Dear leaders, distinguished guests,

My name is Yan Zhongquan, and I am an employee of Jiaxiang Stone Carving Factory of Central Academy of Fine Arts. Today, I am very honored to introduce our Jiaxiang and our pride-Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue.

Jiaxiang County, located in the west of Jining City, Shandong Province, has a long history and outstanding people. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Aigong went hunting in the west and got a unicorn. This place is named "Jiaxiang" because it means beauty and auspiciousness. Jiaxiang is the hometown of Ceng Zi, one of the "four great saints" in ancient China. The stone carving of Wushi Tomb, a national first-class cultural relic protection unit to which Jiaxiang belongs, is a classic representative of ancient stone carving art in China, and is praised by historians as "the historical encyclopedia of Han Dynasty". Jiaxiang's stone carving art is famous at home and abroad. Jiaxiang's stone carving industry has developed rapidly in recent years and achieved remarkable results. It was named "the hometown of stone carving in China" by the Ministry of Agriculture. Since the reform and opening up, Jiaxiang's economy and various social undertakings have developed rapidly. Jiaxiang is becoming a hot spot for investment and entrepreneurship. In order to improve Jiaxiang's reputation and popularity, integrate lapis lazuli resources and build a brand of stone carving, the county party committee and government have held a stone carving art festival with a deep public opinion base from September 24th to 26th every year since 2004.

It is in this context that Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue came into being.

In order to keep up with the development of the times, improve the quality of Jiaxiang's urban construction and increase the charm of the city, the Jiaxiang County Party Committee and the county government specially invited famous domestic experts to transform the existing "Chengxiang Avenue" in Jiaxiang County, and creatively planned the "Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue" on this basis. At the same time, according to the characteristics of Chengxiang Avenue and Jiaxiang's resources, the organization invited famous stone carving artists at home and abroad. Jiaxiang Stone Carving Factory of Central Academy of Fine Arts (053768 14208) hired well-known sculpture experts at home and abroad, and gradually created and carved a number of fine stone carvings, which were arranged in the center and both sides of Chengxiang Avenue, forming the landscape of "International Stone Carving Art Avenue" and making it a beautiful landscape in Jiaxiang County. Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue will make full use of China? Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Festival is a key platform to display and promote Jiaxiang's image. Since the first art festival in 2004, it has attracted famous sculpture artists and urban planning experts at home and abroad to participate in the construction. It is planned to gradually build a high-grade, high-grade and high-quality stone carving art avenue after three or four art festivals.

In 2004, Jiaxiang Stone Carving Art Festival specially invited some well-known sculptors at home and abroad to create two series of stone carvings according to different themes for a section of the east end of Chengxiang Avenue, and then the Jiaxiang Stone Carving Factory of the Central Academy of Fine Arts carved and recreated them. These two series of works are based on the characteristics of Jiaxiang's existing resources and created according to Jiaxiang's future development needs. The themes are Han Soul Series and Happy Auspicious Series. Han Feng's Han Soul Series includes five works: Wen Jing gave birth to Tu Ping, Ma Xu Party, Little Girl Learning to Dance, Ceng Zi's Filial Piety, and The Legend of Jin Lu. The series of happiness and auspiciousness includes longevity, good fortune, Spring Festival couplets, the pride of Yangyang and the legend of Ye Jin.

First of all, I will introduce the archway of Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue to all the guests.

Comment on the memorial archway of international stone carving art avenue

This archway is15.2m high, 25.4m wide and spans? /kloc-The 0/00-meter-wide road has three doorways, of which the middle doorway is 8.2 meters wide and the left and right doorways are 8.2 meters wide. According to relevant experts' research, this archway is the largest archway in China at present. In order to welcome the first Jiaxiang Stone Carving Art Festival, Jiaxiang Stone Carving Factory of Central Academy of Fine Arts completed this archway in only two months.

