Artistic complex

Yunnan is Ding Shaoguang's artistic life base and second hometown, and Xishuangbanna is his spiritual home.

Yunnan has an important influence on Ding Shaoguang's life, and Xishuangbanna is his dream place. Ding Shaoguang first came here when he was still in college. At that time, the mainland experienced famine caused by natural disasters for three years. In Xishuangbanna, a paradise, Ding Shaoguang strongly felt that he was in another world with a bright future, and felt a totally different emotional appeal from the Central Plains, with its primitive, natural and simple beauty. This deep aesthetic feeling is attracting and calling him, and he has found a place to get rid of dust and get rid of vulgarity, return to nature and find his own position here. Xishuangbanna has since become an important turning point and starting point of Ding Shaoguang's artistic career.

In Ding Shaoguang's mind, Xishuangbanna is a proud land and a temple of art, where the sun is shining, the trees are lush, the colors are rich and colorful, and everywhere is full of vitality. The ethnic minorities living here are very distinctive. Colorful folk dances are simple, elegant, varied and distinctive, which are displayed in front of Ding Shaoguang's eyes and shake his heart.

Ding Shaoguang's half-year life in Xishuangbanna has an important influence on his future artistic path, where he planted a complex of liking Yunnan.

In the early 1960s, with Ding Shaoguang as the pioneer, a group of outstanding graduates from fine arts colleges were assigned to work in Kunming. They get together to learn painting skills, discuss theories and communicate. Even in the storm of the Cultural Revolution, it is sometimes discussed in the evening. This group of young artists is headed by Ding Shaoguang, who influenced the young people around him with his passion for art and the spirit of innovation and exploration.

decorative style

Ding Shaoguang's works have a strong decorative style, and the outstanding sense of form attracts the viewer's vision, and the feelings expressed are vivid and attractive.

The decorative style of Ding Shaoguang's paintings should be said to be a process of natural exploration, the result of his extensive research on China's traditional art, folk art and western classical and modern art, and the result of his poetic understanding of life.

In Ding Shaoguang's works, we can see that he extensively absorbed the decorative composition of Dunhuang frescoes, stone reliefs and brick reliefs of Han Dynasty and bronzes of past dynasties, and combined with the composition methods of western modernist painters, formed his decorative composition. In composition, he made extensive use of China's perspective method, forming a unique perspective style that is both traditional and modern. Appreciating Ding Shaoguang's works really makes people feel that his efforts in color are extremely profound, and he blends eastern and western colors with ancient and modern colors, which is gorgeous and complicated, reaching a touching level. He is worthy of being a color master in the world today.

The formation of Ding Shaoguang's decorative painting style has indeed experienced a long and arduous life and artistic tempering, step by step. Wang Anshi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once wrote this sentence: "It seems the most bizarre and stubborn, but in fact it is easy and difficult." Ding Shaoguang struggled in the arduous exploration. He doesn't pursue strangeness, let alone making his works incomprehensible. He pursues plain, concise and simple expression, but in essence, he uses his true feelings and love to make his works enter a rich, profound and meaningful world.

Artistic practice

Ding Shaoguang said: "China has a rich and splendid traditional culture and a very broad artistic path, and every art can be innovated and found a new path. For example, painted pottery, bronze ware, jade carving, lacquer painting, woodcut, paper-cutting and shadow play in China all have different artistic shapes, which can inspire diverse inspirations to achieve deeper attainments, and should not be limited to literati painting a road. Although westerners who value color can distinguish and appreciate the realm of China's ink painting, western painters have their own schools and styles, each of which is unique, and everyone can find their own style through innovation and breakthrough. If you want to gain a foothold in the international painting world, you should first absorb western modern art from the perspective of modern painting, then go back and reflect on your own cultural background, stand on the basis of your own nation, and then return to modern art, so as to find a way out. If you have been standing still, standing conservatively in China, not appreciating other people's culture, and not paying attention to other people's progress, you can't go out. "

Achievements and honors

Ding Shaoguang is currently an honorary professor and visiting professor at more than ten universities at home and abroad, the president of the International Artists Association of China and the first president of the World Artists Association of the United States. Governments and social organizations of various countries awarded Ding Shaoguang dozens of awards, such as honorary citizen, golden key and naming Ding Shaoguang Day. 65438-0996, approved by the Ministry of Culture of China, Ding Shaoguang Prize National Art Exhibition was held in China Art Museum. China, the United States, Japanese, French, Singaporean, Taiwan Province and Hongkong published Ding Shaoguang's paintings respectively. 1995 The Works of Ding Shaoguang published by NHK Press won the gold medal in world cultural exchange.

