Pinwu Ming Dow Chaxiangzi
Wu Dongming changed tea into drinks, because each kind of tea has a unique taste. He emphasized the taste of tea. After drinking one kind of tea for a period of time, it is necessary to change to another. He said, "It's just like eating. The meat is delicious. If you eat meat every day, even the best meat will be tired. If you are too tired, you need something light; if you are too light, you need oil and water. In order to maintain a balanced diet, people need to adjust their tastes frequently. In addition to big fish and big meat, you should eat more whole grains and change varieties, so that it tastes more fragrant. As far as porridge is concerned, you should not only drink rice porridge, but also mix it with mung bean porridge, millet porridge and glutinous rice porridge. The same is true for drinking tea. Tea has a taste and a different fragrance. It is often a change of tea variety and taste. Drinking tea is more fragrant. " It is not difficult to see that Mr. Wu Dongming not only learns from drinking tea, but also is a gourmet who pays attention to diet and nutrition.
For Wu Dongming, drinking tea is good for health. He feels that eating after drinking tea is particularly fragrant and has an appetite. In addition, drinking tea to refresh oneself is very helpful for painting. He paints for six or seven hours every day, and he is tired of standing and painting. Drinking tea helps him relieve a lot of fatigue. Drinking tea also loses weight. None of his friends who drink tea all the year round are fat. Wu Dongming likes to drink strong tea, such as Dahongpao, cooked tea and jasmine tea. However, he usually only drinks strong tea in the morning, weak tea in the afternoon and no tea at night, because he can't sleep after drinking tea at night.
In Heze's hometown, Wu Dongming has a Kung Fu tea set. Friends who draw circles often go to his house to drink tea and talk about painting and calligraphy. There is a steady supply of tea at home, and sometimes friends will bring a cup of Pu 'er tea or Dahongpao to share with him. After coming to Beijing, he also went to the teahouse for tea with friends from the painting world. In his eyes, making kungfu tea is an art, and the posture and techniques of the tea artist are beautiful and pleasing to the eye, which also brings enlightenment and inspiration to his painting and calligraphy creation. There are many varieties of tea, such as brush, rice paper and pigment in his hand. When making tea, the ups and downs of the tea in the cup are as smart and full of vitality as the flowers in his pen.
The paper ink painting decorated with tea leaves is lifelike.
During his artistic career, Wu Dongming had several close contacts with tea.
Once, he drew a plum blossom. Usually after painting, there will be a process of spraying some water mist on the painting with a sprayer to make the flowers look more moist. This time there was no clear water in front of him, so he poured the thick Pu 'er tea water into the watering can and sprayed it. I didn't expect the plum blossoms sprayed with Pu 'er tea to be particularly bright and bright, and the petals became fresh and tender. Later, he also tried to draw with tea. He found the effect very strange, the picture became three-dimensional and the flowers were "alive".
Another thing is that one summer when he was traveling to Guilin, he passed a big tea garden, which was backed by Qingshan Mountain, and many minority tea farmers were carrying baskets to pick tea quickly. He was moved by the dexterity of tea farmers sweating profusely in hot summer and their beautiful clothes. The hardships of those farmers with dark skin and wrinkled faces reminded him of his hometown and childhood, and made him feel that the tea he drank was hard-won. The scene of real life and the scene of harmony between man and nature in the vast tea garden with blue sky and green mountains inspired his creative desire. He said that he couldn't walk any further, so he immediately took out his pen and paper, sat on the ground and drew more than 20 pictures in one breath. The rough hands of the old peasant woman, the beautiful headdress of the girl and the agile skill of the young man extend to the terraced tea garden in Daqingshan in the distance. The artistic conception is far away, and the scene of harmony between man and nature is vividly on paper.
Willing to endure loneliness and not follow the trend.
Wu Dongming is a very diligent painter. However, a successful painting needs profound knowledge and qualifications. In the painting world, many painters in their fifties who have painted for thirty or forty years are often not famous. Even if their works win prizes, they are only called potential painters, not to mention not getting any economic benefits. With the rapid development of modern science and technology, people's material life is extremely rich and the market economy is prosperous today, why can't these painters bear the loneliness and work hard on drawing paper day after day and year after year? What are they looking for?
Wu Dongming said that China is an ancient civilization, and the traditional culture of China needs to be inherited and carried forward. Calligraphy and painting is a traditional culture in China, and its development needs everyone's promotion. The use of paper, pen, ink and water in painting is very particular and needs to be studied with great concentration. Whether you can live with water, whether the feelings of the characters are expressed, and whether the ideas are novel are all elements of a successful painting. A painting that people can never tire of seeing is a good painting, and these are not achieved overnight and need long-term tempering. "What to do, what to say, the world is very complicated, you can't chop and change around others, or follow suit. The road of life should have a direction. Since you love the art of calligraphy and painting, you should be willing to contribute to it and explore it unremittingly. I am very satisfied with the field of painting. Although the process of painting is boring and hard, every new painting brings me joy. Look at the world again, in fact, it is very lonely to insist on doing anything. The singer looks beautiful and happy when she performs on the stage, but she practices hard under the stage. There are countless hardships behind the gold medal of the Olympic champion. You are lonely, and you can succeed if you can stand loneliness. "
In this respect, the word tea itself is also a good explanation. People are between a word of grass and a word of wood, with pressure above and jacking force below. Explain that people should be patient and bear loneliness. This forbearance is a kind of tenacity, a kind of responsibility, a kind of belief, and this kind of pressure and jacking force is the nature of heaven and earth. The vegetation of nature nurtures cattle, sheep and creatures, nurtures human beings and endows people with a mission of responsibility. Human beings have the responsibility to shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining harmony between man and nature, caring for nature, repaying nature and promoting world civilization. Social progress depends on human strength, and people must integrate into society to make a difference. In a person's life, the good times are very short, and there are not many things that individuals can enjoy, so it is a good choice to focus on doing what they can for the development of society. From ancient times to the present, there are not a few great men who have made earth-shaking changes in society. The progress of society depends on the efforts of the public, and it is enough for everyone to push a little. This is reflected in the road of art, that is, to endure loneliness and strive to innovate in constant pursuit.
"In the field of painting, the progress of painting and calligraphy art is jointly promoted by everyone: Fan Ceng's figure painting has clear lines and pushes the lines little by little; Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings are vivid and push stick figures a little; Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy is paved with stones, which promotes the innovation of calligraphy a little bit; The bamboo in Wu Dongkui, with different visual effects, draws the dynamic feeling of the wind blowing on the bamboo leaves, which promotes the composition technique a little. The road to art is endless. Through everyone's breakthrough, the components are condensed into a joint force to promote the development of Chinese painting today. Everyone, including scientists, athletes and ordinary people, will push a little and society will make a big step forward. In this way, the development of world civilization will be faster. " Wu Dongming said.
