Chapter 7 Transcript of Huang Yongyu's speech at Yuelu Academy 1

River embankment finishing [Scene: The front hall of the lecture hall of Yuelu Academy.An old-style piano bench three meters long.A framed volume of lecture notes lay on the piano bench. Huang Yongyu sat facing the audience on a small bamboo chair with a backrest in front of the piano bench—the kind of bamboo chair that is often seen in the countryside. ] ① The original title was "Cultural Walk". Moderator: Mr. Huang Yongyu insisted on us doing this podium. Mr. Huang has a unique speech. [Scene: The host points to the volume of lecture notes on the piano bench. ] Host: Mr. Huang, can you tell us how this long scroll came about? (applause)

Huang Yongyu: Before I came here to speak, I didn't feel any difficulty, because I often attend classes, and it is common to talk about this and that. But then the grand atmosphere made me nervous. (applause) I used to give lectures for four or five hours, and it didn’t matter. I just made an outline. The audience will forgive me for running wild horses. One part of the lecture is very, very long. A part is very short and very short, and the time is up. I think this time, I want to start a draft.This is a great draft.I lived in Shanghai for five or six days, and wrote this manuscript from morning till night.

On the night when the writing was almost finished, I called my friends. I said that I came to Shanghai, and my friends said, "That's great, how many days do you stay?" I said, "I'm leaving tomorrow." "Then why are you here!" I said, "I'm here to draft." Unexpectedly, there were so many manuscripts, so a friend simply said, "Let me travel for you, so that you don't have to read one by one." There are eleven manuscript sheets in total, and I brought this (travelling) manuscript with me. (applause) Moderator: Let Huang Lao give the first part of his speech—about painting.A warm welcome everyone! (applause)

[Scene: Huang Yongyu giving a lecture. ] My friends, I am not a specialist in the study of learning.Experts are characterized by systematic knowledge, depth and breadth.Who doesn't want to be a specialist? Of course I want to do it too, but it's a pity that I only wanted to paint and didn't do my homework well. People don’t believe it when I say it. I was in junior high school for three years, and I got five grades in two years. (Applause, roar) The only gain is that there are many classmates, (coaxing) one or two hundred classmates. (laugh) Why do you want to talk about this matter?The place where I studied was Jimei School in Xiamen, Fujian. It is a very famous, famous and perfect school.

The school has a library, which is six stories high and has a large collection of books.I went to Jimei School to study in the first grade of junior high school. I felt that the teacher was very childish and would play hide-and-seek while holding hands. I just said, when we reached the sixth grade in primary school in Fenghuang County, Hunan, we still played hide-and-seek, climbed mountains, and played wild games. (applause) The Four Books and Five Classics are basically resolved.At that time, the Governor of Hunan Province was called He Jian, and he advocated reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

My father is a teacher of Xinxue and opposes reading the Four Books and Five Classics, but there is no way.I was also forced to read the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as "Guwen Guanzhi". I have to recite, and if I recite the wrong spanking and handboard, I feel very oppressed. But after I left Phoenix, especially after I grew up, in my twenties and thirties, I realized that my ass was not beaten in vain. I just thought of a question, is it useful for children to read ancient books?Adults say it's useless, and it restricts the mind. Now it seems that it is really useful. Even if you are writing vernacular Chinese, if you have a pair of up and down and pay attention to phonology, the article will be quite interesting.

So, after I arrived in Jimei, I looked down on that school and stayed in the library all day long. In this way, most of the time is spent in the library, always repeating grades.But some teachers looked at it differently, so the authoritative teacher said that there was a problem with the educational policy. In fact, there is no problem, and there is no problem at all for the majority of students.Such a good school, high-level and perfect, is almost the best in the country. Do I have any questions?I have no problem either!I work very hard.Chinese language is good, natural science is fine, art is of course good.

It's just that the subject is replaced by a book in the library. Later, it becomes a habit.Decades have passed, although I have not regarded it as an expert, but I am very proud of reading a lifetime of idle books. The meaning of saying this is just to introduce myself to you. I went to Yuelu Academy, the cultural "Jerusalem" of our Hunan people, not because of my boldness or thick skin, but because of my emotional power. My father took me here several times when I was young, and I felt a kind of reverence for it. In the dream of wandering, I vaguely rely on the halls, courtyards and corridors here to get comfort and encouragement. I belong to Hunan.

Although I did not win glory for Chutu, I believe that Yuelu Academy can take in me, a cultural vagabond. You are magnanimous and have worked tirelessly to come here, listen to me who has been a cultural vagabond for decades, talk about my experience of cultural vagabonds, and put on a long-term battle. Sometimes I joke with my friends that organisms have genetic factors, and history also has historical experience.Is history just experience?Does history have genes? For example, Shanxi people are very talented in business, which is a broad compliment. After the transformation of capitalism after liberation, the family economy Zhang San or Li Si basically disappeared in Shanxi. After nearly 20 to 30 years of reform and opening up, the cleverness has come up again.

