Tell me about Ji Bolun.

Haji Ji Bolun (1883 65438+1October 6-1931April 10) is a Lebanese writer, poet and painter. He is the main founder of Arabic literature and one of the pioneers of the new Arab literature road in the 20th century. He is regarded as an artistic genius and the proud son of Lebanese literature.

His main works are Tears and Laughter, Prophet, Sand and Foam, etc. Ji Bolun, Lu Xun and Rabindranath Tagore are pioneers of modern oriental literature to the world. ?

Ji Bolun comes from a Maronite Catholic family. I have never received a formal school education since I was a child. Later, he and his family moved to America. When I was studying in America, I showed my artistic talent. After that, my interest turned to literature, first Arabic, then English. Influenced by Nietzsche's thoughts, Ji Bolun's literary works are full of sociality and oriental spirit, and are not plot-centered, aiming at expressing rich emotions.

Ji Bolun's paintings are full of romanticism and symbolism and occupy a unique position in the Arab painting world. He created about 700 exquisite oil paintings in his life, most of which were collected by American Art Museum and Lebanese Ji Bolun Memorial Hall.
