Re-Ascending the Great Wall of China - Master Yun's Opening Speech

Master Yun created two “firsts” on the Great Wall of China. In December 2020, amidst the global pandemic's gloom, Master Yun held a unique art exhibition on this ancient world wonder, marking the first-ever painting exhibition on the Great Wall. Three years later, on 19 October 2023, with autumn in full swing, Master Yun once again met the world on the Simatai section of the Great Wall, this time with a calligraphy art form, marking another “first” – the first calligraphy exhibition in the 3500-year history of the Great Wall.

During the opening ceremony of the fengshui calligraphy exhibition, Master Yun, in his speech, used the profundity of Chinese characters as a starting point to explore the fundamental differences between calligraphy and painting. The pictographic nature of Chinese characters endows calligraphy with a deeper meaning. It is not only a visual art but also a representation of time-based art. Calligraphy works must be created in sequence and appreciated in a certain order, much like an irreversible performance.
 
In Master Yun's eyes, “the first time” is not just a moment; it represents innovation and creativity, the inheritance and rejuvenation of history. Holding an art exhibition on the Great Wall, an ancient military defence structure, Master Yun advocates for a cultural revival, infusing this “Yellow Dragon” with new vitality and transforming it into a bridge for global artistic and cultural exchange.



At Master Yun's calligraphy exhibition, all 69 works featured the characters for dragon and phoenix, not just for their symbolic meanings in fengshui. In Master Yun's view, the dragon and the phoenix represent extraordinary human spirit – the pursuit of excellence, courage, strength, great benevolence and love. Under his brush, the dragon and phoenix are not just mythical creatures in Chinese culture but symbols of leadership and hope.
 
It is this spirit of the dragon and phoenix that ensures that no matter how deep the night, no threat or destruction can bring us down. The light of hope and the joy of victory will repeatedly dispel the darkness and usher in the light, guided by the dragon and phoenix.
 
In Master Yun's blessings, we not only feel an artist's wishes for a beautiful life but also a powerful force – the positive energy of heaven, earth, and humanity, and the inner strength of the dragon and phoenix. With his art and wisdom, Master Yun continues the cultural legend on the Great Wall, a land that has witnessed history.
 
And when Master Yun concluded his speech with 'À votre santé' (a toast in French), it was undoubtedly a toast to all fellow pursuers of art, culture, and excellence – a toast to victory.

The Value of Art - Quality

How do the experts at Sotheby's define quality? Is it assessed by intuition or calculated through a formula? The method of appraising art varies with its category. Some artworks are evaluated based on craftsmanship, while others are judged on technical innovation or their ability to withstand the test of time.

Ian Kelleher of Sotheby's Auction House believes that all three points mentioned above are likely key to assessing quality.

 

He gives an example: The engine produced by Ferrari in 1929 is a spectacular demonstration just from its appearance. A beautiful Alfa Romeo 230 to 290, these cars were manufactured in the mid-1920s and endured races for up to 15 years after production. You wouldn't consider it just a racing car. What you see is a vehicle with about 180 horsepower that can exceed 100 miles per hour, a quality that can last a lifetime, and these cars are rarely resold.

 

Other experts also expressed their views:

 

Quality is the inherent merit of a piece of art.

 

Sometimes quality is just the skill of the artist.

 

Quality is the technical innovation in the work.

 

Can you take a closer look? Does it withstand scrutiny?

 

It's a special piece of art, a unique piece of art, an irreplaceable piece of art.

 

Quality might be something very simple, like a line, the way a person's back is drawn, or the thick texture on the surface of an oil painting.

 

A truly timeless work may be due to its evergreen beauty.

 

To practice fengshui, one must use the best quality, which has been one of Master Yun's principles since the establishment of Lotus on Water.


Julian Dawes, the co-head of Impressionist and Modern Art at Sotheby's New York, says that collectors and experts have seen many masterpieces. When they see different artworks, I mean very special artworks, that's when the true value of the artwork really takes off. But I think for us, and perhaps for collectors, quality is an intuitive feeling, perhaps the most subjective criterion of assessment.

