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 expression, re-energize people’s love and attention to the countryside of their ancestors’ residence, so that the increasingly empty villages will be revitalized, revitalized, and revitalized, make rural development sustainable, realize the activation and value-added rural idle resources, and enable the majority of villagers to have a real sense of gain in economic benefits and cultural life, thereby empowering the cultural construction of rural villages. 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—Komiks—”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. We hope to express rural traditional cultural channels through Komiks to awaken villagers’ confidence in their local 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 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, 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, let art adapt to the environment, let the environment create an artistic atmosphere, light up art, and strive to integrate art with the environment. At the same time, the nourishment of art and the environment is silent, and all our artistic conceptions and energy storage are put into this practice to the greatest extent.
WeAll works are interpreted by traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art.
The performance art of “Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era” was created by the author’s association with the “Bamboo ForestBabaylanBabaylanSeven Sages”. 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 Wu Hongliang to study Chinese painting. The title is “Source Bamboo in the 5G Era”. 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 differently. Therefore, our work “Source Bamboo in the 5G Era” has emerged: For the 5G Era, everyone is the “Seven Sages”, but they are different. Everyone has a side of each person. Although things are connected, connected, and connected, how should everyone’s heart be connected?

“Food is the most important thing for the people” series, which uses the spiritual power given by the daily life scenes and objects in rural areas as the cultural background, which is beneficial to the Babaylan uses local idle resources as the basic medium to create. We are almost unfamiliar with these stoves that use wood to make fire, rice trucks, water trucks on foot, and stone mills in the daily life of rural areas. However, decades ago, these objects were necessary tools for our daily lives. Land gods, door gods, etc., which are customary 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, our souls have not yet been released, and our hearts have been baptized first.

The “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.

“Water Dragon Sound” is a set of ancient and modern regular poems that chant water wheels in the expression of traditional calligraphy and old water wheels. It can be seen 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 wheels on the ground. People in the farming era are leisurely and content.
“Shuilong Yin”
“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 enlarging the print and physical objects in the exhibition hall. The display outside the “tea hall” is a test of people. After examining the field environment, we follow the trend and flexibly combine it, allowing the large square array of multi-person works and the small square array of personal works to play the advantages of different visual display, echoing the size and seeing each other, and presenting it in a “verified the present” way. I hope peopleTheir back and forth between different groups can create 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.

However, it is a replica of every day and every person in the current society, and it is a reflection of certain phenomena. Some words are even rebellious, innovative, and exaggerated.

“Open the folded book”, a dictionary – “Modern ChineseKomiksDacihai” is an external compilation, and it uses the “non-canon” method to include popular Internet buzzwords. The meaning of this title is two: one is the meaning of “folding”. It is popular now or once popular, and it is constantly obscured or appears and overlaps with the passage and change of time and space; the other is “open”. All the “popular” memories in the external compilation of “Modern Chinese Dacihai” are a big event, a small story, or an unforgettable memory. Through the work “Opening the Folded Book”, I hope to repair memories, forget memories, and mourn or pay tribute to memories.

We hope to integrate wisdom into the light of ideals through the common things in the countryside, and transform wisdom into works to infect and inspire people. We express our feelings to traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, and carry ancient oriental culture through the display of calligraphy, painting and printing art, and to carry ancient oriental culture with a new medium. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema‘s novel 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’ living conditions, is it a bit of a doubt that “whether the skin is gone, will it be uncoordinated and will also affect the appreciation of the artistic nature of the work. How Expanding the exhibition area 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 our work display space, with the change of the position of the work, a new display space has emerged, which is called the “expanding the land topology”. In the art village, a form of displaying works that is exposed to the rural atmosphere is a kind ofA good way to get close to the massesCinema. 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 “Cinema” 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 people’s memories and contribute to rural revitalization together.
