preface
Fogang, located in the central part of Guangdong, has the reputation of "Buddha Lying Hill, Guangdong Central Gallery", and the order of "choking Guangshao, the key to the three states".
Today's Fogang, with thriving industry, livable ecology and civilized rural customs, is a "typical county for the development of mountainous areas" and a county with strong economic strength in the east, west and north of Guangdong, and has successfully created the "Guangdong Province All-for-One Tourism Demonstration Zone", which has been included in the "National Urban-Rural Integration Development Pilot Zone", "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Tourism Ecological Cooperation Pilot Zone", "National County New Urbanization Construction Demonstration County" and "National E-commerce into Rural Comprehensive Demonstration County".
In order to help Fogang implement the "High-quality Development Project of 100 Counties, Thousands of Towns and Villages" and help the revitalization of rural culture with the power of art, the "Great Beauty of Fogang - Chinese Artists Fogang Sketching Tour" hosted by Yangcheng Evening News Group and Fogang County "Millions of Projects" Headquarters, and undertaken by Yangcheng Evening News Art Research Institute, Fogang County "Millions of Projects" Headquarters Office, and Fogang County Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports Bureau, was held in Fogang from May 11 to 18.
"Great Beauty Fogang", where is the beauty? Through 8 days of collection and more than 1 month of meticulous creation, the artists won 100 works of calligraphy and painting, presenting the beauty of Fogang's ecology, the abundance of industry, the beauty of humanity, and the harmony of rural construction, which can be described as wonderful.
Mr. Chen Jinzhang, the 96-year-old head of the third generation of the Lingnan School, and Mr. Liu Sifen, a famous writer and artist, respectively wrote the inscription of "The Great Beauty of Fogang". Mr. Liu Sifen, who is eighty years old, also accompanied the team to collect style, and originally planned to stay for one day, but as a result, he was retained by the beautiful scenery of Fogang and swam for three days. The radiant Mr. Liu Sifen also sang happily at the party, singing the song "Imperial Flower", which was still unfinished, and insisted on "Love in Late Autumn", which attracted a round of applause.
"There is spiritual light under Guanyin Mountain, why is this place called Fogang? The influence of the mountain is all Buddha, and the long-staying picture scroll is a fairy town. Mr. Liu Guoyu, an artist over eighty years old, tiptoed with a cane, and followed the "Great Beauty Fogang" Wind Picking Group Range Rover Guanyin Mountain, feeling nostalgic and entertaining, waving Han inscription poems, and writing such a good sentence for Guanyin Mountain.
Luo Qi, director of the Guangzhou Art Museum, and Dr. Huang Fuchang spent the whole day sketching in a quiet mountain forest at the foot of Guanyin Mountain. Luo Qi sighed: Although they can only squeeze out a day of wind collection time, they sketch in the green mountains and forests, forget all their worries, and a sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

Artist's impressions
Fogang has good natural ecological protection, green mountains and clear waters, profound cultural heritage, and is very picturesque. Because it was the first time I came to Fogang, I felt fresh and had the urge to express myself with a brush. Under the arrangement of local leaders, I went to Tangtang Ancient Village, Shuitou Town, Guanyin Mountain and other scenic spots to collect style, and I was very interested, and I never got tired of it. In a few days, I painted nearly 20 sketches, because the size is too small, not suitable for the size of this exhibition, this exhibition requires more than Dou Fang, so re-based on the sketch photos for secondary creation processing, completed 4 exhibition works. In terms of expression, I use traditional landscape brushes to "hook, slash, rub, dot, and dye", focusing on strengthening "dyeing", pursuing novelty in composition, and distancing myself from traditional landscape composition, so as to express the new look of the beautiful countryside in the new era.
