Wang Chengqiong's Growth Course

From the early summer of 199 1 to the spring of 1992, father Wang Guangcan, eldest brother Wang Chenglin, younger brother Wang Chengyou and mother also came to Dingshu town one after another. The family rented a house in Shuangqiao village and settled down. In addition to mother's laundry and cooking, the whole family is engaged in pot art decoration such as pottery carving and clay sculpture. "Wang San Brothers" had a certain influence on Dingshu Zisha.

1992, he gradually carved pots for some celebrities in the purple sand industry, and the requirements for pottery carving skills went further. I feel that my skills are not high. I carve pots and copy during the day, read books and study at night, study hard, study at work, and work while studying. Visiting ancient and modern purple sand pottery carvings, studying the knife method of pottery carving, integrating theory with practice, especially studying the traditional knife method of Manson, Ye Zi and Ren Ganting, which has a deep understanding and greatly increased my skill.

From 1994, he skillfully used the knife, paid attention to the charm of calligraphy and painting, boldly put forward a new idea-"the intention of writing with a knife", and paid attention to the development of pottery carving content. At that time, landscapes, flowers, birds, figures and other pottery carvings were quite face-saving, and pottery animal pots have been praised as "a must" by the industry. The pottery sculpture "animal" also fills a blank in Yixing purple sand pottery sculpture. At this time, I pay more attention to communicate with famous pot-making and pottery carving artists, and discuss pot-making and pottery carving skills, so as to enrich my knowledge, master and accumulate the profound traditional skills of purple sand, lay the foundation for my future career, and make me a new generation of famous pottery carving artists in Tao Dou.

The beginning of 1995 is an important year for Wang Chengqiong. The series of "Diaohu" pots, which cooperated with Taiwanese businessmen, sold well in the market of Taiwan Province Province, so they won the reputation of "Diaohu in the Pot" and gradually spread in Taiwan Province Province and Tao Dou.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/995, I married my lover Fan. Fan family has a long history of making pots, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Fan is also an expert in pot-making, so the couple began to create a "literati pot" which combines pot art production with calligraphy and painting, and the works sold well for a while. 1in the winter of 996, the cooperative "literati pot" was closed for two years because of the birth of a child.

1997, the Asian financial turmoil dealt a heavy blow to the market sales of Yixing Zisha. During this period, almost no one asked the pot in the market in Taiwan Province Province. In Tao Dou, the purple sand factory stopped production, the technicians were laid off, and the pottery pot business was bleak. Difficulties are also opportunities, so I am more free to study the creation of purple sand vases, wall decorations and the production process of purple sand pots alone.

From 1998, in Shenzhen, Guangdong and Guilin, Guangxi, the teapot market began to sprout, and customers gradually increased. Wang Chengqiong and Fan's "Scholar's Pot" took the lead in influencing these places, which made artists in the same industry envious. According to the requirements of pot friends and the results of discussion with husband and wife, we decided to change the traditional pot art style. At that time, after consulting a lot of information, I learned that there were three peaks in the history of teapot: Shi Dabin, Shao Daheng and Gu Jingzhou. Ancient, Shao, and stone pots are strong, and Gu Yuan learns from Shao and Shao, which is the orthodoxy of pot art. In modern times, Master He Daohong's pot was plump, with a rough mouth and a rough handle. The husband and wife absorbed the strengths of the four styles, which made the work have Gu Shao's bones and Hong Tao's flesh. Then with fine clay sculpture, calligraphy and pottery carving, it gradually formed its own eye-catching style.

From then to now, all the works of pot art are mainly light elements, focusing on novelty in tradition, strangeness in modeling, stable movement, elegance in elegance, elegance in sketch, beauty in practice and truth in raw materials. His works are a collection of calligraphy, painting, seal cutting, poetry, pottery and sculpture, which are favored by collectors and pot friends.

1In the autumn of 999, the 4th China Folk Art Festival was held in Mashan, Wuxi, with tens of thousands of visitors and artists from all over the country. Wang Chengqiong was selected as the representative of Yixing Zisha pottery carving circle to perform pottery carving skills in public. Wang Chengqiong's carved "Century Xiong Feng" purple sand art disc won the "Gold Award" on the spot. Many TV, newspapers, radio and other media have reported to varying degrees, making it famous.

Later, his works often won big prizes in national and provincial exhibitions. Among them, Happy Birthday Sharing, Old and New Complex, Harmonious Home and Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest won national "Gold Awards" such as China National Arts and Crafts Master Exhibition and China Arts and Crafts Exhibition respectively, and often made souvenirs for Chinese and foreign leaders and celebrities, which were well received by people from all walks of life at home and abroad.

In May, 2005, after screening by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce of China and the Organizing Committee of China-ASEAN Expo, Wang Chengqiong and Fan's pot art works stood out among many artworks, and were finally selected as the sole producer of "National Gift Pot", and 3 1 Zisha Pot was selected as the "National Gift". In 2006, more than 100 varieties of teapot art works were selected as "national gifts" and presented to Chinese and foreign leaders and politicians respectively, which created a precedent for the flourishing teapot to become a "national gift". This is undoubtedly of great historical, political and cultural significance in the history of Yixing Zisha, which has played an important role in promoting the development of China Zisha culture and pushing Zisha gifts to a new historical height. Therefore, Wang Chengqiong is also known as the "first person of national gift purple sand".

In April, 2009, Wang Chengqiong and Fan established the National Gift Zisha Art Museum and the National Gift Zisha Art Research Institute in Dingshu Town, Taodou, and held a grand opening and unveiling ceremony. Director Chen of the National People's Congress Training Center, Director Yang Jingkai of the China-ASEAN Expo Bureau of Guangxi Autonomous Region, General Wang Jianghuai, a professor at the National Defense University of the People's Liberation Army, deputy mayor of Yixing Municipal Committee, political commissar Wang Chengxing, Qi, director of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army of China, political commissar of a primary school of the Armed Police Force, director of the China Arts and Crafts Society, and master of arts and crafts in China.

20 1 1 in March, 2008, the national ceremony Zisha Art Museum reached a strategic partnership agreement with Shanghai F 1 International Competition Company, becoming its sole VIP gift supplier. As one of the top three sports events in the world, the F 1 World Championship has billions of spectators all over the world. They strictly control the qualifications of sponsors and partners, which fully reflects the uniqueness of the event. Therefore, only a few well-known enterprises at home and abroad can stand out from the competition and become their partners. In the gift industry, the selection of Yixing Guoli Zisha Art Museum marks the important position of Yili Zisha Art Museum in the purple sand industry and even the gift industry, which has far-reaching significance. During the competition, CHAM Taitom, Assistant to the President of the French-Chinese Association and Secretary-General of China, OrenRozenblat, Deputy Consul General of the Israeli Consulate in Shanghai, Yuan Tianqiao, Chairman of the American-Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, Kfir Goldhammer and ByunoGeorges, etc., visited the F 1 World Automobile Championship at the invitation of the Art Museum.
