Huang Yuwen's eyes lit up, but there was a look of disbelief on her face and said, "Brother Feng, are you talking insincere?"

Ye Zhiran said seriously: "Do you think I'm perfunctory? No. When I look at your paintings, not only are the descriptions of landscapes already in the hall, but your ladies' paintings are novel and unique, and they absorb the techniques of Western oil paintings with ink and color. The characters are about to emerge and they already have the style of masters."

Huang Yuwen's face turned slightly red and said, "Brother Feng praised it a little too much. The teacher often criticized my figure painting for deviating from the tradition of Chinese painting."

Ye Zhiran said: "Traditions need to be inherited, but they cannot be a reason to restrict the innovative development of paintings. In recent years, Western paintings have been continuously accepted by the Chinese people. Western paintings emphasize light and darkness, focus perspective, and Chinese paintings are also constantly absorbing the characteristics of Western paintings. Especially in terms of realistic characters, they have broken through the shortcomings of ancient ladies' paintings, and your paintings have also made obvious breakthroughs."

Huang Yuwen didn't expect that Ye Zhiran was quite knowledgeable about ladies' paintings. Just like a person who loves music met a soulmate, she couldn't help but say happily: "I didn't expect you to have such an insight into ladies' paintings. Then tell me, how did my ladies' paintings break through the tradition?"

Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Then I'll show off my skills." He was born to study computer programming. It is said that people who study programming are active in thinking. When he was a bachelor's degree, he preferred art and had a strong interest in the history of Chinese painting and Western painting. Of course, he is familiar with ladies' paintings as a mainstream painting of Chinese figure painting.

Ye Zhiran said: "Chinese ladies' paintings began in the Jin Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty was a period when all aspects of art flourished in Chinese history. Literature, music, and painting all developed to an unprecedented level. The ladies' paintings of the Jin Dynasty paid attention to "showing bones and clear images", and the characters were extraordinary, and painters were represented by Gu Kaizhi. By the Tang Dynasty, ladies' paintings reached a higher level, and many famous artists such as Wu Daozi, Zhang Xuan, and Zhou Fang emerged, and the characters also changed to "full and graceful". The "Lady of Guo State's Spring Tour" and "Lady of Flowers with Flowers" have been passed down to this day, whether it is "red skirts, jealous and killing pomegranate flowers" or "a touch of thick red face slanting", all reflect the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and have always influenced Japan across the sea."

Huang Yuwen's beautiful eyes shine, and she nodded repeatedly, and was very encouraged.

Ye Zhiran said again: "In the Song Dynasty, ladies' paintings gradually developed into 'beauty paintings', and the characters tended to be slender and beautiful, with movement in quiet postures and implicit and tactful expressions. The ladies' paintings of the Song Dynasty focused on expressing the inner feelings of the characters, showing the artistic conception of 'there are poems in the paintings and paintings in the poems', and also focused on realistic. A large number of painters such as Li Gonglin, Chen Juzhong, Li Song, and Mou Yi left behind excellent works."

Huang Yuwen said with praise: "It's right. The ladies' paintings of the Jin Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty have obvious characteristics. The teacher once used three words to summarize the characteristics of the three generations. The ladies' pictures of the Jin Dynasty show the 'virtue beauty' of women, the ladies' pictures of the Tang Dynasty show the 'wealth beauty', and the ladies' pictures of the Song Dynasty show the 'realistic beauty'."

"Yes, the historical origin of ladies' paintings, with famous artists and famous paintings, occupying an important position in Chinese paintings. After the Song Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Ying and Tang Yin focused on showing women's 'secular beauty'. Painters of this period evolved into 'graceful and elegant' in character shapes, paying attention to the symmetrical body shapes. Although there are fine brushwork, freehand paintings, and elegant paintings in the painting methods, they all have the characteristics of both the elegant and the popular."

"Brother Feng, although you are not a painter, you are a good critic." Huang Yuwen was filled with joy when she heard him talk about the history of the paintings of ladies. There was an extra person who knew painting and painting in her life, which was indeed a surprise for her. Looking at Ye Zhiran, who was handsome and elegant, she urged: "Continue to talk."

"After Tang Bohu, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, social turmoil, regime changes, and Manchus ruled China. Literature became pessimistic and world-weary, and the passion of grief and sentimental grief was combined. The art form was exaggerated and transformed, and the aesthetic interest also became strange and weird. Chen Hongshou, Cui Zizhong and others pioneered the "transformed" ladies' drawing method. Later, Fei Danxu and others created the "pathological beauty" picture."

"What do you think about the modern lady pictures?" Unconsciously, Huang Yuwen changed the words and began to ask about his "insights".

"Modern Chinese paintings are increasingly influenced by Western paintings, and their expression techniques have become much richer and closer to various figures in real society. Speaking of modern paintings, I have different views on Zhang Daqian."

"Is it because he destroyed the Dunhuang murals? The truth of this matter seems to be still controversial." Huang Yuwen interjected.

