Dou Guangming said that this section of the river occupies 12 meters on the long scroll, and mainly presents three bright spots, one is the bridge connecting Sichuan and Yunnan, the Jiming Three Provinces Bridge, the second is the Guoha Gorge, the source of the Chishui River in Zhenxiong County, Yunnan Province, and the third is the Yibi Expressway.

"In the process of collecting style and sketching, my works mainly highlight the beauty of the mountains and waters in the Chishui River Basin, and also show some tourism scenes, such as the stone carvings of Wugongyan's 'Meijiu River' and the scenery along the coast, and then through the depiction of production bases such as Lang Distillery and Xi Distillery, the important role of 'Meijiu River' in the development of the wine industry is reflected."

Industry convergence
The development of the Chishui River Basin jumped on paper
The story of the heroic Chishui River originates from the historical feat of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army crossing the Chishui River in four directions, and the red mark is the finishing touch of the "Hero Chishui River 100-meter Picture Scroll". As the main creator of the 100-meter-long scroll painting, Shi Yang is deeply touched by this.
"Through the creation of the "Hero Chishui River 100-meter Picture Scroll", we deeply realized that today's good days are the true meaning of the blood of revolutionary martyrs." Shi Yang said that through the collection of historical materials and the collection of wind on the spot, it seems to make people return to that era of war and truly understand the heroic feats of the ancestors who swerved around on the Chishui River. "Therefore, when dealing with the chishui river channel, it was not so wide, so I deliberately widened the river channel in the composition, using two colors of cinnabar and ochre, and allegorically painted the Chishui River as a red river."
It is worth mentioning that in Guizhou Tucheng, Yuanhou and other areas with unique red history, the painters have retained the basic characteristics of revolutionary sites in composition by reading a large number of ancient books and field sketches, and in the form of expression, they have highlighted the waves and clouds of the mountain shape, and showed the hardships of the Red Army crossing the Red Army in four directions with artistic techniques.
Not only the red culture, but also the industrial development along the Chishui River is also vibrant.
It is known as the "Red Water River, Eternal Flow." In the painter's brush, wine and soy sauce are naturally indispensable, and elements such as lychee, true dragon grapefruit, and dendrobium of Hejiang are indispensable.
In the Hejiang section of the 100-meter painting scroll, the main creative painter Xie Yuerong's pen, the soy sauce on the Chishui River in The Xianshi Town of Hejiang County, the Zhangwan Industrial Park distributed along the coast, and the lychee and true dragon grapefruit bases have all jumped on the paper.
Xie Yuerong said that the 100-meter painting not only shows the majestic beauty of mountains and rivers, the beauty of the prosperity of the city's carriages and horses, but also in the subtleties of the work, the painters have also been carefully carved, and the small beauty found in the field sketching is integrated into the work, adding a fine texture to the 100-meter picture scroll.
Feng Zhizhi, chairman of the Hejiang County Artists Association and the main creative painter of the Erlang Section of the 100-meter Painting Scroll, said that the long-form masterpiece "Hero Chishui River 100-meter Picture Scroll" is of great significance, which is not only the result of the sincere cooperation and collective creation of many painters in Luzhou, but also a successful practice of inheriting and carrying forward the "China Chishuihe Painting School".
