Features: Yaming's experience as a poor child, warrior, and painter has given him broad knowledge, deep thoughts, and diverse abilities. They are a generation that transitioned from the old to the new with the pulse of the times. This transition, at the time, may have been necessary, forced, and gradually became a natural reality. What is valuable about Yaming is that he truly and genuinely made this transition, without any (half-baked) suspicion. With this unique experience, Yaming possesses distinct characteristics in his art. Unconventional, it is the most prominent feature of his artistic creation, not only reflected in his works but also in his entire academic journey. The second major characteristic of Yaming's art is its freedom. He has a pair of keen eyes capable of discovering beauty, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, and uncovering the core in complexity. He is also skilled at discovering the links between this beauty and traditional rules. Additionally, he has a talent for capturing what he sees and thinks, ensuring that it can be brought to life on paper. These abilities stem from a foundation of emotion. With this foundation, he can fully communicate with mountains, rivers, and landscapes, achieving a state of unity between himself and nature. He can also engage deeply with the past and tradition, using ancient wisdom to inspire the present. The Rongbaozhai Painting Spectrum preserves the traditional Chinese painting heritage of generations while also catering to the schools of different eras. It is created by modern masters with a touch of life, surpassing the level of old painting compendiums, making it an excellent book for art enthusiasts. This book features Yaming's landscape paintings.
