Chapter 317: Cultural Corridor
Xu Hong didn't want to talk to Chen Wei anymore, so he walked out of the room directly. Chen Weizheng, the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info wanted to practice calligraphy! Seeing that Xu Hong was gone, he immediately chased him out again.
"Xu Hong, what are you anxious about? Why don't you go again tomorrow! Today you teach me calligraphy at home!" Chen Wei saw that Xu Hong had gone out, and he was a little reluctant, and wanted Xu Hong to accompany him to practice calligraphy at home!
Xu Hong stood at the gate and looked back at Chen Wei and said, "You can practice by yourself! I'll earn some living expenses, can't I live on you!"
After speaking, Xu Hong walked out of the door.
Chen Wei looked at Xu Hong's back, and returned to his house a little helplessly, he was in the mood to practice calligraphy, or look at a 'wonderful' novel he had bought at the stall before!
--------------------------
Xu Hong walked out of the village, arrived at the bus station, and boarded a bus to the city.
Originally, Xu Hong wanted to set up a stall on the street in the city! After all, there was a crowd of people on the street, and as long as you passed by his stall, you could naturally see the paintings he painted.
But he sat in the car and thought about it for a while, feeling that it was inappropriate. You know, this is the capital, not as good as their Tiannan City. The management of outsiders in the capital is very strict, and the management of some small merchants and hawkers on the street is also very strict.
Thinking of this, Xu Hong was a little scared, he was not afraid of the chengguan, he was worried that his paintings would be destroyed by the chengguan, this is his own 'inspiration' work, if you want to paint such a painting again, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
Actually, that's what it takes to draw, you need to be inspired. It's not that if you can draw like this, you can draw every single one. Maybe the first one you draw will be better than the ones you draw later.
Xu Hong didn't want the chengguan to take away his 'precious' paintings. Don't look at it, Xu Hong's painting doesn't seem to be worth much money now, but when he becomes famous, the painting will immediately increase in value.
Thinking of this, Xu Hong wanted to change places, he couldn't go to the city, just in this suburb.
Just as Xu Hong was thinking about this, the bus arrived at a stop. The automatic language on the bus began to play a phrase that had been repeated countless times: "The Summer Palace has arrived, passengers who get off the bus please go to the back door." ”
"Summer Palace, isn't this a famous tourist attraction in the western suburbs of Beijing! I haven't been to play it yet! Why don't you go inside now, and by the way, you can also put your own paintings in it to show it, there are many tourists in this famous tourist attraction, and many people are also very fond of works of art. ”
After all, people who like art generally like to travel. Because in tourist attractions, there are generally some works of art. And the tourist attraction is a work of art in itself.
Xu Hong thought of this and immediately got off the bus.
He took the sketch and followed the flow of people to the main gate of the Summer Palace.
He went to the ticket office first, bought a ticket, and then entered the Summer Palace with the tourists.
The Summer Palace is one of the many famous gardens in the capital and is a nationally famous royal garden.
The Summer Palace, a royal garden during the Qing Dynasty in China, formerly known as Qingyi Garden, is located in the western suburbs of Beijing, 15 kilometers away from the city, covering an area of about 290 hectares, adjacent to the Yuanming Garden. It is a large-scale landscape garden built on Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain, based on Hangzhou West Lake, and absorbed the design techniques of Jiangnan garden, and is also the most intact royal palace garden, known as the "Royal Garden Museum", and is also a national key tourist attraction.
Before Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty succeeded to the throne, four large imperial gardens were built in the western suburbs of Beijing. In the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), the Qianlong Emperor used 4.48 million taels of silver to rebuild Qingyi Garden here in order to honor his mother, Empress Xiaosheng, forming a royal garden area of 20 kilometers from Xianqing Garden to Xiangshan. In the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), Qingyi Garden was burned down by the British and French forces. In the 14th year of Guangxu (1888), it was rebuilt and renamed the Summer Palace as a summer amusement place. In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (1900), the Summer Palace was destroyed by the "Eight-Nation Alliance", and the treasures were looted. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Summer Palace was destroyed again during the warlord scuffle and the rule of the Kuomintang.
