People's Daily see Hunan | Xiaohe Township, Liuyang City, Hunan Province, leads the village to rejuvenate the mountains in the mountains.

From the city of Liuyang City, Hunan Province, it goes up to the Liuyang River, and it is more than 70 kilometers east to drive for more than an hour to the hinterland of the Luoxiao Mountains at the turn of Hunan and Jiangxi. The reckless mountains are embracing a large flat slope. This is Xiaohe Township, known as the "Xiaohe in the painting".

Zhan Qiuming, who was drawing in the rural studio of Xinhe Village, stopped. A pair of rough hands and reporters are holding together. The reporter looked at the 50 -year -old painter in front of him. He was not tall, his skin was dark, wrinkles like gully, and climbed a thin face.

"This is the most famous peasant painter in our township!" Said Shao Yan, secretary of the township party committee.

Zhan Qiuming laughed a little embarrassed: "When working, I looked up and saw the clouds and mist surrounded by the mountains. I felt very atmospheric and wanted to draw it.

From drawing lines, coloring on the line, to independent copying of landscape paintings, to letting the landscapes and fields of the hometown entering the painting, Zhan Qiuming has achieved skills improvement, which takes more than 3 years. "Painting, paying attention to mentioning, pressing, running, frustration!" The farmer painter was very professional.

Zhan Qiuming's family originally lived on the mountains, and life was inconvenient. In 2016, the construction of a new countryside in the township was moved from the mountain. There are only 4 acres of rice fields in the family, and parents who have been in the past, and the son of elementary school. In order to take care of the family, Zhan Qiuming can only work at the door of the house.

In 2017, Xiaohe Township integrated the funds for poverty alleviation in the industry, attracted cultural merchants, and introduced oil painting, craft painting and other projects. The college students of the artist and the Academy of Fine Arts taught farmers to paint. Farmers drew paintings, corporate package sales.

Seeing that the neighbors learned to draw and earned money, Zhan Qiuming encouraged his wife to learn. His wife was full of energy and studied for a month or two. "She wasn't that material, and then I had to go." Zhan Qiuming said, "I picked up the brush for the first time, and I felt that the brush was heavier than the hoe. I couldn't stop when I stopped." One month of training, Zhan Qiuming only learned to draw lines and practice balance. The start is not smooth, but the man in the mountains will not lose easily. At the end of the training, Zhan Qiuming was studying online, learning while learning, drawing while drawing. Three months later, Zhan Qiuming's "Dou" finally sold 5 yuan. Now Lao Zhan's landscape paintings can be sold for six or seven hundred yuan!

In this studio transformed from granary, farmers are busy at their respective stations. Huang Baiyou is meticulously drawing lines. "We are running water. I am the first process here." 49 -year -old Huang Baiyou had worked in Dongguan, Guangdong for 10 years. He couldn't take care of the elderly and children, which made her guilty. The studio in the village opened, and she resigned and returned to the village. "Now a month's income is stable at more than 3,000 yuan.

"There are more than 50 farmers painters in the studio. The farmers are busy taking hoe and usually with brushes." Wang Chunqiu, secretary of the party branch of Xinhe Village, introduced, "At the beginning, more than 100 people in the village signed up for learning!"

The farmers' painting industry is one of the industries that consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation results in Xiaoshe Township. At present, Xiaohe Township has 6 paintings, including craftsmanship, oil painting and creative paintings, and 460 farmers painters. Through the village -enterprise cooperation model, Xiaohe Township has uniform training and sales to cultivate the farmers of the "touching hoe" into painters of "touching brush". The paintings are sold in more than 10 countries overseas, driving 42 households to establish poor households from poverty alleviation.

There are 5 villages and more than 15,000 people in Xiaohe Township. A few years ago, it was the highest proportion of poor people in Liuyang City a few years ago. In recent years, through the development of farmers' paintings, rural tourism, etc., Xiaohe Township has created a number of rural tourism punching fields such as fish scale dams, art streets, live printing non -heritage halls, and Xinghe Observatory. Precision poverty alleviation has also initially realized the beauty of the village and the rich villagers.

"I haven't left my hometown in my life. I didn't expect my painting to go abroad for me." After a painting, Zhan Qiuming conceived the next work, "I want to draw a" small river on the cloud ", Draw up the Dawei Mountain, Xiaoxi River, Luo Hansong, which is more than 1,000 years, and our good days now!
