The Great Wall (Wu Guanzhong) Changhong (Zhan Jianjun) The Sixth Ode to the Great Wall (Yu Shao) The Great Wall (Li Jian)

Wu Guanzhong's "Great Wall" is a modern ink painting, where the Great Wall is simplified as an abstract symbol, but this does not affect the author to express the momentum of the Great Wall galloping between Shan Ye with lines of appropriate density. The contrast between black and white is interspersed with a little red, and the simple and bright colors are full of fresh and modern atmosphere. Yu Shao's Ode to the Great Wall No.6 is a traditional China landscape painting. The author shows the majestic momentum of the Great Wall surrounded by mountains with traditional hook, dot and dye techniques and distant layout. Li Jian's Great Wall is a realistic oil painting, which truly reproduces the desolation and precipitous beauty of the Great Wall in winter. Zhan Jianjun's Changhong is a modern oil painting with strong personal feelings. The gloomy horizon, unpredictable sky, mountains and the Great Wall constitute a magnificent and extraordinary scene, showing a kind of pride of "being independent of the world and being a disciple of heaven". These four works with the theme of the Great Wall can't replace each other because of their different understandings of the Great Wall and different ways of expression.
