The guests at the meeting had a heated discussion on the innovation and development of peasant painting.
Rooted in the countryside, peasant painting has strong characteristics and distinctive characteristics of the times, reflects the profound history and cultural heritage of the countryside, and is the carrier and expression of China's excellent agricultural civilization. From September last year to the end of the year, the "Prosperity of All Industries: Chinese Peasant Painting Exhibition" has been held in the "Hometown of Peasant Painting" in Altay in Xinjiang, Dongfeng in Jilin, Qingdao in Shandong, Huai'an in Jiangsu, Hubei in Shaanxi and other places, and more than 20,000 peasant visitors have visited the exhibition. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the organizer of the exhibition held the final exhibition at the Beijing National Cultural Palace, which attracted widespread attention from inside and outside the industry.
Experts pointed out that the excellent works created by peasant painters on display in this exhibition cover the vivid pictures of "rural whole scenes" such as agricultural production and life, folk customs, natural landscapes, rural features, and rural industry prosperity, depicting the natural beauty of the beautiful countryside, depicting the hard work and laborers, embodying the spiritual life of the masses, and showing the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in the field of agriculture, agriculture and agriculture.
Experts said that the success of this peasant painting exhibition shows that the holding of the peasant painting exhibition can not only build a platform for peasant painters to serve rural revitalization, but also find a starting point and carrier to promote the revitalization of rural culture. It is hoped that more activities such as the Chinese Peasant Painting Exhibition will be held to promote the whole society to pay attention to, support and develop China's excellent local culture, help the cultural industry to flourish and farmers to increase their income and become rich, and to enhance the civilization of rural customs.
Experts emphasized that the development of peasant paintings requires not only the establishment of online and offline sales channels, but also the extension of product lines and the extension of the industrial chain, so that more farmers can benefit from the creation of peasant paintings. At present, the average age of intangible cultural heritage inheritors is on the older side, generally more than 60 years old, and in view of this situation, the inheritance of peasant paintings is becoming more and more urgent, and it is necessary to mobilize institutions and people, including research units, to approach the group of peasant painters and study how to better inherit peasant paintings. In today's world, international people-to-people exchanges are relatively active, and the role of culture in people-to-people exchanges can be given full play to promote peasant paintings to go abroad to the world.
