In July, I returned to Taiwan Province Province to teach fine arts in Hsinchu Normal University. In the following years, he was invited to participate in many provincial and international art exhibitions.

Xi Murong devoted himself to painting at the age of fourteen. He has been a professor in Hsinchu Teachers College of Taiwan Province Province for many years, and he still takes this as his main occupation. As a professional painter, Xi Murong has held many solo exhibitions at home and abroad, and won the Royal Belgian Gold Award, the Brussels Municipal Government Gold Award, the European Artists Association two bronze awards, the Jinding Award for Best Lyrics Award, and the Zhongxing New Poetry Literature Award. Writing poetry is just a rest after a hard day. She wrote poems to "commemorate a distant time and the small world that only exists in my heart". There is a word "truth" cast in the poem, which has a distinct personality. Her poems are full of understanding and feelings about human feelings, love and homesickness. There are more than 50 kinds of works, such as poetry collection, prose collection, picture album and anthology, which are widely read at home and abroad. In the past ten years, I have devoted myself to exploring Mongolian culture and taking my hometown as my creative theme. In 2002, he was appointed honorary professor of Inner Mongolia University. The new work Xi Murong and Her Inner Mongolia records Xi Murong's pursuit of nomadic culture from 1989 to 17 with beautiful words and photos taken by herself.

Analyzing the process of writing his own poems, Xi Murong told reporters: "When I was young, writing poems because of loneliness may be a desire for beauty; When he is old, he writes poetry because he can't calm the turmoil in his heart; When you are old, you become brave because you write poetry. " Xi Murong lingers in the country of poetry. Poetry is a self-sufficient world. There are many things in life that are difficult to express but deeply touched by the passage of time and the touch of life. Xi Murong thinks that it can only be expressed by poetry. "Poetry can be clearly stated, but it is usually unclear." Writing Qilixiang was the quietest moment in Xi Murong's life. It was the age of reading, falling in love, getting married and having children, and only a little homesickness. Feeling very sensitive and pure is the most refreshing moment in life. The sketch illustrations in the poem Li Qixiang were also drawn by her when she put the children to sleep. A pen, a notebook, put it by the bed and draw at any time and place. Children are quiet, too. They fell asleep with satisfaction when they saw their mother holding a pen. Until now, looking back on his old works, Xi Murong is still grateful to himself. "Fortunately, I wrote Qilixiang at the age of 36. I am glad that I wrote it when I wanted to write it. Many people will regret it, but I don't. I feel very lucky, I left Qilixiang on the road. " The reporter asked Xi Murong, did you write these poems because of the richness of life or the desire for love? Xi Murong looked satisfied: "It should be the abundance of life."

However, there is another saying:

Xi Murong, 1943, is from Sichuan. After that, she lived in Shanghai and Hongkong, and then went to Taiwan Province Province. Originally, Xi Murong, a Mongolian, didn't feel any different from the students around her, but in a geography class in junior high school, the teacher said something that hurt the Mongols, and all the students focused on her. After class, the students seemed to forget what had just happened and played with her, but after that, Xi Murong never wanted to say a word to the teacher again.

After many years, Xi Murong said that if she met this teacher again, she really wanted to say sorry to him. Maybe he didn't mean it at that time, just wanted to make a joke and cheer up the classmates. In recent years, Xi Murong gradually understood some things. She thinks that a Han Chinese can be friends with you for life, but once he retreats to his own ethnic group and comments on the culture, beliefs and even everything of other ethnic groups with his own eyes, his prejudice will be very serious. At least in that class, the teacher's description of Mongolia is far from what her parents told her.

Xi Murong's father was a Mongolian intellectual of the previous generation. After 1949, I traveled to Europe from Taiwan Province Province and never came back until my death. "He doesn't want to go back. Because his previous impression was so good that he was afraid of ruining his own. In particular, it has experienced the destruction of the' Cultural Revolution'. " Xi Murong said.

