Nowadays, with the popularity of online video, some so-called "fake masters" have stepped onto the stage of "clowns", which not only humiliates people, but also insults the two sacred words of art. I don't know that real art needs accumulation and inspiration. In Guizhou, there is such an eccentric "Song Zhongchuan". Because of his obsession with painting, he closed himself in a cave and devoted himself to research, eventually becoming a generation of grassroots "painters". The free and easy nature of his works is admirable. (Image from IC photo)

Song was born in Goupitan, yuqing county, Zunyi City. He likes painting very much since he was a child. But because of his poor family, he didn't get any good painting skills. He had no choice but to use branches, bamboo poles and chalk instead of brushes, and use "comic books" as materials to imitate the graphics on old newspapers or walls. As time went on, he drew a decent picture. After dropping out of school in the second year of junior high school, in order to supplement his family, he set up a stall to paint portraits for people and earned a meager income. But this is far from his dream, and the township area is very noisy, which is not conducive to his inspiration, so generate decided to find a cave to live in seclusion and start his own painting career.

In order to achieve the highest painting skills, he spends all his time painting except eating and sleeping. Over time, there are thousands of his successful works, involving landscapes, customs, historical figures and other themes. Since then, Song has been painting in this cave. By chance, a leader in the town heard his story and was greatly moved, so he decided to pull a wire for him and get an electric light from the cave. (Image from IC photo)

In order to get the greatest peace and inspiration, Song has created in three caves. Today, the cave he painted is about 60 square meters. The stone pillars, stalagmites and stalactites in the cave are all in different shapes, which is completely original and very conducive to production. It is here that he was inspired. A closer look at the decoration in the cave is not so complicated, except for a bed, a painting case, a coffee table and no extra equipment. (Image from IC photo)

Although Song has always lived a life of "detachment", economic difficulties are inevitable. After all, it is necessary to eat. So at this time, he will go to Zunyi and Guiyang to sell paintings. But he never peddled in the street, but sold it to dealers at a low price and went home for a little money, so everyone called him "painting monster" (Image from IC photo)

Over the years, the story of Zhong Cave's painting spread like wildfire, and many foreign painting and calligraphy institutes invited him to participate in the exhibition, so he gradually entered people's field of vision. For some people's painting requirements, Song was also very generous and painted them at will. If he doesn't give it, he won't take it. (Image from IC photo)
