I took a closer look and said helplessly: "By the way, Xiaofei, you see that the Dunhuang murals at this moment are so colorful, new, as if they have just been painted, colorful, well-preserved, and rarely damaged, how to the modern society after a thousand years, the color of nine out of ten paintings has become much lighter, the colors are blurred, and many paintings are incomplete, you see that now they are vivid, lifelike, unified and complete, what a pity."

Xiao Fei said disapprovingly, "It was also a period when there was no way, the Dunhuang murals were painted on a layer of crushed wheat straw, fine linen knives and good mud skin, and the mud skin was directly glued to the rock, and then a layer of white lime as thin as an eggshell was smeared on top of it and polished. After thousands of years of changes, these murals gradually detached from the rocks, forming a gap between the murals and the rocks, which is what we usually call the "hollow" phenomenon. If the sand is squeezed in, the void will widen further, and if there is another earthquake, the mural will easily fall off, thus blocking the cave, plus the desert in Gansu, where the temperature changes drastically. It is reported that among the 492 caves of the existing murals or colored sculptures in Mogao Grottoes in China, there have been more than 250 caves and nearly 4,000 square meters of murals with aeratory, hollow, discoloration and other diseases, and these diseases are related to the wind and sand. Every cultural relic here should be spotless, but it is not possible to do so at present, so the culprit desert wind and sand hazard has affected the mural for a long time. ”

I thoughtfully said, "Yes, so our country should vigorously strengthen its protection, and this is the most important issue." Dunhuang is vast and profound, magnificent and magnificent, unparalleled in the world, and is a treasure house of art in China and the world. There are only four civilizations in the world with a long history and self-contained systems: Chinese civilization, Greek civilization, Indian civilization, and Islamic civilization. And these four civilization systems in the world only have one gathering point, that is, Dunhuang, these murals tell a very rich content, is a place with a vast sea of stories, rich imagination, imagination, there are elephants into the womb, the right rib is born, step by step lotus, immortal divination, over the city monk, subjugation of demons to the Tao, subduing the fire dragon, Buddha son monk, macaque honey and Sakyamuni Nirvana, etc., such a great cultural treasure, but must not be buried by the long yellow sand, we must hire a high salary to protect it. “

Xiao Fei said casually: "This is natural, you don't have to worry about the country and the people of Ziyue, countless Dunhuang workers have been racing against time, conscientious protection, they are day and night and unscrupulous wind and sand to grab time, do related finishing and restoration work, endure the unbearable loneliness of ordinary people, hardship, bad, by the way, there is a very famous, famous, thunderous name, I am very worshipped, for Dunhuang, paid his life, he is called the patron saint of Dunhuang. ”

I was extremely surprised and said, "Yes, there is such a character, I have not heard of it, I have only heard that the patron saint of the Egyptian pharaoh is the pyramid, this is the first time I have heard of it, tell me quickly, how do you know, amazing, my brother." ”

Xiao Fei said proudly: "You have long hair, short knowledge, and you are lonely, come and let my brother tell you about it, I only heard about it when the big thief group trained us in key talents, and then I read many articles on the Internet, which were written interestingly, I vaguely remembered it, seeing that you were so interested, I will tell you about it—— It is said that this person's name is Chang Shuhong, he was really famous in the art world back then, a first-class character, and I have to start with Chang Shuhong, in the eyes of our literary and artistic youth, in our hearts, are extremely worshiped characters, like Leonardo da Vinci, Beethoven, that is an unattainable figure, a god-like existence. He studied in France, studied both Chinese and Western, became famous, and became world-famous, one of his paintings could sell for millions of yuan, and the story of his life was more ups and downs than suspense novels, magnificent, twists and turns, one after another, surging, anyway, it was not dull——"

I smiled and said, "I know that your literature has been developing by leaps and bounds recently, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, but don't be so rambling and gossiping, it's better to go straight to the point." ”

Xiao Fei sped up his speech, and said quickly, as if he were talking about an allegro book: "The patron saint of Dunhuang, Dunhuang Chang Dalang graduated from the National College of Fine Arts of Lyon in 1932 with the first place in the oil painting department, and in August of the same year, he participated in the selection examination for the public scholarship of oil painters from Lyon City to study in Paris, and won the first place with the oil painting "Dressing". In 1933, the oil painting "Lakeside" participated in the Salon de Lyon and won the silver medal, in 1934, "The Sick Woman" won the gold medal at the Salon de Lyon and was collected by the French National Collection, "Portrait of Shana" was collected by the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and "Nude Woman" participated in the Salon de la Rénais in 1935 and won the gold medal and was collected by the Musée de Lyon. In the spring of 1935, Chang Shuhong, who had just passed the year of the establishment, held a personal oil painting exhibition in Paris, you see if it is powerful, Niu is not a cow, he is really a genius artist, you and I may still achieve nothing in the year of the establishment of modern society, but people are so high-spirited, smooth sailing, second into the gold, by the way, in addition, I forgot to say, he also married a generation of celebrities who are as beautiful as flowers, graceful and luxurious wives, individuals look at the photos, they are shocked, and feel that they are not inferior to Lin Huiyin, Lu Xiaoman and other characters, beautiful wives, full of children, happy and happy, mixed in France, what a winner in life, I am admired, how much the god of fate loves him。

