Chapter 985: Preparing for the Art Exhibition

"What is Li De from Youzhou doing?"

Li Yuan looked at the content of the newspaper, Youzhou Amusement City is open all day in winter to advocate national fitness, and also openly invites singing and dancing artists and juggling teams from all over the world to perform in Youzhou.

Shouldn't it be important to deal with the affairs of Nanjiang City at this time, how can it be these inconsequential things.

Li Yuan was skeptical of Li De's approach, and his guess was to use boring things to divert everyone's attention.

There may be something planned behind the scenes, Li Yuan's guess is not wrong, Li De's purpose is to increase his prestige and increase exposure, so that the people can feel that the distance between their Dadu and them is not very far.

Speaking of advocating fitness, people can sometimes see Li De in the playground, and many children have been invited to play in the playground together.

The Metropolitan Governor definitely does not live in their hearts, but lives by their side.

Li Yuan's officialdom experience and good sense of smell are quite accurate, but it can be said that even if he wants to break his head, he will not know what Li De is going to do.

In winter, there are more newspapers and periodicals in Datang, and people who are okay at this time will not go out easily, so the circulation of newspapers is more.

Li Yuan picked up the latest newspaper, most of the content is to introduce the Youzhou calligraphy and painting exhibition, this event will be held after the spring planting, the key to the content is to invite the world's calligraphy and painting lovers to Youzhou to watch.

After Li De came back from Nanjiang City, he asked the painters to sort out the works along the way, the number of which was as many as thousands, and the painters were still creating after returning, so many paintings and calligraphy were enough to hold a large-scale exhibition.

The main forms of painting were very advanced and novel in this period, and there were many types of art exhibitions, not only new painting methods, but also many paintings from this period, which were exhibited together at that time.

In order to hold this exhibition, the castle guard has allocated funds for the construction of the Youzhou Exhibition Hall, which will continue to operate as the highest art exhibition hall in the future.

The capital investment is very large, and the exhibition activities are also held to make a name for themselves, and the people can come to visit at that time, all for free.

The surrounding teahouses and taverns will open activities related to the theme of the exhibition, providing a place for calligraphy and painting lovers to communicate.

The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the operation of these peripheral projects, and as long as you can participate, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

The city guard has already made a plan for the event, and the surrounding consumption of the people of Youzhou alone when they visit can provide funds for the construction of the exhibition hall, not to mention that these exhibitions have attracted many people in the industry to participate.

At that time, relevant exchange meetings will be held to provide opportunities for the exchange of factor talents.

Li De is confident that the new way of painting will attract the attention of many artists.

Li Yuan looked at the contents of the newspaper and felt that some of his ministers were quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting, and wondered if they should give it a try.

Through the exhibition of calligraphy and painting, the momentum can be strengthened, how can this kind of flower-filled activity only stand out in Youzhou.

He thought that the people of the Yan family were good at calligraphy and painting, and he was going to send them to Youzhou, and he had to boost the reputation of Chang'an.

In this era, there are many people who are vassal and elegant, and it is also a kind of atmosphere, it is not strange for Li Yuan to have such an idea, if he can make a name for himself in the activities held in Youzhou, there are many benefits.

Even Li Shimin, who was far away in Wagang, had the idea of participating, and no matter how bad he was, he would bring his calligraphy and paintings to participate in the exhibition.

No one will ever dislike a false name.

"Your Highness, it's very incomprehensible for Youzhou to suddenly hold an art exhibition, I haven't heard that the governor of Youzhou has a hobby in this area." Fang Xuanling wondered.

"What does Xuan Ling think?" Li Shimin asked.

"The purpose of holding an exhibition may be to promote prestige, and if His Highness can do so, it would be better if he can send someone to participate. Painting," Fang Xuanling replied.

This idea is exactly in line with Li Shimin's heart.

"But who's going to do it?" Li Shimin asked.

Among them, there are many people who know calligraphy and painting, but if you want to be good at some fame, you need to think about it.

"Your Highness, if you want to say that calligraphy and painting belong to Yan Lide, he is somewhat famous in painting."

"Haha, Xuan Ling and I have thought of a piece, then let Yan Lide go to Youzhou, they can do it, we can also hold an exhibition."

Li Shimin has already made plans, he knows a lot about Youzhou, and it is very easy to hold an exhibition as long as he is willing to pay for it in terms of government decrees and business.

At that time, the exhibition will be placed near the Youzhou exhibition, which can also be promoted for Wagang, and it is very good that it does not conform to the rules, and these things are very free in Youzhou, as long as they comply with the business procedures, they can be realized.

Li De didn't know that he was remembered by the Li family just to carry out some theme business, and he was completely incompetent in terms of artistic attainments, and of course doing exhibitions was also to achieve the goal.

Increase the spiritual and cultural construction of the people, appreciate calligraphy and painting, and improve some artistic accomplishments, maybe in the future, some artistic geniuses will appear among the people.

Vision and cultivation are indispensable.

The most important thing is that the benefits of art and culture are very large, and holding an art exhibition can bring many benefits, and it can also develop a new industry.

Don't underestimate the talents in calligraphy and painting, they can provide a great effect, such as the wooden plaques used by shops for publicity.

Now the wooden plaques are all carved, to say that the credit is all up to the woodcarver master, but before making the wooden plaque is needed to write out for copying to have a better effect.

The level of calligraphers and painters directly affects the effect of advertising, calligraphers and painters can also engage in drawing work, which may not have been done before, but Li De attaches great importance to the drawing of maps, and now the painters who can work in the castle guard are all highly paid, and their lives are quite passable.

Calligraphy and painting can provide pleasing paintings for the common people, and can also open an era when portraits are popular.

Li De's plan is like this, before there is no camera, it is completely possible to carry out the form of "photography".

Portraits, family portraits, single portraits, and then there is a castle guard that requires that a portrait be attached to the file of supplementary registration in the future.

For this reason, it is necessary for a large number of painters to engage in painting, and it is believed that as long as they start to have a stable job, they will be able to be widely disseminated, and painting will become a popular craft.

The role of calligraphers and painters is not only these, but also the fields in which calligraphers and painters excel are different in different styles, and the things they can ultimately engage in are also different.

Li De wanted to take this opportunity to gather some painting talents, expand the number of people in the painting class, and also wanted to train some art teachers, mainly for the training of craftsmen in various workshops.

Especially in the blacksmith workshop, Li De is very good at developing the skills of these people, but when it comes to design, it is not good, and the size and proportion of the parts are not well mastered, can you still make decent things.
