There used to be a folk song here: "If the door is crowded, nave's calligraphy and painting are hung all over the wall? Goh Chok Tong is sitting in the main hall, with Zhang Taiping on both sides ... "This is indeed a vivid portrayal of Xiaoxian people's love for painting and calligraphy. Lin Biao and the Gang of Four carried out a brutal "mopping-up" of the culture and art of the motherland.
The people in Xiaoxian County love Chinese painting more and more. In Xiaoxian Museum, we saw many calligraphy and paintings preserved by the dying people. Tamia Liu Township Hospital-More than a dozen calligraphy and paintings donated by the old Chinese medicine doctor were preserved after many transfers during the Cultural Revolution. Now when you visit some people, you will not only see beautifully framed paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls, but also take out famous ancient and modern paintings that have been collected for many years for your appreciation.
In Haoji Township, the reporter interviewed Hu Guang, an old farmer with a low education level, who had a story of "drawing a picture from the fire". At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, in the "Sweeping Four Books" campaign directed by Lin Biao and the Gang of Four aimed at destroying the cultural heritage of the motherland, many calligraphy and paintings collected by the people for many years or even generations were copied out and burned in public as "Four Books". Once, Hu Guang saw a painting by Li Kuchan in front of a pile of burning calligraphy and painting. He didn't consider the danger of being caught editing and hitting a stick, and went forward to rescue him. Later, he wrote to Li Kuchan to talk about it. After reading the letter, Li Kuchan was deeply moved. He wrote him two letters in a row to express his gratitude, and specially drew a picture of EULAN SPA01 as a souvenir for him. Since then, Hu Guang, an old farmer, has forged a deep friendship with Li Kuchan, a painter. Some professional artists in Xiaoxian often go deep into factories and rural areas to paint and evaluate paintings with amateur Chinese painting lovers, learn from each other's strong points and improve each other.
