Feeling of Major General Chen Shifu, Curator of Military Museum: Chinese Style of Pursuing Cultural Innovation

The China People's Revolutionary Military Museum, which has a history of 50 years, is located in Chang 'an Avenue and is undergoing large-scale reconstruction and expansion. However, it is hard to imagine that it still receives more than tens of thousands of tourists every day on average, which is unprecedented in the development history of China's cultural and artistic undertakings. This good situation is inseparable from the active actions of the current curator, Major General Chen. On July 20 10, the reconstruction and expansion project of Junbo Exhibition Building was formally established. Considering the huge relocation project of large-scale weapons and equipment and the high cost, military bloggers once had the idea of closing the museum. However, Chen Shifu emphasized the concept of "audience-oriented" and insisted on moving large-scale weapons and equipment to the South Square to continue to receive tourists. Practice has proved that Master Chen's approach is far-sighted, which not only meets the people's demand for advanced military culture, but also continues the audience and service concept formed by Junbo over the years. From a soldier to a general, Master Chen1was born in Anshun, Guizhou in June, 1955, and his academic performance was excellent since childhood. 1973, graduated from high school. Because it was in the middle of the Cultural Revolution and the college entrance examination had not been resumed, I had to return to my hometown, first as a substitute teacher in rural schools and then as a document in the township government. At the end of that year, he joined the army and became a soldier in a base of the Second Artillery Corps. In the army, Chen Shifu's literary talent was quickly revealed. He was good at drawing, making slides, writing slogans, and became a treasure. He was admitted to the university, but the army refused to let him go. Although he didn't go to college, Master Chen was promoted directly from the soldiers and then transferred to the Second Artillery Corps and the headquarters. Master Chen has a wide range of interests and is very studious. When he worked in the headquarters, he was very concerned about national security and national development strategy. In order to study these problems in depth, he read a lot of books and obtained a master's degree in strategic studies from the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences (he had previously obtained junior college and undergraduate diplomas through self-study exams and correspondence). After several years of painstaking research, Chen Shifu has gained a lot, and published monographs such as Dialysis on Several Issues of China's National Security, Introduction to War, Political Choice of Great Powers, and Great Crisis-Interpretation of Major Global Issues. In 2009, Chen Shifu was appointed as the curator of China People's Revolutionary Military Museum, completing the leap from a soldier to a general. In this position, he thinks more about how to develop advanced military culture and advanced socialist culture. He believes that to promote the construction of advanced culture, we must first sing the "main theme". He said that letting a hundred flowers blossom, respecting differences and embracing diversity does not mean letting yourself go and going your own way. At present, what our cultural development lacks is not the so-called "political space", but the motivation and enthusiasm for active exploration and innovation. He particularly emphasized that military literary and art workers should consciously shoulder the glorious mission of promoting the prosperity and development of advanced military culture and advanced socialist culture, revitalize and control various cultural resources and original elements with broad vision and profound wisdom, and strive to create Chinese-style works that reflect the image of the people, lead the fashion of the times, are novel and vivid, and are deeply loved by the public. Under the impetus of Master Chen, Junbo actively promoted major artistic innovation projects on military history from 20 10. It adheres to the national style, style and standards, strictly and standardizes the judging procedure, and has established an art judging committee composed of 2 1 famous artists, and concentrated three generations of famous painters from all over the country and the whole army to participate in the creation. It insists on creating 30-50 masterpieces every year and collecting works by famous calligraphers. This year, under the leadership of Master Chen, Junbo started a new journey of establishing a military cultural and creative industrial park and building a super-large national defense education base. At present, they have signed a land use agreement with Fengtai District, Beijing. This project has five major functions, namely, weapons display, experience interaction, national defense education and military training, military cultural industry development, and commemorative activities. Master Chen likes painting since he was a child. Although he didn't have the opportunity to go to the Academy of Fine Arts for further study, he kept on studying, and paid a lot along the way, worked hard and gained a lot. Since 1980s, Chen Shifu began to study the works of Li Sixun in Tang Dynasty, Fan Kuan, Li Tang and Liu Songnian in Song Dynasty, Zhao Wangyun, Guan Shanyue, Wei Zixi, Huang Qiushi and Song Wenzhi in modern times. At the same time, he attended some seminars and began to create Chinese paintings. Once, Master Chen went to Guan Shanyue to ask the old man for advice. When talking about the difference between "southern school" and "northern school", Guan Lao smiled humorously and said, "I don't care about" southern school "and" northern school ",but only pursue Chinese style. This sentence of Guan Lao has a profound influence on Master Chen. It is the pursuit of Chinese style that makes Chen Shifu's Chinese paintings eclectic, showing the characteristics of emphasizing realism and pursuing imposing beauty. In pursuit of Chinese style, many famous mountains and rivers have left Master Chen's footprints. He always pursues multi-angles and multi-sides, paying special attention to distance and trying to see the whole picture of the mountain. Because of this, the mountain road taken by Master Chen is often much farther and more difficult than others, but he saw the unique scenery. It can really be described as "looking for a strange peak to draft" (painter stone in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties). Studying