After the almost legendary contact between Baidu’s marketing department and the famous Thangka painter Shirebu, the author of the Qingming Festival homepage logo, we were once again impressed by the profound wisdom of national art. After consulting the painter, we can give a brief description of the artistic elements in the picture:
The eyes represent profound wisdom and calmly observe the world; the flowers represent blooming life; the hands represent the power of compassion; The Mani Pearl (the treasure on the blue flower holder) represents the most precious thing in everyone's life. These symbolic groups
present the meaning of life and philosophy of life. On the day of Qingming Festival, it may be the most appropriate expression for us to present this painting poem with timeless wisdom.
What is thangka? Introduction to the author
The famous lama painter Shirebu has extensive Tibetan cultural heritage. He is a painter of Labrang Monastery in Gansu and has a deep understanding of Thangka art. Many famous Tibetan Buddhist monasteries have his handwriting.
His works express a supernatural and mysterious realm, creating spiritual works of art. Before making each thangka, he must meditate first and recite Buddhist scriptures while painting, so that his heart will be peaceful, his mind will be calm, and his energy will not be scattered. The works drawn in this way are dynamic. Shirebu painters undergo a retreat every winter.
