The most beautiful thing in the world is the "post-Qin Dynasty"-female painter Zhang Xiaoqin.

? According to the statistics of the History of Wumen Painting, there were 876 Wumen painters in the Ming Dynasty alone. This is closely related to Wumen's rich economy, superior culture and literati family. Some famous painters are often handed down from generation to generation and from husband to wife. Cultural genes are passed down from generation to generation. In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shudeng said in Wuzhong Qingzhi: "Since Cao, Gu and Yao were eminent monks, Wuzhong's paintings have been gloomy and beautiful." Thousands of years of painting tradition has become a daily life and three meals a day. Living in this environment for a long time, it's hard not to be fascinated by painting. The female painters of Wumen family recorded in history are Wen Chu and Zhu Qiu. There are few documents about them, and there are not many works left, but they are all fine works. Zhang is also the father and daughter of the painter.

? Qin Xiao is very lucky. Fortunately, she was born in a family of painters with fragrant calligraphy. Her father is a famous flower and bird painter, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang is a disciple of Mr. Wu Men painter. She grew up in the world of art. I saw her father's hard work since I was a child, and I was able to appreciate a large number of works collected at home. I was personally guided by my father. This inheritance is tangible. She has been exposed to it since she was a child. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shaman Weng are family friends and teachers of famous painters. She often sits in her father's school, and she often sees his creative writing in strokes. She often holds various art exhibitions with her father and is invited to visit various exhibitions. This inheritance is intangible. Mr Zhang is very diligent. When he was young, he knelt on the ground and painted. Even at the age of 80, he still insists on getting up early every morning and practicing calligraphy for four hours. Father treats people sincerely, contentedly and gratefully. These are intangible influences. The so-called words and deeds. This reminds us of Yun Bing, a female painter in Qing Dynasty. She is also good at drawing creative inspiration from flowers, insects and butterflies in front of and behind her house. As a descendant of Yunnan Tian, one of the "Six Qing Dynasties", she devoted herself to the creation of flower-and-bird paintings, observed Yunnan Tian's paintings at home all day, and mastered the "boneless method" skillfully.

Around the age of 40, Zhang Xiaoqin began to study painting systematically with his father, and laid a solid foundation at first. After the age of 50, Zhang Xiaoqin began to paint for three hours every day and persisted for more than ten years. Father also saw his daughter's efforts, but Zhang Lao didn't relax his demands because Qin Xiao was his own daughter. Learn to draw first, then learn to be a man. Zhang Lao is very strict with children's personality. When Qin Xiao decided to devote himself to painting, he often warned his daughter that artists should "look forward" instead of "look at money", don't paint for the sake of making money, and don't be reluctant to invest in painting for the sake of saving money. Although Zhang Lao lives frugally, he is quite "generous" in painting and is also very particular about painting equipment. He said: "Many people who learn painting today are reluctant to buy good paper to paint. Even if you buy good paper, you are timid and cautious and can't draw well. " She admits that the most diligent is the current two years. Now Zhang Xiaoqin has fallen in love with painting from the bottom of his heart. She is often accompanied by painting. She told the author that she would settle down as soon as she got the pen.

? Even so, she has passed the age of knowing her destiny and picked up a brush. In just a few years, her paintings have advanced by leaps and bounds, and her works are among the best in painting. The works are more permeated with a broad and strong masculinity, but there are also many gentle and lovely women, one rigid and one soft, showing a different painting style from Zhang Lao and more distinctive. Qin Xiao is good at flowers, birds and insects, and has tasted dozens of plants and insects in Hanshan, all of which are vivid and interesting. It can also be very loose and strange, and the pen is quite old, revealing a domineering attitude! Peony is colorful, elegant, vivid, flowery and lovely in Gu Zhuo. Based on women's delicate feelings and special preference for flowers and birds, they observe and describe flowers and birds that are common in daily life differently from men. In addition, compared with male painters, female painters pay more attention to natural color, composition form and life state, and are far more delicate, sensitive and sincere than male painters. What's more commendable is that Qin Xiao is not arrogant at all. She is peaceful and simple. Since serving as the executive deputy curator of Zhang Art Museum, her painting skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, and her fame has also soared. She has delivered amazing satisfactory answers for several father-daughter joint exhibitions! Artistic long-distance running never starts from the starting point. Fundamentally speaking, learning painting requires talent, brains and knowledge. Now, Zhang Xiaoqin has begun to exert her strength in the midfield, and we look forward to witnessing her courageously and enterprising in this artistic long-distance running and running in a vast and free world.

