As an art form, calligraphy and painting can reflect life, express thoughts and convey feelings, and has been an important carrier of cultural civilization since ancient times. Dragon was created by China people through multiple tolerance of various animals and astronomical phenomena in nature. It has the spirit of tolerance, prosperity, harmony with the sky and forge ahead. After at least 8,000 years or even tens of thousands of years of evolution and sublimation, the dragon has become a generalized totem, spiritual symbol, cultural symbol, belief carrier and emotional bond of the Chinese nation. Most Chinese at home and abroad agree that they are "descendants of the dragon" in the humanistic sense. Dragon culture is both a root culture and a symbolic culture. It is both a traditional culture and a fashion culture; It is both a folk culture and an official culture; It is both material culture and spiritual culture; This is not only China culture, but also the world culture. At present, the Chinese nation is facing major issues such as cross-strait reunification, spiritual home reconstruction and integration with world civilization. In the process of solving these problems, Long Wenhua will certainly play its unique role.
Dragon culture needs to be studied, publicized, disseminated and popularized. Calligraphy and painting are good carriers and ways to publicize and popularize dragon culture. Last month, at the Fuxi Cultural Forum in Tianshui, I suggested that "China's five thousand years up and down" can be understood as "five thousand years up and down", which was initiated by Fuxi and Huangdi, which caused great repercussions and was reported by dozens of media. I can put forward this view because I divided two ancient rock paintings and a picture of a woman dating back 10,000 years into Fuxi's mother Hua Xushi. The combination diagram of deer head and fish tail, I call it "Meng Long". Since the study of dragon culture, I have been to many places at home and abroad and written countless dragon characters. I think this is also a kind of propaganda, promotion and dissemination of dragon culture, so I often feel sacred, wonderful and happy.
The descendants of Wang, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, have the genes of excellent artists. Wang is famous for his poems and plays, but for his calligraphy and painting. Especially in recent years, Wang Haiming has devoted himself to the creation of calligraphy and painting of dragon culture, which can be said to be remarkable. We support and bless him, and believe that he can engage in the dragon cause with the spirit of dragon and make greater, more and more remarkable achievements! Thick ink and heavy color dragon rhyme
There is the Qinling Mountains in Long Mai, China in the south and the Yellow River in the north, which is known as the "cabbage heart" of Qinchuan in 800 miles. Huxian, a hometown of peasant paintings, is itself a prosperous place of dragon culture. At that time, Gun was ordered to control water, and Gun's fief was the state official of Xia Zhichong, namely Huxian County. Stories such as the dragon king sending umbrellas, the dragon girl presenting treasures and the legend of the white dragon have spread all over the rural areas of Huxian County. Wang Haiming, the 22nd generation great writer and great painter of dragon culture in Ming Dynasty, grew up and was edified in this dragon culture atmosphere.
The creation of any painter or calligrapher is influenced by his living environment. What kind of living environment, what kind of personality, naturally what kind of work. Mr Wang Haiming was born in 1959. He has a deep memory of the 10-year Cultural Revolution and more than 30 years of reform and opening-up, and he is deeply proud of the contemporary China of reform and opening-up. He was excited and excited about the goal of China's * * * production party leading people of all ethnic groups to a well-off society step by step, but he couldn't help it. China is a series of creative themes, such as a "dragon", the soaring of a prosperous dragon, and the harmony of the world led by the dragon, which are stirring his artistic thinking in his mind. In 2007, the Dragon Culture Creative Studio in Anhua Township was established, dedicated to the research, creation and promotion of traditional culture in China. He first painted dragons, and hundreds of his works were well-known at home and abroad. Later, he wrote dragon books and dragon and phoenix books, and launched a number of impressive works, "Painting dragons to show their charm, painting dragons to convey their spirit", which won the most sincere praise from the painting and calligraphy circles.
