Yang Fan said that "conscience" is his life value.

The word "conscience" originated from the sage Mencius and has a history of more than 2,000 years. 500 years ago, Mr. Wang Yangming, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty, combined the "knowledge of things" in universities with Mencius' "conscience" and put forward the three-character mantra of "to conscience" as the core method for China people to cultivate their self-cultivation and achieve their careers. Yang Fan believes that conscience is the innate heart of right and wrong, and conscience can distinguish good from evil; "To conscience" means constantly following the call of conscience to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, that is, "doing things according to conscience". Based on the understanding and persistence of these two words, Yang Fan splashed ink with "conscience" in his career and contributed himself with "conscience" in society. It is for this reason that he also saw the "conscience" of Zhenghe Island people, felt the "beauty of business circle" of entrepreneurs, and forged a valuable "family relationship" with each other.

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

Speaking of our calligrapher Yang Fan, he is not a professional calligrapher. Because there was no calligraphy major in the university, Yang Fan had to switch to oil painting, but he couldn't let go of his brush. Perhaps because of his talent, Yang Fan has a unique passion for calligraphy since he was a child. With his own efforts, he has achieved a lot in calligraphy. Before the popularization of computers in the 1980s, people used to write by hand, and many people wrote very well. Yang Fan is one of them. Out of his love for calligraphy and confidence in himself, Yang Fan was a little tempted when he saw the news of the calligraphy competition. He wants to take part in the competition. On the one hand, he can try his hand in the eyes of professional judges, and on the other hand, he may earn some extra money, killing two birds with one stone. Thus, there was the first calligraphy competition in Yang Fan's life, and this competition may also be a hint from heaven. Somehow, Yang Fan finally established his favorite career direction.

The first competition was held in Shanghai, and thousands of people took part in it. Although Yang Fan's works only won the consolation prize, it made this young man obsessed with calligraphy completely determined to embark on this road. Since then, he has been thinking about one thing all day: how to make lines and structures more beautiful, and then he has been practicing hard for a long time. Then he has been tempered by countless competitions, from no place to the third and second prizes, and finally won the championship. From an ignorant teenager to the first prize in the calligraphy contest, Yang Fan made unremitting efforts and promoted step by step, and finally successfully realized his dream of pursuing calligraphy and devoted himself to further research and creation of calligraphy.

Many people envy his beautiful turn. He turned his favorite thing in life into work. However, behind all the seemingly perfect appearances, there are many unknown stories. At the worst time, my hands are wrong and I can't write correctly. His mood is so low that he even wants to vomit at the sight of a brush. Obviously there is only one pen, which is easy to do. How can you fall into emptiness? -"Calligraphy is actually a spiritual generation from the heart outside. The word with flesh and blood and soul is the highest realm. " Yang Fan finally understood that calligraphy is no longer a simple technical expression. A good work is a calligrapher's aura operation from the inside out. When people see his words, they can perceive a deeper spirit through the pen tip. This is the value of the existence of great calligraphers. Therefore, Yang Fan studied all kinds of knowledge, including China's literature, philosophy and aesthetics. At the same time, improve his skills, which are all his exercises to strengthen the extra-word skills. In this process, Yang Fan also realized a truth: don't pay too much attention to the goal and result, you should put everything down to feel the process.

"Interest can only open the door to a field for you, but it can't support the pace of progress. To be enterprising and successful, professional skills are hard work, a good attitude is an intermediary, and self-adjustment and improvement is a guide to action to make dreams sustainable. " Yang Fan is comfortable and satisfied with the status quo. In my opinion, this is the most enviable thing.

I contacted Yang Fan of Zhenghe Island and said it was fate. Always enthusiastic about public welfare, he met Zhang Jing, secretary-general of Zhenghe Island in Guizhou, in a public welfare activity, and the two hit it off and became good brothers. After learning about Zhenghe Island, Yang Fan decided to apply for landing on the island. On the way with a group of promising people, he deeply realized the good character of entrepreneurs on the island, and he clearly knew in his heart that he had met the best people and the best platform.

Let's talk about why Yang Fan loves public welfare. 1993, Yang Fan, who participated in the large-scale public welfare activity "Chu Tian Mo Han Qing" for the first time, is still unforgettable. All the paintings and calligraphy he donated were taken away, and all the money he took was used to help the disabled. For the first time, he felt the joy of helping others, and at the same time gained a new understanding-this is how his value is reflected. That year, he was awarded the title of "Caring Calligrapher" by the organizing committee of the "Chu Tian Mo Han Qing" calligraphy and painting charity exhibition in Wuhan, China. Since then, his endless love has helped all kinds of vulnerable people and won many titles. Good thoughts make him understand the power of helping others, and at the same time, the harvest of the soul is also the best gift that others give back to you; Conscience makes him firmly believe that the value of life has more possibilities, and what he does with his conscience is to follow heaven, which is the only way to happiness in life.

