The countryside in 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, etc., have been continuously washed away by the years, and 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 expressions, 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 can 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 cultural revitalization, planned the report exhibition of works “Writing the Earth, Poetry and the Distant”, 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 by expressing the traditional cultural channels of the village. 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 original place where our ancestors live for generations, how can we use the artistic talents we have mastered to create and realize our vision, and make this fertile butterfly of the land that has become a beautiful spiritual home, suitable for business and living. In order to avoid simple graffiti 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, let 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 is silent, and all our artistic conceptions and energy storage are put into this practice to the greatest extent.
Our works are all made of traditional calligraphy and painting and sealsCinema art is interpreted.
The performance art of “Bamboo Planting in the 5G Era” was created by the author’s association with the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Planting” from a local bamboo forest. At that time, I thought, who is the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Planting” now? Can the representative “Seven Sages” be found in contemporary times? Even if it is found, what is the problem? Is it necessary? What is the inspirational significance of the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Planting” 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 “KomiksSource Bamboo Planting in the 5G Era”, which is also derived from a sentence in a poem by Xichuan, “Dreams about the lively and flying words”. 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 “Bamboo Seeds in the 5G era” has emerged: In the 5G era, everyone is the “Seven Sages”, but they are different. Everyone has their own side. Although things are connected, connected, and everyone is interconnected, how should everyone’s heart be connected?

“Food is the most important thing in the 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 media to create. As urbanized, we are almost unfamiliar with these stoves that use wood to make fire, rice trucks, water trucks on foot, and stone mills on hand in the countryside, but decades ago, these objects were essential tools for our daily lives. The land gods, door gods, etc. in rural customs and habits are almost dying in modern urban life…Babaylan. Rural life has established modern people as “familiar strangers”!
After the inspiration of the teacher and the search for the historical background of those daily necessities, local customs and customs, the creation of works has not yet been released, and our hearts have been baptized first.

“Door God”
<a "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.

“Water Dragon Yin” is a set of ancient and modern regulated poems that sing about water wheels in the expression form of traditional calligraphy and the old water wheels, to achieve a considerable and readable, href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks can be 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 Komiks.
“Shuilong Yin”
“Certification of the World” is another series of ours. The display of traditional seal carving art is usually presented in the exhibition hall using a seal screen or enlargement of the printing and physical objects. The display outside the “tea hall” is a testament to the person. After inspecting the on-site environment, we followed the trend and flexibly combined, allowing a large array of multi-person works and a small number of personal works.The square array plays the advantages of different visual displays, echoing the size and seeing each other in a way that is “verified to the present”. I hope that people’s back and forth between different groups can create another touch.

Cinema“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” 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 current catchphraseKomiks, “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 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. However, it is also a replica of every person’s life in today’s society, and it is a reflection of certain phenomena, and some words are even rebellious, innovative, and exaggerating their personality.
“Maybe a bunch of “bad words””
“Open the folded book”, a dictionary, “Modern Chinese Dacihai”, was edited by externally, and included Internet buzzwords in the “non-canon” method. The title has two meanings: one is the meaning of “folding”. Now Babaylan is popular or once popular. 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.

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, and inspire people to infect and inspire people. We express our passion to the traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. Through the display of calligraphy, painting and printing art, we carry ancient oriental culture with a new medium, which 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 in the display of artworks, in addition to indoorIn addition to the layout, it is also feasible to expand the expansion of the site outdoors.
There is “Topology” in geometry, which talks about the spatial transformation in a certain space. For the space of our work display, with the change of the position of the work, a new display space has emerged, which the author calls it the “expanding topology”. 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 artworks 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.

“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.