Ding Shaoguang's love story

In the last six days, our unit 10 people traveled to Yunnan, and Lijiang took a bus back to Kunming for several hours. The tour guide Ronaldinho told us the story of an educated youth, which touched everyone.

Ding Shaoguang is one of the most influential artists in China in today's painting world and the spiritual leader of Dian School in China's modern art movement. His works successfully combine the characteristics of oriental classical art and western modern art, and his work "White Night" has set a record for a living China painter so far.

First, the situation will be finalized.

(1) At the age of twenty, Ding Shaoguang was transferred to Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. This vast red soil plateau is covered with subtropical forests, beautiful mountains and waterfalls. There are 25 ethnic minorities living there. Ding Shaoguang soon fell in love with this beautiful and rich red land. He likes painting. After work, he went out to paint with his sketchpad on his back, painting the mountains, water and people here. In his eyes, the ethnic minorities here have simple folk customs and different dress customs, and their lives are as colorful and lively as national dances, showing elegance and innocence everywhere.

One day, after work, Shao Guang came to the hillside at the east end of the village to sketch with a drawing board. Suddenly, he felt his eyes lit up. He saw a young girl taking a bath in a pool not far from here (Dai women here all take a bath in rivers and pools). Her waist-length hair poured down from her head to her waist like a waterfall, and a ray of sunset reflected on her smooth and delicate skin, reddening her face ... what a beautiful photo of a beautiful woman taking a bath. The legendary fairy will find a quiet place to take a bath on earth and never want to be hit by herself. Unconsciously, he picked up the brush and began to draw. He wants to leave this fantastic scene with a brush. ...

When he put away his easel and prepared to go down the mountain, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Hello! Who allowed you to draw it? " Looking back, Shao Guang was a girl who had just taken a bath. She is elegant and free from vulgarity, with slanting hair and a A Dai skirt. Shao Guang saw her embarrassed and couldn't say a word, just like being caught red-handed. When the girl saw it, she pointed to the picture in his hand and said, Go, leave the picture. Shao Guang looked at her work, and with a wave of his hand, it was lifelike. The girl above is very beautiful, really like a fairy taking a bath. I really can't bear to part, but I feel wronged when I see the angry girl who came to my eyes. After all, I stole the painting. In desperation, I had to give her the painting. The girl took the painting and didn't pursue it again. She soon disappeared behind the hillside. ...

(2) This day is a "fair" day. Early in the morning, people gathered here from all directions. The market is crowded with bustling people, and the villagers in the village take out all valuable things to trade in the market. The market is very prosperous. The Dai family has a girl who has just grown up. Cardamom is early in February. It is the custom of the Dai people that when a girl reaches the age of finding a partner, she will bring the cooked old hen to the market on the day of the fair, which shows that she can choose her husband freely. If she is interested, smart young people can come forward and strike up a conversation. If a girl is in love, an old hen is a delicacy for a young man. After eating the chicken, a marriage is settled.

Speaking of this day, Shao Guang had nothing to do after breakfast, and he also wanted to visit the market to see if there was anything he needed to buy. As he walked, he looked in all directions, and suddenly he felt that a familiar figure flashed in front of him. When he looked intently, it was none other than the person who painted "The Beauty Showing Bath". When she looked at this side with a slight smile, Shao Guang's mind immediately saw a beautiful summer dusk, and the calm water surface was covered with the sunset glow all over the sky. A beautiful girl was half naked on the water, and her hair flowed down like a waterfall. ...

Thinking of this, Shao Guang got up the courage to walk up to her and asked, "Do you still know me?" The girl blushed and said, "Yes, you also come to the fair?" "Well, come and sit if you have nothing to do." "Is the chicken around you for sale?" Shao Guang asked, pointing to the chicken next to her. "No, you can eat when you are hungry." Shao Guang was really hungry after hearing what she said and smelling the fragrance floating out of the jar. She joked, "Did I really eat it?" "Eat," the girl said and took out a small chair to sit him down. Shao Guang is welcome when he sees it. He sat down and began to eat. The girl was happy to see him eating. She looked at him with wide eyes. Shao Guang was embarrassed and blushed. "You can eat, too. I can't do it alone. " "Very well," the girl answered simply.

The two of them were eating, chatting and laughing in the street, and they were very happy. After eating chicken, the girl said, it's still early. Let's go and play in the Woods ahead. Shao Guangshun looked in the direction of her finger. Not far from here, there is indeed a small forest, green and far quieter than this bustling market. She should be happy to say, ok, let's go there.

