What are the creative characteristics of photographers in the 1950s and 1960s after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

Just like "Dongfanghong", from the 1950s to the mid-1960s after the founding of the People's Republic of China, photographers focused on the vibrant new China and the people full of vigor and passion. They praised the motherland, people and life, and fully demonstrated the vitality and breath of this great era. Fighting the Landlord by Qi Guanshan, Chess Burning Land Deed, Chairman Mao's Friends with Asia, Africa and Latin America, Farewell to the Return of Volunteers, In the Marriage Registry, The heavier the rain, the more exciting it is. Are symbolic visual records and image symbols of this era.

Portraits, landscapes, flowers and still life photography also show high spirits. For example, Yuan's Dongfanghong, Zheng Jingkang's Qi Baishi, After the Rain on Huangshan Mountain, Zhang Yinquan's Still Life, Ao's Rape Flowers and so on. In these works, portrait photography pays attention to vividness, while landscape, flowers and still life photography emphasize freehand brushwork. This aesthetic taste laid the aesthetic standard of China's artistic photography, and has influenced it to this day.
