Those who have left their homeland and hidden the wisps of nostalgia in their pen and ink, creating for their hometown is the return of the spirit and the need of the soul.
In 1988, Zheng Xianfeng was assigned to work in Linyi after graduating from Qingdao Arts and Crafts School, and in 1994, Zheng Xianfeng resigned and went south, since then the north and the south have been separated.
Zheng Xianfeng, a sketch at the foot of Zeng Zishan, said that his artistic enlightenment came from his ingenious mother.
Painting, cutting shoes, and drawing insole patterns for the neighbors, this is a thing that the mother comes to know during the busy farming period, fruits, flowers and birds, pillowcases and purses, and the beauty of life are all embellished and decorated with the simple and gorgeous colors created by the rough but extremely dexterous hands of the pair of hands that are rough because of labor.
In 1982, Zheng Xianfeng, who was in high school, borrowed the school's undemolished earthquake-proof shed to start his art study. Although at that time, because of the rural area, information blockage, far from the real artistic consciousness, but interest is the best teacher, it is precisely because of the guidance of interest, so that he did not stop learning, in 1984, he was successfully admitted to Qingdao Arts and Crafts School.
When I was in high school, I was in the studio.
In 1994, Zheng Xianfeng resigned and came to Foshan, first to do toy design, and later to open a toy factory, their products are widely popular, once sold to Europe, America, Japan and South Korea and other parts of the world, he said that this period of time is to survive and start a business with peace of mind.
In 2008, when the financial crisis hit and the export of toys was blocked, he did not lose it, but felt a real emotional throbbing - finally the time came to return to art from business.
In 2008, he entered the advanced research class of the School of Chinese Painting of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts under the tutelage of Professor Zhang Yan, and began his professional study and creation process of landscape painting, and from 2012 to 2014, he studied for the postgraduate class of the School of Chinese Painting of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. During this period, they also devoted themselves to copying the masterpieces of the past dynasties, and realized the profundity of Song and Yuan Dynasty paintings and the essence of landscape techniques. Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is also included in their copying course as a representative work of green landscape painting. In 2013, they visited the exhibition "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" at the Palace Museum in Beijing, and felt the shock of this masterpiece up close. In order to learn the use of green pigments, they went to ** university to learn the production and use of mineral pigments, and learned the painting techniques of thangka.

In 2014, Zheng Xianfeng's first bazaar work "Good Times" created with the Yimeng Village Market as the background came out, which reflected the creation of the real scene of the Yimeng Bazaar opened the door to his homesickness hidden in his heart, and it was also the beginning of his retrospective look back at Yimeng and Yimeng's creation, since then, the Yimeng Village Market has become the preferred image of his artistic creation, and in 2019, his "Yimeng Bazaar" series was selected for the 13th National Art Exhibition Shandong Works Exhibition.
Good Times
Yimeng Bazaar. He said that rural children, everyone has a market complex, especially those who have experienced a period of material scarcity, and the market should be the most profound scene in everyone's childhood memory. The tents are overlapped and crowded, and there is no need to deliberately paint, but only simple brushwork, which has the power to shake people's hearts—the whole mystery of art's triggering of the viewer's sense of beauty lies in the emotion.
The theme of Yimeng, once returned to the hands of a wanderer who is far away from Yimeng's homeland and is deeply attached and looked at from afar, the artistic meaning in it will be endless.
As early as 2013, Zheng Xianfeng had a vague idea during his copying of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains": Wang Ximeng's heart has his "thousands of miles of rivers and mountains", and I also have my "Eight Hundred Miles of Yimeng" in my heart. For this reason, he will return to Linyi several times a year, Pingyi is his hometown, his hometown is at the foot of Zengzi Mountain, and he knows almost everything about the changes of Jiujian Shed, Menglianggu, Guimengding, Daqingshan, Yihe Ancient Road, and Linyi. The thousands of hills and ravines in his chest are his hometown of dreams-Yimeng.
Eight Hundred Miles of Yimeng" Creation Sketch In 2018, he completed the collection of the green landscape of "Eight Hundred Miles of Yimeng" and officially began the creation of line drawings.
The epidemic that began in 2020 prevented him from returning to his hometown several times a year as usual, and while visiting his parents, he also collected ideas and ideas, which inspired him even more to create.

Although all kinds of masterpieces with Yimeng as the background emerge in endlessly, such a huge green landscape scroll should be unique for Yimeng, for Zheng Xianfeng, this is from nostalgia, into a foreign land
The top of Mengshan Mountain. Dedicated to the times and dream-like, such as pondering, looking back now, all his previous artistic accumulation and artistic experience are actually preparing for this "Eight Hundred Miles of Yimeng" green landscape.
