An analysis of the reasons for the popularity of Long Mei painter Li Xugang's works

Li Xugang, born in 1946, a native of Chuzhou, Anhui Province, is a Chinese painting painter with a transcendent character, whose name is Shuang Qingzhai, and now lives in Beijing. Director of People's Artists Association, vice president of Beijing Yellow Painting and Calligraphy Research Institute, director of Chinese painting department of Beijing Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Research Institute, special painter of Zhongshan Painting and Calligraphy Institute, member of Anhui Artists Association. Advanced course of theoretical research and creation in Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts. First-class artist, good at painting plum and bamboo, his masterpiece "Huaxia Long Mei".

First, the extraordinary resume of Huaxia Long Mei

The 29th Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention in 2008, was held in Beijing. Li Xugang, a painter who is famous for painting plums, wants to dedicate his paintings to the Olympic Games. When designing works, I always feel that the traditional plum blossom theme alone can't express the historical significance of hosting the first Olympic Games in a big country with oriental civilization, so I thought of the Oriental Dragon, which skillfully integrated the dragon culture and plum blossom spirit into painting and created an unprecedented new form of Chinese painting-Huaxia Long Mei. Really:

Holding a soft bosom just shows charm, nine days long, full of pride.

The black dragon gave birth to 3,000 flowers and a unique fragrance of Kun.

This work contains static and dynamic, with a magnificent pattern and the spirit of the Chinese nation's Olympic take-off and the country's prosperity.

As soon as Huaxia Long Mei came out, it caused great repercussions. In the first half of 2008, "Huaxia Long Mei" participated in the "First" Chen Nice Cup "Global Chinese Calligraphy Art Competition" and won the gold medal in traditional Chinese painting. Long Mei's series "Soaring" was selected as a long scroll of painting and calligraphy for the 2008 Olympic Games (which has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records) and published in the Collection of Art Works of Xinhua News Agency? Special issue of Olympic Games 2008, collector's edition 12.

Then "Huaxia Long Mei" was lucky enough to appear in Zhengyangmen, the birthplace of Long Mai. What is on display here are the works of Huaxia Long Mei in the spring of 20 10.

Located at the south gate of the Forbidden City, the ancestral halls of emperors of past dynasties were held here on September 20 12. The exhibition of paintings and calligraphy works by famous artists, including Qi Baishi and Li Keran, and more than 100 works by contemporary artists such as Huang Yongyu were exhibited on the same stage. Li Xugang's Long Mei work "Chinese Soul" is located in the center of the exhibition hall and becomes the focus of the exhibition. Here and now, this scene is bathed in the aura of the late emperor.

The unique artistry and uniqueness of the time and scene in Long Mei, China, is unique in any painting, so it has the most collection value.

Second, the deep meaning of Huaxia Long Mei

In the long river of history, although the Chinese nation has gone through hardships, it has been able to survive and develop tenaciously and never stopped. Like plum blossoms, cold ling blooms alone. This strong cohesion. As a song goes: In the ancient East, there were a group of people with black eyes, black hair and yellow skin. We are all descendants of dragons. Long Mei in China shows the majestic posture and majesty of the dragon, bearing the unchanging belief of "descendants of the dragon". Mei's character and integrity are the eternal spirit of "descendants of the dragon".

Third, "Huaxia Long Mei" corresponds to the hearts of many people.

In China's painting culture, there is such a traditional symbol: painting persimmons represents all the best, and painting fish is more than enough every year. Therefore, it is logical to interpret Long Mei as Long Mai. According to many collectors of Long Mei's works, our collection of Long Mei does not regard it as a separate work of art, but as a sacred object in our hearts and a carrier of Long Mai. It's auspicious.

It has been ten years since Huaxia Long Mei was founded. In addition to the collections of libraries and large enterprises, there are more folk collectors who push Long Mei to a new height. For example, a family of Chinese medicine practitioners in Tai 'an, Shandong Province, collected a portrait of Long Mei and asked for an inscription: "Long Mai knows the world and is passed down from generation to generation." The owner of a large jade market in Xiu Yuan, Liaoning Province, collected a painting by Long Mei. He asked for an inscription: "Long Mai has connections and connections." As a treasure of the town store. There is also a calligraphy and painting operator who has collected the works of painter Li Xugang for many years. One of his characteristics is that he pays special attention to the color of plum blossoms. Later, he realized that he was meeting the spiritual needs of people with different desires according to the traditional meaning of China color. After summing up and perfecting, the color of flowers and the corresponding psychological needs are classified as follows:

Purple: inspirational career type

Ink color: golden and elegant

Cinnabar: a safe type to ward off evil spirits

Dan Lan: Rich type.

Red: all-round type

In addition, the classic size of Long Mei is determined by absorbing the regression opinions of collectors for many years:

Frame crane: from three feet to two feet; Gift box hand roll: width from 25 to 46 cm.

In a word, people gather firewood with a high flame, and "descendants of dragons" have made "Long Mei of China". As a collector, collecting is a wish, a blessing to peace, a state of mind, peace and harmony, a spark of the soul and a hope to light up life.

May Long Mai spread all over the world and be handed down from generation to generation.
