Essays and rambles are prose and essays in style, while cartoons are essays and essays in paintings, which are generally short in length and randomly selected, and express their essence through realism, metaphor, symbol, borrowing, exaggeration and finishing touch.
Chinese painting originated three generations ago, and it is impossible to textual research one by one because of its detailed records.
Seeking all the historical facts, what can be obtained and described, should have originated in the Yu Shun period.
In history, Chao Shi made wood and painted wheel rings, and Fu Guanxing painted gossip about birds and animals, which was the beginning of China's painting.
When Cang Xie came out, we observed the direction of Kuixing's crankshaft, observed the traces of Guiwen mountains and rivers, and made hieroglyphics with our bodies. The rudiment of Chinese painting has taken shape.
Therefore, it is developing day by day, with a history of more than 4000 years. Painting has become a great art country and has a far-reaching influence on the world.
However, China's cartoons have a history of less than one hundred years.
As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Shiceng published an impromptu work in the Pacific Daily in Shanghai, which was short and witty.
Unfortunately, its frequent wars, dust and smoke, and the loss of publications make it difficult to see the whole picture. Only the similar cartoons collected by Chen in Beijing Notes edited by Lu Xun and Zheng Zhenduo can still see the aftertaste of early cartoons.
In the mid-1920s, or rather 1925, Feng Zikai's paintings were published in Literature Weekly, and the editors called them "cartoons", and the names of cartoons began to appear in front of the public.
Since then, and in the past 70 years, China's cartoons have come from behind, and they are colorful, such as exotic flowers and exotic flowers, and they have become a spectacular sight in Yao Yuan.
With creative spirit, rich life experience and artistic attainments, cartoonists have developed the painting art of cartoons, especially cartoons, which are closer to and reflect the reality, so that the comic works in the past 70 years have shown the worldly wisdom for more than 70 years, exposed and satirized the corruption and darkness of old China from different levels and sides, reflected the prospect of national struggle for liberation, publicized democratic thoughts and times features, and showed the artistic taste of individuality, making cartoons a treasure in China's painting art.
In order to promote the comic art, let people at home and abroad know more about the whole long scroll of comic development and the Samadhi of comic art, we will sort out and edit the representative works of Mr. Fang Cheng, who has made great achievements and great influence in chinese comic, and launch them one after another on a regular basis.

Make a scene in heaven
Producer: Chinese mainland
Year: 1964
Director: Wan Laiming
1964, the 120-minute animated film "Make a scene in Heaven" by Shanghai Animation Film Studio changed the tragic tail of the Monkey King, who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain in the original work, into a bright ending.
Making trouble in Heaven is a concentrated expression of China's traditional culture and artistic aesthetics.
Many characters, including the protagonist the Monkey King, have rich connotations of Peking Opera masks, classical paintings and traditional sculptures.
As far as the combination of China's classical culture and modern animation technology is concerned, Making a scene in Heaven is both a peak and a masterpiece.
A few years later, overseas animation headed by Astro Boy began to flood into the China market, but the local animation industry could not reproduce the perfection and glory of the 1960s due to various factors.
1926 China's first cartoon produced by ten thousand brothers came out. 1955 China's first color cartoon "Why is the crow black" won awards abroad, and three monks, gourd brothers, Xuetong and black cat sheriff all won awards internationally.
We have also produced internationally advanced cartoons, such as Noisy Heaven, Little Tadpole Looking for Mother, Peacock Princess and Moody, and later we have successively produced outstanding works such as Noisy Sea and Golden Monkey Devil.