His "Dragon Painting" works are characterized by broad composition, great momentum and gorgeous colors. He often tells people that dragons are dragons, walking between heaven and earth and breathing fire and rain are all blessed by the atmosphere to suppress evil spirits. The work is not atmospheric, so it is difficult to express my wishes. Looking at the World, which won the first gold medal of celebrity dragon painting and calligraphy in China, is particularly shocking: on the green land, there is a red and yellow dragon to show good luck, hold your head high, stand firmly on the top of the earth and look down at the world with your eyes. The whole composition is S-shaped, which conforms to the aesthetic law advocated by Mr. Chang Puzhi. The dynamic of the dragon body and the stability of the dragon foot are perfectly combined, and the beauty of the harmonious revolution and rotation of the sun, the earth and the moon is fully displayed in the huge drawings. Silver and red clouds set off the mystery and fierceness of dragons. The moral of this painting is very clear: carry forward the dragon's spirit of tolerance, unity and forge ahead, and the Chinese nation will stand on its own feet among the nations of the world and play a leading role in building a harmonious world. Dragon dancing, which won the special prize of loong Masters Exhibition in the 20th/Kloc-0th/2nd century, is even more famous all over the world: Golden Dragon flies down from the clouds, Cai Feng sings with his head held high, Golden Dragon dances as he wishes, and Cai Fengjin's feather flutters, giving people a kind of dragon and phoenix flying in the blue sky, white clouds winding around, and young dragon Cai Feng singing together, with harmonious melody.
Another feature of his dragon paintings is that they are rich in pen and ink, highlighting the theme, and endowing the traditional dragon with the spirit of the times with a brand-new vision. Five years ago, he has been engaged in artistic creation. It is one of the basic ideas of his creation to have a theme before creating, which gives people some guidance on values. The prosperity of Han and Tang dynasties, the sun and the moon shine together, calls for the recovery and return of traditional morality; From the perspective of common people's perception, The East of Zi Qi and Fu 'an reflect the theme that common people long for peace and happiness, and the insight that hard work will bring prosperity to generations. The "space spirit" in "Dragon and Tiger Chasing the Moon", "Dragon Boat Around the World", "Flying Dragon for Nine Days" and "Dancing with Flying Dragons" can not only see Yi's philosophical thoughts, but also appreciate the author's broad mind of unity.
The whole dragon painting works, with a large number of traditional techniques and various painting elements, are bright and elegant in color, rich in composition, smooth in lines and profound in brushwork, giving people a double impact of vision and mind.
His "Dragon Book" works are unique and original at once. All the "Dragon Books" are based on Buddhism, the soaring of dragons as the main body, dry, moist and burnt ink as the change of handwriting, and different auspicious animals as the theme, giving people the beauty of traditional auspicious culture of the Chinese zodiac, and appreciating the pictographic beauty of Chinese characters in China. For example, there is a flowing "S" shape in the first half of "Crane Roars for a Long Life", which highlights the sharpness of the crane's mouth and the softness of the crane's neck, and at the same time, the whole is a word of "longevity"; Spring dance the Silver Snake, written for the 20 13 New Year, highlights the snake head and snake letter in the first half, and ends with the cursive word "Spring" in the second half. Generally speaking, it is both a desirable meaning and a word "spring", which is the author's original intention.
His dragon book is getting better and better Dragon and Phoenix Dance is meaningful and thought-provoking. Dragon and Phoenix Dance is based on parallel flight paths, which is flexible and interdependent. On the whole, it presents the calligraphy style of "Dragon and Phoenix Dance". "The dragon's head is boundless and the world is flat" permeates the unique feelings of Shaanxi people. Together with the dragon painting Dragonfly and Phoenix Dance, these two dragon calligraphy works were selected by China Celebrity Association, World Federation of Chinese Businessmen, China National Trade Promotion Association and China Calligraphers Magazine, and won the honor of "loong Celebrity Art Century Award" and "China Patriotic Artist".
The dragon is a symbol, an artistic conception, and a unique feeling that all descendants of the dragon are connected by flesh and blood. The spirit of the dragon is the spirit of unity and struggle, the spirit of harmony between heaven and earth, and its cohesion and appeal are self-evident for the present and the future, for individuals and for the nation. I hope Mr. Wang Haiming can use this as a starting point to create more and better dragon paintings and books.