 

Even facing such subjective criteria, I believe that placing Master Yun's fengshui art before you, you wouldn't question its quality. The golden visual effect, the shimmering brilliant colours, whether day or night, Master Yun's fengshui art always gives a sense of rich and elegant celebration. This 'expensive' quality impression is not an illusion but built up by Master Yun using top-quality materials, genuinely rich and elegant.

 

From Dongba paper, real gold and silver, products from Chinese pigment master Qiu Qingnian, gamboge gifted by the Cambodian royal family, Laurent-Perrier champagne, to specially made silk, etc., which one isn't a guarantee of quality? Which one isn't of the highest quality level? You already have a clear answer in your mind.

 

Master Yun says that to practice fengshui, one must use the best quality, which has been one of his principles since he founded Lotus on Water.

The Value of Art - Medium

Simon Stock, an expert in Impressionist and Modern Art at Sotheby's, says that when they evaluate a piece of art, they must understand the medium used to create it. 

Sotheby's also admits that their experts always check the medium of the artwork before appraising it. Although materials often have an unwritten hierarchy, such as canvases for oil paintings and marble for sculptures, some artists' ideas might be better expressed in other ways, like pastel drawings on paper.

 

Experts also believe that more and more artists are using creative and innovative media for painting, and the medium is an ever-changing factor. Different mediums are used in different parts of the world at different times. You can paint on canvas, on various metals, on stone, and almost any material.

 

Yessica Marks, the head of European Prints at Sotheby's, cites that in printmaking, common major techniques include lithography, screen printing, and intaglio, each producing completely different effects. Therefore, it ultimately depends on the effect the artist wants to achieve, such as Marc Chagall using lithography for his fluid brushstrokes.


Master Yun's fengshui art is both diverse and subversive in its choice of medium

Some artists' ideas actually translate better in other media, which is why Jean-Michel Basquiat's works on paper and on canvas are equally outstanding, and this is reflected in the prices of his works.

 

Julian Dawes, the co-head of Impressionist and Modern Art at Sotheby's New York, says there's a certain connection between sketches and works on paper, which you might think are conceived for oil paintings. For some artists, this is true, but for many, it's not. Edgar Degas is a perfect example, especially when using pastels and charcoal on paper, which is why Degas' works stand out.

 

He says that Degas' dynamics presented in pastels on paper are often better than those in oil, making them more valuable. People also realise that this is Degas' strength.

 

When I watched this episode, I felt that if all the examples the experts mentioned were replaced with Master Yun's fengshui art, there would be no sense of inconsistency.

 

Master Yun's fengshui art is both diverse and subversive in its choice of medium. Whether it's on millennia-enduring Dongba paper or on specially designed silk by French haute couture designer Eric Raisina, Master Yun's layering of champagne splashes, organic pigments, real gold and silver, acrylic paints, etc., is like a grand celebration of art, vividly displaying the spirit of celebration.

 

Just as Degas' quick sketches are more valuable than his oil paintings due to their unique presence, Master Yun's fengshui art also meets this criterion of value, even surpassing it.

 

It's not hard to understand why the medium becomes a focus in art appraisal. What surprises will the artist bring through the creativity of the medium? And will this surprise stand the test of time? And this test is not only physical but also metaphysical.

 

Master Yun's fengshui art creates multidimensional art through the use of rich mediums. Different angles, different times, different places, different people will see different images. This is also the most fascinating aspect of fengshui art.

The Value of Art - Subject Matter

Michael Macaulay, the head of Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening Auction in New York, says that the greatness of contemporary art lies in its ability to challenge, and collectors are willing to “embrace” the “challenges” posed by artists. When I talk to people in life who don't like contemporary art, what they're really saying is that they just don't like the subjects of contemporary art.
 
