The content expressed in this painting is divided into two parts, i.e., the upper and lower parts, the upper being heaven and the lower being the lower part. The upper part is the sky and the lower part is the water. The sphere presented in the painting plays the role of a finishing touch in the painting. From the sphere, we can see all the ideas and concepts expressed in the painting, and these ideas are reflected in the picture through abstract or figurative means, and the "lines" drawn in the sphere express the central idea of the painting. Look at the mood of the painting: the operation of the sky and the flow of the river on the ground in just the opposite direction, which is exactly the "litigation" hexagrams expressed in the Yi meaning: the upper hexagrams for the sky, the lower hexagrams for the water. Heaven and water against the line of each go their own way, the Judas back to the road, each other on the public court, which is the general symbol of the world litigation.

The meaning of this painting is: no matter what, we must follow the laws of nature, do not violate the natural development of the routine, the violator will cause a lot of unintended consequences. It is also the theory of litigation as stated in the I Ching. At the same time, it is also recommended that people do not get too angry when they are infringed upon, and should be good at retreating rather than fighting for strength, i.e., advocating the idea of "no litigation" to settle disputes and to turn disputes into peace, hoping that things can be put to rest. Even if there is a lawsuit, it should be mediated in a neutral way, no lawsuit is no matter, no matter is no blame, no disaster will be no auspicious!

Interpretation of "Peeling One"

The scene expressed in the picture is divided into two parts: i.e., the upper part is the mountain and the lower part is the earth. The sphere in the center serves the same purpose as the spheres in my other works. The "lines" depicted in the sphere are the golden key to deciphering this painting. And then look at the "peel one" painting in the sphere painted "lines" can be seen in this painting is the "I Ching" in the twenty-third hexagram in the "peel" hexagram. The content expressed in the picture: the weathering of mountain rocks, soil erosion. The peeling off of the mountain has no choice but to be attached to the thick ground, which is the symbolism of the "Peeling" hexagram. The monarch should strengthen the roots of the foundation to protect the country, just like building a house, only when the foundation is solid can there be no worry about the wind and rain. The painting reproduces the profound meaning of the twenty-third "trigram" of the I Ching: "The gentleman is still news, surplus and emptiness, and the heavenly line", which is the way of the heavenly line. That is to say, even if the society of some villain so rampant stripping, the result is still self-destruction, this is a law. Peeling is an inevitable phenomenon in the law of change, but it is not the mainstream after all, no matter how unscrupulous he peeled or it will be criminalized. The painting reflects the central idea, that is, the "I Ching" twenty-third hexagram "peel" the central idea. Some people look at some of the corruption in society, think that the society is corrupt, see an official is not clean, think that the whole world officials are not clean, this is biased, do not see the big picture. The key problem is still not see this natural development of the law of news, surplus and deficit. Since there is a law, it is inevitable that there is a villain to strip, and at the same time, it is not stripped. Even if he is peeling, it looks crazy and harmful, but the whole country he can not peel. Partially it looks like a lot of stripping, but globally it's nothing, and in the end he will be cured. It is not the world that strips him, but he strips himself, and this is the law. Heaven acts also, heaven acts in the way, only the way is not afraid of stripping.

God-like wantonly painted - I know the young oil painter Yang Yongzhi

Wen: Chen Yi Yi

Last spring, in the "two sessions" of the CPPCC group discussion in Dianbai, a long hair, wearing two "Rendan" beard of tall and thin, silent gang in the corner to listen to others speak. This spring, "the two sessions" he attended on time, or low-profile sitting in the back row position. People say he is Dianbai Ma Gang people, in Guangzhou as a professional oil painter. Modest, not ostentatious, is his initial impression on me. Later, in May by the county CPPCC cultural and sports group organized some members to Chongqing and the Three Gorges visit, is some of his "details" such as do not forget to bring painting tools on-site oil painting sketches of the Three Gorges scenery, in the Baidi City, found that the roots of the ancient wall has a wonderful moss color, that is, squatting down to take close-ups with the camera and so on. I am also interested in art, from that moment only began to pay attention to him ......

