On the Origin of Wu Weibo's Painting and Calligraphy in A Dream of Red Mansions

Mr. Wu Weibo was influenced by his father since childhood.

From 65438 to 0979, he began to study The Story of the Stone, starting with sketching. From 1980 to 1993, he painted 120 paintings of the "Red Chamber" series.

1982 Wu Weibo studied A Dream of Red Mansions with his wife Kejun Liang. Kejun Liang focuses on the stories in A Dream of Red Mansions and provides Wu Weibo with about 1500 words of calligraphy every day. Wu Weibo wrote the first eighty chapters of Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions and the forty chapters of Gao E, which further sublimated the essence of his thoughts.

Wu Weibo said: In the first stage of the 9-mile "Long Scroll of the Red Chamber" project, the charm of pen and ink was to fulfill a dream for him: an oriental story with western colors-an abstract oil painting "A Dream of Red Mansions".

1992 65438+ 10, Mr. Wu Weibo, a strange man in the north of the Yangtze River, wrote a nine-mile scroll of Dream of Red Mansions, which set a Guinness World Record and won the title of "No.1 in the world".

On May 2 1992 and May 2 1 day, the total length of the "Long Scroll of the Red Chamber" was 4604.6438+0 1 (0.7) meters, which was jointly measured and notarized by the Bureau of Standards and Metrology of Yancheng People's Government of Jiangsu Province and Yancheng Notary Office.

In July,1993,256m "The Picture of the Red Chamber" was added.

1993 10 began to design the outer packaging box of "The Long Scroll of the Red Chamber". The package is an antique mahogany book box with a height of 53 cm and a width of 46 cm. Now there are 40 red wooden boxes, and the top of each box is engraved with the design of the red building.

June 1994 calligraphy supplement to the long scroll of the red chamber, 140m.

By the end of June 1994 1 1, the whole long scroll of "The Red Chamber" had gone 5000 meters. In the long scroll, various fonts are divided into hard pen, brush, finger book, bamboo book and Mo Yun. Cao Xueqin's original work is calligraphy, with 6.5438+0.23 million words. The comments of a mountain man, a flower protector and a Taiping idler in the Qing Dynasty are 6.5438+0.25 million words, and the comments of Zhou and others in the modern "Red Chamber" are 6.5438+.

This artistic picture scroll is smooth, grand, grotesque and unique, giving people a sense of freedom and exquisiteness.

Mr. Wu Weibo's creation of A Dream of Red Mansions and calligraphy scrolls aims to sublimate the Dream of Red Mansions with calligraphy language from the perspective of lines, to understand Cao Gong's thoughts in those days with five-color Mo Yun, and then to show another oriental culture to the world with the theme of A Dream of Red Mansions accepted by the world's great culture, taking Cao Xueqin's Eighty Stories of Stones as the prototype, using western painting as the means of expression and painting language as the blood.