In the twenty-ninth year of Qianlong (1764), Qingyi Garden was built, consuming more than 480 taels of silver. In Qingyi Garden, based on the idea of "Three Immortal Mountains on the Sea" in ancient Chinese mythology, three small islands were built in Kunming Lake and the two lakes on the west side: Nanhu Island, Tuancheng Island, and Zaojiantang Island, which were used as a metaphor for the three mountains on the sea: Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. The overall planning of Qingyi Garden is based on the West Lake of Hangzhou, and at the same time, it is widely imitated Jiangnan gardens and landscape attractions, such as Fenghuangdun imitation of Taihu Lake, Jingming Building imitation of Yueyang Tower, Wangchan Pavilion imitation of Yellow Crane Tower, Houxi Lake Trading Street imitation of Suzhou Water Street, Xisuo Trading Street imitation of Yangzhou Twenty-four Bridge, etc. The main building in the park is Da Bao En Yanshou Temple, and there is a long corridor of more than 700 meters long, its architecture and decorative paintings are quite wonderful, with artistic value and many tourist buildings. There are very few buildings in the Qingyi Garden of Wanshou Mountain in the Summer Palace, and the Qianlong Emperor visited the Qingyi Garden on the same day and never lived in the garden.
In its heyday, the Summer Palace was large-scale, covering an area of 2.97 square kilometers, mainly composed of two parts, Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake, of which the water surface accounted for three-quarters. The building in the park is centered on the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, there are more than 100 scenic spot buildings in the park, more than 20 large and small courtyards, 3555 ancient buildings, an area of more than 70,000 square meters, a total of more than 3,000 pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, corridors, pavilions and other different forms of buildings. There are more than 1,600 ancient and famous trees. Among them, the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, the Long Corridor, the Stone Boat, Suzhou Street, the Seventeen Hole Bridge, the Harmonious Garden, and the Grand Stage have all become well-known representative buildings. The Summer Palace is the culmination of traditional gardening art, with Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake constituting its basic framework, borrowing the surrounding landscape environment, full of the magnificent and magnificent momentum of China's imperial gardens, and full of natural interest, which highly embodies the gardening principle of "although made by man, it is like opening from heaven".
Xu Hong entered the Summer Palace, and then enjoyed the scenery inside for a while. After looking at some historical records about this royal garden, I have a basic understanding of this famous royal garden.
Then Xu Hong came to a long corridor next to Kunming Lake.
This promenade is also a scenic spot in the Summer Palace. On the pillars of this promenade and on the roof of the interior, there are some wonderful paintings.
Some painting lovers, when they come here, will come to admire these paintings. Xu Hong is naturally no exception, he also went to this cultural corridor first to appreciate the artistic techniques of the ancients.
The corridor is located at the southern foot of Wanshou Mountain, facing Kunming Lake, north of Wanshou Mountain, east from the Moon Gate, west to Shizhang Pavilion, a total length of 728 meters, a total of 273 rooms, is the longest verandah in Chinese gardens, in 1992 was identified as the world's longest corridor, included in the "Guinness World Records". There are colorful paintings on each beam on the corridor, with a total of more than 14,000 pictures, including landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and insects, character allusions, etc. The figures in the painting are all based on classical Chinese classics.
After Xu Hong saw these paintings, he felt that this corridor was very well designed, and people could increase their humanities knowledge while appreciating the works of art.
Today's weather is very good, it can be said that there are no clouds and the wind is beautiful, and it is a good weather for traveling. There are also many tourists visiting the Summer Palace. There are also many people who come to this cultural gallery to enjoy the works of art.
Of course, most of these people are literate people and are interested in the art of painting. If ordinary people arrive here, they may not stay, take a look, and they will leave from here.
After Xu Hong looked at the paintings first, he placed his paintings at the entrance of the corridor. At all times, people pass by here and can see it.
When Xu Hong placed the painting in an open space at the entrance, many passers-by stopped to admire it.
