Chinese modern woodcuts born in 1931,An bet365 withdrawal school centered on Lu Yi was formed in Yan'an。Liqun is one of the members of this bet365 withdrawal school,Make this ideological tendency consistent in the article、The woodcut school with similar artistic styles is called the "Yan'an School"。The artists who came to Yan'an sympathized with the public,Have a deep understanding of the lives of the lower class people。They have a mission,Going to Yan'an with passion。They went deep into the masses in Yan'an,Direct participation in agricultural labor,Understand the real thoughts and lives of the masses,From the depths of emotion to the public,And take your works to the masses,Listen to the opinions of the people,Experience the true feelings of the masses。

Anti-Japanese War Period,Due to the Japanese blockade of the border area,Yan’an is very short of supplies,There is also a lack of necessary bet365 withdrawal materials and supplies,In many cases,Artists must be self-reliant,Adapt measures to local conditions,Make your own bet365 withdrawal tools。There are many jujube trees in northern Shaanxi,Easy to make woodcut baseplate,An iron nail can be made into a simple carving knife after being hammered,You can also make simple mimeograph materials yourself,Therefore, woodcut prints have become the most popular bet365 withdrawal category in Yan’an,The bet365 withdrawal Department of Luyi once became the Woodcut Department,Wood engraving has also become one of the compulsory courses for students。

Late autumn of 1938,The "Lu Yi Woodcut Working Group" was established in Yan'an,Main members include Hu Yichuan、Yan Han、Luo Gongliu、Huashan etc.。They insist on creating prints in difficult circumstances,Exhibit in a flowing manner,Become a short and capable "Qingqi Team"。In the process of creation,Woodcarvers go deep into life、Go deep into the countryside,Familiar with farmers、The life, thoughts and feelings of soldiers,Explore the artistic content and forms that the people love to see。In terms of creative techniques,They combine sketches with single lines of traditional Chinese New Year pictures,With simplicity、Clear lines and knife skills are the main focus,Change single frame、The woodcut cartoon works that the masses call no beginning or end have been changed to have storylines、Continuous comic strips and group paintings,The plot and narrative of the story are through the characters、expression、The actions and related props are visible to the people、Understandable information of the times。In creative form,Using the creative technique of Chinese folk color woodblock New Year pictures。Because of the need for rapid publicity and the need to copy the work as much as possible,So woodcut prints are less carefully traced,Mostly done in one go,Several bright colors are added to the black woodcut plate,More expressionistic style。Because the work reflects life in the border area,Easy to understand,Very popular among farmers。During this period, a number of excellent works close to life were created,Such as "Brother's Holiday", "Marriage Registration" and "Struggle for Rent Reduction" by Gu Yuan、"Take Back Our Cattle and Sheep" and "Unyielding" by Wo Zha、"Don't wait for the weather to miss the farming season" by Ma Da、"Picture of Plenty of Food and Clothing" by Li Qun、Xia Feng's "Self-Defense Forces Target Shooting" etc.,Combine content and form well,Exhibiting a strong flavor of life and the flavor of the times,bet365 withdrawal forms increasingly show national characteristics。

