"Anhui Week" Wuhu Iron Painting Stunts

In June 23rd, Jiang Jinhua displayed one of the seven pieces of Chinese calligraphy in Huizhou.

In just 5 minutes, the word "Hui" in Lishu has already appeared.

The blacksmith and the painter can hardly reach the edge of eight poles.

But in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, Wuhu and Anhui, Xiao Congyun, the iron Smith soup Tianchi, and the Xin'an painter, had an unprecedented "intersection". They created the iron painting, and the representative works were "Qing palace's old flowers, birds, flowers, flowers, birds, spring, summer, autumn and winter".

In the new China, iron painting became the first batch of intangible cultural heritage of the state. It has been placed in the Paris Museum of art, the Great Hall of the people, National Museum and the World Expo Pavilion in World Expo.

Yesterday, the "Anhui Activity Week" opened in World Expo, Shanghai.

There are 4 iron paintings on the front of the Chinese cultural heritage area at Baosteel stage, the 4 famous scenic spots in Mount Huangshan: Yuping building, welcoming pine, cool terrace, and dream writing.

Each meter is as high as 3 meters, and it was completed by 45 craft artists for 45 days.

At the scene of the iron painting school, the audience rounded the hammer.

Among the spectators, a little boy asked his mother next to him, "why is there no pen and ink in this painting?" Li Qing, a craftsman, explained: "iron paintings are made of iron, hammers as pens, and wrought iron as paintings."

The walls of the study area are covered with iron paintings: high mountains and flowing water, drunken imperial concubines, Primula, and pine hawk charts.

Traditional paintings are colorful.

But the iron paintings here are only black and white.

This is the characteristic of iron painting: this kind of black and white art is the most elegant and the most solemn.

At the scene, some knowledgeable viewers watched with great interest.

Chu Jinxia, a master of Chinese arts and crafts, gave his finger iron paintings to a batch of spectators: Iron paintings were made of iron, and smelted by red furnaces, and then made by forging, chisel, welding and filing techniques.

It embodies the artistic conception and techniques of traditional Chinese painting, and integrates the modeling charm of wood carving, stone carving, paper cutting, and so on. With meticulous reference to the art of gold and silver jewelry, it becomes a unique style of art.

In the early days of the founding of new China, iron painting was carried forward in the hands of Chu Yanqing, a great master.

Today, Chu's iron paintings not only inherited Chu Yanqing's skills, but also developed and innovated by his eldest daughter Chu Jinxia and his disciples, such as iron art and Chu Lai Wen, which displayed simple and elegant landscapes, characters, flowers and birds and calligraphy, and had profound artistic conception.

"Iron is the soul of musculoskeletal painting".

The reporter asked Chu Jinxia, 65 years old, Chinese painting, such as Xu Beihong's horse and Qi Baishi's shrimp, and how to make iron paintings. The master of storage said, "many of our iron paintings have been pplanted from famous paintings of famous artists, but they can hardly be copied.

Chinese painting has light, deep, far, near, virtual and real, but iron paintings can not be completed with color. Only with "point line and surface", iron painting must use "dot line and surface" to complete the artistic conception of painting, showing the reality and the distance.

For example, this "high mountain and flowing water", the fine lines represent "far", the face is on the pine tree, and the point is the pavilion's "human". Didn't you think it? And the pavilion's "people" on the stairs, so that painting has a dynamic, far-reaching artistic conception......

The Master explained that the audience nodded.

"Is it easy to learn iron paintings?" asked a high school student.

Chu Jin Xia explained thoughtfully: "I learned with my father when I was 15 years old. In the first 35 years, he pulled a box, swung a hammer and burned a stove. After a day, the whole face was black, and I never wore flowers.

A few years later, my father made me learn to paint formally. He originally intended to hone my will! "

"What seems to be the first thing to do is to eat" radish rice "for several years.

Some people pay for iron paintings, and the most expensive is the horse to success.

A mother bought her son who had just graduated from university this year, hoping that his son would work hard and have a iron will.

Here, iron paintings are endowed with life.

Perhaps this is the quality of all intangible cultural heritage.
