The countryside of China is a vast and vibrant fertile soil. Although it is not as orderly and prosperous as urban planning and construction, the unique natural scenery of the countryside, the unique cultural styles of the village, the unique village residential buildings, rural customs, and other unique cultural styles, despite the continuous erosion of years, still stand on the vast land of the motherland. “Homesickness” has become the “memory” that people are looking for now. How to intervene in rural cultural construction in a form of popular expressions, reawaken people’s love and attention to the countryside, the place of residence of ancestors, and the countryside, so that the increasingly empty villages can be revitalized and revitalized, so that rural development can be sustainable, and realize the activation and value-added rural idle resources, so that the majority of villagers have a real sense of gain in economic benefits and cultural life, thereby empowering rural cultural construction. This is the question we are thinking about.
Recently, we went into the countryside to carry out artistic practice of rural cultural revitalization, planned the “Writing the Earth, Poetry and the Distant” work report exhibition, and explored the creation and display path of rural cultural revitalization – “Art Rural Construction”.
In this “art rural construction” practice, we pay special attention to the “roots” of rural culture and the local artistic creation style, and hope to awaken villagers’ confidence in their local culture through expressing traditional rural culture. This is a challenge. For those of us studio students who use traditional calligraphy and painting to print the art of Cinema, I think this is not only a challenge, but also a kind of nirvana. It is to cultivate our ability to understand, perceive and understand the countryside. Facing the place where our ancestors lived for generations, how can we use the artistic talents we have mastered to create and realize our vision, and turn this fertile land into a beautiful spiritual home that is suitable for business and living. In order to avoid simple graffiti phenomena in local art creations that have been done in the past, our activities adhere to the concept of symbiosis between people and themselves, adapt to local conditions, try to explore the greatest advantages of local natural resources, let art adapt to the environment, and let the environment create an artistic atmosphere, light up art, and strive to integrate art and environment.At the same time, the nourishment of art moisturizes things silently, putting all our artistic conceptions and energy storage into this practice to the greatest extent.
Our Komiks works are all interpreted by traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art.
The performance art of “Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era” was sprouted by the author’s association with the “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest” from a local bamboo forest. At that time, I thought, who is the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest” now? Can contemporary times find the representative “Seven Sages”? Even if it is found, what does it mean? Is it necessary? What inspirational significance does the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest” have for the present? “Some things are just so coincidental. At that time, I happened to read an article by Mr. Wu Hongliang on Chinese painting. The title was “Source Bamboo in the 5G Era”. This title also originated from a sentence in a poem by Xichuan, “Dream in the Flying Words of Komiks”. Although the three of us talk about “bamboo forest” and “Seven Sages”, the profiles are different and the meanings to express differently. Therefore, our work “Source Bamboo in the 5G Era” was born: For the 5G Era, everyone is the “Seven Sages”, and it is not the same. Everyone has their own side, although KomiksEverything is connected, connected and connected, and everyone is connectedCinema, but how should everyone’s heart be connected?

“Food is the most important thing for people” series, which uses the spiritual power given by rural daily life scenes and objects as cultural background, and uses local idle resources as the basic medium for creation. As urbanized, we are almost unfamiliar with these stoves that use wood to make fire, hand-cranked rice trucks, water wheels on foot, and hand-pushed stone mills in the daily life of rural areas. However, decades ago, these objects were necessary tools for our daily lives. The land gods and door gods of rural customs and habits were almost dying in modern urban life…… Rural life is established now. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks‘s generation of people “familiar strangers”!
After inspiring the teacher and looking up the historical background of those daily necessities, local customs and customs, the creation has not yet been released. ITheir hearts were baptized first.

“Tiger and Tigers”
“Good Days”, one of the series “Good Days”, is an installation that uses villagers’ houses as space and uses the Kitchen God culture as the source. It hopes to arouse people’s association with farming civilization for thousands of years, alert people to the issue of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then perceive the hard-wonderful days today, and trigger praise for a happy life.
“Good Days”
“Shuilong Yin” is a set of ancient and modern regulated poems that chant water wheels in the expression of traditional calligraphy with the old water wheelsCinema confirms that it is considerable, readable, appreciated, and can also be imagined. Especially the calligraphy works written in Dong Qichang’s style on the wall complement the water wheel on the ground. The leisurely and leisurely life of people in the farming era seems to be right in front of them.

