He was awarded the honorary title of “2012 Chinese Art Model” in the 2012 Chinese Art Model Selection. Won the "Best Creation Award" in the first Cultural and Art Innovation Outstanding Achievement Award selection event.

Looking through Yang Fan’s introduction, they are all very important titles: national first-class artist, people’s artist, AIDS prevention publicity ambassador, Zhenghe Island Blue Island relative, current state guest artist, central state agency Member of the Calligraphers Association, member of the Calligraphy Art Committee of the Chinese Couplet Society, vice chairman of the Chinese Calligraphy Artists Association... Among his many identities, I found that in addition to the highest honors in the professional field, he also participated in many public welfare activities. Yang Fan said that "conscience" is a value in life that he values ????very much.

The word "conscience" originated from the Yasheng Mencius and has a history of more than 2,000 years. 500 years ago, Mr. Wang Yangming, a great Confucian of the Ming Dynasty, combined the "investigation of things to achieve knowledge" in universities and Mencius' "conscience" into one, and proposed the three-character mantra of "promoting conscience" as the core method for Chinese self-cultivation and achievement - - Yang Fan believes that conscience is the sense of right and wrong that everyone is born with, and conscience can distinguish between good and evil; "to have conscience" means to continue to follow the call of conscience to do good and avoid evil, that is, "to do things with conscience." Based on the understanding and persistence of these two words, Yang Fan uses "conscience" to express his career and contributes to society with "conscience". It is precisely because of this that he also saw the "conscience" in the people of Zhenghe Island, felt the "beauty of the business world" of entrepreneurs, and established a rare "family relationship" between them.

Situation comes from the heart - this is the Zhenghe Island deep in Yang Fan's heart!

Speaking of our calligrapher Yang Fan, he actually did not have a calligraphy major. Because the university did not have a calligraphy major at that time, Yang Fan had no choice but to switch to oil painting, but he could never let go of that brush. Perhaps due to his talent, Yang Fan has been passionate about calligraphy since he was a child, and with his hard work, he has achieved great achievements in calligraphy. In the 1980s, computers had not yet become popular, and people were accustomed to writing by hand. There were many people who were good at handwriting, and Yang Fan was one of them. With his love for calligraphy and his confidence in himself, when Yang Fan saw the news about the calligraphy competition, he felt a little excited. He wanted to participate. Firstly, he could try out what level his skills were in the eyes of professional judges. Secondly, he wanted to participate in the competition. Maybe you can make some extra money, the best of both worlds. Thus, there was the first calligraphy competition in Yang Fan's life. This competition may also be a reminder from God. Somehow, Yang Fan finally determined his favorite career direction.

The first competition took place in Shanghai. Hundreds of thousands of people participated. Although Yang Fan’s work only won a consolation prize, it completely inspired this young man obsessed with calligraphy to pursue this path. determination. Since then, he has been thinking about one thing all day long: how to make lines and structures more beautiful, and then he practiced hard and hard over time, and after countless competitions, he went from no place, to third prize, second prize, and finally to the championship. champion.

From an ignorant young boy to the first place in a calligraphy competition, Yang Fan relied on his unremitting efforts to achieve step-by-step progress. He finally succeeded in realizing his dream of pursuing calligraphy and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the further study and creation of calligraphy.

Many people envy his beautiful turn. He turned his favorite thing in life into a job. However, there are many unknown stories hidden behind all the seemingly perfect appearances. At the most serious time, his hand was not aligned, and no matter how he wrote, he couldn't write correctly. His mood reached a low point, and he even felt like vomiting when he saw the brush. It was obvious that he was just picking up a pen and was familiar with it, but how could it end up being empty and void? - "Calligraphy is actually a burst of spirit from the heart, and words with flesh and blood and soul are the highest state." Yang Fan finally understood, For him, calligraphy is no longer a mere expression of technique. A good work is the operation of the calligrapher's aura from the inside out. When people see his words, they can feel a deeper spiritual essence through the tip of the pen. Ming, that is the value of a great calligrapher's existence. Therefore, while Yang Fan refined his skills, he devoted himself to learning knowledge in various fields, including Chinese literature, philosophy, aesthetics, etc., which were all used to strengthen his practice of calligraphy skills. In this process, Yang Fan also realized a truth: Don't place too much emphasis on goals and results, and you should let go of everything and experience the process.

“Interest can only open the door to a field for you, but it cannot support the pace of progress. To be enterprising and successful, professional skills are hard work, and a good attitude is a mediator. Constant self-adjustment and improvement It is a guide to action for the sustainable expansion of dreams.” Yang Fan feels comfortable and satisfied with the present. In my opinion, this is the most enviable thing.

Yang Fan said that it was fate that made him come into contact with Zhenghe Island. He has always been enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings. At a public welfare event, he met Zhang Police, the secretary-general of Zhenghe Island in Guizhou. The two hit it off and became good brothers. After getting to know Zhenghe Island, Yang Fan decisively applied to land on the island. On the way with a group of people with a future, he deeply felt the beautiful character of the entrepreneurial islanders and knew clearly in his heart that he had met the best people. Good platform.