The elephant is invisible, the big sound

In fact, Yang Yongzhi has long been in the Guangdong painting world, in the words of the former vice chairman of the Guangdong Fine Arts Association, the former vice president of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Yin Dingbang, "Yang Yongzhi, a young abstract painter of China's new century. China's young abstract oil painting artist of the new century!" Indeed, with modern abstract fusion of traditional ink to create oil paintings, not many people in China, Guangdong is even less, and in the abstract paintings in a unique way to explore the creation of successful "new Chinese oil painting landscape", I am afraid he is the only one! His and Xiong Bin, Liu Nian three "after seven O" at the same time in the "Guangmei" immersed in the "RSD southern professional oil painters combination", in early May in Guangzhou 2012 the second Guangzhou Art Trade Fair in early May in Guangzhou, the organizers called "new national oil painting" and became a major highlight of the fair, and caused the interest of a number of print media, the South TV "Art Appreciation" to "oil painting three Musketeers" as the title of their respective special reports, the South Metropolis and South TV at the same time. The program was broadcasted by Southern Metropolis and Southern Satellite Television at the same time.

On June 3, 2012, the seventh stop of the RSD group's national tour exhibition was held in Zhuhai Daxiangshan Museum of Art, and I finally had a chance to see the long-rumored creation of this legendary group. Yang Yongzhi. Liu Nian, Xiong Bin's works each have their own artistic characteristics and artistic pursuit and attracted widespread attention. Especially in the spacious and dimly lit exhibition hall, the intoxicating mellow red, deep blue, cool yellow and crisp white of Yang Yongzhi's oil paintings were so eye-catching! The beautiful abstract paintings made the guests stop and stare for a long time. I very much appreciate Yang Yongzhi's unconventional and innovative ideas, he dares to integrate ancient and modern Chinese and foreign perspectives, taking traditional and modern media, groping in the creation, groping in the innovation, to take a road of their own characteristics, and gradually establish their own artistic ideas. Yes, his creation on the wide open, seemingly romantic and unrestrained, but with his solid artistic foundation, and his diligent creation is inseparable. It is because he has traveled thousands of miles over the ancient Silk Road in the Western Regions and thousands of miles of the frozen North, so he can do as God as wantonly colorful paintings, with a flood of color, restore the Western Regions and the magnificence of the North scenery - whether it is the high mountain waterfalls, the ice field or clouds or the rising sun and red soil, the blue lake, the cold moon, in the multi-media auxiliary and harmonization, put and take the freedom! He has magically transformed oil paintings into the amazing effect of traditional ink, and the landscape paintings of the Song Dynasty are unforgettable and intoxicating, as if listening to the voice of wisdom drifting through time and space.

Browsing through Yang Yongzhi's abstract oil paintings of landscapes, the landscape paintings of Xu Qinsong, another great master of Chinese painting, always flash in his mind. Mr. Xu, whose works and honors are equal, is unparalleled in his familiarity with southern landscapes. His many years of hard work in the ink sea, the pen of the mountains and rivers, mountains and mountains, fog and sea and clouds, although not a color, do not paint a person, but the panorama of the momentum of the pound, everywhere silent thunder. This and the same accumulation of thin hair, the scene is spectacular and compelling late Yang Yongzhi is the same, there is a striking similarity, each other change only color, different only creative, Yang Yongzhi just the landscape abstraction. The elephant is invisible and the sound is loud. Wandering in front of Yang Yongzhi's works, no one will doubt his ability to master the color and grasp the aesthetic space of creativity.