When I heard this, I didn't quite understand the scope of contemporary art, but I'm willing to interpret the challenges referred to by Michael Macaulay as a dialogue between the content of the works and the times, which could be narratives, discourses, satire, or even protest. And collectors are happy to pay for these “stances”.
 
In contrast to this view, the example cited by Long Meixian, the vice-chairman of Sotheby's Chinese Art Department, is more pertinent to our main point of discussion. He says that Chinese people like peaches because they symbolize longevity, or some kind of fruit with many seeds, symbolising many descendants.
 
Qiu Guoshi, the international head of Sotheby's Chinese Art Department, says nothing beats the design of the dragon. It's a symbol of the emperor, a symbol of power, and it immediately gives off a high-end impression.
 
Master Yun's fengshui art’s theme is celebrationism.

The video actually mentioned many examples of Western art, which I won't list one by one, but these Western arts almost all have one thing in common: they are very critical. This is what I understand as the “challenge” referred to by Michael Macaulay. Compared to the examples of Chinese art mentioned in the video, the artistic view of the Chinese society seems to lean more towards beauty, even aspiring to a beautiful life.
 
Master Yun, in his discussion with his students about General History of China, mentioned that a nation's narrative method can affect the entire nation's way of thinking. For example, in the ancient flood event, the Chinese narrative is the very motivational Great Yu Controls the Waters, while the Western narrative often sees it as a punishment from heaven.
 
Therefore, in dealing with problems, the West tends to look for a “culprit” first, while Asian societies, especially China, focus more on exploring solutions. This contrast is also subtly shown in art, with the West's criticism contrasting strongly with the East's aspiration towards beauty.
 
Master Yun's fengshui art theme is not just aspiring towards beauty but also celebrating all the good in your life
 
What, then, is the theme of Master Yun's fengshui art? Many people would immediately answer “fengshui”.
 
It's not wrong to say fengshui, but personally, I think celebrationism is a more fitting theme for fengshui art. Why do I say this? I've introduced before that the core spirit of Master Yun's fengshui art is celebratory because all the good things in life are worth celebrating. Therefore, the aura exuded by fengshui art is one of anticipation, exhilaration, and joy.
 
Thus, the theme of Master Yun's fengshui art is not only aspiring towards beauty but also celebrating all the good in your life.

The Value of Art – Fashion

Contemporary art expert Meredith Kirk cites a great painting created by Andy Warhol in 1963, akin to a Chanel suit, as being timeless.

Experts at Sotheby's say that some works transcend their era; some quickly fall out of favour, while others may take a generation to be appreciated. Everyone tries to bet on who will emerge next, but how can you know?

 

Not long ago, dynamic pictures of sports, like those of dogs, horses, and hunting scenes, were very popular, but they have since cooled off. However, the horse paintings by equestrian artist George Stubbs remain in demand because Stubbs is a great artist.

 

Fashion is important to experts at Sotheby's, so they follow it closely, as the art market has a place for trends and fashion, as well as for works that stand the test of time.

 

When we talk about fashion, many people initially think it's only about dressing up or seeking attention, but in art, fashion, as I've understood from my years of interviewing, is easier to comprehend if interpreted as “trend”. However, since trend isn't the entirety of fashion, this episode will be divided into two parts.


Master Yun's fengshui art leads today's fengshui trend. This isn't self-praise but a fact.


The first part is about the trends in fashion, meaning the more variable tendencies of the wind, like the popularity of surrealism in this era. Works in this style command better prices due to their market value, making this type of fashion more understandable.

 

The second part is about fashion where the artist or artwork is the source of fashion, like Chanel's classic suit, timeless since its design in 1950. This is also a characteristic of Master Yun's fengshui art.

 

In a world of black and white calligraphy and painting, the colourful fengshui art is a breath of fresh air. As mentioned before, Master Yun's fengshui art has a high degree of recognizability. Its unique presentation reminds one of Master Yun, and its intriguing nature withstands long periods of contemplation, often revealing surprises, thus remaining timeless.

 

Therefore, I say, Master Yun's fengshui art leads today's fengshui trend, not out of self-praise, but as a matter of fact.