Look, the top of this archway is engraved with the words "the hometown of stone carving in China". This title was awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture, and Jiaxiang is one of the four stone carving towns in China. The name of Art Avenue is engraved below-China Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue.

Look at the four pillars. There are four Kirin carefully carved by stone carvers. Kirin is a symbol of good luck and a mascot of Jiaxiang. Look at their energetic forms, as if to show you our Jiaxiang propaganda slogan-enter Jiaxiang, be happy and auspicious.

Next, I will introduce the first work of art of Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue-Jumping Horse to all the guests.

A Review of Ma Xu's Party Stone Carvings

The stone carving art of Ma Xu Party was created by some teachers and students of Sculpture Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts.

This work cleverly puts Huo on the tomb of the sick horse; Horse stepping on Yan Feima (that is, the horse unearthed in Wuwei, Gansu Province, which is now a tourist symbol of China); Horses in Han figurines; Xiu Xiang Liu Bang Mount; Combined with a feldspar, it becomes a perfect stone carving.

This stone carving is advanced in conception and exquisite in craftsmanship. The four horses are lively, imposing and lifelike. The author regards the heads of four horses as the main part of his work, which not only means "only taking horses as the leader", but also implies that our Jiaxiang economy will develop as fast as running horses. In addition, it also symbolizes the determination of Jiaxiang county government to lead the people of the county to a well-off society, and its sincere commitment to many people who come to Jiaxiang for business, investment and settlement.

Well, we invite all the guests to enjoy the second work of Jiaxiang International Stone Carving Art Avenue-Wenjing Shengping Map.

Comments on Wen Jingsheng and Tu Ping

Ok, now I want to introduce the third work of Art Avenue, Wen Jing Saint Tu Ping.

Wen Jing Sheng Tu Ping was created collectively by some sculptors of China Academy of Fine Arts. ..

The main body of the work consists of a stone pillar, surrounded by the rising landscape of Han paintings. Wenjing refers to the reign years of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, which is the most prosperous period of Han Dynasty. Because of the policy of stabilizing the country and developing the economy put forward by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, the economy of Han Dynasty was prosperous, and this period was also a famous period of "the rule of cultural scenery" praised by later generations.

Please pay attention to different aspects of work. We can see that the main face of the work is to "walk out" of a Han Dynasty figure in a dynamic form to outline the theme of the work. The confident and heroic figure, together with the prosperous scene of the "Wenjing period in the Han Dynasty" depicted in the other three reliefs, vividly shows the current scene of China's national prosperity and people's security by symbolic means, and at the same time indicates that 780,000 Jiaxiang people are grasping the great opportunity endowed by history and building a beautiful home with firm confidence in this excellent situation.

Ok, next, please invite the leaders and guests to enjoy the stone carving work-"suona welcomes the new".

Comments on the Stone Carvings of Suona to Welcome the New Year

"suona welcomes the new" was created by some teachers and students in the sculpture department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.

We can see that in this work, a young man and a young woman are intoxicated with the suona sound of playing and singing. China's national music has a long history, with a wide variety, rich content and different regional styles. Suona is one of the most representative traditional national musical instruments in China. It is a wind instrument with a loud voice and strong expressive force: it is good at expressing both rough and heroic masculinity and delicate and euphemistic femininity. Jiaxiang is the "hometown of suona in China" named by the Ministry of Culture.

Look, the characters in the work are leaning their heads slightly, closing their eyes slightly, intoxicated by the wonderful music. This work, in the form of sculpture and in the form of "close-up", makes China folk artists humorous, vivid and incisive. This work implies that Jiaxiang is "the hometown of suona in China", and it also implies that Jiaxiang will greet the new tomorrow with a spirit of courage. At the same time, the people of Jiaxiang will welcome tourists from all directions to Jiaxiang in a special form of suona welcoming the new.

Okay, next. Please go and enjoy Little Girls Learn to Dance.

A review of stone carvings of little girls learning to dance

Leaders, distinguished guests, the stone carving we are seeing now-a little girl learning to dance.

