Chapter 188: Chilling
Chapter 188 shuddered
Ku Shulan's paper-cut works are a kind of expression of the lowest people, the most real, the most simple, and the most vibrant, so it is great. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ku Shulan's paper-cut works are a flower of life that blooms after a portrayal of her difficult life.
She has been begging for a living with her parents since she was a child, she has suffered from foot binding, has not read a book, followed her mother to teach herself paper-cutting and painting, and her later marriage is not happy, her husband and young people often punch and kick her, and watch her own children be killed by disasters one by one, which is fatal to a mother, and this fatality, she has experienced ten times.
She has experienced the hardships of life, including life and death, and it stands to reason that she should be the most desperate and darkest state of existence, but she uses the scissors in her hand to cut out a rich and conspicuous life, a mysterious oriental paper-cut with light and hope.
This spirit of not being oppressed by reality and losing hope is her best interpretation of art and life, and her colorful works are like a lightning bolt that splits the gloomy and desperate life.
And when Wang Yao saw the room full of paper-cut works, he was shocked as if he had been hit by a punch on the soul, because he saw that this room of less than 20 square meters was covered with all kinds of paper-cuts full of mystery, life, tolerance and other expressions, and the whole room was built into a powerful spiritual art world belonging to Ku Shulan.
There is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to see through the truth of life and still love life.
And Ku Shulan vividly interprets the traditional memory of life in paper-cutting.
And Ku Shulan's paper-cutting skills have broken many traditional shackles, such as the use of color and collocation and composition, you can hardly believe that this is an old man from the old society who doesn't know a word can match it.
Ku Shulan's innovation in the concept of paper-cutting, if the Chinese totem culture, as well as witchcraft, religious beliefs and other uses, these are the most primitive and pure cognition of these cultures by the working people at the bottom, so it will be shocking.
Art comes from life!
A true artist is not groaning without illness, but expressing the most real life, whether beautiful or hopeless, through his own yearning for hope, which is art, not a commodity endowed by value.
Folk art has always been at the bottom of the society, especially concerned about the ten-year turmoil, under the slogan of defeating the ghosts, snakes and gods, not only destroying the poetry and songs, but also depriving these working people of the most basic extracurricular activities, so that the interests and hobbies of the people at the bottom of the Chinese nation for thousands of years have been burned.
This is a major blow to the culture and history of the entire nation.
Ku Shulan's life was miserable, only paper-cutting was her only faith and source of life, so she called herself the lady of flower cutting, but with the convergence and Westernization of mainstream aesthetics and entertainment, this local traditional skill was discriminated against.
It is a blatant momentum, thinking that paper-cutting is dross, old-fashioned, not into the stream, I don't know who spreads this distorted values, not only so that handicrafts have 369 and so on, even the craft has 369 and so on?
Could it be that the pattern on LV is more noble than the Chinese totem pattern?
Or is it that Western paper-cutting is more noble than Chinese paper-cutting?
I have to say that the power of a generation is strong, and the discrimination of a generation is enough to make the essence of traditional culture that has been passed down for thousands of years in China suffer a fatal blow, which is the death of culture and the pain of China.
With the fame of Master Ku Shulan opening up in the world, more and more people come here, and they are all in this "purpose" for collecting works, and some want to make a fortune in the name of inheritance.
But with the repeated downturn of paper-cutting in China, this value is no longer there, the 'inheritor' to find another way to make money, the collector has also changed the goal, and the foreign culture has been formed, now in China, no one seems to understand the value and importance of art, can not really understand the meaning of art, in their eyes, only valuable and worthless, two concepts.
This is different from Western countries, where people who understand art will protect and inherit it, while the current Chinese people will only squeeze the last trace of value of traditional art for profit.
People who don't understand art in Western countries stay away from art and don't comment on it in vain, after all, not everyone can understand what Fauvism, Abstractionism, and Imagism are, but they don't go back to belittle and ridicule.
But the Chinese people are different now, as long as this so-called art is no longer valuable, then it is garbage.
Equating value with art and culture, which seems to be very different from the etiquette state of China.
As for the dross, the current Chinese people seem to absorb it quickly, and as for the essence, they may reject it.
This is also the most obvious symbol that the Chinese civilization has been impacted and is in the most critical moment, and it will take hundreds of years to repay the debt, which is the proof of history.
Contempt for culture and contempt for art will make a nation lose its integrity and foundation, because the particularity of the nation's culture, art and heritage is the greatest capital and confidence, and there is no one.
