Life of the characters

Gao Jianfu was born in 1879 and died in 1951 in Panyu, Guangdong Province. He is a famous painter, leader of Lingnan Painting School, founder of Lingnan Painting School and one of the founders of Lingnan Painting School. Gao Jianfu's grandfather Gao ruicai and his father Gao Baoyang are both good at medicine, martial arts and painting. Gao Jianfu has six brothers. His fourth brother and fifth brother Gao Qifeng are also good at painting. They are the pioneers of Lingnan Painting School. Gao Jianfu is a modern Chinese painter and art educator. A young man lost his father and his family was in depression. Under the influence of Uncle Zu, he had a great interest in painting. In his early years, he studied at Guangdong Shuilu normal school and Lingnan School. Later, he studied at Julian. Later, he dropped out of school because of illness. He went back to Julian to study painting, and then went to Japan to study. Through contact with Japanese painter Yamamoto Meiya and others, Gao Jianfu opened his eyes. While accepting the essence of foreign art, he secretly decided to reform traditional Chinese painting. He studied art at Tokyo Academy of fine arts for the second time. He met Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning in Tokyo and lived together. He studied Japanese and European painting. Later, he joined the white horse society, the Pacific painting society and the watercolor painting society. In 1905, Gao Jianfu joined the alliance founded by Sun Yat sen in Tokyo and was ordered to return to China to organize the Guangdong branch as president. After the 1911 Revolution, Gao Jianfu and his two younger brothers (Gao Qifeng and Gao Jiansheng) went to Japan to study painting. He took part in the revolutionary movement led by Sun Yat Sen and sun Shikai. In the early years of the Republic of China, with the financial support of Sun Yat Sen, he and his younger brother Gao Qifeng founded an aesthetic Library in Shanghai and published the truth pictorial to publicize revolutionary ideas. After Sun Yat Sen's death, he was dissatisfied with the rule of warlords and bureaucrats. Wang Jingwei, the KMT government and the puppet government, had repeatedly invited him to join the government, but they all refused him. He openly said that he would never be an official and would devote himself to the innovation and creation of Chinese painting. Before the Anti Japanese War, Gao Jianfu set up the "spring sleep painting Academy" in Guangzhou and trained many art talents. After that, he successively served as professor of traditional Chinese painting of Sun Yat sen University, Professor of Art Department of Nanjing Central University, and President of Guangzhou Municipal Art College. When Guangzhou was liberated, Gao Jianfu recuperated in Macao. In the winter of 1950, he was ready to return to China. Unfortunately, his old illness recurred. He died in Macao in June 1951 at the age of 72.

Personal life

Gao Jianfu lost his parents when he was young and his family was poor. When he was young, he was an apprentice in Uncle Zu's drugstore. His family uncle was good at painting, which made Gao Jianfu interested in painting from childhood. At the age of 14, he was introduced and studied painting with Ju Lian. Because of his intelligence and quick understanding, he made rapid progress, and was highly valued by Ju Lian. A year later, he went to study in Huangpu Naval Academy. Soon he dropped out of school because of illness and went back to study painting in Julian. At the age of 17, he transferred to Macau Zhige Academy (now the predecessor of Lingnan University) and studied sketch from French missionary Maira. Soon after, he returned to Guangzhou, where he worked as a picture teacher in Shushan primary school. He came into contact with Japanese painting from the Japanese painter Yamamoto Meiya, who was then teaching in the excellent Normal School of Guangdong and Guangxi. Through his contacts with Myra and Yamamoto, Gao Jianfu further broadened his horizons, accepted the nourishment of foreign art, and initially established his ambition and determination to reform traditional Chinese painting. Later, he went to Japan for further study. At first, he lived with Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning and made a living selling paintings. He joined the white horse society, Pacific painting society, Watercolor Society and other Japanese painting organizations to study Eastern and Western painting. He graduated from Tokyo Art School. In 1906, he took part in the League Association, served as the president of the Guangdong League Association, and actively engaged in democratic revolutionary activities. Together with Chen Shuren and Gao Qifeng, he successively established the current affairs pictorial, the truth pictorial and the aesthetic Library in Guangzhou and Shanghai to publicize revolutionary ideas, advocate aesthetic education, and promote the innovation movement of Chinese painting. In 1908, Gao Jianfu held an exhibition of "new Chinese painting" in Guangzhou for the first time. After that, he put some new things that were considered as indescribable -- cars, planes, tanks into the performance theme. This tendency, which goes against the traditional norms, naturally irritates the traditional painters who defend the purity of traditional paintings. They call Gao Jianfu and his followers "half blood" who are "neither Chinese nor Western". With the passage of time, this opposition between the old and the new finally developed into an open debate between Lingnan "new school" (also known as "eclecticism") headed by Gao Jianfu and traditional painters represented by Guangzhou traditional Chinese Painting Research Association in the middle and late 1920s. This debate has tested Gao Jianfu's innovative spirit and further strengthened his belief in pursuing new harmony in art in his new experimental work. Therefore, the Lingnan School of painting headed by Gao Jianfu began to be active in the painting world with a new look.