中国国家博物馆首任馆⻓潘震宙老师2023年10月万里长城风水书法展欢迎晚宴,皇家菜博物馆,致辞

尊敬的刘司令员、许院长、孙部长。尊敬的焕主席、翟书记、各位领导、各位朋友、还有来自世界各地的贵宾和朋友们。

我首先要祝贺云龙子先生的长城书法展即将开幕。同时要深切的感谢我们今天晚宴的主办方邀请我来参加这么一个充满了友谊欢庆温馨的氛围的这么一个晚宴。这个地方我以前来过,但是今天晚上的晚宴,我觉得是最有文化的氛围最有艺术的氛围。

而且今天到场的不但有我们现在的各位嘉宾,还有穿越了300年清代的王公贵族,穿越了600年的明代的皇后公主。她们特别是我们的女士们,她们经过了这里的工作人员的精心的打扮化妆,一个个雍容华贵,非常地端庄美丽,跟我们今天晚宴的主题氛围非常地吻。 

云龙子大师长城书法展,按我个人的看法其实既是书法展也是画展。他的作品,书法和绘画是容为一体的,所以既是书法展我认为也是画展。我在国外看到过很多具象和抽象象结合的美术作品,就是像你这样用我们中国文化中国文字作为构图的元素,表达我们中华文化的博大精神,我看到过这样的作品。

那么云龙子先生是来自新加坡的一位华裔的艺术家。他在新加坡出生长大,但是他作为华裔。在他的血脉当中流淌我们中华文化的血脉,他的身上有着中华文化的基因,所以他的作品里面,他的内核他是追求欢庆主义。我非常赞成你。我们美术作品书法作品就是要给人以正能量,给人积极欢快的一种情绪的感染。

我刚才在会场外面看了他几件作品。每一件作品里面都有一个家,比如说诗礼传家、余庆自家。每一个作品里都是表中国文化的元素,但是呢都离不开家,一种家国的情怀,非常地浓烈非常地鲜明非常地深厚,所以我非常喜欢你的作品。 

但是云龙子先生他毕竟不是在中国长大,他是在新加坡长大。因此他的创作里面一定是吸收了西方油画的,一些笔法构图表现的技巧等等。是一种东方文化和西方文化融合的产物一种作品。

我个人的感觉他是融合了东方文化西方文化,然后称为云龙子先生的自己的创作。所以他的创作很难模仿很难学,就是他独特的风格独特的表现方法。我们的艺术家就是要具有这样的独创性,不可模仿不可重复,这就是你的作品的价值。

我觉得今天我们在这里一起参加云龙子先生的书法艺术展览的欢迎晚宴。一个云龙子先生一种文化上的认祖归宗、追根溯源。他是我说他的血脉里流淌着中华文化的血脉。

今天把他的作品拿到咱们北京来,拿到长城去展出,这是一种文化上的回归。作为中国的一位文化人士我非常赞同你这个做法。这是一层意义。

第二层意义,我觉得云龙子先生的书画展览,因为他是在新加坡,我们有许许多多的海外的侨胞,他们除了自己的工作以外,还肩负着传播中华文化的重任,肩负着推动中外文化交流。就是中国和其他国家之间文化交流的重任,叫交流互鉴,共同来促进人类现代文明的进步和发展。我觉得云龙子先生的书画展览,你的工作你的事业你的成功之处,在这方面显示了独特的价值和意义。

刚刚中国新加坡建交33周年刚刚过去,那么一带一路的倡议是10周年。这个我们一带一路的倡议,不管是经济贸易方面的合作,也是文化上面的交流合作。我想云龙子先生在这一方面,未来可以做更多的工作取得更大的成就,到时候我们为你来欢庆你的理念就是欢庆。

我衷心地预祝我们今天的晚宴,在座的每一位贵宾朋友,都非常地开心、非常地健康。为我们的友好,为我们的艺术的繁荣,为我们文明的进步,来一起来举杯。

祝晚宴取得圆满成功。谢谢大家。

First Director of the China National Museum Mr. Pan Zhenzhou’s 2023 October Great Wall Fengshui Calligraphy Exhibition Welcome Banquet Speech at Imperial Cuisine Museum

Commander Liu, Mr Xu, Minister Sun, Chairman Huan and Secretary Zhai, distinguished leaders and friends, Master Yun Long Zi, and esteemed guests and friends from around the world.

