How much effort and energy does it take to copy one of China's top ten famous paintings, "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", one by one on rice paper with a fine white outline pen, according to the original 1:1 ratio? ?

Now only 13-year-old Zhuo Yuxin, a first-grade girl from Jiangbei District Middle School in Dongyang City, spent 8 months alone copying a painting of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that is 528.7cm long and 24.8cm wide. .

On May 8, at Zhuo Yuxin’s art training institution, the reporter encountered this clearly copied version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". All I can see in the painting is that from the character's muscle lines, to the overlapping structures of houses, highways and bridges, the brushwork is meticulous and there is no trace of clutter.

According to statistics, the original painting design contains nearly a thousand characters, more than 60 livestock, 28 ships, more than 30 houses, 20 cars, 8 sedans, and more than 170 flowers, plants and trees. Compared with the original work, Zhuo Yuxin's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is no less perfect. It vividly and shockingly displays the spring scenery in the countryside of Bianjing, the busy Bianhe Port, and the bustling urban streets and communities during the Northern Song Dynasty.

“The celebrities and wireframes in the paintings, let alone copying, make me dizzy just looking at them. And she often becomes obsessed with painting. During the holidays, from broad daylight to night, she would paint for 9 hours. , it often takes a few urgings before he is willing to stop writing." Zhuo Yuxin's father said heartbrokenly when he saw the great energy his daughter put into her work.

Copying "The Garden Along the River During the Qingming Festival" requires strong painting skills. How can a 13-year-old child have such a cultural heritage in painting? It turned out that Zhuo Yuxin's cousin Zhuo Hongping was an art teacher at Dongyang No. 2 Middle School. She had grown up with her cousin, and when she was only 5 months old, she was left by Zhuo Hongping to immerse herself in the art studio. Zhuo Yuxin has systematically studied everything from children's creative paintings, to Western sketches and watercolors, to meticulous line drawings in Chinese paintings.

Before copying "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", Zhuo Yuxin had already copied Wu Daozi's traditional religious painting "Eighty-seven Immortals" which is nearly 3 meters long. The difficulty of "Along the River During Qingming Festival" is much higher than that of "Eighty-seven Immortals".

""Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is a long scroll, using the composition rules of scattered perspective to incorporate the complicated scenery into a unified and varied painting. In particular, the painting floats smoothly and the pen and ink are vigorous The full line drawing of fine brushwork fully demonstrates Zhang Zeduan's superb artistic expression level. "Zhuo Hongping said that Zhuo Yuxin must be alert at all times during the copying process, and must not be lazy in a single stroke. To be able to endure loneliness requires a lot of enthusiasm and perseverance, which is indeed a very big test for a child who is only 13 years old.

In March of this year, Zhuo Hongping’s teacher Wang Xiongfei, a professor and master’s tutor at the Institute of Rock Painting at the China Academy of Art, rushed to Dongyang and saw Zhuo Yuxin’s copy of “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” "After that, he continued to pay attention and like: "So far, I have never seen such a young child in the Chinese art world. It is really admirable to copy "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to such a detailed level."< /p>

Zhuo Yuxin is very happy to be recognized by Wang Xiongfei, and it also builds her confidence in learning and completing Chinese painting. "Copying "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" allowed me to feel the unique charm of Chinese painting and realize the long history of traditional Chinese culture. Next, I will further study the art of traditional Chinese painting and promote Chinese painting." Zhuo Yuxin said.
