On the Wujiang field in 2023, there is a grand and beautiful event, because it uniquely answers the question of Jiangcun's **, which should be recorded in the chronicle of rural revitalization. Since Mr. Fei Xiaotong published his sociological masterpiece "Jiangcun Economy" 87 years ago, scholars at home and abroad who study rural areas have known that there is a "Jiangcun" in his hometown of Wujiang, Suzhou, and there is a continuous stream of visits, observations, investigations, comparisons, or long-distance attention. To this day, there are still all kinds of Chinese, foreigners, scholars, professors, students, writers, and tourists, who want to come to study, collect style, and visit, and always ask curiously: What has become of that Jiangcun?What the hell is Jiangcun in?

Now, 32 famous artists, one after another, are conducting an unusual field aesthetic and field creation in Wujiang Village, where the international sociological community has tirelessly conducted fieldwork. When they left, Jiangcun was transformed into 65 large-scale paintings, "Painting about Jiangcun", which unfolded into a historical scroll depicting the style of Jiangcun in all aspects.

For nearly a hundred years, the expression of Jiangcun has been vast. After Fei Xiaotong laid the foundation of one article and one article, there were countless works in different forms such as sociology, literature, art, and journalism, showing different faces and styles of Jiangcun, perhaps all kinds of forms have already passed, but it is the first time to launch an aesthetic project to present the rich and colorful beauty of Jiangcun on a large scale and in a large production. This is perhaps a rare "country movement" in the history of art. From the Song Dynasty's "Jiangcun Picture", Van Gogh's rural paintings, to contemporary China's "Ten Thousand Mountains Are Red", etc., it shows that outstanding artists in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, have always preferred rural themes, and there are countless works that have been handed down to the world. This time, the artists' Jiangcun theme creation is not simply art going to the countryside, nor is it a general representation of the countryside, but art empowers rural revitalization. As a way to love the countryside, come from the countryside and go to the countryside.

This group creative activity is carried out through artists in Qidu, Pingwang and Zhenze, and ...... by Taihu Lake and ChangyangSketching and creating at multiple locations in various villages in Wujiang created a group portrait of Jiangcun, depicting the common feature between them - the beauty of Jiangcun. Consciously or unconsciously, these scrolls reveal the code of Jiangcun: with the key of beauty, open the Wujiang countryside and enter the paintings, they have a common name.

Jiangcun is in today's Wujiang, the hometown of Fei Xiaotong, a master of human sociology, and is no longer a Jiangcun with only one scientific name.

At that time, Fei Xiaotong analyzed and studied a Jiangcun and revisited it again and again to explore its changes and development trajectory, in order to practice the ideal of "aiming to enrich the people" and provide inspiration for all villages. He once said: "If I had a choice, I would rather go back to the peasant world and enjoy a peaceful state of mind, a stable life and a friendly environment." "The peasant world in "Painting Jiangcun" is peaceful, stable and friendly, and now it is even more rich and beautiful.

Painting Jiangcun" is the best consolation to Mr. Fei Lao, who is affectionately known as Fei Lao by Wujiang people.

Painting Jiangcun tells people that the land of Jiangcun not only produces rice, wheat, flowers and fruit trees, but also grows art, and the countryside has always been the original hometown of art"Painting Jiangcun" tells people that the days of Jiangcun are fresh, the environment of Jiangcun is fresh, and the life of Jiangcun is delicious"Painting Jiangcun" also tells people that the beauty of Jiangcun is endless, and it is always new, whether it is the sky, the earth, the village, or the people.

The countryside that can withstand repeated research has a lasting charm. Jiangcun, which has been studied by thousands of people, has a long-standing sociological research value, and in the eyes of artists, it also has aesthetic research value. The beauty of Jiangcun is not only the beauty of the environment and scenery, but more importantly, the beauty of its green ecology is being transformed into beautiful resources, beautiful economy, beautiful culture, especially into beautiful life and lifestyle, so as to form a circular transformation and mutual promotion of "agriculture, culture and tourism". The beauty of the countryside is not only created by nature, but also by the peasants in the countryside and art. Stillness and movement, light and dark, distance and near, shape and color, inject fresh and vigorous artistic life into the countryside. One of the meanings of "artistic empowerment" is about this.

More than 30 years ago, Fei Xiaotong said, "Each is beautiful, the beauty of the beauty, the beauty of the United States, the world is the same", which is not only a description of the handling of cultural relations, but also a hope for the future of the rural land. Looking at the picture scroll, each with its own characteristics and splendid, it is all the epitome and specimen of the new countryside in the south of the Yangtze River. If we can summarize this initiative, it is: a special action for rural revitalization, a wonderful practice of artistic empowerment, and a vivid record of beauty and beauty.

Painting Jiangcun will travel to Suzhou, Wujiang, Nanjing and other parts of Jiangsu, as well as Qingdao and other provincial cities. There is no doubt that this is to release a new image of Gangchon to the world in the name of art. It can be expected that every moment of ingenuity left on the picture will become a precious memory of the Jiangnan countryside in the future.