Mao Zedong’s “Speech at the Yan’an Forum on Literature and bet365 withdrawal” officially expresses the theme of workers, peasants and soldiers、The development direction of literature and bet365 withdrawal in the liberated areas is determined to achieve the aesthetic taste that the common people like in form。Artists began to consciously express their preferences、Put your vision into the workers and peasants。On how to make the emerging woodblock printmaking movement more popular、On the issue of nationalization,Proposed by Hu Yichuan, then head of the Luyi Woodcut Research Class,We must break the narrow circle,Making woodcuts public property,Recruit workers, peasants and soldiers in large numbers to join the ranks of woodcuts,So that they can not only appreciate woodcuts,Also provide them with the opportunity to learn and create woodcuts。bet365 withdrawal workers still overcome various difficulties,Develop Yan’an’s woodcuts to more remote border areas,Published many anti-enemy propaganda woodcut works in local newspapers such as "Anti-Enemy Daily·Anti-Enemy Supplement", "Haiyan Literature and bet365 withdrawal Supplement", "Battlefield Literature and bet365 withdrawal",Used to promote national integrity,Play a propaganda role among the masses to encourage soldiers and civilians to persist in the war of resistance behind enemy lines。The bet365 withdrawal workers in the border area at that time were creating anti-enemy propaganda,While conducting popular training for grassroots personnel,Establishment of "Northwestern Field Service Corps",Guiding local people in bet365 withdrawal work,Guide them to understand what “new” literature and bet365 withdrawal is,Which styles are included, etc.。In the "Resolution on the Development of Mass bet365 withdrawal" passed by the Border District Cultural Association in November 1944, it called for: "New literature should be developed among the masses (Worker and Peasant Newsletter、Poster、Blackboard、New songbook、Story、New Spring Festival couplets, etc.)、New bet365 withdrawal (New New Year Pictures、Woodcut、Paper cutting、New comic strip、Pictures and albums、New foreign films, etc.)、New music (new chants、New drum books, etc.)、New dance and new arts organizations (clubs、Cultural Room、Cultural Channel、Cultural Shed、Exhibition、Party, etc.),On the one hand, we must unite and educate the old storytellers among the masses、Storyteller、Painter、Women cutting paper、Minorist、Lian Zizuijia、Blow player, etc.,Make it serve the people’s new life。”Under this policy,Mass bet365 withdrawal presents a new look,Integrating bet365 withdrawal with people’s lives and struggles,Artistic content and form have also been coordinated。

Expressing the people’s labor production in the war of national liberation、The new democratic life has become an important theme in the creation of Yan'an woodcut works。In the process of emphasizing the nationalization of Yan'an woodcuts,Woodcutters also selectively borrowed foreign techniques that had an impact on China’s emerging woodcut revolution。Such as Wang Shikuo's "Reforming the Second-rater"、The important reason for the success of Yan Han's "Interrogation" and other works is the author's profound realistic modeling skills and knowledge of German prints、References from Soviet printmaking techniques,Appropriately integrate its strengths into the creation of traditional Chinese Yangxian woodcut techniques,Pioneeringly forming the woodcut bet365 withdrawal with distinctive characteristics of the Chinese era and national characteristics。

Gu Yuan, Xia Feng and others also based on the form of paper-cut window grilles affixed to window panes during the Spring Festival in northwest my country,Created a batch of reflection production、Literacy、Window grilles with labor and other themes,Very well received by the public,Become a fruitful example in exploring the nationalization process of woodcuts。Especially Gu Yuan’s works,Using the black and white contrasting styling technique of Western European woodcuts,Understand the formal rules of interlacing black and white,On the basis of generally and accurately expressing the character modeling organization of the picture,Also maintain the original traditional form of Chinese woodblock New Year pictures,The characters shown are both clearly layered and have a prominent subject,Effectively renders theme effects,Not only shows the "beauty of power" of woodcut bet365 withdrawal,It also strengthens the expression of the character's personality,Simple and realistic,Formed a distinctive national style and regional characteristics。His works such as "Cows", "People's Soldiers" and "Homeland" are vivid and vivid、Full flavor of life,Received praise from people,Has strong charisma,Has a great influence on the emerging printmaking bet365 withdrawal in the liberated areas。After the Yan’an Forum on Literature and bet365 withdrawal,A batch of print works such as "District Government Office", "Divorce Suit" and "Learn from Wu Manyou" were rarely seen in the past in expressing grassroots life,Contains a distinct flavor of the times。

1939,Yan’an Woodcut Exhibition in the Soviet Union,Attracted the attention of foreign reporters,English、Many newspapers and magazines in the United States published articles introducing Yan'an woodcuts。1942,Yan'an Woodcut Exhibition held in Chongqing, rear area,A sensation in Chongqing’s cultural circles,Mao Dun、Introduction to Xu Beihongjun’s writings。Xu Beihong praised Gu Yuan as "a great artist among the Chinese Communist Party",“A contestant whose works compete in world bet365 withdrawal competitions”。Foreign reporters who came to Yan'an took many photos of bet365 withdrawal activities,Some even ask for original woodcuts to be taken overseas for collection。Woodcut prints became one of the most important bet365 withdrawal forms for the Chinese Communist Party’s foreign policy propaganda at that time。
