Lang Jingshan's Personality Achievement

From 193 1 to 1939, Lang's works were selected into 265 international photography salons, with a number of 755. By the end of 1948, there were more than 300 international salons, with the number exceeding 1000. Among them, the highlights of photography occupy the majority.

In order to reflect the different "qi" of time and space, Lang Jingshan invented complex "high-light photography" and won the praise of "there is a picture in the shadow and a shadow in the painting". An exhibition of Qingjiang River in Xiaoji is an expression of "Qi" in Zhuangzi's pursuit of an empty place. The night scene presented in Returning to the Ship in Lu 'an is one of Lang Jingshan's representative works to capture different atmospheres at different times of the day. The coming of spring, created by the master in 1957, uses oblique dead branches and shiny vases, and uses lighting technology to make a still life picture with no shadow at all, showing the feeling of beautiful spring. The branches in the picture bend upward, which makes the blank space below "pneumatic", which accords with the truth of "the coexistence of reality and reality" in China culture.

Lang Jingshan entered Shanghai Shenbao and Shanghai Times successively, becoming the earliest photojournalist in China. Although a photojournalist, he is good at copying paintings. Drawing lessons from the "six methods" of traditional painting art, he devoted himself to studying and giving full play to it, and took many scenic photos with the charm of China ink painting, forming a unique and handsome style. These works have been well received by people. At the age of 34, he became the first photojournalist in China. Two years later, together with Mr. Huang Bohui and others, the "China Society" was established in Times Building, which was the first photography group in southern China, just in line with the "Light Society" in the north. In March of the same year when "China Society" was founded, Lang Jingshan also held the first exhibition of works, which was the first fashion of photography exhibition. Two years later, he began to be a lecturer in the photography class of Songjiang Girls' Middle School, which is probably the beginning of the formal photography course of China School.

Lang Jingshan had many groundbreaking works in his life. For example, in 37 years of the Republic of China, China's first national photography society "China Photography Society" was founded, and it was also the first China person whose photography works appeared in international exhibitions. But of course, he was most praised for his "highlight photography" created at the age of 47.