However, just when Chang Shuhong's painting career was in full swing, he walked along the Seine River, a casual glance, changed his life, he accidentally found a booklet in a second-hand book stall, haha, are you Stephen Chow's movies watched too much, and then cranky, but I tell you clearly, the booklet he saw is not a magic palm, martial arts cheats, but a booklet bound by 6 booklets "Dunhuang Grottoes Catalogue", which is the frescoes taken by the Frenchman Bo Xi and the Dunhuang Grottoes in 1907, There are more than 300 statues. These murals and sculptures were created by Chinese art for more than 1,000 years from the 4th century to the 14th century. The vigorous and powerful brushstrokes, the majestic composition, let Chang Shuhong like five thunderbolts, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, deeply shocked him, but also changed his thinking, he woke up like a dream, completely awakened, he felt that these treasures 700 to 800 years earlier than the European Renaissance, its artistic techniques are more advanced and ingenious than Europe, but he actually knows nothing, in the face of such a long and splendid cultural history of the motherland, as an upright Chinese, as a young artist who has been resurrected with blood, he is resolutely determined to return to China to find his roots and protectto study and carry forward China's national art.

In 1942, the Kuomintang government in Chongqing instructed the Ministry of Education to prepare for the establishment of the "National Dunhuang Art Research Institute", and looked for candidates in the cultural circles, and finally selected Chang Shuhong as the deputy director of the preparatory committee. However, the conditions were very difficult at that time, the means of transportation was a green, pollution-free, environmentally friendly and energy-saving broken ox cart, the staple food was soy sauce mixed noodles, the climbing tools were ladders made of wooden sticks by themselves, climbing up and down between the caves where there was no passage all day long, crawling forward on the dangerous fence and broken bridge, and the materials were in short supply, there was no flashlight, the technology was backward, not to mention the mobile phone, the light in the cave was dim, and the candles had to be lit during the day when copying. These are nothing, what is not sick, nothing else no money, but they just have no money, the appropriation is often not in the account for several months or even more than half a year, sometimes there is no money to buy paints, it is really a penny is not a hero, for the rich children, smooth sailing Chang brother, the difficulties of the desert years are beyond people's imagination and endurance, although the Dunhuang murals are wonderful, but every day is faced with the same Gobi Desert, desert yellow sand, this monotonous and boring life can last for a long time, and the enthusiasm for dedication to art can last after allOn the eve of the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Ministry of Education announced the abolition of the Dunhuang Art Research Institute and the transfer of the grottoes to the Dunhuang County Government. At this time, the people who followed Chang Shuhong to Dunhuang were gone, and what was even more troublesome was that the beautiful wife couldn't stand such a difficult environment, the yellow wind was desert, and the population was sparse. The border is desperate, the road is difficult, life is difficult, everyone's beautiful sculptor's wife can't stand it, and finally leaves him to leave her husband and children, elopement with others, elopement in the novel story is beautiful, but in real life it is extremely cruel, Chang eldest brother's wife is separated from home, dragging children and daughters, but the grotto is full of wind and flying sky, vivid and vivid paintings, as if life still exists color sculptures, The exquisite decorative patterns have made him fascinated and forgetful, and it is estimated that most of them were possessed by those flying heavens, or the flying heavens performed soul hooking spells on him, otherwise how could he be so consistent, without regrets, conscientious, and die without regrets to stay in that barren place all his life? For the cause of Dunhuang, Chang Shuhong suffered a lot and endured all the hardships, and when he recalled the past, he said that he was not a Buddhist and did not believe in reincarnation, but if he really came to this world again, he would still be Chang Shuhong, and he would complete those works. Brother Chang was recruited home by the exquisite murals of Dunhuang, and finally died there as he wished, burying white bones in the yellow sand, Mr. Zhang Daqian warned Chang Shuhong in Dunhuang that he was gone, you are a life sentence. Mr. Chang Shuhong replied that in order to protect the cultural heritage of the nation, he was willing to be sentenced to life imprisonment. So his story particularly touched me, not everyone can be as selfless as Brother Chang, selfless dedication, self-sacrifice for the public, I think people need a spirit, need a kind of faith, I really admire him, for Dunhuang to pay too much, he is the pride of our national intellectuals, he is the pride of Dunhuang, he is immortal, he deserves to be the patron saint of Dunhuang. ”

It is also the first time I have heard such a person, to hear such an exciting and sad story, sighing, moved, he really paid too much for our country, paid too much for Dunhuang, assuming that if he does not return to China, then his personal life will be beautiful and complete, and his wife will not be separated, and he will not be so hard, and he will personally become famous overseas, and achieve higher personal artistic value, like Xu Beihong, who is well known to women and children, Zhang Daqian is so famous, but he didn't, he lost too much for Dunhuang, he didn't do it for fame, not for profit, only for the love of his heart, only for a passion, so we should build a monument for him on the desert of Dunhuang, so that his name Chang Shuhong can be known to more people in the world.
