Introduction to Sun Huaibin's Works

Lingbi Zhong Kui's painting originated from the exorcism dance initiated by Xuanyuan Huangdi, which is the spiritual pillar for healthy qi to overcome evil and has a profound cultural accumulation. The portrait of Zhong Kui by Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty is a classic painting with profound inheritance, which has been playing a spiritual and cultural role in China's long history. Lingbi Zhong Kui's paintings are full of composition, majestic in shape, "prevailing in the Five Dynasties", with flying lines and stunning colors, which reproduces the magnificent and exciting painting style in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. With the spread of folk activities in China, it has continued to this day. Therefore, it is known as a "living fossil" and is cherished by experts and scholars at home and abroad. For example, Qi, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, wrote in the book "A Copy of Famous Mountains Collected in Zhong Kui": "In the Tang and Yuan Dynasties, Zhong Kui dreamed of beheading ghosts and was terminally ill. Because he ordered Wu Daozi to paint his portrait, he traveled all over the world. Yuan Zong said, "If you dream with me, changing your smile will be very successful.". Wu Daozi's paintings can communicate with God, and they are as legendary as the world, and gradually lose their truth. The paintings painted by Lingbi are often not divorced from the original style of Wu Daozi, so they have always been pushed by the world. " Lingbi Zhong Kui's paintings are not only the classics of Tang Dynasty's paintings, but also the important material contents of Chinese ruling and opposition folk customs in past dynasties. Therefore, it has the dual value of spiritual culture and aesthetic function, and it is increasingly precious. 19 15 years, at the Panama International Expo, the armor "No Phase" and "Exorcism Map" selected by Ling Bi won the gold medal and won the reputation of international painting circles. However, after liberation, Zhong Kui's paintings were banned only because of the dross of "exorcising evil spirits and eliminating diseases", which led to no one dare to paint for more than 30 years. With his profound understanding of the origin and evolution of local culture, and his amazing wisdom and courage, Mr. Sun Huaibin actively excavated and rescued the painting of Lingbi Zhong Kui, and finally made this flower of folk art rooted in Lingbi fertile soil for a long time break through the ground, reborn in the fire, and proudly bloom in the bright sunshine!

Lingbi's traditional Zhong Kui painting is a typical image art in China. It retains the artistic form of China's traditional deep spirit, and it is a treasure of China art worth exploring and inheriting. In order to excavate and inherit the tradition, Mr. Sun Huaibin inherited the extensive and profound paintings of his predecessors, deeply studied the modeling characteristics and facial features of Lingbi's traditional Zhong Kui paintings, and inherited the authenticity. In painting techniques, Sun Huaibin inherited the vigorous lines of Wu Daozi's "Five Dynasties as the Wind" and laid the foundation for modeling with ink lines as the bone. With his superb seal script skills and solid modeling skills of figure painting, he is ready to be perfect. In terms of color setting, he combined the meticulous painting advocated by literati painting with the Zhong Kui painting method of Lingbi folk artists in previous dynasties. Strong use of color, stunning color is absolutely brilliant, and several layers of drying and dyeing will stop thick. It presents a magnificent atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and glows with the brilliance of ancient oriental culture.
