Why does Cui Yongyuan paint chickens and more roosters? I can't answer this question. I have to ask his Master Du Benji.
His master is not simple, he is a descendant of the royal family of the Du clan, Xu Beihong's second disciple, and a student of Mr. Chen Mo, is a comprehensive artist who integrates poetry, calligraphy, painting, and printing.
As the old saying goes, famous teachers make good students.
As for the rooster level of Cui Yongyuan's paintings, because Chinese ink paintings are freehand paintings, the water is too deep, let alone for the time being.
However, it can be understood from another side. For example, since Cui Yongyuan posted his own rooster on Weibo three years ago, he has commented like this: “There used to be Li Keran’s cattle, Qi Baishi’s shrimp, Xu Beihong’s horse, Huang Zhou’s donkey, etc. Now I see Cui Yongyuan again. Don’t all the chickens rejoice?” All the roosters described by Cui Yongyuan are full of energy, and their freehand brushwork is superb, especially the title and title, which are very interesting.
For example: "Standing Picture" title "Do not kneel or bow your head, you can also not call, stand up to the wind is a gentleman", "View on View" title "Do your own thing, fair competition", "Competing for strength at this time"...
Isn't such an over-the-picture voice the solemnity behind Cui Yongyuan's "slanted smile"?
Not only that, Cui Yongyuan posted a rooster painting on Weibo, and the text is also humorous, and there are words outside the painting, which can be called a masterpiece outside the painting.
For example: "I will draw three more chickens in one go. Chickens are sometimes fierce. If you feed more, you will obey them. But if you can bite anyone, you have to be a dog. A chicken will die with a chuck. If you don’t die, you’ll be more fierce.”
Another example: “It’s better to draw a chicken instead of asking for orders!”
For this reason, some netizens gave him a nickname: the living Buddha with chicken mouth!
Jing Yidan once went to school to see Cui Yongyuan, and unexpectedly saw a painting by Cui Yongyuan in an inconspicuous place. She wrote what she saw and thought at the time in an article, "A black rooster in a fighting state, facing a cricket, the inscription says'You can fight it'. I pondered before that painting, Xiao Cui Sometimes it's really hard work!" As Jing Yidan said, "Where he is, he is Xiao Cui, I don't care about which'unit' he belongs to. Even where he belongs, it is not that important.", because "he He is a fighter, and he often confronts troubles and rushes to the past. It is not his personal interest, and he does not care about it, and he has a good fight." The incident in the entertainment industry of
once again confirmed this sentence.
even draws a chicken, this is Cui Yongyuan, this is his face.
A gentleman who can truly distinguish between love and hatred, a fighter who can truly act, and a contemporary Lu Xun who truly does not fear power.
Finally, let's take a look at Cui Yongyuan's chicken painting works!