This work was created collectively by some teachers and students of Guangxi Art College.

China has a profound culture and a long history. Throughout the ages, it has merged into a vast stream. 2 1 century is not only a century of cultural exchange between the East and the West, but also a century from "Western culture as the mainstream" to "Oriental culture as the mainstream". Only in this way can we realize the "reconciliation between man and nature and man himself" advocated by Engels, thus resolving various crises and creating a peaceful, harmonious and happy ideal human society. Therefore, the important task of carrying forward Chinese excellent traditional culture has historically fallen on the shoulders of contemporary Chinese sons and daughters. Carrying forward Chinese excellent traditional culture is the historical mission of all Chinese in the world. It is in this sense that the author of Guangxi Art College created this stone carving.

Look, a modern little girl is standing between two song and dance figurines of the Han Dynasty to learn the dance of the Han Dynasty. Her works not only show the joy, enterprising spirit and artistic pursuit of China children in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century, but also show the significance of learning from the modern to the traditional. At the same time, it also implies that Jiaxiang's stone carving art has gradually grown up on the basis of inheriting and carrying forward the traditional art. I have already introduced the stone carving of Wu Tomb Group, a national first-class cultural relics protection unit to which Jiaxiang belongs. It is a classic representative of China's ancient stone carving art and is praised as "the encyclopedia of Han Dynasty history" by historians. Jiaxiang's present stone carving industry has gradually developed and expanded by inheriting and carrying forward this art.

Ok, next, let's enjoy the stone carving-Ceng Zi's Filial Piety.

Comments on Ceng Zi's Stone Carvings of Filial Piety

Leaders and guests, this work is Ceng Zi's filial piety. This work was created by some sculptors in the Sculpture Department of Xi Academy of Fine Arts. Ceng Zi, surnamed Zeng, was born in Nanwucheng (now Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province) at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. Born in a declining aristocratic family, teenagers took part in agricultural labor. After studying with Confucius, I studied hard and got a biography of Confucius. He actively promoted and spread Confucianism, and made great achievements in self-cultivation and practice. As the main inheritor and disseminator of Confucius' theory, he played an important role in connecting the preceding with the following in Confucian culture, and was praised by later generations as the four ancient sages of China. The core of Confucian ideology and culture is political ethics, but Confucius, Zeng, Meng and Xun have their own emphases. Confucius showed benevolence, Ceng Zi showed filial piety, Mencius showed benevolence and righteousness, and Xunzi showed long ceremony. Zeng Shen regarded filial piety as the foundation and sum of all morals, and regarded filial piety as the commander-in-chief of a period of ethics. It is believed that filial piety is not only the principle of personal behavior and family management, but also the basic program of governing the country and calming the world, and it is the basic principle that is justified and eternal. In Zeng Shen's thoughts and actions, filial piety occupies the most prominent position. It is well-deserved that Zeng Shen was included in the twenty-four filial piety by later generations. Ceng Zi's "The Classic of Filial Piety" is a stone carving work, which advocates the most prominent aspect of filial piety according to Zeng Shen's words and deeds-meticulous care for parents, and the classic plot of beating the back with young Ceng Zi as the mother, vividly reappearing Ceng Zi's spirit and thought. On the one hand, the work interprets Ceng Zi's filial piety, implying that Jiaxiang is the hometown of Ceng Zi, one of the four ancient sages in China, and the birthplace of China's filial piety culture; On the other hand, it also implies that filial piety culture exists in the behavior of China people. At the moment when the CPC Central Committee advocates "ruling the country by virtue", the promotion and popularization of filial piety culture has effectively promoted the improvement of China people's ideological and moral awareness, and promoted social stability and economic development.

Comments on Jin Lu's Legendary Stone Carvings

Now, I will introduce the stone carving works-the legend of Jin Lu to all the guests.

This work was created by some graduate students of Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts.