Let’s talk about why Yang Fan is interested in charity. In 1993, Yang Fan participated in the large-scale public welfare event "Chu Tian Han Mo Qing" for the first time and still has an unforgettable experience. The paintings and calligraphy he donated were photographed and all the money was used to help the disabled. For the first time, he felt that he could help others. At the same time, he gained a new understanding - it turns out that his own value still has this way of expression. That year, he was awarded the title of "Caring Calligrapher and Painter" by the organizing committee of the "Chu Tian Han Mo Qing" charity exhibition of calligraphy and painting works in Wuhan, China. Since then, his continuous love has helped various types of disadvantaged people, and he has also won the title of "Love Calligrapher and Painter". many titles. Kind thoughts made him realize the power of helping. While helping others, spiritual harvest is also the best gift that others can give you. Conscience made him firmly believe that there are more possibilities in the value of life. Things done with conscience are Following the way of heaven is the only way to happiness in life.

Of course, conscience is also the common understanding between Yang Fan and fellow entrepreneurs.

For entrepreneurs in Yang Fan’s eyes, in terms of management, the core value of the enterprise should reflect “conscience” as protection and “conscience” as thought. Entrepreneurs practicing conscience should start with themselves and cultivate themselves. Start by providing high-quality products. Only in this way can enterprises continue to grow in a healthier way. He also emphasized the "virtue" of entrepreneurs - virtues and conduct consistently, so that they should be virtuous every day, be virtuous in everything, be virtuous at all times, and be virtuous everywhere. In the spirit of patriotism, innovation, tolerance and virtuousness, Be upright, study diligently, be strict with yourself, and strive for self-improvement. He calls this the best state of an entrepreneur in his mind. Around him, there are too many righteous Wajima entrepreneurs. “For example, Ye Senlin, chairman of our Zhenghe Island Guizhou Neighborhood Organization and founding president of Guizhou Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and Hu Zhengsen, executive vice chairman of Zhenghe Island Guizhou Neighborhood Organization and chairman of Guizhou Haiyu Construction Group, are all more than a hundred of our Zhenghe Guizhou Island Neighborhood Organizations. "Promise China to convey this kind of 'business beauty' that emphasizes morality." Yang Fan said that it would take three days and three nights to list the "great beauty" of these entrepreneurs from Zhenghe Island, not only the above-mentioned island relatives, but also Many entrepreneurs are working tirelessly for the country, society and enterprises. And he has no doubts about their future.

Culture is the soul of social development. A good artistic ecology needs to be gradually completed with the efforts of the entire society. Art is not only a matter for artists, but also a cause for the entire society. It is the result of the joint efforts of everyone.

As an artist among entrepreneurs, Yang Fan frankly said that what he gained on Zhenghe Island was the sublimation of his own concepts and structure. Art originates from life, and the circle of life also affects the life of art. When the crossover between art and business becomes popular, companies or entrepreneurs can not only improve their self-cultivation through artwork, but it will also be more beneficial to the construction of their corporate culture and the improvement of their competitiveness. When artists and entrepreneurs know how to appreciate each other and become each other's confidants, art will naturally fill life, and the core competitiveness of an enterprise is both wisdom and strength.

"You must meet the best people in life. Before you meet them, work hard to improve yourself. When you are ready, the best people will naturally appear." Yang Fan said emotionally explain.

As for the current situation of Guizhou’s art scene, Yang Fan concluded that in the era of planned economy, the situation in Guizhou was roughly the same as that of other provinces and cities across the country. The creation and exhibition of art works still served the political movements at that time, and with the After the reform and opening up, Guizhou also quickly entered the market economy. In the 1980s and 1990s, while emphasizing regionality, nationality and modernity, the Guizhou art circle also experienced the collision, shock, baptism, ebb and flow of various Western modern art trends. Between the old and new centuries, the creation of contemporary art in Guizhou became active again. These are welcome circumstances. However, because Guizhou is located on the edge of China's politics, economy, and culture, it will be impossible to establish an effective mechanism conducive to the growth and development of contemporary art for a long period of time. Therefore, regarding the overall current situation of contemporary art in Guizhou, Yang Fan Not feeling optimistic. Of course, judging from the tortuous development of Chinese contemporary art over the past twenty years, it has also failed to break the pattern of center and periphery. Today, when contemporary art is highly commercialized, artists must work hard to create their own personal patterns, trademarks and brands, and produce contemporary art with "Chineseness" in accordance with Western game rules. If the god of luck comes, it is possible for Fang to suddenly emerge in the contemporary art camp and become an upstart and rich man in art.

As an artist who came out of Guizhou, Yang Fan has never forgotten the deep nostalgia in his heart. As Li Taibai said, "Hibiscus comes out of clear water, and the carvings are naturally removed." The scenery of Guizhou is familiar to people all over the world. It is an exquisite work of nature’s miraculous power, which is astonishing. In Yang Fan's eyes, Guizhou is like a lush lotus leaf embedded in the southwest of the motherland. It is a fertile land under development. When the new era of information technology represented by big data and cloud computing arrives, the maverick Guizhou’s artistic spring advantages will also continue to emerge.

"If there are three places with the best development in the country, Guizhou must be the last. If you missed the investment opportunities in Guangdong and Zhejiang thirty years ago, you must not miss Guizhou today." Founder of Alibaba Group Ma Yun has reminded the world like this more than once, but in Yang Fan's opinion, this is by no means an assertion. When Guizhou is facing the world with a new attitude and situation, people have ushered in a new era that cannot be underestimated!