Master Ku Shulan's love for paper-cutting comes from life, and she has never thought of turning these things into money, and has achieved the highest level of art, 'not for utilitarianism, but for happiness'
Paper-cutting can bring her fun, bring spiritual satisfaction, and is the motivation for her to live, so she is 80 years old, and she still has inspiration to start editing.
That's what makes her respectable and awesome.
But such a respectable person could not even meet the most basic food and clothing for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and her family did not have any nutritional products, not even meat and eggs, and it was not an exaggeration to be destitute.
All her works are displayed in museums in various regions, and are regarded as a kind of capital to show off her beauty to the world, and she does not survive in this crowded and filthy little earthy medicine, suffering from a stubborn illness without medical care and treatment.
What a great irony and despair this is, for an international artist who has made such a great contribution, but she can't be given the nearest guarantee, she has no fault, and she has merit.
Could it be that it is just for a hero?
Thinking that Ku Shulan's international fame was so famous that she rushed to report and interview people all over the country, but she didn't care about the artist, but only cared about the value of her artwork, which made people feel chilled by the indifference of the public.
What's even more chilling is the reporters, who get the materials, but they don't even get the most basic remuneration, let alone the museums that donate their works, they make a profit by commercially packaging the works of Master Ku Shulan, but they don't give the artist any remuneration or return.
And because Ku Shulan's family is from the countryside and has no sense of law, they are fooled by people in vain.
Master Ku Shulan's incident stimulated Wang Yao a lot, making him deeply aware of what he should do, writing scripts, buying cultural relics, these can't save most of these people who have lost their humanity, and he also knows that he doesn't have so much ability to save.
But at least, Wang Yao can save these endangered lineages and old people.
Supporting an old man is an art, Wang Yao should still be able to afford it, not to mention, he is an old man worth protecting.
Wang Yao saw the situation of this village again, the nearest school was in a town more than ten miles away, and the children of more than a dozen villages drove more than two hours to school every morning, which was very hard, compared with those students in the city who were tired of going to school, it was really different.
Wang Yao suddenly realized that most of the students who are tired of studying now may become practitioners in some positions in the country in the future, shouting that students who are unwilling to study medicine become doctors, students who shout that they are suffering in finance become accountants, and people who are bored in teaching become teachers.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yao shuddered.
Those people may not be unmotivated, but they can't break free because they are rebellious and unwilling to obey their parents' arrangements, but it can't change that they will become a tragedy in a certain industry in the future.
This possibility will make the original occupation become a perfunctory tool for making a living, rather than a basic human position, and cannot create a better social environment.
Wang Yao didn't know how many poor children there were in the Dragon Kingdom, but Wang Yao had another idea in his mind, one that was different from the current mainstream thinking, and even some deviant ideas.
If you want to change, you must have the courage to be responsible for your life.
Wang Yao touched the head of the little boy who was staring at the TV without blinking, and asked, "Huzi, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
"I'm quite a scientist. Huzi smiled without looking back.
Wang Yao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Well, I also wanted to be a scientist when I was a child." ”
"Are you a scientist now?" asked Huzi curiously.
"No, because I'm lost. Wang Yao chuckled.
"You're stupid, I can't get lost in the woods. Huzi smiled.
Wang Yao pursed his lips and smiled.
Dinner was eaten at Huzi's house, Huzi's father was a Qindi man, very honest and cheerful, and enthusiastic, pulling Wang Yao to drink some home-brewed wine, and chatting with Wang Yao about national affairs.
Huzi's mother is a virtuous woman, although she looks rough, the family is very harmonious and warm.
"Huzi Dad, have you ever thought about sending Huzi out?" asked Wang Yao.
"I've thought about it, but it's too chaotic outside, I'm afraid that the tiger won't fit in, in fact, it's good to farm at home. Huzi's father smiled, and a moment of helplessness flashed on his face eroded by wind and frost.
"I heard from Huzi that the children in the village have to walk more than two hours to school?" asked Wang Yao.
"Well, I don't need it now, I walked to the front village, and there was a school bus to pick it up, so it's okay. Huzi's father smiled, "The conditions are very good now, how could I have a school at that time." ”
Wang Yao smiled, the compulsory education that the children in the city hated was a gift to these rural children, "If, I mean, if someone is willing to take him out, are you willing to do it?"
Huzi's father was stunned, put down the wine bowl and looked at Wang Yao suspiciously, "What do you mean?
"It's not. Wang Yao waved his hand and said with a smile, "As the old saying goes, you can't starve to death when you go around, if you can let Huzi learn a skill, are you happy?"
Huzi's father glanced at Huzi's mother who was sewing something next to him, the husband and wife exchanged glances, Huzi's father smiled, "Look at what you learn, if it's really good, it's also Huzi's blessing." ”
