Re: the old man created only one painting in 50 years: the 150 metre long scroll painted 200 talented women.
1967 winter, Chen Xibang formally started painting "Chinese history of female talent map", almost free time to Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanchong and other places museum, cultural museum, bookstore run, squatting in the corner of the bookstore, holding the painting board, the talent woman portrait according to historical records outlined.
for a time, Chen Xibang was fascinated by painting. "The beard is broken, and the food is forgotten." His wife used these eight words to describe Chen Xibang. Chen Xibang, who is now in his seventies, is still slovenly, wearing a black coat, with untidy hair and beard.
painting needs paper, but there is no painting paper on the market. Chen Xibang asks a relative who works in a paper mill to find a bundle of toilet paper. After 22 years, Chen Xibang finished the first manuscript on the 50 meters of toilet paper, and from the pre Qin to the near modern 200 talented women lines.
unfortunately the eye disease is looking forward to the people to help their dream
the first manuscript simply outlines the characters, and the second color manuscripts need to add clothes, hairstyles and ornaments to the characters. "Every talented woman's dress and hairstyle are very particular and must be consistent with the culture at that time." These need historical evidence, Chen Xibang went to National Museum, Nanchong silk factory and other places for inspection, for the 200 talented women "dress make-up".
in Chen Xibang's third manuscripts, the image of talented women has been vividly lifelike, with beautiful dress and distinct layers. From the pre Qin period Mrs. Xu Mu to the contemporary female writer Qiong Yao, in Chen Xibang's writing, the color is bright, the composition is rigorous, the pen and ink is elegant and free. Each talented girl, Chen Xibang, has been matched with poems related to talented women.
listen to Zhao Yunyu's suggestion, Chen Xibang has always insisted on the tradition of painting the brush, from the outline of the character lines, to the dress color, and the small to the pattern of the table, all of which need to be finished with the brush. "This requires skill, and it is impossible to achieve without decades of effort." In fact, Chen Xibang has long been known in the industry, and there are more than 30 disciples under the door.
"he is very low-key, very famous in the industry, but he doesn't like publicity." In the eyes of disciple Lei Xiaolin, master Chen Xibang spent all his life on the map of talented women in China. More than 10 years ago, Chen Xibang had come to the point where he could not get away from it. His wife scolded him and said he was a "waste". Lei Xiaolin and several Division brothers discussed, ready to send some living expenses to the teacher, was scolded by Chen Xibang, Lei Xiaolin can only go out of the door of the teacher bitterly. In recent years, Chen Xibang's son earned money from doing business outside, and Chen Xibang no longer worried about the economy and began to concentrate on creation.
two years ago, Chen Xibang was blinded by his right eye, cataracts in his left eye, and 1000 degrees of glasses on his nose, and the colorful world became blurred in his eyes. "It's the last finalization." Chen Xibang, with white hair on her temples, wiped her tears with her hands, and her tears moistened her hands to stroll the first draft of three pictures of talented women in China. Chen Xibang said he hoped that people with the right fate could complete the final finalization on the basis of his third draft. "I hope that man is not for profit and desire, but art is pure." Chen Xibang said he hoped that in his lifetime, even if he could not see, he would also like to touch on the final version of the picture of talented men in China.