Characters and deeds

Guangzhou Alliance

In 1909, a new mounting shop opened in Dangan lane, aozhouwai street, Henan Province, Guangzhou. The shop was called "ShouZhen Pavilion", and there was a spring festival couplet, which had the word "muddle headed world".

Soon in the same year, a porcelain kiln named "art porcelain kiln" opened in Henan, Guangzhou, near Bao'an society. Nearby, there was a sign of "Museum chamber of Commerce", which claimed to be run by Japanese.

All this has something to do with revolution and Gao Jianfu.

"ShouZhen Pavilion" is not "muddle headed", but the head office of the Guangzhou Branch of the alliance, and the person in charge is Gao Jianfu. "Muddle headed world" is written by Gao Jianfu. It does not mean that the mounting shop is muddle headed, but it implies that the Qing government is muddled. In 1905, Gao Jianfu traveled to Japan for the second time to study fine arts. He encountered foreign art and revolutionary ideas. In 1906, Gao Jianfu joined the alliance. In 1908, he came to Guangzhou. The next year, he was the leader of the Guangzhou Branch of the alliance. Gao Jianfu went to Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao to attack the monarchy, publicize the Republic and develop his membership. The famous Chen Jiongming was introduced by Gao Jianfu.

"Art porcelain kiln" is more mysterious than "ShouZhen Pavilion". There's a kiln here, but it's not for porcelain, it's for bombs and weapons. Who is in charge of this secret organization? Or Gao Jianfu. The military and police of the Qing Dynasty were not vegetarians. They also came to search once. However, because the bombs and weapons were so cleverly hidden, the military and police returned with nothing.

Not only bombs and weapons are safe, but people are also safe. None of Gao Jianfu's revolutionary institutions has been destroyed, and none of his members has been arrested. Therefore, people in the alliance call Gao Jianfu Xiao Zhuge.

The first strike of a brave man

The revolutionaries in the late Qing Dynasty had a style of pre Qin assassins and Jing Ke. They believed that by assassinating the princes, officials and generals of the Qing Dynasty, they could destroy the Qing government and promote the revolution. Gao Jianfu was also influenced by this trend. He told Liu Sifu, a member of the alliance who had failed to assassinate the commander of Guangdong Navy, "we must set up an assassin group to concentrate our efforts on removing the obstacles to the revolution.". Thus, in 1910, the "Sina assassination * * *" was established. Liu Sifu, commander, Gao Jianfu, deputy commander. It was originally located in an apartment on Robinson road in Hong Kong. Due to the leakage of the address, it was re leased to apartment No. 23 of Moska. When the delegation was sworn in, Gao Jianfu was in the center of the conference hall. He swore his right hand: "comrades, we set up the assassination mission of the Sina, which is a goal to eradicate the * * prisoners of the Qing Dynasty and promote the democratic revolution."

On April 27, 1911, the Huanghuagang uprising led by Huang Xing broke out. Gao Jianfu personally participated in the uprising. Before the uprising, all the comrades who participated in the uprising assigned their tasks by drawing lots for life and death. Gao Jianfu drew lots for life and served as the peripheral aid and ordnance transportation. Although the catch is "life lot", Gao Jianfu is ready to die. When the uprising started, Gao Jianfu and others were in the South Gate of Guangzhou. Before his comrades arrived, Gao Jianfu forced himself into the city and was shot by the Qing army. However, Gao Jianfu was not afraid and climbed to the roof and dropped a bomb. After the bomb exploded, the Qing army shot around, Gao Jianfu injured his right foot, Panwa left the scene, disguised as a peddler and got away.

This is Gao Jianfu's first bomb for the revolution. In the later revolutionary years, he had to make bombs himself to send the Qing government another way.

Brave second and third strike

After the failure of Huanghuagang uprising, Gao Jianfu wanted to assassinate Zhang Mingqi, governor of Guangdong and Guangdong provinces, and Li Zhun, governor of Guangdong Navy, to avenge the martyrs. Together with Liang Yishen and Li Yingsheng, he sneaked into Guangzhou and used pojiling in longyandong, the eastern suburb, as a bomb test site. They live in the local Changda company and make bombs in the dense forest in the name of sketching and hunting. The bomb was successfully developed with Lin guanci, a member of the alliance, as the chief executive and Chen Jingyue as the assistant. On the morning of August 13, 1911, at the bottom of shuangmendi, Guangzhou, Lin guanci threw a bomb in a rattan tea basket into the sedan chair of Li Zhun, a passing Guangdong Navy, and hit the target. Unfortunately, Lin guancidang