When I arrived at the grove, the girl introduced herself and said, My name is Han Yu, and I am a Dai. What about you? What's your name? Shao Guang said: Ding Shaoguang is an educated youth here. My home is Gucheng, Shaanxi. After the introduction, Han Yu told Shao Guang about the engagement custom of the Dai people, and said that I have never forgotten it since we last met. Today, you ate my chicken, which means you are engaged to me. What do you think of this?

Hearing this, Shao Guang suddenly froze. God, it turns out that this chicken can't be eaten casually. Where does he know the mystery here? Standing there, blushing and at a loss. When Yuhan saw it, his bright eyes shone under thick eyelashes, full of tenderness, and his beautiful face shone in the sunshine from the treetops. Shao Guang looked at her graceful charm, delicate and charming appearance, pity. In fact, he knew in his heart that he had secretly liked her since he painted her last time. "My fair lady, a gentleman is good". Such a gentle and beautiful woman is just around the corner. Who else can I talk to besides her? Shao Guang didn't want to hide his feelings, listened to his inner voice and said to Han Yu sincerely. I like you too. Since I ate your chicken, I will be responsible for you according to Dai customs. After Yu Han listened, a hanging heart was put down, and two young hearts collided tightly, sparking a spark of love.

(3) With the nourishment of love, the monotonous and boring life of Shaoguang educated youth becomes rich and colorful. In that sweet time, the spark of inspiration burned in his young passion. After work, he drew a lot of sketches and gradually formed his own style. There is no windtight wall in the world, and Han Yu's parents soon learned about their daughter's love affair with educated youth. Han Yu is the only daughter in the family and is regarded as the apple of her parents' eye. She has never been wronged since she was a child. Now my daughter has fallen in love with the educated youth from the city. Is there a good result? What will Han Yu do when he returns to this city? In order to be responsible for her daughter's life and be afraid that she will be hurt, her parents resolutely oppose the relationship between Han Yu and Shao Guang. Han Yu knows his parents' well-intentioned, and he is afraid of being abandoned, but he has been possessed by love, and he will stick to Shao Guang anyway. Parents have no choice but to take tough measures and lock Han Yu at home and are not allowed to go out. Shao Guang was on pins and needles when he learned about it. He knows that Yuhan is stubborn and won't give in to his parents. He knows more about how much Yu Han loves himself. The feeling be nasty under he also care a lot, for the sake of jade Han, he had to crustily skin of head to jade Han's home. When he arrived at Han Yu's house, he assured his parents that he would never let Han Yu down wherever he went in the future, and he would marry her even when he returned to the city. After listening to Shao Guang's confession, parents know that they can't beat their daughter. Looking at Shao Guang's good looks, they reluctantly agreed. However, if you want to show off, you must remember your promise. You can't be wronged by Han Yu. In love and marriage, the winner of the struggle between parents and children always belongs to children, and Han Yu is no exception. The parents immediately lifted the ban on their daughter, and the two young people hugged each other tightly. Like Where Are You Going, Han Yu fell on Shao Guang's shoulder and burst into tears. Shao Guang's eyes were moist. He whispered in her ear and said softly, It's okay. Your parents agreed to our relationship. Don't worry, I will love you for life. Yu Han heard Shao Guang say that his parents agreed and smiled through tears. In order to be with the person she loves, she won a decisive victory in the contest with her parents. In order to shorten the distance between Yu Han and Shao Guang, Yu Han asked Shao Guang to teach her to read and understand newspapers and letters over time, which made Shao Guang very happy. He loves Han more and more. She is not only beautiful, kind, hardworking and intelligent, but also dedicated to herself. More importantly, she has an enterprising heart. Sometimes after dinner, the two of them climb the hill at the eastern end of the village together and sit on the hill to watch the moon. The stars in the sky blinked at them. These two beloved people cling to each other and whisper endlessly ... Under the nourishment of Shao Guang's love, Han Yu becomes more and more lovely. With Han Yu's love, Shaoguang's life is full of bright sunshine. How many envious eyes did this sweet lover greet? How many people are jealous? When winter comes and summer goes, the days in love fly. In a blink of an eye, Shao Guang has been decentralized for three years. On this day, the old branch secretary brought a registration form for Shao Guang to fill in, saying that the commune recommended him to go to college. Shao Guang jumped up happily. His dream is to enter the Academy of Fine Arts. Finally, the opportunity came. After filling out the form, he ran to Han Yu's house and told Han Yu the good news. Jade Han smiled happily after hearing this, but her eyes were full of tears. She knew in her heart that the bird would fly high sooner or later, but she didn't know that time came so fast. For three years, they were inseparable, just like one person. I can't stand the sight of separation. Seeing her like this and thinking of leaving her sweetheart, Shao Guang was also very sad. He took Han Yu into his arms, kissed her affectionately and said, Han Yu, if you don't agree, I can stay with you forever without going to college. "No, you should go. That's where you should go." Han Yu said eagerly. Shao Guang said: Don't worry, no matter how far I go, I will come back to marry you. Han Yu nodded. "I will wait for you to come back." Then he said: from now on, you do nothing. I'll arrange everything. All you have to do is study for the college entrance examination wholeheartedly, study hard and pursue your future. Looking at Yu Han being so sensible, Shao Guang couldn't say a word, but just hugged her tightly and refused to let go, fearing that she would fly away as soon as she let go, which strengthened her determination. Where can I find such a girl who has a deep understanding of the effect? I am lucky to meet such a nice girl in Ding Shaoguang this life.