First, I would like to congratulate Master Yun Long Zi on the upcoming launch of his Great Wall exhibition. I also deeply appreciate the organisers of tonight's dinner for inviting me to attend such a warm and friendly event. I have been here before, but I feel tonight's dinner has the most cultural and artistic atmosphere.

Not only do we have our current guests, but also nobles from the Qing dynasty 300 years ago and, empresses and princesses from the Ming dynasty 600 years ago. Especially our ladies, who have been meticulously dressed and made up by the staff, looking dignified, elegant, and beautiful, perfectly matching the theme of tonight's dinner.

Master Yun Long Zi’s Great Wall fengshui calligraphy exhibition, in my opinion, is both a calligraphy and art exhibition. His work integrates calligraphy and painting, so it is both a calligraphy and art exhibition. Abroad, I've seen many artworks, combining figurative and abstract elements, using Chinese culture and charactersto express the profound spirit of Chinese culture, I have seen such works.

Master Yun is a Chinese artist from Singapore. He grew up in Singapore, but as a Chinese, Chinese culture flows in his veins and his works carry the DNA of Chinese culture. Therefore, in his works, he pursues the theme of Celebrationism. I agree with you that our art and calligraphy should bring positive energy and evoke happy emotions.

I saw several of his works outside, each representing elements of Chinese culture, but always revolving around the concept of home, reflecting a deep, vivid concern for the country and home. I really like your work.

But Master Yun did not grow up in China, he grew up in Singapore. His creations inevitably took on some Western techniques, such as certain painting methods and compositional skills, resulting in a fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. 

I personally feel that he has blended these cultures, resulting in his own unique creations, making his work difficult to imitate or learn, as it's characterised by his unique style and expression. Artists should have this uniqueness. This originality and uniqueness are what make an artist's work valuable.

Today, we gather here to attend Master Yun’s exhibition’s welcome dinner. This exhibition has dual significance. The first is Master Yun’s cultural return to his roots as he carries the DNA of Chinese culture in his blood, the DNA of Chinese culture.

Bringing his works to Beijing and displaying them at the Great Wall is a return to this cultural heritage. As a Chinese culturati, I highly commend this. This is the first significance.

The second significance lies in Master Yun’s calligraphy exhibition. Because he is in Singapore. many overseas Chinese, in addition to their work, they bear the responsibility of spreading Chinese culture and promoting cultural exchange between China and other countries. This cultural exchange between China and other countries is called mutual learning. It contributes to the progress of human civilisation. I think Master Yun’s exhibition, your success in your career and endeavour, demonstrates unique value and significance.

The 33rd anniversary of Sino-Singapore relations just passed, and it’s the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. The Belt and Road Initiative encompasses not only economic and trade cooperation, but also cultural exchange. In this regard, I believe Master Yun can achieve even greater accomplishments in the future. We will celebrate you when that happens as your philosophy is Celebrationism. 

I heartily wish that tonight's dinner will be joyful and healthy for all our distinguished guests and friends. To our friendship, to the prosperity of our arts, to the progress of our civilisation.

Let's toast to the success of tonight's dinner. Thank you.

Master Yun Long Zi’s 2023 October Great Wall Fengshui Calligraphy Exhibition Welcome Banquet Address at Imperial Cuisine Museum

You have arrived from thousands of miles away, from different parts of the world, to attend my feng shui calligraphy exhibition. My heart is moved with gratitude. And I shall cherish this moment of great souvenirs with you, for a long long time. 

I shall say Beijing welcomes you.  