Of course, conscience is the same cognition between Yang Fan and his entrepreneurs.

For entrepreneurs in Yang Fan's eyes, in management, the core value of an enterprise should reflect "conscience" as the guardian and "conscience" as the thought. Entrepreneurs should start with self-cultivation, provide high-quality products and practice their conscience. Only in this way can enterprises grow healthily and continuously. He also emphasized the entrepreneur's "virtue"-virtue is consistent, thus virtue is eternal, virtue is everywhere, patriotism, innovation, tolerance, virtue, honesty, diligence, self-discipline and self-improvement. He called this the best state of entrepreneurs in his mind. By his side, too many Zhenghe Island entrepreneurs and relatives are personally conveying the positive energy of the beauty of virtue. "For example, Ye Senlin, the chairman of our Zhenghe Island Neighborhood Organization, the founding president of Guizhou Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, Hu Zhengsen, the executive vice chairman of Guizhou Zhenghe Island Neighborhood Organization, and the chairman of Guizhou Yuhai Construction Group are all representatives who are inheriting this' commercial beauty' with more than 0/00 relatives in Guizhou/KLOC." Yang Fan said that it took three days and three nights to list the "great beauty" of these entrepreneurs in Zhenghe Island. Not only the relatives on the island mentioned above, but also many entrepreneurs are making unremitting efforts for the country, society and enterprises. He believes in their future.

Culture is the soul of social development, and a good artistic ecology needs to be gradually completed with the efforts of the whole society. Art is not only an artist's business, but also the cause of the whole society, and it is the result of the concerted efforts of all Qi Xin. As an artist with a circle of entrepreneurs, Yang Fan admits that what he has gained in Zhenghe Island is the sublimation of his self-concept and pattern. Art originates from life, and the circle of life also affects the life of art. When art and business cross the border, enterprises or entrepreneurs can improve their self-cultivation through works of art, which is more conducive to the construction of their corporate culture and the promotion of their competitiveness. When artists and entrepreneurs know how to appreciate each other and become bosom friends, art will naturally be full of life, and the core competitiveness of enterprises is wisdom and strength.

"You must have met the best person in your life. Before meeting, bury yourself in your efforts to improve yourself. When you are ready, the best people will naturally appear. " Yang Fan said emotionally.

Regarding the present situation of Guizhou's art circles, Yang Fan concluded that in the era of planned economy, the situation in Guizhou was roughly the same as that in other provinces and cities in China. The creation and exhibition of artistic works still served the political movement at that time, and with the reform and opening up, Guizhou also quickly entered the market economy. In the 1980s and 1990s, while emphasizing regionality, nationality and modernity, Guizhou art world also experienced the collision, impact, baptism and ebb and flow of various modern artistic trends in the West. At the turn of the new century, Guizhou's contemporary art creation has become active again. These are all gratifying situations. However, because Guizhou is on the edge of China's politics, economy and culture, it is impossible to establish an effective mechanism conducive to the growth and development of contemporary art for a long time. Therefore, Yang Fan is not optimistic about the overall situation of contemporary art in Guizhou. Of course, the tortuous development of contemporary art in China for more than 20 years has failed to break the pattern of center and edge. In today's highly commercialized contemporary art, artists must strive to create their own personal schemata, trademarks and brands, and concoct contemporary art with "China" according to the western rules of the game. If the god of luck comes, it is possible to rise suddenly in the contemporary art camp and become an artistic upstart and rich man.

As an artist who went out from Guizhou, Yang Fan never forgot his deep homesickness. As Li Taibai said, "Clear water gives birth to hibiscus, which naturally needs carving". Guizhou, with its famous scenery, is an exquisite work of nature, which is amazing. In Yang Fan's eyes, Guizhou is like a lush lotus leaf embedded in the southwest of the motherland, which is a fertile ground for development. When the new era of information technology represented by big data and cloud computing comes, Guizhou's unique artistic spring advantages will also appear.

"If there are three places with the best development in the country, Guizhou must be the last one. If you missed the investment opportunities in Guangdong and Zhejiang 30 years ago, you must not miss Guizhou today. " Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group, reminded the world more than once, but in Yang Fan's view, this is by no means an assertion. When Guizhou faces the world with a brand-new attitude, people have ushered in a new era that cannot be underestimated!
