The countryside in China is a vast and vibrant fertile soil. Although it is not as magnificent 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, are still standing 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 expression that people are welcomed by people, reawaken people’s love and attention to the countryside, the place of residence of ancestors, 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, carried out artistic practice of rural culture revitalization, planned the report exhibition of “Writing the Earth, Poetry and the Distant” works, and explored the creation of rural cultural revitalization – “Art Rural Construction” and the display path.
In this practice of “Art Village Construction”, we pay special attention to the “roots” of the village culture in Komiks and the local artistic creation style. We hope to awaken villagers’ confidence in the local culture of the village by expressing traditional rural culture. This is a challenge. For us studio students who use traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art, 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 places where our ancestors have 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 the simple graffiti phenomenon in local art creation that was 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, so that art can adapt to the environment, create an artistic atmosphere, light up art, and strive to integrate art and the environment. At the same time, the nourishment of art moisturizes things silently, and put all our artistic conceptions and energy storage into this practice to the greatest extent.
Our workAll the products are selected from traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art for interpretation.
The performance art of “Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era” was created by the author’s association with the “Bamboo Forest Seven Virtues” 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, titled “Source Bamboo in the 5G era”, and this title comes from a sentence in a poem “Dream in the Flying Words” in Xichuan. Although the three of us talk about “bamboo forest” and “Seven Sages”, the profiles are different and the meanings to express are different. Therefore, our work “Source Bamboo in the 5G era” is Komiks So, our work “Source Bamboo in the 5G era” is Babaylan has produced: for the 5G era, everyone is the “Seven Sages”, but they are different. Everyone has their own side. Although things are connected, connected and connected, everyone is interconnected, how should everyone’s heart be connected?
“Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era”
“Food is the most important thing for people” series, based on daily life in rural areasCinema, hand-cranked rice trucks, foot-pedaled water trucks, hand-pushed stone mills are almost unfamiliar, but decades ago, these objects were essential tools for our daily lives. Land gods, door gods, etc., which are customary in rural customs and habits, are almost dying in modern urban life…… Rural life has established a “familiar stranger” for modern people!
After inspiring the teacher and checking the historical background of those daily necessities, local customs and folk customs, the works have not yet been released. ITheir hearts were baptized first.

The Good Days, one of the series “Tiger and Tigers”
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”
“Water Dragon Sound” is a set of ancient and modern regular poems that chant water wheels in the expression of traditional calligraphy and the old water wheels, so that they can be regarded, readable, appreciated, and imaginative. Especially the calligraphy works written in Dong Qichang’s style on the wall complement the water wheels on the ground. The leisurely and leisurely life of people in the farming era seems to be right in front of them.
“Shuilong Yin”
“Certification of the World” is another series of ours. The display of traditional seal carving art is usually made of seal screens or enlarged prints and physical objects in the exhibition hall. The display outside the “tea hall” is indeedTest the person. After inspecting the on-site environment, we followed the trend and combined flexibly, allowing the large square array of multi-person works and the small square array of personal works to play the advantages of different visual displays, echoing the size and seeing each other in a “verified the present” way. We hope that people can have another touch when they go back and forth between different groups.
“Certification of the World”
“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.
“Red Brick Introduction”
“Green Mountains and Green Waters” series presents our understanding and appeals for green mountains and green waters.
“Maybe it a bunch of “bad words””, trying to use humor and ridicule to dialectically unify Internet buzzwords with humor and ridicule, deep thought and joke, funny and “solemnCinema“, from the must-have words for online communication to becoming the current catchphrase, “alternative” has enriched the lives of people in contemporary society. This is the contradiction between tradition and innovation, restraint and ostentatiousness. Because of the problems of such trendy online languages with word specifications, game-style 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. However, it is every day in the current society.The reproduction of human life is the observation of certain phenomena, and some words are even characterized by rebellion, innovation, and exaggeration of their personality.
“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 has two meanings: one is the meaning of “folding”. What is popular now or once popular, and as time and space passes and changes, it 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 our full affection for the countryside and the earth into our ideal light through the daily things in the countryside, and transform our wisdom into works one by one 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 forms are reset to the 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 quality 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 display space of our work, as the position of the work changes, the new display space of Babaylan is changed again.ef=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan was born, which I call the “land expansion topology”. In Yijian Countryside Cinema, using a form of work that is exposed to the atmosphere of the countryside 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 artworks in the “Expanding Land Topology” series can be displayed for a long time, and some of them can only be short-lived 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 people’s memories and contribute to rural revitalization together.
