How did Mr. Ma Yiliang embark on the road of painting and calligraphy art

My friends grazing in Yun Bo and I came to Mr. Ma Yiliang's painting and calligraphy garden on Linshui East Road in Mackey City. On the first day, Yan Boyou came. When he saw our arrival, he and Mr. Ma rushed out. When he saw Mr Ma Yiliang, he felt deja vu. After greeting, we asked Mr. Ma, only to know that Mr. Luo Huaiyu and I had been to his original painting garden on Jiankang Road together. Teacher Ma's first influence on me is that she is shy, quiet, soft outside and hard inside, and has a lot of personality. His painting and calligraphy garden is less than 15 square meters, which is occupied by one third of the paintings. Calligraphy and painting are piled on the chopping board. There are two sets of simple bookshelves on the back wall, filled with celebrity books and picture albums, and three walls are covered with paintings and calligraphy works of celebrities from other places and Tianshui, and the small pavement is miscellaneous but not chaotic. Having met Mr. Ma once, it is much more convenient to communicate with each other. We explained our purpose, and Mr. Ma Yiliang immediately put his paintings and calligraphy on the case. We appreciated them one by one, and found that his paintings were exquisitely laid out, with bright brush and ink. At our suggestion, with the click of the shutter, one painting and calligraphy work is frozen forever. What forced Mr. Ma Yiliang to go to the difficult and tortuous road of painting and calligraphy? With this question, I had a long talk with Mr. Ma and realized that his small success today was driven by his indomitable will and unyielding belief. Mr. Ma Yiliang, the owner of No.6 Beicaotang and Yilan Xuan in Zhaihai, was born in a mountain village on the North Road in Maiji District. In junior high school, I was very interested in painting, calligraphy and literature. Practice painting and calligraphy in my spare time and learn to write. With the encouragement and guidance of two middle school teachers, calligraphy, painting and writing have a certain foundation. He is the eldest of four brothers and sisters because of the poor economic situation at home. In order to share the pressure of life with his parents and let his younger brothers and sisters finish their studies, Mr. Ma Yiliang gave up the opportunity to go to college and resolutely returned to the countryside after graduating from high school. While helping his parents to work, he practiced painting and calligraphy, at the same time, he enrolled himself as a Chinese language and literature major, recharged himself, and more importantly, fulfilled his dream of going to college. With the continuous improvement of literary level, his understanding and perception of calligraphy and painting have also improved, especially his writing level has made great progress. His essays and poems are often published in the Baihua column of Gansu Daily, Gansu Farmers Daily and Tianshui Daily. In order to help his younger brother and sister go to school and change the economic situation at home, he came to Lanzhou to work. During my work in Lanzhou, I met my middle school classmates who were studying in Lanzhou University. Knowing that Ma Yiliang taught himself Chinese language and literature as a major, his classmates mobilized him to take time to attend a lecture given by a professor from the Chinese Department of Lanzhou University, and he readily agreed. With an uneasy heart, accompanied by classmates, I walked into the classroom of colleges and universities, listened to the professor's lectures, and made him obsessed with going back and forth and intoxicated in the ocean of knowledge. With the help of classmates, all the well-known professors in the Chinese Department attended, which promoted the successful completion of the self-taught Chinese language and literature major and sublimated their cultural accomplishment. Back in Tianshui, I was lucky enough to be recruited to work in the office of a government agency, drinking tea, reading newspapers and coping with inspections in provinces and cities. After three years, I can't afford to kill time, but I can't afford to kill time in spring. He resolutely quit his comfortable job and went to China Painting and Calligraphy Mounting Technical College to study in debt. This is a major turning point in his life, and it is also the beginning of the combination of hobbies and making a living. He cherished the hard-won opportunity, eagerly majored in painting and calligraphy mounting technology, and also took some specialized courses related to painting and calligraphy, such as calligraphy history, art history, seal cutting, painting and calligraphy techniques, business and economic theory. He is diligent, curious and persistent. On the basis of his original literary level and hobby of painting and calligraphy, he studied painting and calligraphy theory, painting and calligraphy techniques and mounting techniques in professional colleges, which was undoubtedly icing on the cake. He