At the same time, he is also a Wuxi wanderer who misses his hometown all his life.
With pen and ink, we will explore the story of Zhou Huaimin, a master of Chinese painting from Wuxi.
Zhou Huaimin was born in 1906 in Qianqiao, Wuxi, Zhou's father opened a "tiger stove" in his early years to make a living, a few thin and narrow wooden water chips are Zhou Huaimin's childhood toys to fiddle with the most. It wasn't until he was admitted to the civil engineering and architecture major at the age of 15 that Zhou Huaimin's talent for painting emerged. After graduating, Zhou Huaimin chose "North Drift", cut down on food and clothing, devoted himself to art, and went to the Forbidden City to copy everyone's works as long as he had free time. In 1934, Xu Beihong personally hired Zhou Huaimin as a part-time professor of landscape painting in the Department of Chinese Painting of Peking National Art College, and became colleagues with Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Pu Xinji and other outstanding artists, which shows Mr. Huaimin's artistic attainments.
"Song painting is still a special fine hills and ravines, Yuan painting is still literary and beautiful, Tang Liu is like Li Xigu, Yun Nantian imitates Ni Yunlin, all take the advantages of the ancients, Mr. Huaimin is talented and intelligent, and his learning is deep. ”This is the evaluation of Zhou Huaimin by the grandmaster Huang Binhong.
As Huang Binhong said, Zhou Huaimin is the best at painting landscapes, and he has a special fondness for Song and Yuan landscape paintings. Collecting the advantages of the ancients and exposing the masterpieces of famous paintings, Zhou Huaimin's landscape painting art style is unique, bold and vigorous in the big place, the mountains are steep, the momentum of the hills and ravines is shocking, the details are graceful and soft, the blue waves are light and rippling, and the interest of falling flowers and water can also refresh people's heartsThe freehand and beautiful brushwork are unique in the painting world.
Leaving his hometown at a young age, the most inseparable scenery in the paintings of Zhou Huaimin, a master of the Beijing School, is the Ludang of his hometown. In his paintings, you can see the swaying and low reeds in the moonlight, and you can see the scenery of the water town where the fishermen are fishing in boats. Zhou Huaimin's works with the theme of Ludang are classic, carrying the soft and elegant style of the south of the Yangtze River and full of hometown feelings, and have become artistic treasures in landscape paintingsAnd Zhou Huaimin himself was also given the nickname of "Zhou Lutang".
Zhou Huaimin's artistic achievements are not only in the "painting", but also "outside the painting". His works are dignified and magnificent, and are often presented as "the first choice for national gifts". In 1951, 45-year-old Zhou Huaimin presented "Longevity Changchun" to the chairman;In 1952, Zhou Huaimin donated "Lutang Landscape" to the Soviet Museum of Oriental ArtIn 1953, he cooperated with Chen Banding and others on the huge "Rising Sun of Daizong" as a congratulatory gift to Stalin on the Soviet Union's Army DayIn 1958, at the invitation of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, he made a huge "Scenery Outside the Saiwai" for the Ningxia Hall of the Great Hall of the People, and a huge "Spring Rain Picture of Huangshan Mountain" for the Taoyuan Hotel in Huangshan, and Deng Tuo inscribed a poem.

Zhou Huaimin's influence in the painting world can also be seen from his "circle of friends". Looking through Zhou Huaimin's old collection, you can almost see half of the works in the modern painting and calligraphy circle. From Jiang Zhaohe, Zhang Boju, Li Kuchan, Dong Shouping, Wang Xuetao, Ye Qianyu, Wu Zuoren, Qi Gong, Tian Shiguang, Lou Shibai, Xu Linlu, Huang Zhou, Pan Su, Xiao Shufang, Zhou Sicong, Liu Bingsen, Liu Zhengcheng in Beijing, to Liu Haisu, Wu Hufan, Lu Yanshao, Xie Zhiliu, Tang Yun, Qian Junkuo, Wu Qingxia, Zhu Qizhan, Cheng Shifa, and Guan Liang in Shanghai, as well as Qian Songzhe, Song Wenzhi, Ya Ming, Wei Zixi, and Chen Dayu in Nanjing, Liu Jidian in Tianjin, He Haixia in Shaanxi, and Zhao Shaoang in Guangdong.
