Chapter 174 "Zodiac Turn—Dragon Yin"

As for dreams, it is the fire of hope and inheritance left by countless sages for future generations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But it seems that this kind of fire, among the general young people, there is no sense of existence, young people like Song Qianqian, have a preference for their profession and the spirit of struggle, but they dare not put the future on a bigger stage, and even dare not have the desire to be a top practitioner.

Maybe I've been under pressure for too long.

Mr. Lu Xun said something back then.

May the youth of China get rid of the cold air and just go upward, without listening to the words of the self-defeating and self-abandoning people.

Those who can do things do things, those who can speak out,

There is a part of heat, and a point of light.

Even if it is like a firefly, it can also glow a little in the dark.

You don't have to wait for the torch to fire.

If there is no torch after that, I am the only light. ’

This passage contains a huge force and vitality, warning everyone that you should not adapt to the darkness because there is no light in the darkness, and have the dream of illuminating the darkness, so that you can be an independent and upward young man.

Just like Song Qianqian, who studied fashion design, because this is a discipline that came in from abroad, although it is similar to the traditional tailor in China, but because the mainstream of clothing design is all in the West, the entire Chinese clothing design industry is also moving closer to the West, which is a different concept in itself.

You can't blindly follow the mainstream because the West is the mainstream of fashion, why can't there be a popular fashion circle in China, even if there are many difficulties, but this consciousness should be a consciousness that every Chinese youth should have.

Why can the West but not China.

It's not about comparing who is better, it's just asking for an equal right.

In other words, it is called ambition, and this kind of qi seems to be very lacking now.

However, Wang Yao also understands, because indeed, the facts are the best way to prove everything, and there is indeed no local designer in China in the current fashion fashion circle of clothing design.

The two designers mentioned by Song Qianqian are only Chinese, and their ideas and styles are still Western.

Although this has something to do with the backwardness of the West's perception of Chinese aesthetics, but when blue and white porcelain, fans, folding fans and other handicrafts could conquer Europe, then hundreds of years later, the beauty of China will not even have the right to speak out in the fashion circle.

Lack of pioneers, lack of a character who can be an idol for these confused flowers of the motherland, Bruce Lee used martial arts to break the stereotype of Westerners towards Chinese people, so that kung fu movies have a say in Hollywood and even in the Western film industry, and then Fang Long, Li Lian and a group of kung fu superstars broke through the cocoon into butterflies, it is because of the pioneers.

In the same way, in any industry, as long as someone becomes a pioneer and sows the flame of hope, then it will illuminate the future of countless Chinese teenagers.

After all, the Chinese civilization has never been weaker than any other civilization.

Industrial civilization and Western invaders only crushed the feudal dregs of China, but they could not shake the backbone of China, because since ancient times, there have been people in China who have worked hard, people who have worked hard, people who have asked for their lives for the people, people who have sacrificed their lives to seek the law, and thousands of scholars who have died for their lives.

The inheritance of these pioneers is in the bones of each generation of Chinese descendants, only waiting for the day of awakening and hard work.

After all, Huaxia is not weaker than anyone.

Seeing those peers in the Internet café today who are full of spring breeze in the face of computer games, Wang Yaoyue feels that these peers are powerful, but their strength does not seem to know where to go, and games, as a way of catharsis, can indeed achieve a certain effect.

And Song Qianqian, as a young man who has a high consciousness, only focuses on the ultimate goal of entering the Milan fashion circle as a designer, and does not have the idea of establishing a fashion circle in China, which makes Wang Yao more realized.

Some of the problems of today's young people seem to lack a kind of self-confidence in Chinese culture, and there are no pioneers who set an example.

If it goes on like this, it's a little bit bad.

Wang Yao, who has always dealt with the previous generation, suddenly realized the problems of his peers, which made him a little anxious, because the cultural inheritance of a nation must be continued, if this generation inherits the culture of other ethnic groups, and cannot feed back the Chinese culture that has declined, it will be a slow obliteration of Chinese culture.

It is necessary to let these peers know that Chinese culture can compete with Western culture.

After coming up with this idea, Wang Yao overturned his previous positioning of the zodiac animated film, the previous positioning was to export Chinese culture to foreigners, but now he has to put the center on, with the help of foreign channels, to import Chinese culture to China.

This kind of culture has been packaged and turned into a kind of concept of 'the beauty of China in the eyes of the West', which is transported back to China, catering to the concept that most people now worship the foreign and flattering foreigners.

It is not the communication of 'Chinese culture going abroad', which is itself demeaning in nature.

The difference between the two lies in the fact that one is the pride of Chinese culture being accepted by the West, and the other is the pride of Chinese culture competing with Western culture.

One is the glory of being recognized by foreign culture, and the other is the pride of local culture itself, both of which seem to be glory, but there is a big gap at the root, if it is honored to be recognized by foreigners, then it is equivalent to admitting that Chinese culture itself is weaker than other cultures.

