The original idea of Gao Cheng's painting "The Spring and Autumn Painting of the Ancient Ferry" was to record the buildings and folk customs that once existed on this land, so that future generations can understand the past of Xianyang through it. "Wang Yuanli, a 70 year old man in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, said in an interview with China News Agency. Wang Yuanli, who has loved painting since childhood, has lived in Xianyang City for over half a century. He loves this city and yearns for everything on this land. With the rapid development of the city, the living environment around it is also changing rapidly. Many places that Wang Yuanli used to be familiar with have now changed their appearance. In order to retain the beautiful memories in his heart, Wang Yuan spent more than a year drawing a 14 meter scroll called "The Ancient Crossing of Spring and Autumn". The picture shows a merchant from the Western Regions holding a camel. Many places I have visited in the past, some of which have already been demolished, and some are only half left. I think it's really a pity and I want to save them with my own brush. "Wang Yuanli said that in order to make the scenes of" The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ancient Ferry "more realistic, he often visited the streets and alleys of Xianyang City in the two years before writing, chatting with the elderly living nearby, We have collected a large amount of information about ancient architecture and folk customs. The picture shows the merchant ship depicted in the picture. Gao Cheng took photos from ordinary people to merchants in the Western Regions, from Guoshi Street to Dalianghang. In the "Picture of the Ancient Ferry Spring and Autumn Festival", there are people watching plays, scholars visiting Confucian temples, merchants and pawns leading horses and camels, and children wandering around the city. The picture shows Wang Yuanli introducing the architecture in the picture. In addition, Gao Cheng also depicted many famous ancient buildings in Xianyang, such as Chenghuang Temple, Confucian Temple, Fengsheng Temple, etc. These buildings all present their unique charm and historical value. Wang Yuanli said that he hopes to let more people understand the beauty and history of Xianyang City through this painting, and also hopes to make his own contribution to the protection of cultural heritage in this city. Folk customs and traditions are the cultural heritage and traditions of a city, as well as the memories of the older generation. Wang Yuanli smiled and said, 'I haven't had any other hobbies in my life, only I love painting. In the future, he will continue to create with the theme of people's lives and pass down these memories.'. (New News Agency)
