Thoughts on visiting Xu Beihong Memorial Hall

Taking advantage of the fine weather, take the children to Xu Beihong Memorial Hall for a walk, get a close look at the painter's demeanor and cultivate artistic feelings.

After getting out of the subway, I followed the navigation to my destination. As a result, I was attracted by a wetland park in Shichahai halfway. So I followed the visitors in front and went in. I see the lotus in full bloom in the distance. It blooms in the sun.

The child ran happily in front and soon came to the pool full of lotus flowers. He couldn't put it down when he looked at the green lotus leaf with a big cloak against the pink lotus.

Many tourists nearby took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and some professional photographers were fiddling with their own equipment, hoping to freeze the moment with their lenses.

There is such a natural park on the second ring road, with water, mountains and pavilions. The scenery is unique, so it seems that I have more time to go out for a walk.

After the visit, we went to the memorial hall. After about 10 minutes, I came to the entrance of the memorial hall, showed my reservation code, exchanged my ID card for tickets, and entered the museum smoothly.

The memorial hall is divided into four floors. The landlord on the first floor will introduce Xu Beihong's life and growth experience. The second and third floors are mainly Mr. Wang's painting exhibitions. The fourth floor is the lecture hall.

Let's start from the first floor. Because it is a working day, there are few people in the museum, and it is very quiet, which is suitable for enjoying it slowly.

Before the visit, my impression of Xu Beihong was that he was a great painter and was famous for drawing horses. But after the visit, I found myself a little ignorant.

Xu Beihong is an outstanding master of art in China and the first president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. His paintings are creative and open up a broad road for the innovation of traditional art, and he is called "the father of modern painting in China" by international critics.

He is not only good at theme creation, but also adds life scenes to his paintings, showing the industriousness, simplicity and courage of the working people, which has laid the brand of the nation and the times. His natural landscape paintings such as animals and flowers are also vivid, and his writing is full of spirit.

Besides painting, he also likes to learn seal cutting and calligraphy. According to records, he used more than 100 seals and collected more seals.

He has a pure heart. After studying abroad, he resolutely returned to the motherland and made contributions to national construction. As a painter, he has held many art exhibitions and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. He has repeatedly donated the income from exhibitions or the wealth from selling paintings to places needed by the national revolution or construction.

It is precisely because there are talents like Xu Beihong in our country and artists, educators and thinkers like Xu Beihong in Qian Qian that the new China can quickly become rich and strong.

For those of us who were born in peacetime, we should cherish our present life and live well. The sharing of live high is wonderful.