Bidding farewell to the hustle and bustle, Yang Yongzhi is hiding in the wild

In the Red Lychee season, the day after the RSD group's exhibition in Zhuhai, I rushed to Guangzhou to interview Yang Yongzhi with Mr. Peng, the general manager, and Mr. Huang, the editor of West Coast Art. Coincidentally, there was also an interview team from Dianbai TV station that came from Dianbai's hometown on the same day.

Before coming to the original thought that he just chose the more secluded troops in the old barracks as a studio, I know that all the people who have been to his workplace are shocked, breathtaking. It turned out that he was also a hilarious snail living in Guangzhou, Henan, Xiaozhou Village, where crowded nearly three thousand people engaged in painting, there is no lack of masters and masters. It is also because the village of Xiaozhou painting more prodigal son of the air field Wang, his studio is often full of guests, tea during the day to discuss the road, drinking at night to release their feelings. Three years passed by in a hurry in the exchange of cups, and he was annoyed that he couldn't dive into his creation. At this time, a businessman surnamed Li, who appreciated his talent and his paintings, asked him why he was depressed and worried about his intention to go. He put his heart out, said in this rare time to create, too many external interference factors, want to find another place. Quick and generous Li said he was in Huadu and from the neighboring area of a few hills, where the mountains and water, is a good place to live in seclusion and painting. The two of them hit it off immediately, to the site to climb a look, wow! Four sides of the rolling hills, Lilin dense, really unique scenery! Due to the nearby Guangzhou Military Region, a year-round use of the training base, the only way up the mountain is to go through the army camp, there are soldiers guarding the gate, so the safety is absolutely no problem. With the help of Mr. Li's efforts, he started to build houses, open up the land for farming, fishing on the lake, once alone in the mountains over the "Nanniwan" life for a year.

Today, in the company of an honest man, Ah Zhong, who is a good cook and a good car driver, Nanniwan has been gradually transformed into the Guanxi Terrace Mountain Resort. I remember the "Shishu Xinyao" has "will not have to be in the distance, cataract forest and water, have their own Hao, Pu want to also feel the birds and animals, fowl and fish from the kin." It seems to say that this is the place. It is said that the big hidden in the dynasty, hidden in the city, small hidden in the wild. Yang Yongzhi although away from the city, avoiding the mundane matters, but his reputation outside can not stop people who appreciate his name to visit. We came to interview the day, in addition to another television media, and Sanshui City, a big boss of the hotel industry surnamed He came to order him a large painting. Inside the studio also hangs two large oil paintings, is the "Haier Group" of the president of the order, the other side said: money to pay for the painting to put you here to show show.

Yang Yongzhi's residence and studio built in the mountains with the shape of a half-slope, because the Liuxi River has a source from the bottom of the mountain, so since the nickname: Guanxi Terrace. In addition to electricity, the rest are ecological and environmentally friendly. Lonely empty mountain, in addition to his assistant Ah Zhong, as well as his wife occasionally from Shenzhen to visit, accompanied by the army to send a German "black back" big wolf dog, the armed police to send a Belgian "search dog", a black and a yellow two dogs, four kittens, two learning tongue Grackles, a group of chickens, can be called the modern people free "paradise", this high lying horizontal sleep natural living method is really envious of others. Although it is not a fire in July, the outdoor heat, burning wind, but in his wide fall in the painting room but do not feel hot. He said that the house was surrounded by thick walls and the roof was insulated with bark, so it would be a waste of the natural environment to use air-conditioning. Suddenly I noticed the bare tree roots carved into the tea table surrounded by nothing, the tea brewing water from where to draw, and where to drain? After a few pointers, I realized that the "direct delivery" teapot water is drawn from the spring from the ground through the room, the waste tea water is also directly from the ground drain - this is common with us from the mineral water barrels to receive water, the waste tea water flow to the coffee table next to the spare bucket and then carry away to be poured out, his drainage design! is so skillful! A green vine wrapped around the tea table, so that the brown roots of the tea table revitalization, the beautiful host Amin very curious: "Is not plastic? How did it grow?"

