In fact, the traditional art world has a relatively clear division of award levels. For example, the Chinese Painting Award named after "Chen Zhongzhi", Chen Zhongzhi is a famous contemporary Chinese painting master. He is good at figures and also paints flowers, birds, landscapes. One of the major characteristics of his figure painting is that he has a national style. He is a painter who is familiar with the tradition of Chinese painting. He not only masters the skills of freehand writing in painting, but also has a deep study of traditional paintings in the Han and Tang Dynasties. He pays great attention to brush and ink when painting, and uses the indulgence of literati brush and ink in concisely to the creation of modern figures. Such awards named after famous contemporary painters are second-level awards, with about 30 total, and the names of awards will continue to change. However, if every contemporary master can become a name for this award, it is a very honorable thing. The maximum maximum bonus is 100,000 yuan.

The first-level awards such as the "Jiang Zhaohe Ink Painting Award" are named after the deceased masters. The number of awards at the first-level is no more than ten, and the names of the awards will even change every year. It is to commemorate the deceased masters. The maximum bonus limit is 500,000 yuan.

The top three prizes do not need to be mentioned too much. Although their prizes are only one million, once one of them is obtained, the value of the painter's own works will grow rapidly. Just like after a writer in An Yi's world won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the prize for the literary prize itself is not very generous, but the sales of his works will definitely increase sharply. Of course, in some countries where piracy is rampant, you can see complete works by just a random search on the Internet, so the author is better than looking forward to the prize for the literary prize.

The pirated version will cause too much harm to the enthusiasm of original authors, which will also limit the birth of fine products.

In addition to these three levels of national awards, of course there is also a newcomer award, which is organized by the local calligraphy and painting association. Only by first winning the newcomer award can we be qualified to attack the national painting award, which directly excludes many painters with insufficient level.

Of course, it is not that no one won the newcomer award through connections and then qualified to participate in national awards. However, under the rigorous and open and fair selection mechanism of the national award, what is the level? You can tell at first sight when painting on the spot.

Therefore, Jiang Zimo was able to win the national painting award at the age of less than 30, and he was indeed very strong. He was Xu Liyong's favorite student!

"What kind of bamboo can I draw? Well... This kind of painting should be my level in elementary school." An Yi looked at the painting again, compared it with the Chinese painting about bamboo that he had drawn in his memory, and confirmed.

When Jiang Zimo heard this, he finally lost his grace and asked in a fury: "You said that my painting is not as good as yours in elementary school? Haha, I saw it today that a girl is so good at talking big! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here, so I'll visit my teacher!"

He had just finished speaking, but he saw two middle-aged men walking in, one of which was Shen Ningfan's father Shen Chengtian, and the other was Jiang Zimo and An Yi's teacher, Master Xu Liyong.

Seeing the lively home, the middle-aged handsome man Shen Chengtian couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, the home is so lively today. There are so many guests here, Xiaofan Xiaoya, you don't know what you are standing here for making a cup of tea for everyone?"

Shen Chengtian gives people a very kind feeling, like a spring breeze.

Xu Liyong beside him has an average appearance and a weird shape, because he always tilted his neck and raised his chin slightly when looking at people, which always gives people the feeling that he is despising you.

Xu Liyong glanced over An Yi and was too lazy to look at her more. When he saw Jiang Zimo, he spoke out: "This time you won the Chen Zhongzhi Chinese Painting Award, which is very good. Although I think the old guy can use it as the name of this award is just a waste of luck. Although the winning work you painted is rubbish, the other ones are all pigs. It is not surprising that they can win the award. So don't be proud, keep working hard in the future."

When Jiang Zimo heard Xu Liyong say this, he was obviously used to it. Instead, he felt that it was quite glorious. In Xu Liyong's eyes, ordinary works could not even be rated as garbage.

He glanced at An Yi with pride, but he didn't know that An Yi was also Xu Liyong's student, and An Yi was puzzled by the way he was scolded as garbage. Is this guy a trembling person?

Jiang Zimo said hello to Xu Liyong very respectfully, and then couldn't help but tell what happened between An Yi and him just now.

Xu Liyong glanced at Jiang Zimo's "Listen to the Bamboo in the Rain", tilted his head, looked at An Yi with a squint, and said, "If you evaluate this painting's 'level is OK', it means that your Chinese painting level is already terrible! Are these what you painted? What a broken thing! Don't mention that you are my student in the future!"

