It is a new style of Sino-Tibetan painting created by Mr. Han Shuli, and has formed a unique painting style that integrates the aesthetic interests of Han and Tibet and the West. It can be called the exemplary work of "Han's black painting". The famous critic Qi Jianqiu praised: "Han Shuli's works are very different from many genres in ancient and modern times, with another peak and another contribution. There is the weather of Greater Chinese culture. ”

The eagle symbolizes Tibet, and can also symbolize the industrious, intelligent, virtuous Chinese people. The stone pillar draws the feeling of bas-relief with botanical medicine. The combination of form and spirit is breathtaking. In the snowy plateau eagle, it gives the reverie and light of "humanity". Depicting the unique eagle of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the detail of the eagle's eye is focused on, showing the glowing eyes to symbolize the majestic courage of the eagle.

Touching the mysterious and mysterious realm of Lao Tzu's philosophy and the wonderful realm of the gate of all wonders is refreshing. Dependent arising is derived from the snowy realm of meditation, and all of them are inspired by the Buddha's mind. Han Shuli's painting has a trilogy of harmonic performances: reading interesting books of ancient and modern times, thinking about the things of the world at the moment, and drawing beautiful paintings in his heart. "Han's black paintings, there are poems in the paintings, there is a great beauty of form and connotation, and the works are full of rhythm and musical beauty. With burnt ink, force through the back of the paper. Let go of the pen and ink, the ink color is dripping, throw away; solid modeling ability, want to stop, can be collected.