(4) Review, test, wait, time passes in anxiety. Finally, on a sunny afternoon, I am looking forward to the admission notice. It is the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in Beijing. Shao Guang has loved painting since he was a child and has been insisting on it for many years. Now, his dream has finally come true.

In the evening, he invited Han Yu to the grove where they first met, and excitedly showed her the admission notice, so that his sweetheart could share the happiness with him at the moment. Yu Han took the notice and stared at Shao Guang affectionately, mumbling, Shao Guang, this is not a dream, is it? Shao Guang hugged her and said with a smile, this is not a dream, it is true. I'm going to college. Yuhan put her arms around Shao Guang and said, I knew you would pass the exam. Your painting is too good, even if it is professional, it will not be better than your painting. I just hope you don't forget our engagement. I only love you in this life. No matter how far you go, my heart will always follow you until death do us part.

Shao Guang saw tears in Han Yu's eyes crying for you, and a warm current surged all over his body, holding up Han Yu's beautiful face. He looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky and said, "Han Yu, I swear by the moon that I will never marry Ding Shaoguang in my life." . Even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will come back to you and marry you. Say that finish, two people hug to each other and cry. Yuhan took a piece of jade Guanyin from his neck and solemnly handed it to Shao Guang. This jade Guanyin is an amulet given to me by my mother. It is a family heirloom. It can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. I will give it to you today as my mortgage, so that it can protect your safety. Shao Guang thinks this gift is too heavy for him to bear. Just as he hesitated, Han Yu took the jade, put it around Shao Guang's neck, and said sadly that in the future, when you see it, just like seeing me, the two of us will never be separated.

Shao Guang searched his whole body, but didn't find anything decent for Han Yu. Finally, he took out a pen from his coat pocket. This pen was sent back to him by his father from America when he was in high school. Been with him for six or seven years. He handed the pen to Han Yu and said, This pen is my favorite pen. I'll give it to you today. At that time, you can use it to write to me. "Ok," Han Yu happily accepted it and took it with him.

Second, let go of your ideals.

Soon, in a blink of an eye, it was time to go to school. On this day, early in the morning, firecrackers exploded in the stockade, gongs and drums were loud, men, women and children stood at the intersection to bid farewell to Shao Guang, and Han Yu stood in the crowd and waved goodbye to Shao Guang with tears. Shao Guang squeezed into the crowd, took her hand and said, Wait for me! Han Yu's eyes are red and swollen, and he has been crying. He held his hand tightly and nodded vigorously.

The new semester has begun, and Shao Guang is full of longing for a new life. He is like a sponge, desperately absorbing the nutrition of this school. He is good at painting, talented, unique and full of national characteristics. He quickly gained the appreciation of professors and experts and became a professional leader.

After intense study, he wrote to Han Yu in the distance, writing about his study, life and thoughts ... Letters flew from Beijing to the southwest like snowflakes, flying to the mountains of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. However, every letter is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no reply. I can't hear a word from Han Yu, and Shao Guang's heart is suffering in my thoughts. Half a year has passed, and during the holiday, the school will organize a field trip. There is nothing to do. Shao Guang had to bury his thoughts in his heart. When he wanted to be a jade man, he took out the jade goddess of mercy and wished the jade man in the distance all the peace.

How time flies! Once a year, four years passed in a blink of an eye. After graduation, Shao Guang asked to return to Yunnan and was assigned to teach in the Fine Arts Department of Yunnan Art Institute. Who wants to have just arrived in Yunnan from a long way, but received an urgent telegram from the United States? The telegram said, "My father is critically ill and will come to America soon." Maybe everything in the world is predestined, especially the separation of marriage. Shao Guang is very happy to see North Korea soon.

Sorry, that's all I found.