Xu Liyong took out the illustrations of An Yi for "Flower Season and Rainy Season", all of which were cut from a magazine, and she was even carrying them with her...

But he pointed to the illustration and cursed, and then tore it apart!

When Jiang Zimo saw Xu Liyong teach this girl so harshly, he was a little gloating at first. Then when he chewed Xu Liyong's words, he felt that the taste was wrong. What does "If you evaluate this painting's 'level is OK', it means that your Chinese painting level is already terrible." Isn't this saying that the other party's Chinese painting level is really high?

And Teacher Xu Liyong's last sentence also shows that the other party is also his student...

Jiang Zimo was a little confused at this moment. According to his understanding of his teacher, the more severe he treated the students, the higher his expectations were. He picked up some fragments of the illustration, and then he could see at a glance that this was the illustration containing "Huanxisha. Who would like to think of the coolness of the west wind alone".

The influence of this illustration has fermented into the traditional art world because the poem is written so well. The sentence "I just thought it was ordinary at that time" has made many circles praise it, but the illustrations that match the poems are too commercialized. The paintings that match the good poems are better than traditional Chinese paintings.

Jiang Zimo did not expect that An An who painted this illustration was actually her! If she was An An, then the level of writing and painting lyrics would be terrible!

An Yi was taught a lesson by Xu Liyong, silently lowered her head, feeling wronged for no reason, and her eyes suddenly turned red. I really felt pity for this...

"Teacher Xu! Xiaoyi is no longer your student. She can draw whatever she wants and ask you to take care of it! If she doesn't draw such paintings, our family will not be able to live." At this time, An Li saw that his sister was about to be scolded and cried. He quickly blocked his sister and glared at Xu Liyong. When he said the last sentence, his tone was a little sad, it was his brother useless.

Xu Liyong tilted his head and said coldly: "It's true that he is a waste that can't bear the blow..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Ningfan immediately interrupted angrily: "Old Dog Xu! **'s mouth is amazing, and now his level is not as good as An Yi. What is the basis for her to decline in her Chinese painting level? Now let her draw a Chinese painting about bamboo on the spot and let everyone appreciate it. Wouldn't that be fine?"

As a result, Chen Ningfan's words made his father Chen Chengtian criticize him again, saying that he did not respect his teacher, but Chen Ningfan's proposal was approved by Xu Liyong.

Xu Liyong called several times, and then the group moved to the empty lawn outside and prepared various painting tools. Next, several painting masters and painting masters in the city rushed over. Even the more than 20 students Xu Liyong was teaching recently arrived curiously. Such a situation made Chen Ningfan, the person who proposed, calmed down!

Since An Yi was severely scolded by Xu Liyong, she has been in very poor condition. Under such circumstances, many people shook their heads secretly when they saw this beautiful girl with red eyes and dazed eyes, thinking that Xu Liyong is really cruel. Isn’t this embarrassing An Yi in front of so many people?

What can memories of this state be drawn?

"Xiaoyi! No need to force yourself to draw. Your paintings don't need anyone to evaluate them. In my brother's heart, your paintings are always the best in the world!" An Li hugged his sister in his arms and said firmly in her ears.

The weak body with a gentle body fragrance made An Li, whose nose was surrounded by the fragrance of his sister's hair, seemed to be filled with the care in his heart. He has been used to seeing his sister with a bright smile recently. Today, he couldn't bear it when he saw his sister being wronged and wanted to cry!

If Xu Liyong was not An Yi’s teacher, he would want to beat him up!

If An Yi gave up painting at this time, no one would laugh at An Yi, and they thought this was a reasonable choice.

Xu Liyong looked cold and tilted his head, forcibly stuffed his brush to An Yi... I really don't know how hard his heart was.

When An Yi touched the brush, she held it tightly and continued for a while. She firmly left her brother's affectionate warm embrace. She raised her lowered head, and there seemed to be a flame burning in her eyes!

The more you burn, the more you become!

"I can draw!" An Yi's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone present!

Before painting, An Yi was confident!

That is the tough bamboo growing in the cracks of the rocks—

Hold on to the green mountains and do not relax, and the roots are originally in the broken rocks.

Thousands of blows are still strong, no matter how winds are east, west, south and north!