In the work, two ancient Lu brocade weavers are dressing up a modern fashion model with Lu brocade. Jin Lu represents the highest textile technology in the textile field. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, Qilu was already the center of domestic brocade. "Wan Qi Lu Mao" is known as "wearing clothes to wear the world". During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, with the large-scale planting of cotton in the Yellow River valley, the people in southwestern Shandong integrated the traditional weaving and embroidery techniques of hemp into the cotton spinning process, forming a unique brocade in southwestern Shandong. After the improvement of knitting tools and the development of knitting technology in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jin Lu's art has reached a perfect state. Jin Lu is a tribute of Qing Dynasty, among which Jin Lu of Jiaxiang is the most famous. Jin Lu's knitting process has to go through 72 processes, large and small, and more than 1990 gorgeous patterns can be produced.

Through the sharp contrast between ancient times and modern times and the effective grafting between ancient times and modern times, this work highlights the long history and technological beauty of Lu Jin. At the same time, it clearly shows that Jiaxiang is the hometown of Lu Jin in China, and the deeper implication is that only by carving works can we effectively combine China traditional culture with modern civilization and truly carry forward the excellent Chinese culture.

Leaders and guests, next, we will enjoy Longevity.

Comment on the Stone Carvings of "Shouxing"

Leaders, distinguished guests, the stone carving in front of us is called "Longevity Star".

This work was created by some sculptors of Xi Academy of Fine Arts.

Respect for the elderly, respect for the elderly and long life are the themes of great benevolence in China traditional culture. The "magnetic field" of China's "filial piety culture" has great attraction, and its ethical norms are widely recognized by China people as noble moral laws. The old man carries the history, paves the way for our progress, inspires the younger generation with his command and inspires us with his career achievements. The happiness and longevity of the elderly is an important symbol of peace and harmony between the country and society. Most Chinese around the world attach importance to their parents' affection and love the land where they and their ancestors live and work, which is also one of the reasons for the strong cohesion of the Chinese nation. Carrying forward many good ideas, norms, styles and warmth in the "longevity culture" can provide reference for us to better solve the problems faced by an aging society. With the development of China's modernization and the continuous accumulation of social wealth, we have more conditions for the elderly to get more warmth, health and happiness. It is based on this consideration that the author creatively designed this stone carving of "Shouxing".

Look, everyone, what is presented to us is that the old birthday girl is receiving a birthday peach from a modern boy with her hands. Among them, the old birthday star is smiling, the little boy is innocent and lovely, and there is a sika deer lying next to him. The structure of this sculpture is lively and festive. It not only symbolizes the inheritance of traditional culture in China, the connection between traditional culture and modern culture, but also expresses Jiaxiang people's blessing to the elderly. "Longevity culture" will brew more wine that will make the elderly happy. To this end, we must keep working hard!

Ok, let's enjoy the stone carving work-"Yang Yang is proud".

Comment on Yang Yi's Stone Carvings

Leaders, distinguished guests, what we are going to enjoy now is a stone carving art work-"The Sheep are Full".

Yang Yi was created by some teachers and students in the Sculpture Department of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts.

We can see that the whole structure of the work is concentrated on a huge stone column, which is assembled by the sculpture artist through the high or shallow relief form of the sheep taken from the square statue of Siyang and Jiaxiang small-tailed Han sheep, and the relief gradually becomes a cloud.

Siyang Fangzun is a kind of wine vessel in the late Shang Dynasty, which is the largest existing wine vessel in China, with a height of 58.3 cm and a weight of 34.5 kg. In ancient times, sheep meant auspiciousness, and the works took "sheep" as the main expression carrier. On the one hand, through the homophonic effect of the word "sheep" and the word "foreign" in the ocean, the meaning of "triumph" and "jubilation and auspiciousness" is expressed. This work not only reflects

Ok, let's enjoy the auspicious stone carvings next.

Comments on auspicious stone carvings

Leaders, distinguished guests, the name of the stone carving art presented to you now is "good luck".

