The countryside of 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 countryside, the unique village residential buildings, rural customs, and other unique cultural styles, despite the continuous erosion of years, are still standing on the vast land of the motherland. “Homesickness” has become the “Babaylan 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 of their ancestors’ residences, so that the increasingly empty and empty villages will be revitalized and revitalized, so that rural development will 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 through expressing traditional rural 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 we use the artistic talents we have mastered to create and realize our vision, so that this fertile land butterfly becomes a beautiful spiritual home that is 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 and the environment. At the same time, the nourishment of art moisturizes things silently, and put all our artistic conceptions and energy storage into this practice to the greatest extent.
UsAll works are interpreted by traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art.
The performance art of “Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era” was sprouted by the author’s association with the “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest” from a local bamboo forest. 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 Mr. Wu Hongliang studying Chinese painting, titled “Source Bamboo in the 5G era”, which originated from a sentence in a poem “Dreams of Agile and Flying Words” in Xichuan. Although we all 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 people” series, which uses the spiritual power given by the daily life scenes and objects in rural areas as cultural background, and uses local idle resources as the basic media for creation. As urbanized, we are almost unfamiliar with these stoves that use wood to make fire, hand-cranked rice trucks, water wheels on foot, and hand-pushed stone mills in rural daily life, but decades ago, these objects were necessary tools for our daily lives. The land gods, door gods, etc. of rural customs and habits were almost gone in modern urban life…… Rural life established a “familiar stranger” for modern people!
After the inspiration of teachers and the background of the daily necessities and local customs and folk customs of those daily necessities, our souls were first baptized.
《Song of the Rice Cart》
《Gate God》
The 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, hoping to arouse people’s associations with the thousands of years of farming civilization, and to alert people to the issue of food, clothing, housing and transportation. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan attaches importance to it, and then perceives the hard-wonderful days today, which leads to praise for a happy life.
“Good Days”
“Water Dragon Sound” is a set of ancient and modern regulated poems that chant water wheels in the expression of traditional calligraphy and verify with the old water wheels, so that they can be considerable, readable, appreciated, and can also be imagined, especially on the walls in Dong Qichang’s style<a The calligraphy works written in Komiks are in harmony with a water wheel on the ground. The leisurely and leisurely life of people in the farming era seems to be right in front of them.
“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 presenting it in the exhibition hall together with the physical objects in the seal. 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 the large square array of multi-person works and the small square array of personal works to show different views. Komiks to show their advantages, echoing the size and seeing each other’s heights, presenting them in a “verified the present” way. We hope that people’s back and forth between different groups can produce another Cinema A touching touch.
“Certification of the World”
“Red Brick Introduction”, whether the extension of traditional calligraphy can be connected with contemporary art is one of the topics that the author has been striving to explore.
“Red Brick Introduction”
“Green Mountains and Green Waters Ancient and Modern Times” series presents our understanding and appeals for green mountains and green waters.

“Maybe it is a bunch of “bad words””, which attempts to unify the Internet buzzwords with humor and ridicule, deep thought and joke, funny and “sovereignty”. From the must-have words for online communication to becoming the current catchphrase, “alternative” enriches the lives of people in contemporary society. This is the contradiction between tradition and innovation, introvert and ostentatiousness. Because of the problems of such trendy Internet languages with word norms, game-style language, grammatical errors, vulgarity and other problems, it determines the long-term nature of its life cycle, and it is even a flash in the pan, but it is a replica of every day in the current society. It is the observation of certain phenomena, and some words are even rebellious, innovative, and ostentatious.
“Maybe a bunch of “bad words””
“Open the folded book”, a dictionary, “Modern Chinese Dacihai”, is compiled externally, and includes Internet buzzwords in “non-canon” way. The title has two meanings: one is the meaning of “folding”. It is popular now or once popular, KomiksAs time and space pass and change, it is constantly obscured or appears and disappears, or is cross-overlapping; 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.
“Open the Folded Book”
We hope to transform our full affection for the countryside and the earth into daily things in the countryside, and integrate wisdom into works with the light of ideals. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema, to infect and motivate people. We express our feelings to traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. Through the display of calligraphy, painting and printing art, Babaylan is a new medium that carries ancient oriental culture, which is also a unique presentation, either behavior, concept, installation, or just an exploration.
Through this practice of Komiks, we believe that if the traditional calligraphy and painting form is reset to a living space without villagers, is it a bit of doubt that “the skin is not left with hair” may appear inconsistent and affect the appreciation of the artistic quality of the works. How to expand the development of the land is the art of the art of building a rural areaCinema A very worthy topic. 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 the space of our work display, as the position of the work changes, a new display space is born again. The author calls it the “topology of the ground”. 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. Even in a moment, the beauty of the globe will also prompt people’s love and yearning for a better life. If they can be integrated with culture and tourism, they 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.
