning of the painting
Chen Weiling is an art student, following the guidance of professional teachers, and just started to paint in a regular manner, but the words about her grandmother and mother often surround Chen Weiling's ears, so even if she is in love, Chen Weiling and her other half are mouth-to-mouth to the greatest extent, and thinking about sex has always been around her mind.
Chen Weiling said that as a college student, as a woman, but I don't know where to stuff the hygiene slip when I come to my aunt, if in the future, all girls have to be educated like this, then how should society progress?
Will girls who have been abused by men become more and more afraid to speak up? In a video interview with her on January 14, 2023, we can also better enter her inner world.
At that time, the world will become a patriarchal society, everything men say is right, and women are shackled by the so-called chastity, so Chen Weiling has a bold idea to draw her understanding of sex on paper.
This is her first series of "Desire", when Chen Weiling turned her painting of Little Red Riding Hood into a sexy girl as a work and handed it to the teacher, the teacher directly rejected it, and even gave a negative to Chen Weiling, but it didn't take long for the teacher to praise Chen Weiling's work, so what did Chen Weiling paint in the middle?
"The Seven of Desire" a pair of big hands are directly embedded in the mountain, and the gurgling water flows down from the top of the mountain, Chen Weiling expresses that when men and women have a relationship, they will make both parties intoxicated, and flowing water is love.
"Awakening Lao Bai" A well-dressed prince and a princess lying naked in the quilt directly painted the real things that happened at that time, and some men squatted at the door of the bar just to wait for those drunk girls to carry them back to their residences and have sex.
In this work, the man and the woman represent Snow White and the prince respectively, if in real life, Snow White is drunk, will the prince kiss her softly as in a fairy tale?
"Carousel Man" women ride on men, men become women's objects of pleasure, at that time, staying in the hotel was worried that it was not women but men who had cameras, Chen Weiling's works swapped roles, and men became playthings.
Basically, Chen Weiling is very bold in every painting, she just wants to let more ignorant girls understand what sex is and how to protect themselves correctly, so that when Chen Weiling's mother saw the good girl she had been cultivating paint the paintings here, not only did she not get angry, but silently praised it.
It seems that her younger daughter knows how to educate people more correctly, although the style of painting is explicit, but the deep meaning of each painting is worth pondering, Chen Weiling can always show what she wants to show through her own brush.
As a post-90s girl, Chen Weiling's name is well-known to many people, and online reviews are mixed, some people say that she must have a very chaotic private life to portray sexual problems so finely, and curse her, and the good fortune will disappear with the sexual series.
In the face of these bad remarks, Chen Weiling didn't respond, she just wanted to draw the voice in her heart, is there anything wrong? In the final analysis, all this is the lack of sex education from an early age.