I would also like to, on behalf of my friends from 13 different countries, to express our deepest gratitude to the Chinese people, especially the Chinese leaders. 

We love Beijing very much. We love China very much. 

Tonight is a welcome imperial banquet, as well as a calligraphy exhibition. In this Imperial Cuisine Museum, I have exhibited 21 pieces of feng shui calligraphy. 

All these 21 calligraphy exhibited pieces has a common trait. Every piece has a word “family”. 

The way we Chinese coin our words is very interesting. With people who have blood relation with us, we call them “own-family”. With people without blood relation, we call them the “big-family”. 

4000 over years ago, there was a great hero born in China. His name was “Da Yu”. His greatest merit was to manage the “Yellow River”.

We people from the Southeast Asia know there is a “Mekong River”. The Mekong River came from China. But inside China, this river is called “Lan Cang”, and when the river flows out of China, it is called “Mekong”.

The Mekong River passes through the province of Qing Hai, and the province of Yunnan in China, and flows out to Myamar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, six countries altogether before it arrives the sea.

Mekong River is but 4350 miles while the Yellow River is 5465 miles, much longer than the Mekong. We can imagine, to manage the Yellow River, it would involve much more people and races than Mekong. This is an extraordinary task. That’s why “Da Yu” was a great hero.

To treat the Yellow River requires not only capability but also virtue. The history recorded the incident that Da Yu passed by his own house for three times but never entered. What does it mean? It means he never sacrifice the “big-family” for the benefit of his “own-family”. And when necessary, he would sacrifice the benefit of his “own-family” for the “big-family”.

From four thousand years ago, this virtue of “treating the world as one’s huge family” has been implanted into the cultural DNA of the Chinese descendants”.

This evening, at Beijing, we call here the feet of the emperor. We bring you the imperial cuisine. We ask of you to wear the palace costume. And we invite you to take photos with my feng shui calligraphy. And most importantly, to wish you bring to your families, the force of the emperors, the blessings of prosperity, good health and universal love.


云龙子大师2023年10月万里长城风水书法展欢迎晚宴,皇家菜博物馆,致辞

你们千里迢迢,从全球各地,飞到北京,参加我的风水书法展。我十分感动,十分感激,也会永远铭记于心。北京欢迎您! 

我在这里也代表这十二个国家的朋友,对中国人民,特别是中国的领导,表示万分的感谢!我们非常喜欢北京!我们非常喜欢中国。

今天晚上是𠆤欢迎晚宴,也是个书法展。我在这御仙都,皇家菜博物馆展览了21幅风水书法。

这21幅风水书法都有一个共同点。每一幅都有个“家”字。

中国话非常有意思。有血缘关系的人,我们叫“自家”。没有血缘关系的人,我们叫“大家”。

四千多年前,有个中国的英雄,名字叫“大禹”。他的功劳是治黄河的水。

我们东南亚的人,都知道有一个“湄公河”,源自“澜沧江”。这条河在中国境内叫“澜沧”,在中国境外叫“湄公”。

湄公河经过中国的青海省、云南省、缅甸、老挝、泰国、柬埔寨和越南6个国家才流入大海。

湄公河4350公里,而黄河5465公里,比湄公河长很多。我们可以想象,要治理黄河的水,涉及的人数和民族,比湄公河肯定多出很多。这是件极不容易的事。所以“大禹治水”的“大禹”是个了不起的英雄。

大禹治水靠的不只是才干,还得有“道德”。我们很熟悉大禹“三过家门而不入”。意思是什么?意思是:不会为了“自家”的利益委曲了“大家”。必要的时候会为了“大家”而委屈自家。

从四千多年前开始,这种“家天下”的道德与情操,就被大禹种在我们炎黄子孙的文化基因里头了。

今晩在天子脚下的北京,请大家吃着皇家菜,让大家穿着帝皇的服装,请大家与我的风水书法合影,把皇气、财气、福气带回大家的家里去。让大家的家里人丁兴旺,富贵荣华,福瑞绵延。
