Elaborate painting on the Yellow River stone
For the students who grew up by the Yellow River, the Yellow River stone is very familiar, but it is a very interesting thing for the students to become a work of art under the ingenuity of the ordinary stones. In the art class, under the guidance of teacher Ma Yulan, the students were immersed in the joy of creation, and each stroke was full of passion.

The students said that under the teacher's explanation, they knew that the Yellow River stone painting is a fusion of traditional fine brushwork and freehand, oil painting and ink, color painting art and modern aesthetic elements, relying on the natural texture of the stone, with delicate lines and a variety of colors, depicting the demeanor of flowers, trees, fish and insects, and expressing the interest of rare birds and birds. From the preliminary understanding of the Yellow River stone works, and then under the careful guidance of teacher Ma Yulan, we selected the stone with rich texture and delicate surface texture, supplemented by pen and ink, decorated and meticulously carved, and each piece of exclusive self-work was created.
The pleasure of creating on stone
Liu Yang, a student in the second (5) class of high school, said that although she did not have profound art skills, she created a expressive work that surprised her in a Yellow River stone painting class - a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Yang feels that the greatest pleasure of using stone as a medium for painting is that the shape of the stone will become a source of inspiration for creative ideas. Because any defect on the stone may become the basis for a beautiful and expressive work, such as the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang created in class this time, in fact, because the shape of this stone looks like a long face, and it is slightly irregular, which makes Liu Yang suddenly think of the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang that he once saw in the book, but he didn't expect it to be really expressive.
Yang Jikai, who has loved painting since he was a child, was inspired by Mr. Ma to draw a beautiful sunset on an oval Yellow River stone, which was reflected in the river and sparkling, supplemented by the gradation of bright yellow and orange slowly unfolded. Because painting on the Yellow River Stone not only needs to conceive the shape and background color of the stone, but also in the process of painting, we will take into account the texture of the stone itself, and will use our imagination to develop more whimsical works of art. ”
Let beauty quietly sprout in the hearts of students
As an art teacher at the school, Ma Yulan actively promotes the Yellow River stone painting into art teaching, and is good at inspiring students in teaching, not only is she obsessed with the world of stone creation, but also brings this unique art to the classroom. Those stones of various forms, those cold individuals who were originally lifeless, were "turned into gold" by Ma Yulan, and had a new "vitality", "The children are now getting better with a positive attitude, through continuous attempts and repeated practice." Ma Yulan said that the experience of the Yellow River stone painting not only allows students to understand and appreciate the beauty of the Yellow River stone painting, but also allows students to know how to use their own works to express emotions and embellish life, so that life and art complement each other. Ma Yulan took local materials and painted on the Yellow River stone, so that the cold stone had a temperature, which not only attracted school students, but even many students' parents and teachers couldn't hold it back, and followed Ma Yulan to learn the Yellow River stone painting. Ma Yulan said: "I am also very happy that there are people who are willing to learn.

Do you have a "pestle and mortar friend"?
Students like to make friends, so what idioms can you think of related to making friends? Maybe students often hear Mo Zhi Jiao, Jin Lan Zhi Jiao, etc., and there is also an idiom that everyone may not be familiar with to describe making friends, which is worth talking about here, that is, "杵臼之交" (chǔ jiù zhī jiāo), which means a metaphor for making friends regardless of wealth and status.
The "pestle" is the wooden stick of the rice, and the "mortar" is the stone mortar that holds the rice. This idiom comes from the Southern Dynasty Song Fan Ye's "Later Han Shu Wu You Biography": "Gong Shamu came to study in Tai, and he had no food, but he changed into a guest servant and rented for You." You and Yu were shocked, so they decided to hand over to the pestle and mortar. ”
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a poor and studious scholar named Gong Shamu. He studied hard for a long time, but he always thought that his learning was limited, and he wanted to enter the capital Taixue to continue his studies, but his family was poor and had no money to study in Taixue. So, wearing coarse cloth clothes, Gong Shamu went to Wu You's house, who had served as Qi Xiang, Changshi and other official positions, to work as a rice worker. One day, Gong Shamu was cooking rice, and Wu You saw that Gong Shamu was polite and polite, not at all like a rough worker, so he talked to him. During the conversation, Wu You found that Gongshamu was very knowledgeable and insightful. So Wu You, despite the disparity between rich and poor, became friends with him in front of the pestle and mortar and sponsored him to continue his studies. Later, Gongshamu became a righteous official with a good career.
In feudal society, there was a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, and there was a strict hierarchy. It is rare for a rich man of status to condescend to make friends with a poor scholar, so it is rumored to be a good story. (Rushing News reporter Yang Liang)
