Han paintings are eye-catching for their rich and diverse visual images. They are "illustrated" historical materials of the Han Dynasty, known as epic poems on stones. Xuzhou is "the enclave of the ancient dragon and the hometown of a generation of emperors". It is the birthplace of the Han culture and the carrier of the inheritance of the two Han cultures. There are more than 70 stone tombs of portraits that have been scientifically excavated here, and there are more than 1600 stone reliefs of Han paintings in the collection of Xuzhou Museum of Stone reliefs of Han Paintings. Today, more and more people in Xuzhou begin to pay attention to Han paintings, go into them, understand them, and promote them. What is the charm of Han painting?

The design of the Han Dynasty portrait reflects the cosmological view of "heaven, earth and man" in ancient China; It is an encyclopedia that represents the life of the Han Dynasty, covering historical stories, myths and legends, laws and regulations, customs and customs, etc., and is the first-hand material to prove history with pictures; The Han portraits reflect the national spirit of the Chinese people, the unity of nature and man, the law of nature, respect for etiquette and education, benevolence for beauty, loyalty and filial piety. The art of Han portraits, with the stories of Han paintings as the main body, reflects the ethics of the Chinese culture at that time, which was "evil to warn the world and good to show the future". The portraits of the Han Dynasty also show the Chinese people's awareness of life and the ideal of eternal life. Therefore, Han painting has become the representative symbol of the art of the two Han dynasties, with its profound content and colorful pictures and eternal charm. Xuzhou Han Dynasty stone relief is a valuable cultural heritage that Xuzhou has dedicated to the world.

When talking about cultural consciousness, Mr. Fei Xiaotong said that when history develops to a certain period, it is always necessary to find a place and a group of people to carry forward a new atmosphere. Xuzhou, as a place of "dancing with the Han wind", is a group of people who are blown by the Han wind and integrated into the development of Han culture. The vitality of culture lies in innovation and inheritance. The age of children is the period of the development of human image thinking and creativity. Children are the important inheritors and new forces of the Han culture. When we appreciate the beauty of Xuzhou Han portraits, we notice its grandiose dynamic, scattered "full perspective" composition, bold pursuit of similarity without losing its authenticity, which is very similar to the characteristics of children's paintings that pay attention to plane listing, ignore perspective, but full of wonderful ideas. The variety and theme of the works on display this time are rich and varied, including monochrome Han paintings created with pencil, pen, brush and other tools; There are watercolor, gouache, oil painting stick and other color Han paintings; There are sketches that were visited in the Stone Museum of the Han Dynasty; There are also clay sculptures, collages and other materials, and works of various textures. It not only brings new visual experience to the audience, but also injects new vitality into the creation of Han painting art, so that Han culture can be effectively inherited in the vivid form of creative Han painting. Han paintings have come from the depths of history and become a part of our aesthetic life.

Today, the purpose of integrating traditional culture and art teaching is to lead children into the palace of national art, deeply explore and make full use of local cultural resources, and experience the charming art of Han painting. So as to improve the contribution of art to social life, cultivate children's artistic creativity, promote the continuous inheritance of the spirit of Chinese culture, and let the traditional culture burst into new vitality.