If you can't build up a sense of self-confidence, you'll never be able to get out of this cycle.

Of course, a sense of self-confidence is not something that is said by mouth, but by reality.

This made Wang Yao firm up on the question he asked Mr. Qigong before, how to go on this road.

Master Hongyi introduced Western paintings in order to allow the Qing Dynasty, which was closed at that time, to accept the larger world, rather than to close off the country.

However, now that we are in the era of information globalization, what we need to do is to make our own local traditional culture promotion and research work more advanced and professional, and blind introduction can only solve the needs of the moment, but cannot solve the fundamental problems.

So Wang Yao spent a night sorting out the Chinese painting styles of the past dynasties in his mind.

Landscape painting selected the painting style of Jing Hao, a painter from the Later Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, who kneaded and integrated the style of painters before the Five Dynasties, and formed a landscape painting in the true sense of the word, which made landscape painting independent from the previous Chinese painting.

Jing Hao lived in seclusion in the Taihang Mountains, watched the mountains and rivers all his life, and integrated the charm and spirit of the Chinese landscape into his bones, which can be said to be the best restoration of the landscape painting style in ancient times.

In terms of characters, Wang Yao chose Zhang Daqian's style from the freehand brushwork of Zhou Fang in the Tang Dynasty and Tang Yin in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the realistic brushwork of Qiu Ying in the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Daqian's improved style of painting that absorbed Western thinking in modern times.

Because the characters in the animation are particularly important, the aesthetics of modern people lack the appreciation of deep freehand of ancient people, and Zhang Daqian's style can be regarded as the best way to lift the ban on modern aesthetics, let Wang Yao systematize it again, try to lower this threshold, and make the style of painting 'modern'.

The two general directions were set, Wang Yao pushed away the seven sketches he had drawn one night, and these seven paintings depicted a total of 12 famous mountains and rivers, 15 figures, 7 buildings, and some fragmentary flowers, plants, stones, trees, etc., which contained about 40 painters' styles, and finally selected.

Seeing that the time was almost five o'clock, Wang Yao picked up the pen and concentrated for a while, and after ten minutes, he began to start writing, and after more than three hours of painting, he sketched an ink painting.

A sundial (gui), a sundial is a kind of timer invented many years ago before the ancient Chinese Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty was called Guibiao, and later the Eastern Han Dynasty was renamed the sundial.

The principle is to use the direction of the sun's projection to determine and divide the time, which usually consists of a dial hand (watch) and a dial face (a dial base).

The face of the sundial is engraved with Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen Youxuhai, twelve earth branches, that is, twelve hours, one corresponds to an avatar, the avatar is the zodiac, and the Taiji Yin and Yang fish are painted in the middle.

The avatar of the zodiac Wang Yao was specially enlarged, and the head of Chenlong was used to highlight the dragon's head.

In addition to this sundial, the rest of the place Wang Yao painted two rushing rivers, rushing through the five majestic peaks, the five mountains of China and the Yangtze River, the Yellow River.

In the upper left corner, there is a palace hidden in the clouds, which is drawn according to the record of the first palace in the world, 'Afang Palace', why the painting is looming, is because Wang Yao didn't think too much about what this first palace in the world looks like.

A Great Wall stretches down, around the Five Mountains and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, until the lower right corner paints the façade of the Old Summer Palace.

There are many corners of the palace hidden in the clouds and mist in this Great Wall, which are all the representatives of the capitals of various dynasties in Chinese history after Wang Yao designed by Wang Yao to unify the six kingdoms from Qin, and the Old Summer Palace is the last stop of the Chinese feudal dynasty.

Wang Yao painted this painting very carefully, but it is also a sketch, a draft of the future propaganda poster, because he has not seen the five mountains and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, as well as the ancient capitals of the previous dynasties, and he feels that he can't paint the charm, he is ready to start traveling next, visit these famous mountains and rivers, and then officially start painting.

This series of movies Wang Yao is ready to be named "Zodiac Turn", and the first part is "Zodiac Turn-Dragon Yin", the story has been thought out, like a memoir, from the mythological era of antiquity to the fall of modern dynasties, using various metaphors into every piece of history.

Why is it called "Zodiac Turn" instead of "Zodiac Biography", because it responds to the ancient theory of five virtues.

The ancient Yin-Yang family compared the change of dynasty to the five virtues, and gold, wood, water, fire, and earth were mutually reinforcing.

The classics record that "the fate of democracy, the beginning of the five virtues." Cai Yong's note: "Five virtues, the virtues of the five elements." Since Fuxi has descended, the emperors have been in succession, each according to their own line. It starts with wood and ends with water. ”

It means that feng shui rotates, so it is called turning, not passing.
