Yan Xuezhang's view on life.

In his own life and artistic creation, Yan Xuezhang is good at understanding and diligent in thinking. Sometimes one's life motto is dissolved in his works, which is both harmonious and literary, and enlightens people in plain and unpretentious places.

* Not overbearing. (academic idea)

* Separation of ideological criticism from goodwill towards others. (principle of life)

People say that money is a piece of paper, so is calligraphy and painting.

There are words and pictures, no money, and I am flustered when I shit and pee.

My relatives and friends are very kind to me, and I can't forget that drop of water.

A piece of paper for a piece of paper, I live in a wall. (Run Bishi)

* One hundred and a half is half a hundred, and half a life is half a hundred.

Half a lifetime of hard work and half a lifetime of happiness, half of the left gets half of the right.

Half confused, half understood, half grandson, half grandfather.

Life is always mixed with joys and sorrows, and the aesthetics of the world is half incomplete.

Half a hundred lives are wasted, and the rest will be known in half a hundred days.

I was missed by crabs for half my life and ran wild for half a day. (half a hundred tricks)

* A hundred schools of thought contend is a sacred brick, which lays the cornerstone of Chinese studies, but it has its historical limitations. Confucius' theory of "harmony but difference" seems unsuitable for modern society. The pattern of modern society is "harmony without difference", "harmony without difference" is "small harmony" and "harmony without difference" is "great harmony". "Being overbearing" means "being harmonious but different".

* Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is a small bridge, not the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Wang Xizhi was a book saint in the eyes of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, but not everyone. Everyone has his own book saint.

* Shi Tao's "pen and ink should follow the times" is regarded as a standard by later generations and only applies to ordinary artists. The pen and ink of master artists do not follow the times, but lead the times. Therefore, the real artistic creation is "pen and ink lead the times".

* "Innovation based on tradition" is always right nonsense. This waste of time is a double-edged sword. It can kill tradition with the "blade of innovation" and innovation with the "blade of tradition". Therefore, it always swings between tradition and innovation. Real artistic innovation is the result of breaking away from the shackles of tradition. My creative view is "deconstructing tradition on the basis of innovation".

* Exhibition-centered artistic calligraphy creation leads to a dead end of exhibition, evaluation and creation. Such an exhibition is zero, such an evaluation is zero, and such a creation is zero. In short, no innovation equals zero.

It is lucky to meet "enemies" academically, but it is very bad to be full of "friends" academically. My academic creed is "hate friends and love enemies".

* Treat yourself as a dog, live more like a human being, treat yourself as a human being, and live worse than a dog. (zodiac dog)

* Looking at the world, it is difficult to eat shit, make money, be a man and be a dog. (zodiac dog)

* Marry a wife you can afford, eat a meal you can digest, and make pig friends you can make. Keep a kind heart, have a good relationship and enjoy a good fortune. (Zodiac pig)

* It has been out of favor for many years in the fashion of losing weight, and it is still happy in the years of losing favor. This is God's blessing to the fat pig. (Zodiac pig)

White cats and black cats are good cats when they catch mice, and white mice and black cats are good cats when they are not caught by cats. (Zodiac Mouse)

When a mouse crosses the street, everyone shouts and hits, and when it shouts and hits, people who cross the street cross the street. (Zodiac Mouse)

* Barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, and those who wear cloth shoes are not afraid to wear oxhide shoes; Bald people are not afraid to wear hats, and those who wear straw hats are not afraid to wear rice bowls. (Zodiac cattle)

* There are three kinds of cattle in the world: one is to eat grass to squeeze blood, the other is to eat grass to squeeze milk, and the other is to eat blood and milk without defecating. (Zodiac cattle)

I am drawing a tiger, and you are drawing a tiger. The tiger you drew is in the cage, and the tiger I drew is in my heart. I draw a tiger like me and you draw a tiger like a tiger. (Zodiac Tiger)

* Don't eat tigers when you hear that there are tigers in the mountains. People often eat amazing people. (Zodiac Tiger)

* Be a man with an attitude of being born, sitting on the moon and smiling at the world like a rabbit; Doing things with a WTO attitude is like a rabbit running on the ground and drilling three holes. (Zodiac Rabbit)
