Liu Xing’s artistic views

The core issue in Chinese painting is the issue of charm and pen and ink. Mr. Huang Binhong said, first look at the charm, and then look at the pen and ink. A good Chinese painting must be elegant, fresh and refined, making the viewer feel as if he has ascended to immortality. If the charm is not high, or even vulgar, then the pen and ink, no matter how "vivid" it is, is meaningless. Therefore, the primary issue in learning Chinese painting is to cultivate one's temperament, deepen one's self-cultivation, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles, so that one can have a cultural temperament that embraces the eight extremes and pursues thousands of things. Under this premise, he practiced calligraphy diligently, refined his pen and ink, used calligraphy to integrate painting techniques, and used Tao's pen and ink as a centerpiece. The charm of pen and ink, and the true feelings on the paper, can create good works that can move both yourself and the readers.
