Last year, I went to the Moon Bay Writers Village, and this time I came to the "Xianrenchong Painter Village" in Huoshan with my friends.
Xianrenchong Painter Village is located in Xianrenchong Village, Zhufo 'an Town, Huoshan County, about 30 minutes' drive from Huoshan County. Its appearance originated from a group of people from Huoshan Fine Arts Association who came here to sketch, attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and thought of famous painter villages such as Beijing 798 and Songzhuang.
Xianrenchong painter village is located in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, surrounded by mountains and waters, hidden in the sea of ten thousand mu of bamboo. The environment is very quiet and picturesque, and it enjoys the reputation of "the first painter village in Dabie Mountain". Xianrenchong painter village not only has beautiful scenery, but also has profound cultural background and rich cultural landscape. Its predecessor was the third-line factory in the 1960s.
Speaking of "third-line factories", young people may not know much about it, but for the older generation, it must be deeply touched. In the early 1960s, a large-scale military enterprise "Third-line Factory" was built in the third-line area of central and western China, where builders from all over the country lived. The predecessor of Xianrenchong Painter Village was the surviving factory.
Four military factories, Red Star Machinery Factory, Wanxi Machinery Factory, Jiangbei Machinery Factory and Wanxi Chemical Factory, once gathered here. At that time, they had the reputation of "little shanghai" and "the largest city in the region". Looking at the mottled buildings in front of me, it seems that I have crossed back to that era at once, and everything I see in front of me is so retro and nostalgic.
The former military factory was transformed into a painter's village under the premise of maintaining its original style, becoming a famous art paradise in the local area and even in Anhui, and a punching place for online celebrities, attracting many painters and painters to settle down here. Its artistic atmosphere is very strong, and it blends with the green mountains and green waters, showing its humanistic customs.
Entering the work as a painter, I can't help feeling when I look at the beautiful paintings and working environment in front of me. I used to be an art lover, but now I have become a travel blogger who records life and beautiful things with a camera. I can't help feeling that if I persisted in that year, I would be immersed in artistic creation even if I were not famous now.
There is an art gallery in Xianrenchong painter village, which displays a large number of paintings. Although the art museum is simple, it has a sense of design. Minimalist painting style and rough framework are all in it, and its strong artistic atmosphere is also a wonderful enjoyment.
Not far away, there is a third-line military museum that basically maintains its original style. Just a glance at the quaint buildings is enough to make you feel the visual enjoyment brought by the sense of the times.
The predecessor of this museum is the old third-line military enterprise in western Anhui, and it is also the only museum with the theme of third-line culture in China, covering an area of 4,380 square meters.
Here, you can not only appreciate the buildings with strong retro flavor, but also deeply feel the vivid scenes and hard dedication of the older generation of military workers. Of course, it is also suitable for taking pictures, especially portraits.
