Chapter 209 Academy of Fine Arts, Caodong Sect and Extra Large Order

Li Xiaofan guessed that it must be Xinyi who came!

He got out of bed and opened the door. Outside the door was a strange young woman, tall and wearing a pink deep V sexy suspender skirt, smiling at him. The woman looked a little heavy in makeup.

"Who are you looking for? Did you knock on the wrong door?" Li Xiaofan asked curiously.

"Yes!" The woman teased: "Handsome guy, do you need to chat with you tonight, or massage or other services?"

Oh, it turned out to be a prostitute, "Thank you, no!" Li Xiaofan quickly closed the door.

Just after closing the door, the phone in the room rang again.

Li Xiaofan felt a little annoyed. This harassment was really severe. He answered the phone in a bad mood: "Hello, what's up!"

Xinyi's delicate voice came from the phone, and she said angrily: "It's me, dear, why are you so fierce?"

"Just now a strange girl knocked on the door. I thought it was you, but it turned out to be a prostitute. I thought this call was from them again..."

"Haha, dear, have you taken a shower?"

"Well, how about you?"

"I've taken a shower, and it smells good. I want to come to your place, can I?"

"Your father and eldest brother and sister-in-law are in the room next to you. Be careful, don't let them see you coming to our place!"

"It's so late, they are all asleep, who will take care of me!"

"Then come quickly!"

Two minutes later, Tang Xinyi, wearing a windbreaker over her sexy pajamas, slipped into Li Xiaofan's room.

On this romantic night by the beautiful West Lake, the two of them tossed and turned several times until they were exhausted...

The next morning, after the alarm clock woke them up at six o'clock, the two of them lingered gently again, and Tang Xinyi reluctantly sneaked back to her room.

After breakfast at 8:30 in the morning, Li Xiaofan accompanied the old man and his friends to pay a courtesy visit to the head of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of Zhijiang Province.

The Overseas Chinese Affairs Offices across the country are the main institutions serving many overseas Chinese and are the mother-in-law of overseas Chinese. Li Xiaofan had already faxed the introduction of Nanyang Tang Group to the Liaison Office of the Provincial Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. The head of the Provincial Overseas Chinese Affairs Office attached great importance to it. A deputy director in charge of overseas liaison work personally met with Mr. Tang and his party.

After the brief meeting, Deputy Director Wang of the Liaison Office of the Provincial Overseas Chinese Affairs Office accompanied Mr. Tang and his party to visit the China Academy of Art on Nanshan Road by the West Lake.

After entering the picturesque campus of the China Academy of Art by the West Lake, the strong sense of history and artistic atmosphere deeply attracted Tang Xinyi and others.

Director Qiu of the Foreign Affairs Office (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office) of the China Academy of Art received Mr. Tang and his party.

Director Qiu introduced that the China Academy of Art has a long history and was founded in 1928. The great educator at that time, Mr. Cai Yuanpei, personally selected the site on the bank of West Lake in Hangzhou and founded the "National Academy of Arts", China's first comprehensive national higher art institution. At the beginning of the establishment of the National Academy of Arts, the first president Lin Fengmian advocated the school's purpose of "introducing Western art, organizing Chinese art, reconciling Chinese and Western art, and creating contemporary art."

After liberation, it was renamed the East China Branch of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. In 1993, with the approval of the State Education Commission and the Ministry of Culture, the school was officially renamed the "China Academy of Art"...

After a brief exchange, Director Qiu accompanied everyone to visit the International Education College (International Training Center) of the China Academy of Art after hearing the purpose of the visit.

The leaders of the International Education College introduced that their International Education College (International Training Center) has been recruiting foreign and overseas students since 1980. The college now has four teaching studios, including Chinese painting, calligraphy, Chinese cultural studies, and Chinese language, recruiting international students majoring in oil painting, printmaking, sculpture, art history, design, etc. There are nearly 100 overseas students.

All students from outside mainland China are divided into foreign students, overseas Chinese students, and students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan according to their identities. Tang Xinyi can be identified as an overseas Chinese student.

All overseas candidates can study academic and non-academic courses at the International Education College of China Academy of Art and other colleges and departments of China Academy of Art.

All courses open to overseas students at China Academy of Art can be divided into academic courses, non-academic long-term courses, non-academic short-term courses, and non-academic short-term Chinese cultural tours.

The International Education College is responsible for the registration, daily life, entry and exit, etc. of all foreign students, overseas Chinese students, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan students, but their admission and academic management are the same as those of domestic students, and are the responsibility of the headquarters and the colleges and departments.

If you apply for a master's degree in an overseas examination, the application time is around November of the previous year, and admission is in September of the current year. Overseas Chinese students and students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan like Tang Xinyi, in addition to professional examinations, must also take the National Cultural Examination for Overseas Chinese Students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Only those who pass the examination can be admitted...

