Embracing the Moon in Lotus Pond

        "A bright moon with thousand volumes of poetry". After the long-term tempering of numerous literati and poets, the "moon" with its unique characteristics, has become an important symbolic image of Chinese culture.

        Regardless of the rise and fall of the world as well as the change of dynasties, the moon is still constantly brigt and clear. "Life is endless from generation to generation, only the moon on the river is always the same year after year". The bright moon is infinite and the beautiful scenes are countless, while life is short "as morning dew". Only by devoting myself to the art that I love, spiritually touring in the boundless moonlight and lotus fragrance, thinking with the concentration of thousands of years, generalizing the vast world into the image as well as blending all kinds of things on earth under the pen, these often make me forget all the worries and get temporary detachment in the aesthetic pleasure.

       Auguste Rodin once said, "The nature seen by the artist is different from the nature in the eyes of ordinary people." In the time with the lotus and the moon, the moon is no longer just a distant planet, while the lotus is no longer only a gentleman among the flowers. They are all my close friends and confidants. The poetic language is used in this series of paintings to depict the poetic moonlit night in the summer lotus pond. With water as the soul, each work seems to be immersed in the water through the infiltration and blending of water, with a fresh breath. The picture is soft, moist, hazy, implicit and fresh, with the moon shining everywhere. As Zhu Ziqing wrote in the "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", "The moonlight, like running water, flows quietly on this leaf and flower. The thin mist floats in the lotus pond. Leaves and flowers seem to have been washed in milk. They are also like a dream with a light veil." I have tried my best to produce a feeling of blending with each other. Between reality and dream, it creates a kind of special charm that makes people drunk and a kind of artistic conception of beauty with a combination of spirit and form as well as rich imagination.

        In this series of expressing meaning with objects, the pursuit of the inner spirit and aura is applied to watercolor painting. These spirits and auras are embodied in the presentation of the artistic conception of poetry. It seeks the ethereal, far-reaching and virtual reality of artistic connotation in the romantic and unrestrained artistic conception, in order to explore an extraordinary realm of national combination of poetry and painting.
