Return to traditional Chinese culture, enhance the sense of identity and pride in Chinese culture

After reading the biography of Xu Beihong, I was y touched, and my heart was overwhelmed with admiration. I like to read biographies, from which I can see my own shadow, and find spiritual inspiration. Previously, I was obsessed with the world-renowned geniuses of the Western world, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Monet and other masters of the arts, but I seriously understand the stories of Chinese celebrities and find that Chinese art is no less than Western art, which I like very much as well, and I have matured into a person who knows how to be more tolerant and understanding.

I have to self-criticism, can not be immersed in Western culture and art, but should return to the embrace of Chinese culture, and strive to accept, to have the national cultural self-confidence, enhance the sense of identity and pride in the Chinese culture. In this era of fragmentation, in the outside world in the age of impatience and superficiality, many times, in fact, is not bad, just know too little, understanding is too one-sided, preconceived ideas, habits, and do not understand, so it is a total denial, and a little bit of knowledge when you think you already know, think about it is quite ridiculous.

Xu Beihong is great, his contribution to China not only lies in his amazing, valuable works of art, but also in his indelible contribution to China's art education.

In Xu Beihong's works, "Prancing Horse" is my favorite, from which I got my pen name "Black Horse", and Leo is my English name, the combination of Chinese and Western is my direction, Xu Beihong is the perfect example of the combination of Chinese and Western in the art world, the spirit of the spiritual and intellectual mentor.

I am eager to start from Xu Beihong, from the art back to Chinese culture, in-depth understanding of Chinese art, I am ready to read the biography of Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Zhang Daqian, to understand the Pan Tianshou, Li Keran, and other big names in the Chinese art world. The works of these great painters, the auction price is in the tens of millions, hundreds of millions of sky-high price.
