Every successful painter must complete the transformation from technique to Tao, from insect to butterfly, which is a painful and long-term process that requires a lifetime of energy to deepen his education.

Today I read an article written by him, "The True Color of Landscapes, Green and Eternal", in which he talks about techniques and Taoism, quotes scriptures, analyzes them in detail, and penetrates into them, from the influence of Confucianism and Taoism on aesthetic concepts to the germination, inheritance and contemporary development of green landscape painting; From the artist's spiritual sustenance and emotional destination, to the pursuit of charm, artistic conception and the improvement of taste and style of green landscape painting. It embodies Huawei's perception of the nature of nature and its reflection on the ontology of art. I am impressed by the fact that a young man born in the 80s wrote such an insightful and in-depth article, and I am optimistic about him if I work hard and develop according to this.

In the title of Huawei's article, the words "the true colors of mountains and rivers" are used, which have profound meanings. What is the true color of landscape? It is "green" and "green". When Chinese talk about mountains and waters, the most common words used are "green mountains, green water" or "green water, green mountains". Since ancient times, Chinese people have regarded often facing the green mountains and green waters, appreciating the green mountains and green waters, and living between the green mountains and green waters as the greatest happiness and enjoyment.

Landscape painters are even more fond of green mountains and green waters, they take creation as a teacher, clear the taste between the green mountains and green waters, do the main body of the heart of the cognition, measure its wonder and take its truth, should be able to understand the spirit.

In recent years, due to the unsustainable and extensive economic development mode and the one-sided pursuit of GDP at the expense of the environment, the mountains are no longer green, the water is not green, and the sky is not blue in many places! Hua Wei and other green landscape painters use their works and true feelings to call for me to return the green mountains and green water! In his pen, the mountains are still green, and the water is still green! It embodies the true nature of this young painter full of social responsibility! I hope that his works can win everyone's love, get the collection of people of insight, and hope to arouse the awareness of all walks of life to protect the green mountains and green waters, protect the environment, so that the mountains are greener, the water is greener, and the sky is bluer!
