1984, Qingdao CPPCC and NLD jointly held his 80th birthday tea party to celebrate the 60th anniversary of his art education. Shandong Fine Arts Publishing House published Selected Paintings of He Baozhen. He Baozhen, a famous painter who is known as the "three elders" in Qingdao's traditional Chinese painting circle, drove a crane westward more than 20 years ago. He is famous for painting peonies in the world and is known as "He Peony". In his life, he left countless peony paintings, which taught him everywhere, and his persistence in this respect undoubtedly has a meaningful inheritance for the prevalence of peony paintings in Qingdao.
The most brilliant work handed down from generation to generation in his life is also a masterpiece that has been told by people so far. Is 1959 for the Shandong Hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, a huge Chinese painting "Full House Red" with peony as the theme. 1982 CCTV broadcast a feature film about He Baozhen, which further spread his reputation in a popular form. He summed up the "five-combination painting method" of peony with decades of artistic practice, that is, "the painting method of combining ancient and modern, combining Chinese and western, combining painting and writing, and combining colored ink with subjective and objective". In art teaching, he compiled dozens of lectures on traditional Chinese painting and drew such teaching materials as Peony Spectrum, Chrysanthemum Spectrum and Zhezhai Stone Spectrum, which left valuable artistic wealth for future generations.
He Baozhen 1904 was born in a family of painting artists in Wei County. His father, He Mingru, is good at carpentry and is proficient in large buildings, furniture, small utensils, sculpture, painting and painting. Most of the famous wooden archways in Wei County were designed for them.
He Baozhen was influenced by his family since childhood and loved painting art since childhood. Because of the war between warlords, he dropped out of primary school to make a living. At first, I was a student in wei county and worked as a waiter in the student sales department. I often study painting hard in my spare time. I began to learn western painting, and then Chinese painting. After 19 19, new culture and new ideas spread to wei county. 15-year-old He Baozhen, influenced by the May 4th Movement, organized a society with Guo Lancun and Fu, studied Chinese painting, and published two issues of One Society Pictorial, which was praised as a "young painter". 192 1 year participated in the correspondence study of Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, and began to study traditional painting comprehensively and systematically, under the guidance of famous painters Ding Dongzhai and Liu in the county. 1924 He Baozhen came to Qingdao and became an art teacher in Qingdao model primary school. 1926 joined the Chinese painting research group "Shaohai Painting and Calligraphy Society". 1928 held a solo exhibition in Qingdao. At that time, rural primary education needed a multi-functional teacher. He Baozhen knows both art and music, so it should be 1930 to hire Gaomi primary school teachers. After teaching, he insisted on painting and participated in the joint exhibition of Chinese painting held by Guo Weiqu, a famous national painter. 1937 teaches in Qingdao municipal middle school as an art and music teacher. At this time, he created a figure painting "Refugee Map", which was well received after being exhibited in the guesthouse.

He has successively created paintings such as The New Appearance of Laoshan Mountain, Travel Notes of Mount Tai, Tide of Qiantang River and Feilaishi. , and participated in many provincial and municipal art exhibitions.
Journalists who can leave their seals in the painting world are mostly painters with innovative spirit and unique artistic vocabulary. In their works, no matter the absorption of culture, artistic thinking, or the tempering of pen and ink, the expression techniques are different from previous creations, and so is He Baozhen. In order to paint peonies well, he went to Heze, the hometown of peonies, to sketch many times. The peony in his works has won a good reputation for being gorgeous but not metallurgical, beautiful but not vulgar, and changeable. Li Kuchan and Wang Xuetao praised: "Mr. Zhen Bao's works are profound in skill, ingenious in conception, rigorous in layout, far-reaching in artistic conception and exquisite and unique in brushwork." These praises laid a solid and heavy foundation for him to join the China Artists Association as early as 1963. Mr. He Baozhen spent 83 years in this world and experienced the history from the May 4th New Culture Movement to the Cultural Revolution. The poems written by Mr. Lu Huan on the occasion of He Baozhen's eightieth birthday are the best interpretation of his life: the laughter and laughter of his eightieth birthday, the ups and downs of the old and new society, the spirit of hard work, the courage to be willing to worry, the poetry of celebrating the prosperous times, and the sound of paper and inkstone recording the New Year. With the gift of Changhong crayons, you should leave your passion in the world.
What is noteworthy about this poem is He Baozhen's insistence on "integrity". Wang Wenbin, an oil painter who is a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, wrote in his memoirs that Mr. He Baozhen, who is good at melody, changed the classical musician Henderson's tune into a chorus "I Love China" when the Japanese army occupied Qingdao. At the annual concert of middle school students. When singing this shocking and powerful ode to the Chinese nation, it won applause and cheers from the audience.
It's like "painting as a person." The warmth in He Baozhen's works also proves his gentleness as a man, just like the spring breeze, with an unforgettable warmth. Xu Lizhong, a famous sculptor, recalled his teacher like this: "The Cultural Revolution storm came, and I was turned into a" current counter-revolution "because of the deviant Taixi Art Exhibition, and I suffered a lot and suffered humiliation.
1978, Mr. He put forward a general proposal on the case of "Taixi Art Exhibition" at the Qingdao Conference, which was signed by 12 painting members. This proposal attracted the attention of Dong Haishan, then Minister of Propaganda. Dong Haishan's speech at the implementation meeting of the CPPCC proposal played a great role in the rapid implementation of the case of "Taixi Art Exhibition" and my rehabilitation. "Xu Lizhong said that Mr. He is a gentle man, and his gentleness sometimes makes people feel a little too much, almost docile. 1978, how brave he needs to be the first to stand up and speak for his students when it's warm and cold and people are worried! He is a real artist, his heart is full of sincerity and kindness, and he is a brave man.
