These cultural resources have been passed down from generation to generation, and on the basis of inheriting the experience of their ancestors, they have burst out with new vitality and are constantly gaining new lives. Wang Dunhua, Li Keran, and Hua Tuo are all modern Chinese painting masters and have created many works. Excellent painting. The protagonist of our story today is also a master of painting, he is Yang Yan.
He studied under famous masters and has superb painting skills
As a Chinese painter, Yang Yan has held 11 personal exhibitions at home and abroad so far, and published a total of 12 personal painting collections. He has won more than ten awards and has made great contributions to the current field of Chinese painting. There are two main reasons why Yang Yan can achieve these achievements:
The first is the influence of family environment. The first painting by Yang Yan was "Illustration of the Mustard Seed Garden". Although it was just a copy, Yang Yan was only 6 years old at the time. At such a young age, he copied this painting under the guidance of his uncle. Yang Yan's family members are all people who love culture and have made achievements in the cultural field. Perhaps it was under the subtle influence of his family members that little Yang Yan showed such talent in painting.
The second is to learn from famous masters. Seeing that Yang Yan had such a great talent in painting at a young age, his family members were very surprised. Since then, Yang Yan's family members have deliberately guided Yang Yan's learning in painting. In order to improve Yang Yan's painting skills, Yang Yan visited many painting masters with the help of his family. Wang Dunhua, Li Keran, Hua Tuo and other famous and prestigious masters in the painting world have all taught Yang Yan. Fortunately, the expectations of his family have not been disappointed. In the process of studying with the masters, Yang Yan's painting ability and skills have also improved rapidly.
With his extraordinary talent in painting and the painting techniques he learned from famous masters, Yang Yan was able to hold his own personal exhibition at a very young age. In 1990, when the "Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese Painting" was compiled, Yang Yan's "Raining Boat" was included; and in the book "Collection of Emerging Works of Contemporary Chinese Painting Masters" published in Japan, Yang Yan's "Huangshan Picture". In addition to these, Yang Yan has also been interviewed by CCTV, which is undoubtedly an encouragement and affirmation of his painting skills.

But just when his family gave up urging Yang Yan to start a family, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
In 2011, Yang Yan went to Africa. He originally wanted to find some creative inspiration, but unexpectedly he met an important person here: Aida. Aida was still studying at the time and was only 24 years old. She and Yang Yan met in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Aida has made great efforts to learn traditional culture, whether it is calligraphy, painting, tea art, or even Peking Opera, and has made great achievements in these aspects. This makes Yang Yan very happy. It's touching and proud.