graduated with excellent results and went home to rent a shop in downtown Mackey. Mr. Ma Yiliang told us that learning calligraphy and painting should have financial support. Thanks to mounting calligraphy and painting, he has changed his economic situation, and the improvement of economic situation has contributed to the goal of learning calligraphy and painting. Born in the painting and calligraphy class, Mr. Ma Yiliang, with his exquisite painting and calligraphy skills, perfection in painting and calligraphy mounting, love for painting and calligraphy and enthusiasm for customers who came to paint and calligraphy, immediately created a world in Mackey City, and celebrity paintings and calligraphy poured in. He likes painting and calligraphy, and walks outside famous works every day, which makes him crazy. In his spare time, he continued to write. For more than ten years, he happened to find his favorite famous painting and calligraphy albums, and he spared no expense to buy them. To learn calligraphy and painting, you have to follow the horse's lead and gallop at will. As long as you see what you like, you can learn boldly. Yan Zhenqing made great efforts based on the Preface to the Holy Teaching written by monks Tang Kai and Tang Huairen. He likes the beauty of gentleness, introversion and tranquility, and prefers Gong of Ming Dynasty and contemporary times. He is eager to pursue his own hands. Modern Bai Jiao's running script is elegant and talented, often ups and downs in elegance and taste, which makes people linger. Painting worships Wu Changshuo, a master of flower and bird painting, and learns from Shi Tao, Kun Can and others. Shi Tao's "Painting Quotations" gave him a deeper understanding of painting. In order to improve his painting skills, Mr. Ma Yiliang visited the solo exhibition of famous artists such as Li Keran in Beijing National Museum, and also visited the works of Wu Changshuo and Zhang Daqian in Rong Baozhai. I went to Shandong to learn painting from the famous painter Feng Zengmu, and visited the famous master of flower and bird painting, Mr. Yu Xining, in Qingdao, and asked him to direct his works. Master Yu Xining appreciated Mr. Ma Yiliang's bold brushwork and commented on his works: "Students who don't want to cut down the teacher's big tree have no future. Learning is going back and forth between breaking and standing, and they have to work hard outside of painting and calligraphy. " Listening to you is better than studying for ten years. Mr. Ma Yiliang suddenly realized that to learn calligraphy and painting well, one must have knowledge of classical literature, philosophy, seal cutting, music, poetry and prose. The knowledge beyond painting and calligraphy often provides important information for understanding painting and calligraphy, thus inspiring painters. Since then, his paintings and calligraphy have made a qualitative leap. When we talk about the relationship between literature and calligraphy and painting, Mr. Ma Yiliang seems to have endless topics. He quoted four classical novels, A Dream of Red Mansions, and described his feelings in combination with the appreciation of calligraphy and painting: "Readers feel differently from different angles. People who like poetry read A Dream of Red Mansions, which is a masterpiece of poetry. People who like to eat regard a dream of red mansions as a gourmet menu ... so is appreciating a painting, seeing the world one inch at a time; Appreciating the inscription on a painting means appreciating a calligraphy ... "Mr. Ma can not only appreciate literary works from different angles, but also inspire what he encounters in life, that is, poems and paintings. As he wrote in the poem, "Who wrote this extraordinary poem?" ? Excuse me, is Shi an ivy? Or doubt lyna's Mohist poems? ""Calligraphy and painting have a high background and a long history of success. If you want to shock the world, you have done well! Avenue can't exist forever, and there is a way in the air. My generation is still practicing their eyes. Don't be fooled by a great craftsman in name only. I am a teacher. Let's realize Zen together. If there is dharma, it can't be Buddhism. You and I are the same teachers, and Daxiang is an invisible master. "When I saw this poem by Mr. Ma Yiliang's Yitian Painting and Calligraphy Garden, I suddenly realized that Mr. Ma Yiliang's understanding of literature, calligraphy and painting is so deep and so far away! His paintings and calligraphy have become excellent works, which should be attributed to his profound cultural heritage, his assiduous learning and hard practice, and his perseverance, courage and determination to climb. Taking the road of art is a process of perfecting life, which requires perseverance and innovative courage, and more importantly, a fresh heart full of childlike innocence. " The law cannot be Dafa. " May Mr. Ma Yiliang follow the rules of the ancients and teachers, and more importantly, break through the rules and walk out of himself. This is the highest realm pursued by painters and painters!
