(1) Hao Xudong, the designer of the special stamp "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map"

Hao Xudong, the designer of special stamps and well-known stamp designer, "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", visited the first stamp issue of Changshu and signed for the stamp collectors on the spot to express his deep feelings about designing this set of stamps. Listen to the report:

The ability to design the famous hand-painted paintings of Huang Gongwang, the master of the Yuan Dynasty, is for stamp designer Hao Xudong.

An extraordinary opportunity. [Huang Gongwang is the first of the four people in the Yuan Dynasty. He is not only a representative figure of literati paintings, but also from the emperor to literati. Because Huang Gongwang is an outstanding figure in the history of culture, it is a milestone from the perspective of cultural heritage in China. Designing this set of stamps is a joy and pride from the heart. ]

The important political significance behind cultural heritage has made Hao Xudong full of responsibility and honor for designing this set of stamps:

[Now this picture is partly hidden in the Zhejiang Museum and partly in the Forbidden City of Taiwan. In fact, Premier Wen also said, do nt forget 5000 years of cultural history because of 50 years of politics. Both culture and cross-strait are very meaningful. ]

So how can a designer show this famous painting between square inches? Hao Xudong: [From my point of view, how can the design method better reflect and restore the spirit and style of the original painting through design methods. Mainly from the division of stamps, and maintaining the style of the picture as much as possible to reflect the spirit of the original painting. ]

Hao Xudong is just as happy as Changshu people when the special stamp "Fuchun Mountain Residence" special stamp can be launched in Changshu, the hometown of Huang Gongwang. [It is both the pride of Changshu people and the pride of the Chinese nation. He hopes that through his works, people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits can better understand Chinese culture and inherit Chinese culture. [It is very important to inherit and understand Chinese culture, because Chinese culture does need to be passed down from generation to generation, and it must be promoted. ]

(2) "Interview with Hao Xudong, a well-known stamp designer and a special stamp designer of" Fuchun Mountain Residence "

At this year's "two sessions" press conference, Premier Wen Jiabao referred to the famous Chinese painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" on both sides of the Tibetan Strait. He said affectionately: "When will the two halves be combined into a whole painting. The painting is so Why are people embarrassed? "Premier Wen's words aroused the concern of all circles in the society.

On March 20th, the special stamps of the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" based on the entire picture of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" were first issued in Changshu, Jiangsu and Fuyang, Zhejiang, respectively. The on-site signature also once again made all sectors of society look forward to the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" and cross-strait exchanges. To this end, the reporter interviewed Hao Xudong, a famous stamp designer and special stamp designer of "Fuchun Mountain Residence".

Hao Xudong told reporters: "The significance of the special stamps of" Fuchun Mountain Residence "can be extended to a wide range of fields, but the most important thing is culture, which is the best witness of the same root culture across the Taiwan Straits."

Born in Changshu, Jiangsu in 1269, Huang Gongwang is known for his landscape paintings and is known as the head of the Yuan Family. From 1347 to 1350, Huang Gongwang created a paper ink painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence" in Fuyang, Zhejiang Province, which depicts the beautiful scenery of the early autumn on the banks of the Fuchun River in a long scroll. The ink and brush are clear and the mood is long. Its reputation is one of the top ten famous paintings in China.

For more than 600 years, the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" has been repeatedly robbed. During the Qing Dynasty, Shunzhi was burned and divided into two sections. The first half of the book was framed separately and renamed "The Remaining Mountains", with a width of 31.8 cm and a length of 51.4 cm. It is now in the possession of the Zhejiang Museum and is known as the "Treasure of the Town Museum" of Zhejiang Museum. The second half is called "Useless Teacher's Book", 33 cm wide and 636.9 cm long. It is now hidden in the Taipei Palace Museum.

Hao Xudong said: "The design of the special stamps in the" Fuchun Mountain Residences "considers how to better restore the style and taste of the original work. Therefore, the best design is not exposed." It restores the original features of cherishing ink and gold, and the simple pen features, expressing a light and profound artistic conception; the second is that there are six stamps in the form of six consecutive sheets, and the original works open the atmosphere, so the division of each sheet must be just right. The general stamp is 50 × 30 mm. The special stamp of Fuchun Mountain Residence is designed to be 60 × 30 mm. When they are connected, there is a long and magnificent volume, which looks exquisite and spectacular. The first stamp was taken from the "Left Mountain Map" of the Zhejiang Museum.

"In recent years, the cultural circles on both sides of the strait have been committed to the" Fuchun Mountain Residence Map "," Broken Mirror and Circle ", and" Combined "exhibited the original appearance of historical masterpieces, but have not yet achieved it." Hao Xudong told reporters, "Restore the" Fuchun Mountain Residence Map " We feel that it is particularly meaningful to let the handed down treasures that exist in the mainland and Taiwan first realize 'reunion' on stamps. "

"Either painting or people, they are all in the same line, and I hope this will become a link to promote cross-strait exchanges." Hao Xudong said, "Now from the central to the local, the atmosphere of attaching great importance to culture is very strong. Changshu has kept Huang intact so far. Gongwang's tombs and shrines, the government also built the Huanggongwang Memorial Hall. I hope Taiwan compatriots can not only see the treasures representing Chinese culture such as the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" in the museum, but also come to the mainland to 'see the roots'. Common understanding can downplay many other

(3) "Accurately Reflect the Theme with Artistic Language-Hao Xudong Talks about Stamp Design for the 90th Anniversary of the Founding of the Party"

2011 marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. To commemorate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the party, China Post issued a set of 6 stamps and 1 sheetlet of the "90th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China" on June 22, 2011.

