[Explanation] The "busy meeting" is a gathering of relatives and friends mainly in the village after summer and autumn harvests in some rural areas of Guanzhong, Shaanxi.

This year, the third Guanzhong Busy Day Art Festival was held in Huyi District, Xi'an. More than 200 teachers and students from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts used thousands of paintbrushes to paint the beautiful countryside in their hearts on the corners of the villages.

  Xi'an Huxian Farmer Painting was born in the 1950s and was created by local farmers. The content is based on traditional Chinese rural life.

The peasant paintings of Huxian County were once famous for their simple style, brilliant colors, and unique techniques. Huxian County (now Huyi District, Xi'an City) is also known as the "Hometown of Modern Chinese Folk Painting".

The students of the Academy of Fine Arts combine local farmer painting traditions and artistic genes, draw local materials, and use real rural life as materials to bring the joy of farmers' harvest and the yearning for a better life to the earth.

  Wu Xiaochuan, director of the Experimental Art Department of Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts, believes that art has a leading role in the revitalization of the countryside. These works on the walls can attract more attention and make people curious about the countryside and start to contact and understand these villages, so as to explore the countryside from their own perspectives. beauty of.

At the same time, painting in the countryside also has a positive impact on student teaching.

  It also allows students to feel in the front line how art should be generated.

We always say that we should go to the grassroots and then to the common people. In fact, our course is to bring the students to the common people.

I just said that when we talked to our classmates this time, I said that when we went to the countryside, we painted the natural and beautiful scenery in the countryside and brought them to the art museum in the city.

Now can we leave something here, in fact, this is a more important thing.

  [Explanation] When creating on the wall, teachers and students have to climb up the scaffolding from time to time, or under the scorching sun to conceive a picture that is nearly 100 meters long.

After a few days, many people's faces were tanned and their hands were stained with oil.

Zhu Zhenjie, a student at the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, believes that this outdoor "training" has made many students feel the "down-to-earth" side of art, and at the same time exercised everyone's physical strength and patience, which benefited him a lot.

  According to the staff, the Guanzhong Busy Stop Art Festival has been held in Huyi District for two consecutive times.

Under this influence, the once-traditional rural labor and life scenes have not only been "upgraded" into art spaces by painting, photography and other methods, but also often attracted college teachers and students to turn the fields into exhibition scenes through dramas and operas.

This has also promoted the improvement of the local rural living environment and economic promotion.

  Before, our village was very chaotic and the environment was very poor. After recent years of renovation, and now that students from the Academy of Fine Arts have come to paint on the walls, we have become one, which can be said to be a "net celebrity check-in village". .

There are many citizens of Xi’an who drive over on Saturdays and Sundays, go around (walk around) in our village, take pictures, spend noon at our farmhouse, and improve the economy of our village, which is very good.
