Yizi
grew up in the north of China. Warm air is full of this area though the land of here is a
little stiff. On this flat ground, because of the edification of his father, Yizi accepted
the excellent traditional art and deceived to pursue the inside-painting art when he was a
child. With the enthuse to the
art, he past the examination to an art school, during the three years at school, Yizi
absorbed the soul of the painting art, drew a lot of ink wash painting and sketches. It is
the providence and also a good chance for him to choose the inside-painting art as his
career. Also we can say it is the art's fortune, because in the circle of the
inside-painting artists, maybe just Yizi himself had ever received the formal art
education. Maybe just because of this point, we believe that Yizi have enough strength to
realize his dream of the art.
From the beginning of his research work, he had paid attention to learn the soul of the
traditional art. The difference between the inside-painting and other arts comes from the
character of the process of its making. Lack of creativity and limited in the custom picture��fairy story��hero of the history is its
obvious shortcoming. Yizi surveyed the development of the art, broken up the custom of
"fawning on the tradition".
Though Hengshi is a small city, it is the hometown of Hebei style of the inside-painting
art. Born in this city, Yizi is not just contented with this. Yizi has his own view to the
tradition of the inside-painting art and the crisis that we face today. "The
inside-painting art should be created constantly" "The inside-painting on the
snuff-bottle has no practical value today, so it should follow the developing regulation
of the art". He had done a lot to approve these. Ten years ago, just as a young man,
he cried for these theories, but could influence nothing. But he knew, "using the
excellent work to provide his though is more important than anything". He walked step
by step in the last ten years. This contains his spirit of "never giving up till
people are surprised at his idea".
