Why do we need art?——The essence of art

If various art works such as calligraphy and painting appear in a country where most people are looking forward to, does it make sense? Art reviews, popular science, promotion and art market prospects predicted in paper, or virtual Internet stubbornness is enough to change the artistic atmosphere of a group? And what kind of artistic scenes are those who travel between artists, broadcasting their sounds, and passing their voice?

Everything is directed to the same problem: What is the essence of art?

Marx proposed that "there are four ways to mind the world, namely the spirit of practice, theoretical, art and religion."

The essence of art is the sublimation of human heart and spiritual world. It does not directly act on reality, nor can it meet the value of people's material life, but it is an indispensable spiritual force that is indispensable for human progress. The recovery of human nature.

This also explains why we need art.

Whether it is artistic creation or art appreciation, art is the way to seek spiritual redemption.

However, with the continuous acceleration of the industrialization process, the emergence and development of various media technologies such as television and movies, the traditional Chinese art industry has been strongly impacted and even faces the problem of survival. As a result, the protection and development of traditional Chinese art has become an important issue for our art management and cultural development today.

For the purpose of inheritance and caring for traditional Chinese culture, the state has launched an application for the protection of intangible cultural heritage in many projects. But at the same time, there are several problems that bother us: how can people and people know and participate in it for inheritance and carrying forward traditional Chinese culture? And where are the people who are interested in art itself to appreciate art further and multiple angles, and learn from the energy and spiritual power they need? And the current situation of the art world is really as some people say, in a state of false prosperity, controlled by a small number of people, does ordinary people have no channel for obtaining or even understanding art resources?

In response to such issues, Mr. Pan Hongguo, deputy director (current) of the China Popular Arts Association Rong Media Center, founded the "Shenzhou Hanlin Academy Network" in 2021. Website, including directory Shenzhou News, Hanlin interviews, Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy, Hanlin College, and other related sectors.

The name of "Shenzhou Hanlin Academy" was taken from the Hanlin Academy of the ancient court, that is, the top raising talents in ancient China. Taoism, calligraphy and painting, and chess talents. As the name suggests, the original intention of the founder to establish this website is to build a platform to integrate the resources of the art world of painting and calligraphy, and do everything he can digging, protecting, inheriting, promoting national culture, deep cultivation of content, vertical layout, and creating calligraphy and painting with calligraphy and painting. The artist is the core vertical cultural system, using the stage of showing talents as an artist, the fertile soil that enlighten and cultivated Chinese cultural and artistic talents, and the bridge between artists and enthusiasts. All in all, providing a channel to the art world for everyone.

In the end, it will become a gate, open it, or touch the essence of art, and find a quiet and peaceful spiritual home. (Text/Pan Hongguo))