The wind and the moon are ****, but not necessarily everyone can enjoy it. In this scenery and things are quite a lot of effort, are reflected in its aesthetics of the mountain village, as long as the people who have come to linger. Don't underestimate the humble mountain painting room, admire the name of the mountain, come to observe the creation and drink tea and chat, there are military officers and soldiers, there are cultural and media workers, there are big entrepreneurs and ordinary employees, there are civil servants and villagers in the neighborhood. In these intentional and unintentional tea and chat, he often captures the sparks of the exchange of ideas between the Yangchunbaixue and the lower-class people, and is aptly used to inspire future creations.

With a good wife at home, what more could a husband ask for

I asked Yang Yongzhi how this trio came about. Did the three letters of the alphabet mean something else? He said that R.S.D originated from the first letter of the pinyin of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", the representative of traditional Chinese culture, and the reason for this form of alliance is to promote traditional culture, to create oil paintings as a profession, and to learn from the teachings of ancient sages and sages, "to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue the learning of the past saints and to open a peace for the world". For the sake of the world, for the sake of the people, for the sake of the past saints, for the sake of the peace of the world". When it comes to the combination, it is also the inevitable in the accident. He said that Xiong Bin is the planning sponsor of this combination, he wanted to find two like-minded, creative style of different, but the Zen meaning of the oil painters to form a "new nationalism oil painting" alliance. When he found Yang Yongzhi, the first was Yang rejected: "I am afraid of ganging up and burying heaps, only to move away from Xiaozhou Village, hiding here to meditate on some creations, you let me go!" When the other side again and again to find him, and explain that this combination of advantages and disadvantages, will not affect his creation, Yang nodded and agreed to "out of the mountain".

On his "once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple on the mountain, there was an old monk in the temple," long years away from his wife and children, lonely life, I asked: "Wife can understand you?" He said. His wife understands, but also very supportive, often with a pair of children to see him on the mountain. Speaking of his wife Shao Jiamei, really worthy of a good wife. He and his wife for the same electric white people, the two know in the micro-time, since childhood, like art, and is a classmate. Maybe people who like art are more precocious, they have been in high school "towing hands". After the college entrance examination, this pair of lovers temporarily separated, Yang Yongzhi went to the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Shao Jiamei enrolled in the Maoming related e-commerce, after graduation, Yang Yongzhi began his career as a professional painter and Shao Jiamei went to Shenzhen to do the computer layout design work, hard work to earn money to finance the art of Yang Yongzhi's dream. After marriage, has a very good art background of Shao Jia Mei, changed his career to open a gallery, do back to their favorite thing to do, Longgang Dafen Village opened a relatively large gallery. She said her gallery never sold her husband's paintings, because Yang Yongzhi's paintings are too expensive, often more than 100,000 yuan. But her husband's paintings are never sold out, and often the deposit is collected for six months, but the painting is delayed.

I asked Yang Yongzhi why he risked his career to paint abstract oil paintings when he was originally comfortable with traditional oil paintings. Sincerely, he answered truthfully: First, to express their own ideas, painting traditional things, the object is almost fixed in the landscape and figures ......, there will not be too many changes. Only the abstract, there is no constraints of the box; Secondly, the abstract works of art, is the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom so that the viewer to view and do not get tired of thinking and different. Moreover, I have entered the most mature stage of forgetting myself.

Yang Yongzhi has finally come out of his predicament, the world is wide open, and he is constantly rushing to participate in major art exhibitions and related authoritative auction activities. I also finally understand why he is obsessed with the creation of abstract oil paintings, and do not regret as a life choice - all because a successful man behind a woman who loves really. What more could a man ask for when he has a good wife at home? Interestingly, his children, who are in junior high school and elementary school, have also inherited their parents' artistic cells, and are all interested in painting, so a few years from now, will the Yang family have "three greats in one family"? It's hard to say.

This is the impression that the maverick Yang Yongzhi gave me from the inside out.
