Why is there always wine in artists' works?

Li Bai, a poet who calls himself Brewmaster, can write hundreds of poems by drinking a barrel of wine. Calligrapher Zhang Xu drank three cups and wrote a book with a wave of his hand. If he gets God's help, he will be honored as a sage of grass. Tao Yuanming is the first reclusive pastoral poet who wrote a lot of drinking poems in the history of China literature.

Ancient literati mostly painted poems with pastoral, mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. In the modern noisy city, there is also such a small courtyard, which is far away from the hubbub in the downtown area and intoxicated in the quiet and far-reaching environment.

It's small, quiet and deep. Through the clever use of contrast and perspective, it created a river with rocks and gravel. Walking in, the main stone here is either upright like a screen, staggered like a door leaf, or layered like a step. Its stone management skills are exquisite. From a distance, the viewer seems to feel the water flowing between the towering cliffs and rushing under the shallow bridge.

On a hot summer day in Beijing, this quadrangle hidden in the downtown area smells of wine. On the evening of May 30th, Fang Shuijing, together with YT Cloud Map, the first liquor workshop in China, and Xu Longsen, a world-class artist, hosted a dinner in Fang Shuijing, inviting 30 bosom friends to taste art and wine together and explore the 600-year living heritage of Fang Shuijing.

As the first generation gallery owner in China, artist Xu Longsen stopped all his business at the peak of his career and came to Beijing alone at the age of 50 to become a professional artist. He moved the traditional landscape painting from the box to the wall. However, enlargement is not limited to landscape. Giant landscape painting has revived the most important spiritual core of China traditional landscape while surpassing the traditional landscape creation and viewing methods, and has now become a landscape trend.

The huge landscape painting by artist Xu Longsen was also exhibited at the dinner, which made the dinner an art space. The special edition video of "The Great Artist" featuring Xu Longsen and Fang Shuijing, produced and released by YT Yuntu Creative Media, was also presented exclusively at the scene.

Since ancient times, literati and artists in history have always been accompanied by wine, and many creative inspirations have benefited from wine. Artist Xu Longsen is not only a respected world-class landscape painter, but also a veteran liquor lover and sommelier. While chatting with the guests about the creation of landscape paintings at dinner, he also talked about his feelings and love for liquor.

Like artists, winemakers have created masterpieces in the field of wine. More than 600 years ago, Shuijing Street Brewery opened a wine cellar in Shuijing Street in the center of ancient Chengdu, built a workshop to draw water from the upper reaches of Minjiang River, and used the vestibule as a backyard for brewing. It is a typical example of ancient brewing workshops and wineries, and it can be called "the first workshop".

The owners of Shuijing Street Winery in the past dynasties strictly abide by the ancient workshop cellar-keeping training and take good care of the winery. So far, the well-preserved ancient pits have confirmed the footprint of uninterrupted production and development in Fang Shuijing for more than 600 years. For more than 600 years, Shuijing Street Winery has adhered to its original producing area and maintained the prosperity of Jincheng.

Thousands of oil lamps in ancient restaurants have protected the "national intangible cultural heritage-traditional brewing technology of crystal wine" handed down by teachers and apprentices for more than 600 years, and brewed the classic style of crystal wine, which is "elegant and elegant, sweet and elegant" and has been passed down to this day.

A seat in Fang Shuijing was opened by a secret box tonight. The opening of the secret box is like the unveiling of a mobile museum. Exploration, observation, smell, harmony and taste are the ways to enter Fang Shuijing's 600-year-old secret collection. The guests opened the secret box with a 600-year-old password, approached the centuries-old significance of this ancient workshop, felt the craftsmanship of its inheritance, personally blended a glass of ingenious wine with raw materials, and savored the 600-year inheritance.

After the exploration, the dinner was officially opened. Fang Shuijing and Cai Lan, the "masters of taste", personally cooked the dinner, and the secret dishes tasted by the guests were also cooked by famous chefs from eight major cuisines, all of which were private banquets for the guests.

Of course, good food should be accompanied by good wine. At the banquet, the guests tasted Fang Shuijing's wine series, which inherited the persistent spirit of Fang Shuijing winemakers' constant pursuit of quality. After more than 65,438+0,800 days and nights of natural ripening, the unique taste of the treasure was finally created by the double exquisite technology of double-wheel fermentation and double-wheel distillation, which is worthy of being a model of Luzhou-flavor.

Art has changed people's way of life. Every creator in history has infiltrated emotion and culture into their way of life. The creative process of wine and art needs long-term accumulation, precipitation, innovation and sensitivity to life. This is the anguish and joy of the creator, which exists in time and space, in pictures and wine glasses.
