Chapter Twenty-Six: The Meaning of the Painting

The first person to introduce her painting was Xun Huanting. Her painting is an ordinary landscape painting, with the mountain as the main scenery in the painting, and many details have been added to it to make it more realistic.

But the most attractive thing in the painting is not the mountains, but the various spirit animals and people with different postures in the painting, which are scattered throughout the picture, adding a lot of vitality to the whole picture.

In short, Xun Huanting's paintings are obviously dominated by mountains, but the protagonists are indeed all kinds of creatures, giving people a peculiar feeling.

"Since it is 'mountains and rivers in the painting', it is natural to show you a piece of mountains and rivers. What I depicted in my painting was a scene I had seen before, a place full of life, so I painted it, and I hope you will enjoy it. ”

Next, it was Ouyang Yan, who was the opponent, to show her work. Her painting is not a landscape painting, but a secular painting. In the picture is a bustling street with many different shops.

However, unlike ordinary secular paintings, the people on the streets in the paintings are not from all walks of life, which are very different, but all of them are basically the same people, but their demeanor is different.

"I painted the streets over there, which is where we live. For me, that's my 'mountains and rivers', and that's my interpretation of this theme.

As for this painting, you all know it clearly, I paint another set of buildings, and it's really not good to draw people, so everyone will just look at it. ”

Ouyang Yan's words obviously meant that she had admitted defeat.

After the results of the voting came out, it was no surprise that Ouyang Yan lost. Ouyang Yan didn't react to this, she also knew her level, and it was already very good to have someone to support her.

Then it was Xu Qianming who came to introduce his paintings. When he was about to introduce the place, everyone didn't know how to react, because what he was drawing was nothing else, it was the scene when he was painting. There are so many martial arts platforms, but only one has four people painting, and they are surrounded by disciples who are meditating.

"I don't need to introduce what this painting is, right? This 'mountains and rivers' is the scene, and the current grand scene of our Tai Azong is this exchange conference, so I drew it, I hope you like it." ”

Finally, Zheng Yunfeng. Zheng Yunfeng's painting is very special, it is obviously divided into two halves, and a little change has been made in the middle to make the two halves more obvious and demarcated.

The background used in these two halves is the same, and the approximate position of the characters is similar, but the expressions and gestures are opposite. There was chaos on the left, burning and looting, but on the right there was peace. Other than that, there is only an extra pen on the right.

Everyone can understand what is drawn, but as for painting...... It's just the extent to which you can see what's what. If you really want to find faults, then you can only say that there is nothing wrong.

However, now everyone doesn't care about this, they just want to know the meaning of Zheng Yunfeng's painting.

"This is the first time I've done a painting in public, so I wanted to express a little bit of my thoughts, and this painting is actually related to my original intention of painting.

This brings us to one of my brothers, who once came back from a trip and told me what he had seen and heard. One of the things that sticks out to me to this day.

The senior brother said that he went to a strange country, and it was clear that many of the people in this country were like the left, living in dire straits, frightened every day, and unable to escape from the vast sea of suffering.

However, the poems and paintings on their side do depict a peaceful and prosperous world. Everyone is praising the emperor for governing the country and having a house, and he is a virtuous king.

Later, the senior brother found out the reason. Because those who can pick up pens and paint are all upper-class people, they can't see the suffering of the people at the bottom at all.

Therefore, what they depict is the beautiful scenery on the right, and they depict the mountains and rivers they paint, not the real mountains and rivers.

Since then I've been thinking about what we should depict since we still have the time to paint? Now, I have my own idea: what we need to depict, in addition to what most people see, but also what we need to depict that is overlooked, or deliberately hidden. I think that since we have the strength to speak out, and we have the leisure to speak out, we should use our own pen and drawing to speak for those who are not able to speak up.

Okay, that's all I want to say. As for this painting, that's all I have at this level, and it's already a high level to be able to paint like this, so take care of it. ”

After Zheng Yunfeng finished speaking, everyone in the audience fell into thought. Especially those who are usually idle and playing, and suddenly feel that they have a sense of mission, perhaps, they can do more meaningful things with their pen and drawing?

Then it's time to vote, and the result...... Everyone supported Zheng Yunfeng's views, but did not support his paintings. His paintings are very meaningful, but from the perspective of painting alone, it is really difficult for people to accept.

In the end, both disciples of the branch sect won, while both disciples of the general sect lost.

If it were other sects, maybe the disciples of the sect would have to laugh at it, but this is a Taoist sect, and this activity was originally to let everyone have fun with harmony, so it naturally ended peacefully.

When it was over, the morning's activities were over, and the six were back in their quarters.

"Yun Feng, I didn't expect you kid to have quite an idea. Do you know how touched I was when you said that...... I feel like you're finally enlightened, and you're thinking. ”

"Sister Yan, don't think that I can't hear you when you say that, you mean that I didn't have a brain before and couldn't think. ”

"Look, you're smart......"

Ouyang Yan said when she saw Zheng Yunfeng glaring at her.

“...... Okay, okay, I'm not kidding, but you really surprised me when you suddenly said that, I don't usually see how you behave, it's a lot of thought. ”

"I only had these thoughts after listening to Senior Brother Zhang Hun's words. ”

"It turned out to be that bastard brother, he still owes me fifty taels of silver, when did he come back?"

"Just last time...... Didn't he tell us a lot of things when he came back? It's just that I heard that I wanted to learn how to paint, and I told it alone. Speaking of Senior Brother Zhang Hun, I really don't know what he has experienced and can tell those things. ”

"Yes, every time he comes back, he always tells us that it's dangerous outside, and always tells us that people's hearts can't withstand temptation, do you remember what he used to say?"

"Of course I do...... No matter how much you know, you will never know where a person's upper limit is, nor where is a person's lower limit. In the same way, you won't know where the upper and lower limits of this world are. It's scary to hear. ”。

"Yes, yes, there is also the saying: the Pure Land and Hell exist at the same time. When I think about it a little, I always feel that we still don't see much. ”

At this time, everyone noticed that something was not quite right with Feng Yan's expression, and they didn't seem to be very happy.
