Aunt Kong Lingshu, Hongmei newspaper spring is here, and Mei Xiangzi is here.

Jing Wong (Mei Xiangzi), a native of Guilin, Guangxi, is a famous Chinese painting artist. His name is Xiangyuanzhai, and he studied under Mr. Wang Chengxi. He loved painting and calligraphy since childhood, and began to learn Chinese painting at the age of 13. He is good at plum blossom, peony and landscape. Presented to the Olympic Games in 2008, and created a long scroll of Chinese painting "Auspicious Olympic Map" with a length of120m. 20 18 On the Hong Kong Spring Auction, the six-foot plum blossom work "Iron Bone Makes Spring" was sold for 890,000 yuan. He is currently vice president of Diaoyutai Painting and Calligraphy Institute, director of China Art Collection Society and director of China Buddhist Society. His works were collected by the Great Hall of the People, the Palace Museum, the China Art Museum and the auditorium of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and were invited by Dubai, Korea, Japan, the United States, Singapore, Bahrain and other countries to hold art exhibitions and academic exchange activities. His works have also been presented to important foreign guests by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for many times.

Mei has been used in China for more than 3000 years. But in the early days, people's understanding of plum blossom mainly stayed in the application of plum blossom. For example, Biography of Historical Records and Huo Zhi said: "To make a soup, you will only salt plum." It means that to make delicious soup, you must put salt and vinegar made of plums. The "Plum" mentioned in The Book of Songs, Zhao Nan Cumeiyou, also refers to Plum. However, there is a description of "there are flowers in the mountains and there are plums in the mountains" in The Book of Songs in Xiaoya in April, and the poet calls plum blossoms "beautiful flowers", which reflects his appreciation attitude towards plum blossoms.

Mr. Mei Xiangzi's plum blossom works have both master style and his own personality language. His thick plum blossom roots are vigorous and magnificent, and they are driven away by twists and turns. He is good at painting flowers and birds, especially plum blossoms. Inherited the techniques of painting plum blossoms since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and found a new way, learning from nature, with rich colors and rich connotations. In Jing Wong's works, plum blossom belongs to the new era. It should be full and colorful, and it should convey a more frustrated and brave spirit of struggle. He put red plum, yellow plum, green plum, Bai Mei and purple plum in different geographical environments and endowed them with different spirits and characteristics. These works are full of layout, extremely exaggerated plum blossom image, rich and clumsy colored ink, rough and simple and exciting brushwork, which will inevitably enhance the spiritual value of art.

Mei Xiangzi's solid calligraphy skills, on the basis of traditional techniques, strive to integrate perspective, light and shade, space, texture and other expressions into the interest of pen and ink, in order to pursue artistic effects with both form and spirit, forming his distinctive and vivid artistic style, which is elegant and popular. His works are unique and full of the flavor of the times, giving people a vibrant aesthetic enjoyment. When creating, Mei Xiangzi pays great attention to the rigor of the picture, and takes every work seriously, whether it is a big painting hanging in the auditorium hall or a delicate little painting, he will seriously deal with every detail. In the art of plum painting, he constantly adjusted his artistic ideas, which not only improved the composition and brushwork, but also deeply explored the cultural connotation, which is a cohesive expression of "ancient and modern".

People have endowed plum blossom with extremely rich spiritual symbols and cultural connotations, forming an anthropomorphic aesthetic tendency and an ideal sustenance of perfectionism. Such as: indomitable spirit of cold resistance; Proud and unyielding demeanor after vicissitudes of life; The elegant quality of beauty that does not strive for spring makes plum blossom have a wide aesthetic group. He regards learning plum painting as a lifelong pursuit. He can describe Mei Xiangzi's persistence in painting plums with his heart, which is a life ideal and feelings permeated with China's cultural spirit, and comes from the painter's spiritual pursuit. In Mei Xiangzi's plum blossom freehand brushwork, he has a free spiritual pursuit and a profound soul experience.

A good painting can not only make people feel happy, but also enrich people's spirit. Mei Xiangzi's spirit of "carrying Tao" and "freehand brushwork" are combined into one. It is precisely because of this spirit of "freehand brushwork" and "carrying Tao" that Mei Hua's creation has gained great ideological capacity and artistic tension, enabling him to transcend from the level of contemporary life and create works of art with individual language and cultural implications.