"Destroying murals is a stain on his life. Although there are many people who are waving flags and shouting to argue for him, the facts should not be too different. I remember that when the Chongqing National Government heard the rumors, they specially sent a telegram to the Dunhuang County Magistrate, demanding verification and stopping. I remember the telegram at that time. 'Zhang Daqianjun, who stayed in Dunhuang for a long time, has been very annoying to all parties in the central government. I ordered the Dunhuang County Magistrate to tell Zhang Daqianjun that he would not be slightly defiled about the murals and avoid misunderstandings.' It can be seen that the facts cannot be argued."

"The teacher said that Zhang Daqian lived in Dunhuang for three years in order to copy ancient murals, which shows his persistence and love for art. Although he peeled off several murals, he later called for the establishment of the Dunhuang Research Institute and made efforts to protect Dunhuang murals. Moreover, he and his disciples copied many Dunhuang murals, and later opened a Dunhuang mural exhibition, which also played a certain role in promoting and protecting murals."

"Will you also want to peel off a few murals if you have the chance to see if there are better murals on the inner layer for copying?"

Huang Yuwen stuck out her tongue and said, "Now the country has strictly protected the Dunhuang murals, how is it possible?"

Ye Zhiran looked at her with a smile and said, "What if it is possible? Will you do this too?"

Huang Yuwen thought about it with her head and said, "I don't know, after all, the peeling murals can never be restored."

"Yuwen is right. For the sake of art, you cannot destroy art. I see that your ladies' pictures are quite skilled. As the saying goes, you have specialties in art. I suggest you specialize in painting pictures of ladies. In the future, I will help you hold a large Huang Yuwen painting exhibition together, and your reputation surpasses Zhang Daqian in one fell swoop and become a famous master at home and abroad."

Huang Yuwen blushed and blamed her coquettishly: "It seems that you are serious about what you are saying. If you want to praise others, you can't just talk nonsense like this."

Ye Zhiran turned around and looked at her and said, "Yuwen, this is my sincere hope. You are talented and willing to work hard. Why can't you do what others can do?"

Huang Yuwen said: "But, after you say this, do you know how much pressure you put on me?"

"Then it, we don't do it for fame, just for art. You have to believe in your own talent." Ye Zhiran said softly. He walked to a painting, pointed to the characters in the painting and said, "It is said that the painter is difficult to draw hands by people. But your figure is natural and lifelike, not only painted in detail, but also very vivid. Just looking at this hand, I know what movements she wants to do and what she is thinking in her heart."

"It's really so vivid?" Huang Yuwen raised her face to look at him.

"Yes. Traditional Chinese painting uses lines as the basis for modeling. But you have already downplayed lines and supplemented them with colors and shapes to express the characters. The combination of Chinese and Western styles is very perfect. The reason why I praise your ladies' paintings for breaking through traditional constraints is also because of this. As long as you continue to form your own unique style, inherit the tradition and absorb the characteristics of Western paintings, you will definitely be able to embark on an artistic path of your own characteristics."

"You mean, my ladies' paintings will focus on 'freehand painting' in the future?"

"Yes, 'fine brushwork' emphasizes the use of brushes when every brush is sent. The constraints are too big and it is difficult to break through the original framework. With your intelligence, as long as your vision continues to broaden, freehand painting can better show your advantages, and in the future, it will be wild and create your own painting style."

After hearing this, Huang Yuwen thought about his proposal quietly, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was reasonable. She smiled and said, "The teacher hopes that I specialize in landscapes, and you want me to specialize in ladies. Although you are not a professional painter, why do I think what you said seems to make more sense?"

Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Yuwen, it's not that what I said makes sense, but as an outsider, when I watch your paintings, I feel that your ladies' paintings have more personality and interest."

After stopping, he said: "Painter Zhu is good at landscape painting, and he hopes that students will specialize in landscape nature, which is reasonable."

Huang Yuwen nodded slowly and said, "Let me think about it carefully, but in my heart, I do like to draw female characters more than landscapes."

"You not only like it, but also paint female characters to show the characteristics of the characters. When you look at your own ladies' paintings, each of the characters is very different, but each has its own shape and characteristics, which brings everyone to life."

Huang Yuwen gently slapped her head.

"In prosperous times, love collection, and in troubled times, love gold. It means that in prosperous times, collecting has more potential to preserve value and increase value. Now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and collection will become more and more the preference of rich people. The appreciation space for artworks in the future will exceed everyone's imagination. I want to collect every painting of yours, but I can't pay so much money, and you may not be happy."

Huang Yuwen said: "Of course I can't give it to you all, I want to keep it as a souvenir. However, you don't have to pay for what you like, you can just take it away."

Ye Zhiran said sincerely: "Yuwen, don't belittle yourself. Your paintings will have high value in the future. You work harder and draw more excellent works. When you accumulate a certain amount, we will start a painting exhibition or set up a gallery. At that time, there will be many customers and you will be overwhelmed."

Huang Yuwen said: "I don't care about the price, and I don't make a living by it. I just like painting."

"The price of a work is a measure of the value of a work. Even if you are noble, you cannot avoid being vulgar. If you don't like to deal with money, I will help you with some help, and you just need to paint."
