This is my 60th Combined Paintingthat I have created / painted for Chinese Classical Poetry, and my 663rd painting since 2003 ; also, it is my 36th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.
I created 4 paintings to match the poem lyric Bu Suan Zi - Yong Mei by Mr. Mao Zedong (1893 - 1996) in June, 2010, when I just came back from a long distance travel from USA, with the sicknesses on my eyes, bones and digestive system.
At that time, I did suddenly understood why Chinese have loved the plum blossoms for several thousand years.
Anyway, then, though I did not satisfy my works, I had no the ability to improve it and I could only paint the little size paintings.
And then, the study in China central Academy of Fine Arts helped me feel that a piece of paper 136cm x 70cm was not too big. Right now, the study in Chinese National Academy of Arts has let me feel that a piece of paper 180cm x 97cm is not too big.
So, this weekend, I re-painted the painting to match the poem, my music tutor - Prof. Meng Weiye corrected my music writing, my English tutors - Mrs. Xiaogang Z., Mr. Mike, J and Mr. William G. corrected my translations.
I really hope that our effort will be some help with you to know something more about Chinese culture.
The Main Meaning of the Lyric
Bu Suan Zi • Ode to the Plum Blossoms
By Mao Zedong (1893 - 1976)
(Reading Lu You's Lyrics -- Bu Suan Zi • Ode to the Plum Blossom, write with the same tune, but the opposite meaning.)
The wind & rain saw spring off ,
The flying snow welcomes it back.
Though the cliff is still covered with ice,
There is a plum blossom pretty.
Never vie with the spring for beauty,
Just being the messenger of the spring.
When the mountain flowers are in full bloom,
She will smile among the flowers.
The Other Translation by Foreign Languages Press, March, 1999
OLD TO THE PLUM BLOSSOM
鈥曗�晅o the tune of Bu Suan Zi
December 1961
On reading Lu You鈥檚 Old to the Plum Blossom, I countered it with
the following lines.
Wind and rain escorted Spring鈥檚 departure,
Flying snow welcomes Spring鈥檚 return.
On the ice-clad rock rising high and sheer
A flower blooms sweet and fair.
Sweet and fair, she craves not Spring for herself alone.
To be the harbinger of Spring she is content.
When the mountain flowers are in full bloom
She will smile mingling in their midst.
