This knowledgeable teacher has been in contact with Naxi Dongba culture since he was 13 years old, and was deeply impressed by these ancient, vivid, and vivid words. During his university days in Beijing, he organized dissemination and holding together with the country in Lijiang in Beijing. This ancient Naxi script. So far, Naxi hieroglyphs have been passed down for 27 years.
He introduced the Naxi culture to visitors at the Naxi Pictograph Painting Experience Hall, took visitors into the artistic conception of Naxi Dongba calligraphy and painting, and at the same time was exploring a better way to inherit.
He said: "I have suffered many difficulties along the way, but every time I think that I am struggling to pass on the national culture, the difficulties disappear suddenly. If you have no money, you will live a little poorer. If your strength is weak, you will try to invite more Naxi. Children join in..."
The Naxi people are a nation with an ancient civilization. More than a thousand years ago, the Naxi people believed in the polytheistic primitive witch religion "Dongbaism". Dongba culture originated from Dongbaism. Dongba culture includes hieroglyphs, Dongba scripture, Dongba painting, Dongba music, and dance, etc. Dongba script is also the only hieroglyph in the world. Dongba language is exaggerated, bold, simple, general, and vivid, like a string of smooth and flexible notes, conveying the happy, open, and tolerant disposition of the Naxi people.
Dongba painting is the most particular Naxi art legacy. It is a kind of painting formed by the images of various Buddhas, gods, figures, animals, plants, monsters, and ghosts in Naxi Dongba during the ceremony, and worshiping and offering sacrifices to them. Dongba paintings show the gods, ghosts, and various ideal worlds believed by the ancient Naxi people, and it also reflects the various secular lives of the ancient Naxi society. The image of his paintings has a strong original meaning, mainly line expression, and does not pay attention to the external proportions of things, but simple and vivid, strange and strange, wild and interesting, and the colors are mostly original colors, bright and eye-catching. Many pictures are also painted, retaining the strong characteristics of hieroglyphic writing, and are "living fossils" for the study of human primitive painting art.
If you pass this long alley of oil-paper umbrella, go in to see this teacher and feel the charm of this Naxi hieroglyph. Following the teacher, starting from the evolution of hieroglyphs, and then from stories to images, pictographs, ancient characters, radicals, and making characters, you can experience Naxi's writing deeply.