"Hey, this young man's painting is very good! ”
"Yes, it's very special, I painted a decorator, I still don't have much wind like this. It's very earthy, and it makes people think about it. ”
"This painting is called 'Dream'. It's really good that ordinary people can have dreams! Is it true that only college students are allowed to have dreams, and ordinary migrant workers can't have dreams!"
"Well, the young man's painting skills are still very pure? And it is very about observing life, such a painting, it must be living with the migrant workers, so that it is possible to capture a poetic moment in the life of the characters. ”
Sometimes, like photography, painting is about capturing a touching moment in life and creating it, which is a poetic painting. ”
"No, the ancients paid attention to seizing a certain moment in life when composing poems, and then described it delicately and touchingly, such poems are good poems. ”
"That's right, it's the same with this painting, only by capturing a moving moment in life and depicting it, it is a good painting. ”
-------------------------------
When Xu Honggang put the painting on the ground, many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and also pointed and made some comments on the painting.
It's just that these people just talk about it, and they just comment on the painting, and none of them say they want to buy it. It seems that he is just showing off his ability to appreciate paintings in front of others.
Xu Hong just listened quietly to everyone's discussion, and he didn't say anything.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed decently dressed in a neat black suit came to Xu Hong's painting, he looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Young man, are you selling this painting?"
Xu Hong listened, looked up at him, and said in his heart: "You are not nonsense, why don't I sell this! It's okay, can you enjoy it for free!"
But he can think like this in his heart, of course he can't say it on his lips. After listening to other people's nonsense, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes, I am a stall painter, selling some paintings to support my family." ”
"Well, is your painting very good? How much does it cost, I want to buy it." The middle-aged man seemed to be very interested in Xu Hong's paintings, so he wanted to make a move.
Xu Hong looked up at the middle-aged man again, and then confidently stretched out a finger.
"A hundred!"
The middle-aged man regarded one of Xu Hong's fingers as a hundred. Because Xu Hong is a stall painter after all. The paintings of the painters who generally practice stalls, that is, at this price, are at most a few hundred yuan a piece, and it has to be a big painting. And the painting in front of Xu Hong's eyes is just a small painting. In the eyes of middle-aged men, this hundred yuan is also appropriate.
Thinking that one of Xu Hong's fingers should refer to a hundred yuan, the middle-aged man immediately took out a hundred-yuan bill from his body and handed it to Xu Hong.
He felt that Xu Hong would happily accept the money and then give him both hands for painting. So I happily waited for the painting!
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Hong looked at the hundred yuan in his hand, then shook his head and stretched out another finger.
"Why isn't it a hundred, is it a thousand!" As soon as the middle-aged man saw Xu Hong's posture, he felt that he might be a thousand.
Without waiting for Xu Hong to say anything, the middle-aged man began to count Xu Hong.
"Young man, you are just a stall painter, how can you be so expensive, who will buy it! I look at you, you should sell it to me for 100 yuan! Think about it, you can make a hundred yuan by painting a picture casually, which is already good, compared to those migrant workers who work hard in the workshop, you are already much stronger. Don't be too greedy, you want a thousand, and no one will buy it. ”
The onlookers next to him listened to the middle-aged man's words, and they also whispered on the side.
"Yes, this young man, isn't he too greedy? Isn't it okay to sell a hundred yuan, but if you sell a few pairs a day, you can make hundreds of dollars! Why do you want a thousand, do you still want to make a fortune by referring to this?"
"No, I've never seen a stall painter like this, do I really think I'm a great painter? ”
It seems that these people next to him also felt that Xu Hong was a little too much, and they spoke for the middle-aged man!
The middle-aged man listened to it and was also very proud. felt that Xu Hong was too much, and he shouldn't have asked him for a thousand, maybe he would change his mind and only sell it to him for a hundred yuan.
Xu Hong listened to these people's discussions, and he suddenly said loudly: "You all guessed wrong, my finger is not a hundred, nor a thousand, but ten thousand!"
As soon as he said this, he immediately made all the people around him stunned. They all looked at Xu Hong with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe what Xu Hong said just now. One by one, the jaws have been dropped. (To be continued.) )