Of course, it is not necessarily the descendants of Zhang San and Li Si. Even if they are descendants, they are separated by several floors. Examples of this phenomenon can be found in Shanxi, Guangdong, Shanghai, including our Hunan province. It is not a genetic gene of flesh and blood, but a wonderful historical genetic phenomenon. Of course, what I want to talk about now is not Shanxi Province, which I am not familiar with. What I want to talk about is our own hometown of Hunan. I think there is something special about us in Hunan, Hunanese, and Shanshui. The Torch Memorial Tower at Changsha Railway Station is a natural coincidence, which gives people from other provinces the perception of a chili pepper, a very red chili pepper. (applause)

The social effect is even better than the original torch, and it has exhausted the spirit of our Hunan people. It is said that a Spartan will be hung on a tree and placed on a rock when he is born, so that he can see the world through the wind and rain, When he grows up, he will have to undergo physical exercise and torture in order to cope with the charge. In terms of physical strength and physique, we Hunan people are far inferior to Shandong and Shanxi people, and we are all satisfied with our short stature. (applause) Chairman Mao is an exception. (Applause, laughter) But self-awareness is enough to deal with the daily life and extraordinary conditions outside of ourselves and ourselves. Like the short Napoleon, said to his tall marshal: "Don't think you are tall, I can solve the gap between us at any time." (Applause) We Hunanese often have special and ingenious abilities to resolve objective gaps. (applause) The advantage of the Hunan people over the Spartans is that we can endure hunger and hard work, He has also been tortured and tempered by will, morality, and ideals, and he is not afraid of danger and responds calmly. "Although there are three households in Chu, Chu will die when Qin is destroyed" is a famous saying since ancient times. If you have ambitions and ideals, you will ignore your own pessimism. This is not a question of any family's genetics, so I say that in addition to genetics, there is also a question of historical genes. Chairman Mao taught us: "The experience of history is worth noting." Of course, the experience of history is worth noting, but what about the genes of history?At least there are issues worthy of interest. (applause) Over the past hundred years, there have been so many earth-shattering figures in Hunan, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Tan Sitong, Huang Xing, Xiong Xiling, Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Hu Yaobang, and Zhu De were also from Hunan. These old people have all passed away, so some people say that Hunan people are exhausted, it's over, Feng Shui has changed, Unexpectedly, a few years later, another capable Zhu Rongji would emerge. ﹝applause) Do you want it? !I'm just joking, the words of the old man are unscrupulous, and the so-called historical genes are also made up.please forgive. My profession is painting.In fact, I have never formally studied painting, worked as a teacher, and never followed a teacher. Because of this, I'm somewhat unorthodox.Very free and unconstrained.For painting, it is better to learn something orthodox. The mastery of some basic skills is not as hard and time-consuming as our opposition party's mastery, so let's not talk about these. Here I will pick out a few questions that I would like to talk about. These questions are often asked by friends, and friends who are not familiar with painting will also be interested. What I want to declare is that I am not an esthetician, nor an art historian, but a craftsman, and what I am talking about is only the immature experience of a craftsman.

Transcript of Huang Yongyu's speech at Yuelu Academy River embankment finishing Science is not the same as art The first point I want to make is that science is not the same as art. The law of science is the law of progress, and art is becoming more and more prosperous and richer, and art does not need to talk about progress. In the past, pine lights, tea oil lamps, tung oil lamps and candles were lit at night. Qu Yuan's resignation said: "Blue plasters and bright candles, and bright lights are better." Of course, he did not refer to electric lights. In the past, walking, riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair, but now ships, cars, and airplanes are the grace of science. Art does not have such a progressive method, it has to be done by people, and it has to be completed hastily in the short time and space of a hundred years of life. If you change someone, you have to start all over again. Science obviously has experience and achievements that can be inherited, accumulate and rise on the ladder of predecessors, and feel the reason for progress. Art is like a Russian proverb: "It doesn't matter how tall your grandpa is, you have to grow up on your own." Yangshao painted pottery 6,000 years ago left us with so many superb plastic art works - clay pots, Who dares to boldly say that it can surpass it and make progress than it! (applause) At that time, the ancestors of Yangshao lived a simple life, singing and dancing, so naturally they could only be in primitive forms like painted pottery. There is no video, nothing can be recorded, so it has a way to make 6000 years later, The astonishing original art depth of our post-graduates is the artistic crystallization of the superb craftsmanship of our ancestors. Art creation is the result of a lifetime of adventure. The times are progressing, and the evolution of scientific civilization has prompted people to create richer works and enjoy richer artistic achievements. As a result, people are more convinced of the special hand-brain value that distinguishes art from science. The children of Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, and Li Keran certainly have the right to inherit their father's career, but people pay more attention to the creative spirit of Qi, Xu, and Li themselves. Picasso's oldest child, who has nothing to do, enjoys the lingering sound, but drives the car for the old man, Some of the rest of the children are in jewelry, and some are in the perfume business. It is very unlikely that the hard work of the older generation will be confronted with the present and head-to-head like the scientific achievements listed. It is a more spiritual thing, not to mention a craft that has to be closely followed. When buying a computer, people don't care if it is an original work handled by Gates himself. If you buy a work of art and encounter a fake, you will be furious.