When Xi Murong was a professor of fine arts in Taiwan Province Province, there was an archaeological history bookstore near the school.

Xi Murong's Works (7 pieces)

She is a layman in archaeology, and she has never been back to the Mongolian Plateau at that time, but for a while, every time she went to the bookstore, she found that the book she bought was related to Mongolian archaeology in Otawa.

"Just because it is the culture of my parents' hometown, it will make me feel more at ease after buying it back. "

From 1989 to now, endless wandering on the grassland has made her happy, but it is also accompanied by sadness and regret.

Apart from the environment, what saddens her most is the gradual confusion of values and the demise of traditional rituals. She firmly believes: "Every culture has its own values."

In 2006, the Nadam Convention was held in Xilinhot, and various literary and art groups from the Yellow River valley performed gongs and drums. "But they dance some dances that have nothing to do with Mongolian culture."

Nadam means fun club, and now Han You also likes to participate. Xi Murong said that this should certainly be welcomed. But Nadam has its own rituals. From beginning to end, it is a very old rule passed down from generation to generation, such as wrestling, archery and horse racing. "Why did you invite the circus and acrobatic troupe?" Xi Murong felt very sad.

"It's no longer like Nadam. After two generations, perhaps no one can tell what a real nomadic culture is. "

After signing a book in Beijing, Xi Murong will leave for Ejina and Alashan in Inner Mongolia. For her, the Mongolian plateau will never end. There is really too much fresh knowledge in it, and the attraction of nomadic culture is too strong.

She clearly remembers that when her father traveled with her in Europe before his death, he said it was too boring. He didn't like things blocking his sight. At that time, Xi Murong had not been to the Mongolian Plateau. "I think Europe is so big and the scenery is so beautiful. How can it be boring? " I don't understand. Can a mountain so far stop you? "

It was not until he returned to the Mongolian plateau that Xi Murong knew what it meant to have nothing at present.

On the first day back to my hometown, I saw a herdsman riding from the distant grassland. "He is dressed in blue, so far away, I can see the light of the yellow belt around his waist, just like the tip of a needle shining in the sun. In fact, I am nearsighted, but I can see clearly on the grassland. "

"oh! My god, I understand how my father feels. " At this time, Xi Murong deeply understood his father.

"This is a memory passed down from generation to generation." Xi Murong once told the reporter of Youth Weekend.

If we look closely, it is not difficult to find that 1989' s trip to Mongolia was a watershed in Xi Murong's creation. Before, she lived in her parents' homesickness. Later, she lived in her own homesickness. Xi Murong described the difference with transformation rather than change, and revealed a short story that made her think for a long time. Before public officials were allowed to visit relatives, she had written some words about homesickness according to the accounts of her parents and grandmother. Then Dongsheng Lin, a Hong Kong photographer, went all the way to Mongolia to take many photos of his hometown, and published a book "In that faraway place" (a round god) in an illustrated way. Unexpectedly, a friend of Xi Murong threw cold water on her and said to her, "Anyway, what you wrote is only second-hand experience." This sentence left her speechless.

But when she really got on the train home and saw the familiar station names jump into her eyes, what she thought was what more parents told her in those years. For example, after Xuanhua, she thought of what her mother said, Xuanhua grapes are the best; After Zhangjiakou, she thought that her grandfather and uncle had run a Mongolian compilation hall here, which was as big as half a street. At this time, Xi Murong suddenly understood, "This is how the original culture is transmitted", "All first-hand experience must go through second-hand experience, and the strength will be stronger." This is why when she came to her mother's hometown, she wanted to find Jyukai, a fragrant and endless pine tree, but found that there was no pine tree here. How shocking and puzzling it was. The gloomy forest that has been maintained for thousands of years may be destroyed in just a few decades, just as the Han people can easily destroy the Mongolian cultural tradition with their rude monistic values during the Cultural Revolution.
