At the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei Institute of Material Science, learn about the "artificial sun" all superconducting Tokamak device; Before the digital assembly line of the domestically produced C919 aircraft in Nanchang, Jiangxi, people felt the shock brought by the precise riveting of the robotic arm... "It's so fresh!" "Eye opening!" People became excited, taking photos, recording, discussing, and quickly sketching lines and dynamics with their sketching pens in their hands. This is a scene from the "Deep into Life, Rooted in the People" large-scale cultural gathering activity organized by the China Artists Association (Anhui and Jiangxi sections). The roar of machines is no longer noise, but a powerful industrial symphony. ”Yang Zhen, Vice Chairman of the Jiangxi Artists Association, sighed and said, "The landscape imagery depicted by artists has found a contemporary counterpart here - the streamlined body curve, isn't it another vivid charm? The sense of focus when operating precision instruments, isn't it the craftsmanship spirit of this era?" Going to the South China Sea, overcoming difficulties such as bumpy waterways and wind and rain, and delving deep into Hainan's island communities, fishing villages, and outposts; Traveling along the border, shuttling between the Nalati grassland and the Sayram Lake, experiencing the unique natural scenery of Xinjiang; On the plateau, from Linzhi, Xizang, which is about 3100 meters above sea level, to the ancient city of Lhasa, a thousand years old, and then to the border guard station at the foot of the snow mountain, you can experience the power of rural revitalization and national unity... During the "14th Five Year Plan" period, the collection activity of "going deep into life and taking root in the people" continued to advance. Through long-term stops, tracking creation and other ways, the artists deeply understood the struggle process and spiritual world of the people, making the characters in the works more vivid and emotional expression more sincere. The China Artists Association takes the opportunity of 'deep exploration' to incorporate excellent works of art into major theme creation and exhibition systems, promoting the transformation of life materials into artistic masterpieces. ”Introduction by Qu Jian, Secretary of the Party Group and Vice Chairman of the China Artists Association. The 14th Five Year Plan proposes to "take improving quality as the lifeline of literary and artistic works, enhance the ability of literary and artistic originality", "improve the planning and organizational mechanism for the creation of major realistic, revolutionary, and historical themes, strengthen the creation of rural, children's, and other themes, and continuously launch literary and artistic masterpieces that reflect the new atmosphere of the times and praise the new creations of the people". This' mainline 'connects the pearls of artistic creation. On July 15, 2021, the CPC History Exhibition Hall was officially opened to the public. On the square, the five themed sculptures "Flag," "Faith," "Great Achievements," "Overcoming Difficulties," and "Chasing Dreams" stand majestic and awe inspiring. These five sets of sculptures were jointly created by institutions such as the National Art Museum of China, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the China Academy of Art, the Academy of Fine Arts at Tsinghua University, and the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts. The sculpture 'Flag' is like a huge party flag fluttering in the wind, with a magnificent momentum like a rainbow, and the golden party emblem shining brilliantly. Creator and former director of the National Art Museum of China, Wu Weishan, introduced that in order to achieve the best effect, he did not choose mechanical manufacturing for the curved surface of the flag, but instead hand polished it with 50 workers. In every hammering sound of forging stainless steel, there is our loyalty to the Party and our respect for this forever flying flag, "he said. During the "14th Five Year Plan" period, the Chinese art industry focused on such major themes as the centennial of the founding of the Party, poverty alleviation, and Chinese path to modernization, and constantly launched high-quality masterpieces. The "large-scale art creation project to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC" came to a perfect end. Special projects such as the "Glorious History of the Era - Theme Art Works Creation Plan (2025-2027)" were steadily advancing, and a batch of works highlighting the spirit of the times, showing the Chinese atmosphere, and reflecting people's life emerged. Continuing the red bloodline and consolidating spiritual strength - works such as "Red Tide - May Fourth Movement", "Jinggang Spark - Zhu Mao Meeting", "Zunyi Conference", "New China Comes from Here" review revolutionary history and remember the turbulent years. Grasping the pulse of the times and capturing the beautiful scenery of life - works such as "The Harbor of Blue Sea and Blue World - Development of Beibu Gulf Economic Region", "Qinghai Tibet Railway", "Dragon Soaring Great Bay", "Flying Dreams Come True", "Welcome to Yi New Village" depict a beautiful picture of thriving economy and society. What we are going to 'pick' today is not only natural scenery, but also historical scenery, cultural scenery, and life scenery. Overall, it is the scenery of the times. ”Fan Di'an, Chairman of the China Artists Association, said. Nowadays, the figure of art workers not only appears in art studios and workshops, but also busy in the design sites of important national events, fighting in urban streets, grassroots communities, rural border villages, and fields. From the "Bing Dwen Dwen" and "Shuey Rhon Rhon" mascots of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the "Flying" torch, the "Snow Flower" shape of the opening ceremony, to the "Tide" emblem of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the "Firewood" torch, the "Lake Mountain" medal, and to the overall design of Tiananmen Square to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War, artists have combined excellent traditional culture, red culture and contemporary aesthetics with brilliant artistic brushwork to highlight the Chinese spirit, Chinese style, and Chinese style. Go to the place where art is most needed! ”Art village construction has become a hot topic among teachers and students of art colleges in recent years. Beautify the rural environment, transform public spaces, activate traditional handicrafts, develop rural cultural and creative industries, create a rural art season, and coordinate urban and rural construction planning... Art is not just about painting a few walls and erecting a few sculptures. It combines with economic development and social aesthetic education to beautify green mountains and rivers, and also helps villagers build mountains of gold and silver together. Talent cultivation is the foundation of the development of the art industry. ”Qu Jian said, "Among them, a keen sense of the times and cross-border innovation ability are the key, and the responsibility to serve the people and a broad international perspective are the support." "Painting 100," "Design 100," "Handicraft 100," "Children's Picture Book 100,"... One after another, "New Era Youth Art Talent Training Projects" have emerged one after another, building a three-dimensional platform model of "exhibition+forum+incubation+dissemination," promoting young talents to "shoulder the big beam and become the protagonist. Shen Xiaoming, the gold medalist of the 14th National Art Exhibition in 2024 and a doctoral student at the China Academy of Art, participated in the "Painting 100" project. He said, "The older generation of artists will point out various problems in our creation, which gradually makes me realize why artists paint and what perspective they choose to express themselves. These face-to-face 'diagnoses' are very valuable." Young creators are becoming increasingly active, bringing about extensive and profound changes in artistic concepts and practices. According to statistics, in the past five years, the proportion of new literary and artistic groups among national members of the China Artists Association has increased from 12.08% to 19.87%; In the first China Digital Art Exhibition, 87.6% of young exhibitors chose to use AI technology to assist in their creations, and 32.4% of their works achieved cross media interaction. Exquisite masterpieces are constantly emerging, art exhibitions are colorful and vibrant, the integration of science and art is flourishing, and young talents are galloping... To paint portraits of the people and depict the mountains and rivers, the power of art is endless, adding the most touching and brilliant brilliance to the times. (New Society)