According to Hao Xudong, the designer of this set of stamps, the key to designing this set of stamps is accurate positioning and proper measurement. He said: "Stamps of political themes are an important category of stamps in China. Many stamps of similar themes have been issued. How to express these kinds of stamps and give them distinctive characteristics of the times is my concern. .Stamps of this type of subject matter have their own characteristics. In my understanding, the most important thing in the design of stamps of this kind is to find the correct positioning. Positioning is the basis for designing stamps of this kind. If the positioning is not accurate, everything else is It ca nt be implemented step by step. Simply positioning can be considered from two aspects, one is the understanding of the topic, and the other is the performance of the design. "

"Take this set of stamps for example. If we can't sort out the historical content involved in the 90 years since the founding of the Communist Party of China, there will be no proper artistic expression and difficult to design. For me, for this, Understanding the selection of stamps depends on the help of the relevant authorities in the superior department and the editorial department. Their help has made the 90-year history of the Chinese Communist Party clearer in my mind before I started designing this set of stamps. Outline. So, all I do is to visualize understanding that can stand up to it. "

This set of stamps fully shows the glorious history of the Chinese Communist Party in the 90 years since its establishment. The picture elements of the first stamp "Breaking New Ground" include the site of the "big one" of the Communist Party of China and the large-scale oil painting work "Sailing" collected by the China Art Museum. The convening of the "big one" of the Communist Party of China announced the formal establishment of the Communist Party of China, which is an epoch-making milestone in the history of modern Chinese revolution. The second stamp, "The Years of Fire," uses the monument to the people's heroes and its relief "Crossing the Yangtze River" as the picture element to show that the Communist Party of China led the people to victory in the new democratic revolution and established the People's Republic of China. The third stamp "Governance and Entrepreneurship" uses Tiananmen Tower and a group of sculptures of workers, peasants and soldiers in the "Great Achievements" of the North Gate of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall as the picture elements, which shows the achievements of the Communist Party of China in leading the people during the socialist revolution and construction period. Great victory. The fourth stamp "The Tide of Reform" uses the Communiqué of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee issued by the People's Daily and the Shenzhen Civic Center, a landmark civic center, the Diwang Mansion, and the sculpture "The Pioneer Bull" as the picture elements. The Third Plenary Session opened a new historical period of reform and opening up, and Shenzhen is the landmark city of China's reform and opening up. The fifth stamp, "Leapfrog of the Century," features the landscape of the China Millennium Monument and the Bund in Shanghai as picture elements. The sixth stamp "Scientific Development" features picture elements of the first astronauts space evacuation activities in China, the launch pad of the Shenzhou spacecraft, the National Stadium of the Beijing Olympics and the China Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo to fully show the significant improvement in China s 30 years of reform and opening up. Economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength. The stamp sheetlet has the party flag, and is bordered by the majestic Great Wall and the magnificent Yellow River. It has the implication that we are holding up the party's flag and striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

"This kind of visualization is to accurately reflect the theme of stamps in the language of art. In this regard, my first consideration is the main color. The main color of this set of stamps is red, which is undoubted, but whether it can be used in place or whether the pattern can be used. Tension is not a simple issue, the key is the grasp of the use of size. This sense of size must also be reflected in the choice of pattern background and other design elements. Red is not a simple color. If you set the background of a full set of stamps I feel that the effect is not the best when it is covered with red. After several repetitions, I used a red and yellow transition and appropriate white for the main color of this set of stamps, which gives people a natural feeling, which enriches the picture. It also complements other design elements to make the whole look more distinct and closely match the stamp theme. "

"I used to have an idea in the background pattern of stamps, which was to use a party emblem and design a plan accordingly. But then I felt that the use of the flag was also a key element that closely matched the theme of the stamp because of its representativeness and The sharpness is clear at the same time, and the combination with the main color tone is more natural and the meaning will be richer. Although the banner has appeared in stamps of the same theme many times as a design element, its past use is too small. This time, the banner is placed again In the background, it is to set the tone for the overall design and to pave the way for other design elements. Because of the different roles, the flag is unfolded in this set of stamps. "

"During the design process, the elements I chose were carefully selected. The standard is to conform to the characteristics of the Communist Party of China in different historical periods reflected in each stamp main picture, and it is universal and commemorative. And inclusive, but also conducive to the reproduction of artistic methods. Although the things reflected in stamps are specific, their meaning should be richer and deeper. Elements that are too specific are too specific because of their directivity, but It is not suitable to be presented as a periodic symbol. No matter what kind of stamp, the design is just a realization process. The stamp artwork must be determined after the review. Therefore, from this perspective, the feeling of this set of stamps is that In line with the overall positioning of the topic. "
