The heart is clear and self-explanatory.

The heart is clear and self-clear, and the clear will give birth to benefits", which is the Buddhist thought, the most basic spirit of the objective law, and the natural law of the Tao. All laws come from "the heart of nature, the heart of the Bodhisattva, the heart of enlightenment", as long as "quiet and inaction, weak and indisputable, with a few desires, natural and mysterious". In the theory of Chinese landscape painting, the "Analects" is quoted as "the will to the Tao, according to the virtue, according to the benevolence, and the art of the arts" is a high degree of Confucius in the system of learning and educating people, calligraphers and painters can have the state of "clear mind, knowledge, and feelings", and make unremitting efforts to achieve the Tao and sublimate.
Chinese landscape painting originated in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and occupies a leading position in the history of Chinese art. Landscape painting is the source of people's reverence for natural life, and the harmonious and symbiotic relationship between man and nature. Landscape painters get along with nature day and night, perceive the mysteries of natural physics, clear the way of view, and lie down to swim. As long as you use a pure heart and a sincere heart to revere nature, praise nature, and understand nature, you will be a responsible landscape painter.

Guan Zhiyuan is called Mr. Guan by many people, at first glance he is a business boss, and I call him the same, he is indeed a boss. In fact, he is a painter, and he is also a sincere and simple landscape painter with lofty aspirations. Guan Zhiyuan had a talent for painting when he was a child, and he was discovered by the teacher when he was in elementary school, and asked him to substitute for the art class, and draw an item such as a **tank on the blackboard for his classmates to follow. When I was young and working in the Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area, I often met the painters who came to sketch, and was attracted by their sketching works, and since then I have formed an indissoluble bond with landscape painting.

I met Mr. Guan when I was still working in Shunde, Guangdong, and he often brought my paintings to me for comments, and later became friends. I remember once he made a special trip to Huangshan to visit me and sketched on Huangshan Mountain. When sketching in Huangshan, the two of us were in the transformation of natural objects and brush and ink structure, and Guan Zhiyuan had a deep understanding. When I founded the Phoenix Ridge Art Museum in Beijing, I came to the Phoenix Ridge Art Museum in Beijing many times to meet many landscape painters across the country, and I improved my horizons and broadened my mind through learning and exchange.

Xishan Waterfall 180 * 97cm Linquan Mountain House 180 * 68cm Reading 10,000 books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, and it is better to travel thousands of miles than to be guided by famous teachers, in order to realize his dream of art academy when he was young; He put down all the work of the company and applied for the advanced research class of landscape painting at the China Academy of Art for further study, and was systematically guided by many famous teachers. He advocates nature, takes nature as a teacher, and learns from outside, and he attaches more importance to accumulation. He was once obsessed with Huang Binhong's "Five Brushstrokes and Seven Inks" painting theory, and he had to read his paintings every night to fall asleep. In recent years, Kwan Zhiyuan's works have not only frequently appeared in the elegant hall, but also participated in various exhibitions and received unanimous praise! It is he who has been close to the context for a long time, adhered to the brush and ink, unshaved the concept of the times, and comprehended the rhythm of Chinese landscape painting. The landscape paintings he created are still and moving, as quiet as a rock, and moving like waves. The work has both the atmosphere of a temple and the style of elegance.
In an exhibition, the reporter interviewed him: "Your paintings are elegant and affectionate, and the art market should be very good, right?"Guan Zhiyuan said: "I don't go to the market, nor do I deliberately cater to the taste of buyers, I can paint how I want, so that I can paint freely, painting the landscape in my heart is my life's pursuit, landscape painting is my spiritual home, is a part of life, if one day the market awakens me, I will also actively participate." In this economic society, there is such a mentality, but he is a landscape painter with a realm. I hope that he will be ambitious, clear and prosperous, I am happy for him and proud of him.
I wish him to rise to the top and go further.

Occasionally, I have to write down five articles.

1.Why is Chinese landscape painting called landscape painting and not landscape painting? Because since ancient times, most of the Chinese people have a landscape complex, and the landscape is the spiritual home of the Chinese people, which has metaphysical humanistic connotations, and is the traditional root of cleansing the soul and Taoism and nature. When we travel in the mountains and rivers, we are looking for a realm, an artistic conception that connects with the soul, not a landscape. The environment is the inner collision that makes you excited, and the scene is the external surface that passes by. There is a big difference between the two. "Environment" is difficult to be reflected in landscape paintings!

I think landscape painting is representation, while landscape painting is reproduction. Landscape painting is freehand, and landscape painting is realistic. The latter lacks a unique, Chinese, philosophical dimension that is unique to Chinese landscape painting. Moreover, only the form of Chinese landscape painting can be vividly expressed.

2.Yuan people's paintings are mostly named after dwelling, seclusion, and Yi characters, such as Qingbian seclusion, Fuchun mountain dwelling, summer mountain dwelling, Huaxi fish hide, Xishan Gaoyi, Huilu Xiaoyin ......Wait a minute. The reason for this is that the Yuan Dynasty was ruled by foreign peoples. Most of the literati and doctors are Han Chinese, with strong feelings for their family and country, and they are cultural people with strong national integrity. They don't want to be a scholar, they don't do things for the Mongols, they have no future politically, but they are powerless to resist. Only choose to live in seclusion in the countryside, escape in the mountains, chant poetry and paint, and do not ask about the world. This kind of seclusion complex was naturally reflected in the landscape paintings of the time, and the paintings and inscriptions were full of seclusion and influenced later generations to this day.
Spring Creek Yunqi 136*68cm3About pretty: When others say that your drawing is beautiful, you actually have to pay attention. The word beautiful sounds like a compliment, but in fact, it may not be, she has another meaning of charming, glamorous, and vulgar; "Vulgar" is a taboo in Chinese painting, which directly reflects the aesthetic height of the painter, while the vulgar is low in style, and it is difficult to improve. Huang Binhong said: "There are four diseases in painting, which are difficult to cure by the vulgar." There is only one prescription: read more. 4.About technique: The painter's life is spent in the trade-off, in addition to the sketch creation of the scene, there are also trade-offs in the technique and skill, the painter chooses the technique must be suitable for your own temperament, if not, no matter how many techniques are in vain. Nor can we follow the traditional routine too much, and tradition and contemporaneity are just a concept of time, and have nothing to do with good or bad. Painters can't rely on skills alone, otherwise the works will be farther and farther away from the heart, painting is to paint their own heart, and using their own brush and ink language to express their heart is the painter's lifelong pursuit. Painters all paint with "disease", and the ecology of brush and ink must be healthy, and the "disease" can be removed little by little through cultivation, and finally find their own spiritual home. 5.Regarding the difference between Chinese and Western paintings: A friend asked me this question, first of all, the tools and materials are different, the framing and perspective methods are different, Chinese painting is scattered perspective, Western painting is focus perspective, Western painting is more realistic, Chinese painting is more freehand, from the higher level of Chinese and Western painting, Western painting is science, Chinese painting is philosophy; Western painting gives people image perception, while Chinese painting gives people more enlightenment and spiritual purification; Western painting talks about technology, and Chinese painting talks about skill; You can become a master at the age of eighteen when you paint Western paintings, and you may not be able to become a master at the age of eighty when you paint Chinese paintings. Western paintings are called looks, and Chinese paintings are called products; Western painting is reproduction, Chinese painting is preaching; Western painting makes people excited, and Chinese painting makes people have an epiphany. ......I don't know if I can explain it clearly.
