Reflections on visiting Xu Beihong Memorial Hall

While the weather is still nice, take your children to the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall to experience the painter’s style up close and to be inspired by his artistic sentiments.

After getting out of the subway, I followed the navigation and walked to my destination. On the way, I was attracted by a wetland park in Shichahai. So I followed the visitors in front and walked in. I saw the blooming lotus from a distance, blooming with its own style in the sunshine.

The child ran happily in front, and soon came to the pond full of lotus flowers. He looked at the green lotus leaves as big as a cloak and set off the pink lotus flowers with great fondness.

Many tourists nearby took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and some professional photographers were fiddling with their equipment, hoping to capture this gorgeous moment with their lenses.

There is such a natural park in the Second Ring Road, with water, mountains, and pavilions. The scenery is unique. It seems that I should come out more often when I have time.

After the tour, we walked to the memorial hall. About 10 minutes later, I arrived at the entrance of the memorial hall, showed my reservation code, exchanged my ID card for the ticket, and entered the museum smoothly.

The memorial hall is divided into four floors. The first floor mainly introduces Xu Beihong’s life and growth experience. The second and third floors are mainly exhibitions of Mr.'s paintings. The fourth floor is a reporting hall.

Let’s start from the first floor. Since it is a working day, there are few people in the museum and it is very quiet, which is suitable for enjoying slowly.

Before visiting, my impression of Xu Beihong was that he was a great painter, famous for his horse paintings. But after visiting, I realized that I was a bit ignorant.

Xu Beihong is an outstanding Chinese art master and the first president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. His paintings are full of creativity and have opened up a broad path for the innovation of traditional art. He has been called "China's The father of modern painting".

He is not only good at thematic creation, but also adds life scenes into his paintings, showing the diligence, simplicity and bravery of the working people, leaving a mark on the nation and the times. His animals, flowers and other natural scenery The paintings are also lifelike, and the writing is full of spirit and spirit.

In addition to painting, he likes to study seal cutting and calligraphy. According to records, he has used more than a hundred seals and collected even more seals.

He has a pure heart. After studying abroad, he resolutely returned to his motherland to contribute to national construction. As a painter, he has held many art exhibitions and is well-known at home and abroad. He has repeatedly donated the income from art exhibitions or the wealth from selling paintings to the needs of the country's revolution or construction.

It is precisely because the country has talents like Xu Beihong and thousands of artists, educators and thinkers like Xu Beihong that New China has been able to become stronger and richer quickly.

For those of us who were born in peaceful times, we should cherish our current life more, live well, and live out our own splendor.