“Certification of the World” is another series of ours. The display of traditional seal carving art is usually made by using a seal screen or enlarged prints and physical objects in the exhibition hall. The display outside the “tea hall” is indeedTest the person. After investigating the Cinema field environment, we followed the trend and flexibly combined the Cinema combination, allowing the large square array of multi-person works and the small square array of personal works to give full play to the advantages of different visual display, echoing the size and seeing each other’s heights, presenting it in a “verified the present” way. We hope that the people’s back and forth between different groups can produce another touch.

“Red Brick Introduction”, whether the extension of traditional calligraphy can be connected with contemporary art is one of the topics that the author has worked hard to explore.

“Green Mountains and Green Waters AncientKomiksToday’s Same” series presents our understanding and appeals for green mountains and green waters.
“Maybe it a bunch of “bad words””, trying to unify Internet buzzwords with humor and ridicule, deep thought and joke, funny and “solemn”. From the must-have words for online communication to becoming the catchphrase of the present, “alternative” has enriched the lives of people in contemporary society. This is the contradiction between tradition and innovation, restraint and ostentatiousnessKomiks. Because of the problems of such a trendy online language, such as word use, game language, grammatical errors, vulgarity, etc., it determines the possibility of long-term nature of its life cycle, and it is even a flash in the pan, but it is also the daily life of every person in the current society.Reproduction of life is the observation of certain phenomena, and some words are even rebellious, innovative, and exaggerated.
“Maybe a bunch of “bad words””
“Open the folded book”, a dictionary, “Modern Chinese Dacihai”, is compiled externally, and includes Internet buzzwords in the “non-canon” way. The title Cinema has two meanings: one is the meaning of “folding”. What is popular now or once popular is constantly obscured with the passage and changes of time and space Komiks, and is constantly obscured or appears and disappears, or overlaps; the second is “open”. All the “popular” memories in the external compilation of “Modern Chinese Dacihai” are a big event, or a small story, or an unforgettable memory. Through the work “Open the Folded Book”, I hope to repair my memories, forget them, and even mourn or pay tribute to me.
“Open the Folded Book”
We hope to transform the full affection for the countryside and the earth through the daily things in the countryside, integrate wisdom into the light of ideals, and turn them into works to infect and inspire people. We express our feelings to traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. Through the display of calligraphy, painting and printing art, we carry ancient oriental culture with a new medium. It is also a unique presentation, either behavior, concept, installation, or just an exploration.
Through this practice, we believe that if the traditional calligraphy and painting form is reset to a living space without villagers, is it a bit of a doubt that “whether the skin is left without hair will be attached?”, which may appear inconsistent and affect the appreciation of the artistic nature of the works. How to expand the development site is a very worthy topic in the construction of art rural areas. Through this practice, we also believe that in addition to interior layout, it is also feasible to expand the exhibition area outdoors.
There is “Topology” in geometry, which talks about the spatial transformation in a certain space. For the space of our work display, as the position of the work changes, a new display space has emerged. The author saidIt is the “land topology” method. In Yijian Village, using a form of displaying works that touches the rural atmosphere is a good way to get close to the masses.
On-local creation, fully “revitalizing” idle spaces and old objects, can be opened as part of rural museums and become a medium for displaying local farming culture, traditional folk customs, and village appearance. Some of the art products in the “Expanding Land Topology” series can be displayed for a long time, while others can only be short-term due to environmental relations, and they all have their own characteristics. Even in a moment, the auspicious light will also promote people’s love and yearning for a better life. If they can be integrated with culture and tourism, it will surely bring popularity and business opportunities.
“Let the city leave memories and let people remember their homesickness.” Through art building, we move writing to the wilderness, to the countryside, to the fields, to awaken the memories of people and contribute to rural revitalization together.
