大气者，乃画之格局。喻先生画花鸟，完全没有雕虫琢花之感，无论仙鸟佳卉、一泓清水，还是祥云旭日、拳石朗月，外合春秋时序，内发丹青义气，不局不促、不拘不束，浓淡相宜，雍容弥清，风雅极意，融天地会乾坤。

正气者，乃画之魂魄。喻先生之花鸟画，物像精细，形神兼备，不奇不怪，不庸不俗，繁花明丽，禽鸟生机，韵味神采，澄明心怀，尽显堂正之魂魄、昂扬之精神，浩然正气，天地一统，至大至刚。

喜气者，乃画之形意。喻先生深谙和合之道，擅以瑞禽佳卉入画呈祥，莲塘佳偶，双鹤凌波，梨花春雨，白玉枝头，梅菊双綬，孔雀阅春，寒玉春晖，玉兰太平，白羽醉风，琼花聚仙，瑞鹤迎春，高瞻远瞩，不嗔不恚，不颓不戚，画里化 外，形吉意祥。

格局、魂魄、形意，画之大要也。三者兼备，非大家而不能，喻先生之画，可谓格局大气，魂魄正气，形意喜气。孟子曰:“气，体之充也。”大气、正气、喜气，三气归一，始成大家大作。

唐代张彦远言:“夫画者成教化,助人伦,穷神变测幽微,与六籍同功,四时并运。 发于天然，非由述作。”中国工笔画源远流长，乃中华文化之瑰宝，内涵儒释道之精髓，浸蕴华夏人民之向往，积淀延年，独树一帜于世界画坛，值得深入发掘，永续传承。

Preface

 Mr. Yu Jigao--master of contemporary Chinese realistic flower-and -bird Painting, who's art is inherited from the two great masters--Fu Baoshi and Chen Zhifo, blended the ancient and modern times, adopted the long and broad views of the public, gathered the greatest achievements, and created an extraordinary monument in the history of Chinese realistic painting.

 From my perspective, there are three words that can express the most direct feeling of Mr. Yu's painting: grandiose, righteous, and jubilant.

 The feeling of grandiosity is the pattern of the painting. Whether it's a beautiful bird, a stream of water, an auspicious cloud, a sunset, a stone, or a bright moon, he is in tune with the order of spring and autumn externally and develops a sense of righteousness inside.

 The feeling of righteousness is the soul of the painting. Mr. Yu's flower-and-bird paintings are fine in appearance and spirit, neither strange nor bizarre, neither nor vulgar, with bright and beautiful flowers, vibrant birds, and vivid charm. The clarity of the heart reveals the upright soul, the uplifting spirit, the righteousness, the unity of heaven and earth, the greatness, and the firmness.

 The feeling of jubilance is the implication of the painting. Mr. Yu is well versed in the way of harmony. He is good at combining birds and flowers into present auspiciousness in his paintings. For example, the lotus pond, double cranes over the waves, pear blossom and spring rain, white jade branch, plum and chrysanthemum, a peacock in spring, cold jade and spring sunshine, magnolia and peace, white feather drunken wind, Qiong flowers gathering fairy, crane welcoming the spring, far-sighted, not anger, not rage, not decadence. No

 Grandiose, Righteous, and Jubilant matter inside and outside of the painting, the shape is auspicious.Pattern, with spirit, form and meaning are the core elements of the painting. Mr. Yu's paintings can be described as grandiose patterns, righteous spirits, and jubilant shapes. Ancient sage--Mencius once said: "Qi is the fullness of the body.” Only when the three elements are united will a masterpiece be created.

 Zhang Yanyuan, a great painter of Chinese Tang Dynasty, once said:" Painting is a way to cultivate the people, to help humans establish morality, to help change the spirit, to measure the subtleties, to work with the six meridians, and to develop the natural world. It is not made by the description." Chinese realistic painting, with a very long and far-reaching history, is a treasure of Chinese culture. It contains the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, impregnated with the aspirations of the Chinese people, and accumulated precipitation for many years. It is unique in the world of painting, worthy of in-depth exploration and perpetual inheritance.

 Founded in 1983, Shenzhen University has grown up together with the Special Administrative Region and enjoys a reputation as one of the world's most progressive universities. Following the characteristics of the Special Administrative Region University, windowing University, and the Experimental University, its mission is to provide cultural leadership, cultural heritage, cultural innovation, and cultural outreach. The establishment of the Yu Jigao Chinese realistic painting academy of Shenzhen University aims to explore the aesthetic ideas, artistic philosophy, and cultural spirit of Chinese paintings and calligraphy. By systematically organizing the history of the development of Chinese painting and art, cultivating relevant research and creative talent, to build the Academy into a representative institute for the inheritance and innovation of Chinese painting.

 Recently, there is good news that the central authorities have decided to support Shenzhen to build an early demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which is a great benefit for the development of Shenzhen University. We all are looking forward to seeing the Institute take advantage of the east wind and set sail far away.