strategic issues and working experience in the headquarters have given Master Chen a good overall concept, which is embodied in his paintings, that is, pursuing the overall beauty of the integration of true mountains, true water and true things. In terms of techniques, while adhering to the traditional Chinese painting techniques, Master Chen pays attention to absorbing modern Chinese painting and western painting techniques, and strives to find new creative techniques and styles through the combination of various techniques. His paintings are exquisite and have a strong descriptive and realistic nature. Strive for natural and generous modeling, and create a visual schema full of vitality and vigorous breath; In color, bold, rich in ink, full of natural flavor. Chen Shifu's paintings have participated in many national and military art exhibitions, and some of his works have also been exhibited in Paris, new york, Tokyo, Seoul, Hongkong and Macau. The work "Spring Rhyme", 1998, participated in the invitation exhibition of 100 famous painters and painters in China to commemorate the100th anniversary of Premier Zhou's birthday; Plateau under the autumn sun, 1999, participated in the invitation exhibition of famous works of 100 national painters and painters to commemorate the 0/00th anniversary of Zhang Daqian's birthday/kloc-0; In 2000, I participated in the invitation exhibition of Thousand Paintings and Calligraphy of the Diamond Sutra collected by four Buddhist holy places in China and Buddhist circles in Japan and South Korea: Xiajiang Map; in 2000, I participated in the invitation exhibition of works of 100 national famous painters and calligraphers in Tang and Song Dynasties; in 2000, I participated in the invitation exhibition of works of 100 national famous painters and calligraphers commemorating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Xiongguan, 200 1, participated in the exhibition of achievements of senior talents in contemporary Chinese painting and the exhibition of new works by the president of the National Academy of Painting; " Dawn on Mount Tai, participated in the International Art Exhibition of China Famous Painters in 2003. Building a world-class "Red Pavilion" is a military museum built by 1958. It is the only comprehensive military museum in China and the only comprehensive open unit of the whole army. In 2009, when Chen Shifu took over as the curator, Junbo, which had been visiting for free, faced many problems in its development, such as hidden dangers in the main structure, the need for innovation in the exhibition system, a serious shortage of exhibition area, backward management of cultural relics, relatively simple facilities and equipment for the protection of cultural relics, and a serious shortage of rooms and facilities for audience services. In order to solve these problems, revitalize Junbo, and then build it into a world-class "Red Pavilion", Chen Shifu ran around to win the support of all parties; At the same time, mobilize the staff of the whole library to broaden their thinking, do more work, and promote the military blog work in by going up one flight of stairs. "It's a pity that less than the Great Wall to JunBo. "This is Chen Shifu's image expression of the influence goal of the new Junbo. To this end, he led all the librarians to start a series of layouts-the old Chen Zhan system of Junbo is mainly military history. In order to adapt to the development of cultural undertakings and the needs of the audience, Chen Shifu advocated changing to a new Chen Zhan system with military history as the mainstay, supplemented by military science and technology and military art. The exhibition focuses on the revolutionary war exhibition led by the Chinese Production Party, the national defense and army building exhibition of New China, the special exhibition of the People's Army and the weapons exhibition. In addition, there are military exhibitions, military science and technology exhibitions, military art exhibitions and temporary exhibitions in China. When Chen Shifu took over as curator, the former curator didn't sign the handover procedures with him because there were too many cultural relics to sort out at the moment. Master Chen is determined to change this situation. He asked the staff to improve the accounts and establish digital management. At the same time, Chen Shifu actively promoted the general survey of military cultural relics in the whole army, and found out the number and whereabouts of military cultural relics that did not enter the military museum. After his coordination and promotion in many ways, the new method of collecting military cultural relics was implemented in the whole army last year. Marked by the free visit of Junbo in March 2008, the management service of Junbo has changed from management-oriented to service-oriented After Chen Shifu took office, an important task was to turn this concept into the knowledge of military bloggers. He proposed to improve the service level and quality on the basis of the existing conditions, such as providing wheelchairs for the disabled, doing a good job of tour guide, adding sunshade and rain shelter facilities for the queuing audience, and timely treating the audience with sudden diseases. In order to expand and enhance the influence of Junbo, Chen Shifu proposed the establishment of Junbo website from the very beginning. On August 1 day, 2065438, Junbo Internet website was officially launched. At present, the online audience has exceeded the number of Junbo visitors. At present, the Junbo Exhibition Building is being built according to the international first-class museum construction standards, and it is progressing smoothly. After reinforcement, the construction area of Junbo Exhibition Building will be expanded from the current 60,000 square meters to150,200 square meters, and the exhibition area will be increased to nearly 70,000 square meters. Of the total building scale, 33,000 square meters are strengthened by earthquake, and 1 17000 square meters are newly built and rebuilt. For ordinary people, it is generally difficult to make achievements in many fields, such as cultural and cultural undertakings management, painting art, poetry, national security strategy research, etc., but Chen Shifu, who takes "doing everything well" as his motto, has done this. Today, Chen Shifu, a member of China Artists Association, Chinese Writers Association and director of China Party History Research Association, is still pursuing the China style of cultural innovation and leading the staff of military museums to be the vanguard of advanced military culture construction.