Painters paint for three reasons. One is to make a living and have a utilitarian purpose. Second, entertainment is often perfunctory. The third is feeling. Qin Xiao is past the age of knowing his own destiny. She doesn't make a living. Two generations spend time polishing a skill in series and inheriting a dream. By virtue of his intelligence and the influence of his father, he gradually learned the way of pen and ink and obtained the father method. Zhang Xiaoqin's "The Fairy Pavilion recognizes its predecessor in the north" and his father's "The Appearance of Zhu Yu" were selected for the "20 15 Jiangsu Excellent Flower and Bird Painting Exhibition to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the world anti-fascist war". 20 17, "Inheritance-Exhibition of Zhang Traditional Chinese Painting" was held in Suzhou Daily. In the spring of 20 18, Qin Xiao went to Taiwan Province province, Bao Dao to hold an art exhibition. In the autumn of the same year, he was invited to Nagoya, Japan for cultural exchange between China and Japan, and the Sino-Japanese exchange exhibition was well received. Qin Xiao's paintings are very atmospheric. In the year of knowing her destiny, she won a belated honor and shouldered the heavy responsibility of promoting Mr. Zhang's flower-and-bird painting. She is a late bloomer and will do better. Unconsciously, autumn has come quietly. Many people go out to feel the breath of autumn in nature, or stop to observe or take pictures as a souvenir, hoping to keep this time-limited beauty longer. Painters write and draw with pens in their hands, preserving the scene in front of them. The painter Zhang Xiaoqin is like this. The autumn of her life, with the special perspective of female painters, is clear and oblique, and her brushwork is delicate and touching.

Chen: Why didn't you learn to draw before?

Qin Xiao: In my early years, I attended work lectures with my father. Then I stayed at school and was busy with my work and taking care of my family. It seems that there are endless things to do every day. I don't have time to pick up the brush. Moreover, my father studied painting and felt very hard, so he didn't want to study in the past.

Chen: Then why did you pick up the brush again?

Qin Xiao: My father is 70 years old. When the family is reunited, I will secretly sigh at him. He said that there are indeed several good apprentices who have been inherited by the family for a lifetime, but how can the children of their own family pass on? There are three brothers and sisters, the elder sister is responsible for taking care of his father, and the elder brother has his own career. Let me pick up the brush. My father has always said, be honest, be glib in painting, have boldness of vision and spirit, which means you can't write. When I make a little progress, my father won't praise me to my face. Sometimes when guests come home, he will naturally tell them that I drew it. Although everyone says that my paintings feel like my father now, I feel that the composition is not in place, and I still need to work hard. I just learned a little skill.

Chen: Tell us a story about an old teacher drawing.

Qin Xiao: I grew up with my father because my mother went to the countryside. My father always takes me with him when he goes out. When he goes out to sketch, he always takes a military kettle and some cakes with him. I went out before dawn, walked from Jingde Road to Qiao Feng, and then strolled in the mountains outside the city by bus. Lion Mountain, Huashan Mountain, Tianping Mountain and Tianchi Mountain were painted all day. While my father was drawing, I was playing with grass bugs. Once I accidentally rolled down the mountain. When my father pulled me out of the ravine, I had become a' little savage' covered with leaves and weeds!

My father paints very carefully. In order to draw grass insects well, he carefully studied the external dynamic images and internal structure. He can draw more than 100 different compositions of the same thing. When my father paints, I often watch it, and sometimes I can't help but pick up some paintings, which is entertainment. Besides going out to play with my father, caterpillars such as cockscomb, which raises chickens at home, naturally became my childhood playmates. If you play too much, you will naturally get familiar with it. Over time, as soon as my father started to write, I knew what he was going to draw! I love painting now, which was planted by my father to some extent.

The most beautiful thing in the world is the Late Qin!