In this way, Tang Xinyi has missed the application time for master's degree this year.

However, the International Education College can provide non-academic courses, which are divided into long-term professional courses, short-term professional courses and short-term Chinese cultural tours. And if you choose non-academic students, there is no entrance examination. After completing the advanced study, the International Education College will issue a certificate of advanced study.

After understanding, Tang Xinyi initially wanted to take non-academic Chinese painting courses first. The Chinese painting course is divided into three parts for teaching: flowers and birds, landscapes and figures...

At the same time, she can also choose rich elective courses in the China Academy of Art, such as Chinese art history, film appreciation, modern and contemporary literary works, calligraphy, landscape painting, flower and bird painting, poetry, Tai Chi, Chinese music appreciation, medical health care and other courses.

…

During the morning trip to the China Academy of Art, Mr. Tang and others were very satisfied with this top Chinese art academy with a long history, especially Fujiwara Kyoko.

Historically, since the Tang and Song dynasties, China and Japan have had frequent exchanges, and Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy have had a great influence on Japan.

For example, the famous Japanese painter Sesshū visited China by ship during the Ming Dynasty, traveled to famous mountains and rivers, and did a lot of sketching. After returning to Japan, he specialized in creating ink landscape paintings. His representative works "Four Seasons Landscape Scroll" and "Amanohashi Rising" injected national feelings into the form of Chinese landscape painting, and used soft national feelings to express the real landscape of Japan in a friendly and moving way, creating ink paintings with Japanese characteristics: Han paintings.

Fujiwara Kyoko is a fan of Sesshū. When she was studying in Tokyo, she studied Japanese ink painting for a while and copied many of Sesshū's works.

After two days of playing in Hangzhou, the group went to Li Xiaofan's hometown Mingzhou on the third day.

This itinerary was arranged entirely for Fujiwara Kyoko, because Fujiwara Kyoko is a believer of the Japanese Soto Sect.

The "Tentong Temple" in Mingzhou is the ancestral temple of the "Saoto Sect", one of the three major sects of Japanese Buddhism. It is a Buddhist holy place that many Japanese Buddhists yearn for. Every year, many Japanese tourists come to the "Tentong Temple" in Mingzhou for pilgrimage and worship.

After arriving in Mingzhou, Li Xiaofan accompanied Fujiwara Kyoko and Mr. Tang to visit the Tentong Temple.

Tentong Temple is located at the foot of Taibai Mountain, 25 kilometers east of the suburbs of Mingzhou. It was built in the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty. It is one of the five famous temples of Zen Buddhism and is known as the "Southeast Buddhist Kingdom".

The temple is located at the foot of the Taibai Mountain, which is surrounded by mountains and peaks. "The peaks embrace a temple, and a temple suppresses the peaks." There are six peaks in the east, west and north, and it is backed by the towering main peak Taibai Peak, which is very majestic.

The only thing about Tiantong Temple is the vast sky and distant mountains in the south. There is a lush and verdant Wansong Avenue to welcome guests to the mountain.

On the way to the Wansong Avenue, Li Xiaofan introduced to Fujiwara Kyoko: During the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese painter Sesshū stayed in Mingzhou for about a year, leaving footprints everywhere. During this year, he not only made close friends with the literati and officials in Mingzhou, but also won the honor of "the first seat of the Zen class of Tiantong Temple" (the first seat of the Zen hall) at Tiantong Temple in Taibai Mountain, one of the five Zen mountains. This was the title given to Sesshū by the 72nd abbot of Tiantong Temple and the Zen master Wuchuan...

After listening to Li Xiaofan's introduction, Fujiwara Kyoko admired Tiantong Temple even more, and coming to the ancestral temple of Caodong Sect to pay homage was also considered to have fulfilled one of her wishes.

…

After paying homage to Tiantong Temple and staying in Mingzhou for a short time, Mr. Tang and his party flew to Beijing for sightseeing the next day.

Li Xiaofan did not accompany them, as he had many things to deal with.

After seeing off Mr. Tang and his party at Lishe Airport, he and Wu Xiumei returned to the office of "Minzhou Yifan Industry and Trade Company" in Yuehu International Trade Building.

He turned on the computer, dialed up to the Internet, and entered his email mailbox at Singtel.

After opening the first email from Mike of the American Arco Department Store, he jumped up excitedly and slammed the desk hard.

"Mr. Li, what's the matter?" Wu Xiumei and assistant Chen Yajun asked curiously.

Li Xiaofan happily pointed at the computer screen in front of him and laughed loudly: "Great news! Come and see, a huge order from the United States has arrived!"
