The reason why Beizhen calligraphy and painting flourished under Gu Yue has a long history and the efforts of contemporary people. The Yiwulu Mountain in Beizhen has gathered painters from all directions since ancient times, and some famous painters have come here to paint. Yelubei, the king of Dongdan in Liao Dynasty, and Xiao, the princess of Qin Jin; Wen Fu, Xirao Nian, Wang Enlong, Wang Yuzhou, Cao Yushan and Chen Xiuting in Qing Dynasty were all famous painters. Ye Lubei, the prince of Liao Dynasty, the king of Dongdan, once founded a school at the top of Lushan Mountain, studying literature and painting. His traditional Chinese painting "Shooting Ride" entered the secret room of the Song Dynasty and was included in "Xuanhe Painting", which is now collected by the National Palace Museum in Taipei and the National Art Museum in Boston, USA. The disciple of Gao, a court painter in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote Yi Shan Tu, which is now in the collection of Liaoning Museum. Nowadays, Beizhen has formed a large-scale painting and calligraphy group. Attracted by the nature of Beizhen, they created a batch of ink paintings full of life. They innovate on the basis of traditional literati paintings, and their works are fresh in artistic conception, concise in pen and ink, and their local feelings leap out. The most amazing thing is the pure and simple local flavor and the strong and frank northland interest in the painting.
Zhang Ding, a famous painter in Beizhen (born in Zhutun, Beizhen Temple), once said before his death: "The painters in Beizhen are professional in techniques and cultivated. They convey emotions through pen and ink, and the scenes blend with each other, giving life to the works. " When talking about the reasons for the development of Lushan Painting Association, Zhang Ding believes that there are three points: First, there is the nourishment of mountains and rivers. As one of the five famous towns in China, Lushan Mountain is favored by emperors and celebrities of past dynasties for its majestic beauty and picturesque scenery. Many scholars and writers came in droves, forming the Lushan cultural circle, which endowed the northern town painters with magical power. Secondly, the painters in Lushan Mountain have a clear concept of painting. They are not bound by the current trend, but they have frank artistic temperament and persistent spirit. They regard painting as the primary motivation to express their feelings and cultivate their sentiments, so their works are pure. Third, the beautiful environment and cultural accumulation of Beizhen have created a batch of painters. They are United and pragmatic, assiduously study art, learn from each other's strong points, and form an environmental atmosphere for artistic creation. Zhang Ding said: "The painters in my hometown Beizhen often come to me, and I sometimes go back to my hometown to learn from them and exchange sketches. I am glad that there are so many people in my hometown who are obsessed with the cause of Chinese painting. I am excited by their persistent spirit and appreciate and shout for their works. It was Lushan Mountain that raised me and the painters in Beizhen. I love Lushan Mountain, and I love the diligent and enterprising artists in my hometown. "
