Ma Weidou and Lei Jun, one is a big man in the collection field, and the other is a big man in science and technology. What can people in these two fields have in common? Don't say that the two really have a little intersection. Ma Weidou joined hands with Lei Jun to create a "single dog". The prototype of single dog is not simple. An influential painter in Qianlong period of our country has created many excellent works with the prototype dog of single dog as the material for many times. As you can imagine, Lang Shining is a court painter. Can his dogs be ordinary? So, where did this prototype dog come from? What excellent works did Lang Shining create on this basis?
Ma Weidou
It is inevitable and accidental that Lei Jun and Ma Weidou met. Don't underestimate Lei Jun, a man of science and technology. He was a serious literary youth when he was studying at Wuhan University in his early years. Generally speaking, young artists express their feelings in words. Lei Jun, on the other hand, can write a poem-like feeling by writing programs in his early years. You know, a person who doesn't know poetry, how can he have the feeling of writing a program to write poetry? Therefore, Lei Jun is a literary youth in his bones. However, Ma Weidou was already a famous "literary giant" more than 3 years ago. When two people meet, it is not so difficult to understand.
Lei Jun
After Ma Weidou and Lei Jun met, the two struck a spark of inspiration. Ma Weidou is a veteran collector, while Lei Jun has both the rationality of science and engineering and the literary model. So hit it off, Ma Weidou and Lei Jun created a "single dog". This single dog is thin, long and thin. It is really similar to the "single dog" in life. In fact, this dog is not a foreign dog, but a famous local dog "China Fine Dog" in China. This kind of dog was a royal dog in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and its status was distinguished.

Lang Shining's works (prototype of single dog)
Qianlong loves dogs, and there is nothing to let the court painter Lang Shining use it as the material to create. Lang Shining, a foreigner, came to China not far from Wan Li during the Qianlong period and forged a deep friendship with China. Besides being an international friend, he is also a very influential painter. He has created many excellent works with China fine dogs, the most famous of which is "Bamboo Shades in the West". The dog in the picture is the China fine dog. In addition, China fine dog is also the prototype dog of Erlang God "Xiao Tian Dog" in China. It can be seen that the status of China fine dogs is not generally high.
Ma Weidou participated in the design of single dog
However, due to various reasons, China fine dogs are endangered in contemporary China. Now there are China fine dogs, which are no longer pure China fine dogs. Ma Weidou said that Lei Jun and I built a single dog. Behind this seemingly slightly ridiculous remark, I didn't expect this single dog to have such a cultural origin. It seems that the interaction between big bosses is really admirable! What level of people communicate with what level of people, the means used are also very elegant. The "single dog" created by them is really well-intentioned.

In this way, there was such an intersection between Lei Jun and Ma Weidou, which was more or less unexpected. It seems that making friends across fields often has unexpected cultural exchange effects. This single dog has entrusted the attention of two big bosses to the "single dog" group in China. Although single dog is single, she is respected in her status and has little time. After all, she is outstanding. Ma Weidou's cultural heritage also adds a somewhat different cultural connotation to the single dog created by them.
