What makes this land smell of calligraphy? Yuanyang county, formerly known as Bolangsha, is famous for attacking Qin. The nourishment of the Yellow River water makes this land rich in culture and famous people come forth in large numbers. In history, 14 historical celebrities have served as prime ministers of official residences. The profound cultural heritage has added artistic spirituality to people living here, and a large number of famous painters and painters have been born. Since the reform and opening up, Yuanyang's cultural undertakings have mushroomed, and people pay more attention to cultural accomplishment when they get rich. In cities, "calligraphy and painting" has become a new fashion; In rural areas, "calligraphy and painting" has become a way to get rich.
Caopo Village, HanDong Zhuang Town, named as "the hometown of folk culture and art in China" by the Ministry of Culture, is a small village with only 1.400 people in the Yellow River beach area of this county. Unexpectedly, it is actually a place of "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger". More than 300 peasant painters "painted while dancing" helped the villagers get rid of poverty, built small buildings and bought cars, and became a well-known "painter village".
"These are all painted by the villagers in our village." Shi Shujiang, secretary of the Party branch of Caopo Village, said that there are more than 300 farmers engaged in the creation and sale of calligraphy and painting in our village, and their works have already rushed out of the Yellow River beach and flew to Zhengzhou, Xi, Taiyuan, Hong Kong and Macao. There are two ordinary bungalows in the courtyard of Caopo Village Committee, and the rooms are filled with a dazzling array of paintings and calligraphy. Landscape painting is fresh and lofty, insect and fish paintings are lifelike, portraits are vivid and lifelike, and calligraphy works are elegant and free and easy. ...
"Many people in the village learn calligraphy and painting, and I feel itchy myself. If I don't study, I can't talk to people. One is to cultivate a hobby for yourself, and the other is to improve the economic conditions at home. " Zhang is an out-and-out farmer, sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, turning over the soil and watering it, and "planing" the yellow land for decades. Influenced by the painting atmosphere in the village, she became a painting enthusiast a few years ago and her works have been sold in the market.
There are thirty or forty farmers like Zhang in Zhuang Town, HanDong, the county. In order to let the villagers learn more about painting and calligraphy, the township party committee and government took the lead to help them set up the Huang Heren Painting and Calligraphy Institute. The County Poverty Alleviation Office and the County Cultural Bureau even regard the development of painting and calligraphy industry as a poverty alleviation project in Caopo Village, invest funds to provide free training for villagers who are interested in learning painting, set up a cultural industry office, set up a painting and calligraphy website, and set up a cultural industry development company, taking painting and calligraphy as a sunrise industry, and plan and promote it as a whole.
Nowadays, "everyone loves calligraphy and every family hangs calligraphy and painting" has almost become a true portrayal of Yuanyang County. Whether in a small town or in the countryside, it always presents the poetry of pen and ink and dance, filled with elegant cultural atmosphere.
