Zhang Naicheng introduced them to his own path of art: In 1949, I was born in Zhangzhuang Village on the banks of the Huixiang River in Fengdengwu Town, Fengrun District, Hebei Province, and I liked to draw and splash water in my childhood, especially river shrimp. Raising shrimp at home, watching shrimp, studying the habits of river shrimp, and the posture of shrimp jumping into the water are remembered in the heart. When I became an adult and worked in the municipal government, I often had the opportunity to go out, so I went to study and exchange, and I got the true transmission of The Master of Chinese Painting, Jiang Yunong, who treated me like a son and taught me carefully. This has led to the rapid development of painting skills. Elder Jiang was honest and kind, not only taught me to paint, but also taught me how to be a person and how to practice art. Later, he was guided and cultivated by Master Wang Xuetao, a disciple of Qi Baishi, and absorbed the essence and formed his own painting style.
This painting is the proud work of Mr. Zhang Naicheng, the composition is harmonious, fresh and elegant, the green and stretched lotus leaves, the ink color is suitable, the lotus flowers are beautiful and not vulgar, and the buds protruding from the head under the lotus leaves seem to be a little shy, not contentious, and have expectations. A few newborn shoots contrast with large lotus leaves, echoing up and down, and harmonizing. Several lively river shrimp, flexible and lively, lifelike, full of demeanor, ink color of the shades, so that the shrimp body crystal clear, a stroke of a section, several strokes in a row, the formation of shrimp waist from thick to thin rhythm sense, with the change of pen, shrimp waist presents various forms. There are those who bow forward, those who wander with straight waists, and those who curl up and play in the water. With the thick ink vertical point as the finishing touch, the horizontal writing as the brain, the ink into gold, the fine brush stroke whiskers, claws, large ao, rigid and soft, the front claws of the shrimp from thin to thick, the two jaws are shaped like pliers, there are openings and closings, the lines have virtual and real, and the brushwork is condensed. Zhang Lao's shrimp, from life but beyond life, jumped on the paper, as if playing and swimming in the water, the tentacles also seem to be unmoving, bold generalization and simplification, more wonderful pen conveyance. The whole picture is moving and static, and the nature is beautiful.
Success is always obtained in the pursuit of no regrets, Zhang Naicheng, the year of Hua Jia, has been groping for half a century in the field of Chinese painting. He absorbed the techniques and charm of traditional Chinese painting. After years of dedication, continuous innovation, on the basis of tradition, dissolved into creation, self-contained. Liu Dawei, chairman of the China Artists Association, greatly appreciated Zhang Naicheng's paintings, calling them "majestic, calm and calm, giving people artistic appreciation and spiritual enjoyment." The painting master Han Meilin looked at his painting and praised: "Naicheng relies on the painted shrimp works made of ink, giving people a fresh breath and enjoying an infinite feeling." ”
Zhang Naicheng's paintings not only enjoy a high reputation in China, but are also often exported overseas and sent to the United States, Japan, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other regions as a national gift.
Zhang Wenqiang, secretary of the party branch of Zhangzhuang Village, Fengdengwu Town, Fengrun District, Hebei Province, said: In 2009, Zhang Naicheng returned to his hometown after retirement, and under the fame of not forgetting his father and fellow villagers, he worked hard for the construction of new rural areas and added bricks and tiles. In the past four years, more than 2 million yuan has been raised to pave cement pavement, install street lamps, build village committee office buildings, villagers' activity centers, etc., which has made Zhangzhuang Village undergo earth-shaking changes, and has been supported by the people of the whole village, known as "the master of Chinese painting walking on the public welfare road".