This work was created by some teachers and students of the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Zodiac, a strange phenomenon in human society, can be said to be one of the life symbols that accompany people all their lives. Zodiac culture is widely involved in various fields of China culture, and it is also an important part of China folk customs. The cultural significance of the zodiac also exists in folk customs. What I am most familiar with is the combination with "Five Blessingg" culture. In human history, people and animals have a special relationship. Since the primitive society, our ancestors thought that they were related to animals, so the worship of animals was better than the worship of people themselves. From ancient times to the present, the figures in the Zodiac and Fu culture series stand out and become a bright star in the history of traditional art in China, which also reflects the enthusiasm, full creative spirit and yearning for a better life of folk artists in previous dynasties.

The stone carving "Fu Bao" revolves around this key point, starting from the culture of the zodiac and the pursuit of a better life, and comprehensively sets off the connotation of the zodiac and the blessing culture of China. Please have a look at the Chinese zodiac in the stone carvings. They are happily placing a huge "blessing". This work not only symbolizes the arrival of good luck in Jiaxiang, but also expresses the good wishes of Jiaxiang people to all the guests who come to Jiaxiang.

Leaders, distinguished guests, the name of this stone carving in front of us is Sticking Spring Festival couplets.

Review of Spring Festival couplets

Ok, next, I'll introduce the stone carvings with Spring Festival couplets to the leaders and guests.

This stone carving was created by some sculptors of Sichuan Sculpture Academy.

Spring Festival couplets are also called "appropriate", "spring stickers", "couplets" and "couplets". They use neat, dual, concise and exquisite words to describe the background of the times and express good wishes, which is a unique writing form in China. Every Spring Festival, no matter in urban or rural areas, every household should choose a pair of bright red Spring Festival couplets and stick them on the door to add festive atmosphere to the festival. This kind of stone carving art skillfully compares Jiaxiang Art Festival, a festival belonging to Jiaxiang people, with the Spring Festival, which is admired by Chinese all over the world. It not only expresses the festive mood of Jiaxiang people, but also metaphors the rapid economic development and rich and self-sufficient life of Jiaxiang people.

Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the form of the work: A couple is building a ladder for a child wearing a red Chinese corset, and the child is putting up a pair of Spring Festival couplets with the words "Happy life and good luck forever", which shows a humorous and lovely life scene, just showing the harmonious and happy life scene of a modern family of three in China. In addition, while suggesting that Jiaxiang is a beautiful and auspicious place, the work also conveys another meaning-Jiaxiang people are welcoming guests from all over the world to Jiaxiang in the form of posting Spring Festival couplets, investing, conducting business activities, traveling and settling in Jiaxiang.

Jiaxiang is the holy land of Confucius and Mencius; This is the hometown of etiquette; This is the country of filial piety; This is an ancient and magical land, and Kirin has endowed her with beautiful and auspicious aura; This is a land with profound cultural heritage. Because of the birth of Ceng Zi, he left a simple folk custom of honesty and benevolence; There are always blessings here, and it is auspicious to be prepared. (According to Zuo Zhuan, in 14, Lu Aigong hunted here and got a unicorn, which means good luck, so it was named Jiaxiang locally. ) The earliest existing stone lion in China is located in Jiaxiang Warrior Temple. Wu's tomb stone carvings are the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units announced by the State Council. The vivid pictures of the ten emperors in the temple, the land and water strategy map, the image of Fuxi Nuwa taken from the encyclopedia of China, the statue of Dayu taken from the United Nations Water Conservancy Museum, and the ancient history textbook "Jing Ke Stabbed the King of Qin" in colleges and universities are all from. 1.5km long China International Stone Carving Art Avenue was jointly built by sculpture experts and folk experts from famous universities in China, and we sculpted and recreated it, which means that unicorns are a complete collection in the world. In addition, the white marble in front of the People's Construction Bank of China; We carefully carved the stone carvings in the lobby of the Bank of China. Qiyou, our national bank has money every day!
