On the morning of October 28th, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Central Propaganda Department and the Shandong Provincial Supervision Commission announced that Zhao Changqing, the former party secretary and former vice chairman of the China Calligraphers Association, was suspected of serious violation of discipline and law, and was currently under disciplinary review by the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Central Propaganda Department and supervision investigation by the Shandong Provincial Supervision Commission.

According to the public resume, Zhao Changqing is 66 years old. He joined the work in December 1970 and joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in November 1971. He has served as deputy secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Committee, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Party Group of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles. In November 2002, he served as the director of the domestic liaison department of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles; In December 2005, he served as Party Secretary, Resident Vice Chairman and Secretary General of China Calligraphers Association; In April 2014, he served as the vice chairman of China Calligraphers Association; In December 2015, he served as a consultant of China Calligraphers Association; In 2018, Zhao Changqing retired at the age of 65. On October 15th, Zhao Changqing attended the opening ceremony of the National Exhibition of Painting, Calligraphy and Photography of Transportation Workers, which was also Zhao Changqing’s public appearance before his fall.

Zhao Changqing’s works

As the vice chairman of China Calligraphers Association and a well-known person in the calligraphy field, Zhao Changqing’s investigation has also aroused people’s concern about anti-corruption in the cultural circle.

Zhao Changqing once published an oral article "Calligrapher Zhao Changqing: Write Well and Be a Good Person", which said: I was born in the countryside, grew up in the county, worked and lived in a big city, and I have always been attached to calligraphy. In the northeast words, I have been "walking with words" in my life. Now, I have become a calligrapher, and I am content! A person, you can’t get everything. If you take the right path and realize your own life value, it is your greatest happiness. It is my childhood dream to be fascinated by calligraphy and send love poems, which is the greatest pleasure in my life. Although calligraphy is a "road of no return", I must stick to it.

However, as early as 2015, Zhao Changqing was reported by his real name. The article lists ten channels for Zhao Changqing to collect money through the platform of China Calligraphers Association. Such as "selling words openly to collect money" and "taking advantage of the opportunity of calligraphers to join the calligraphers’ association, accepting them ‘ Buy a road ’ Collect money "and so on.

In fact, there are not a few "official calligraphers" who have been investigated and dealt with in anti-corruption work in recent years. Judging from the existing cases, some fallen officials once had an "elegance addiction" in calligraphy, but in the quagmire of corruption, the original normal hobby has become an "elegance bribe".

Jin Suidong’s works

On February 3, 2019, Jin Suidong, former deputy secretary and vice chairman of the Henan Provincial Political Consultative Conference, was expelled from the Party. One of the contents in the circular issued by the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is "selling my calligraphy works at a high price". It is worth noting that "selling my calligraphy works at a high price" is placed under the problem of abuse of power. After the erosion of power and money transactions, the original normal calligraphy price may become "sky-high", but it has deviated from the essence of art. In July, 2019, Zhang Yongle, the former director of Shangqiu Municipal Government Office in Zhengzhou, was investigated. He was a well-known local calligrapher.

Wei Chuanzhong’s works

Wei Chuanzhong, a member of the former Party Group and Deputy Director of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, who was "double-opened" on September 7, 2019, is very fond of calligraphy and was once a member of the China Calligraphers Association. Before his downfall, he was quite active in the calligraphy field both at home and abroad, and he also published Wei Chuanzhong’s Calligraphy Collection, Wei Chuanzhong’s Calligraphy and Chinese Studies in Mo Yun — — Wei Chuanzhong’s Selected Works of Famous Sentences in Calligraphy and Chinese Studies and many other works. On November 24, 2018, China Excellent Family Style Family Training — — Wei Chuanzhong et al. Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition was held in Zhejiang Province. In his speech at the opening ceremony, Wei Chuanzhong said: "If everyone can take the traditional culture of clean government as the goal, our society will be a harmonious society, a positive society, an honest society and a legal society."

There is no forbidden zone, no time limit and no dead angle in anti-corruption, and the art of calligraphy cannot be defiled. If the atmosphere of corruption erodes the cultural circles, it will inevitably have a bad influence on artistic creation. Zhao Changqing’s case embodies the clear attitude of the Party and the state that greed must be countered and corruption must be eliminated. This is a wake-up call for corrupt officials who are still lucky. In the face of party discipline and state law, no one can be an exception, and the party and the country will surely win this anti-corruption struggle.

　　As early as before the First World War, ettori Bugatti, who loves French and horses, chose Hermes to tailor various saddles for thoroughbred horses in his stables. In the saddle workshop at No.24 St. Honnore Road, the order catalogue clearly records what the customer and art connoisseur are eager to get-lightweight English saddle, seamless lady’s side saddle, double-horse carriage set, horn whip, English horse wearing, flower bet EB (abbreviation of ettori Bugatti) cut on wool fabric, and so on-all of which prove his famous saying: ". Emile Hermes’ autograph can usually be seen on the items of these orders: during that time, Emile and his brother were in charge of Hermes Brothers’ workshop together, and they would personally supervise the processing and production of these products according to Bugatti’s orders.

　　Bugatti Veyron Hermes Special Edition

　　As an accomplished harness manufacturer, Emil was also interested in a new adventure at that time … that was the car. At the end of 1914, he went to North America on business and visited the Ford Motor Factory in Detroit. Franchised by the Canadian military, the zipper was used on the soft ceiling of Ford T Torpedo series cars. This revolutionary new device aroused Emile’s great interest, and he soon obtained the patent right of this design in France. A close connection based on mutual understanding and trust, a love for horses and a fascination with cars-the intersection of the talented inventor and designer in the mechanical field and his favorite harness manufacturing expert was built here.

　　The year 1920 witnessed a decisive turning point for Hermes: Emile became the sole manager of the family business, and from then on, he began to boldly develop products and always adhered to diversified business strategies. At this time, Hermes has become a leading fitting expert in the industry in providing comfortable and elegant experience for driving around, and thus established its symbolic position. At the travel equipment trade fair, the company’s booth is always filled with all kinds of accessories with exquisite workmanship, practical design and novel styles-comfortable driving clothes, thick blankets with pockets, beverage cans, shoes or cosmetics, travel clocks, vacuum thermos bottles between walls, car decorations, radiator caps, etc.-A dazzling array of products has always become the hottest public topic of the day.

　　suitcase

　　A bag with a round handle-called sac haut à fermeture éclair ("long handbag with zipper") or Sacpour L ‘auto ("travel bag")-has been widely concerned since 1923-the first luggage bag with a safety zipper. Its rounded line outline reproduces the elegant and unique grille design of the "horseshoe radiator" on Bugatti cars-thus connecting the two companies again. In 1930, the fashion department of Hermes grandly launched a women’s dress named "Bugatti". This sports suit is bold in design and all made of leather fabrics, which shows the avant-garde spirit of Hermes fashion.

　　In 1929, ettori ordered a beautiful suitcase in Hermè s Workshop, which was installed on the first car in the Royale series of Bugatti, and it was a perfect fit with the car body designed by Charles T. Weymann. This suitcase is made of wear-resistant yellow cowhide, which was completed in June 1929. The raised upper cover has a rounded outline and the initials "EB" are marked in the center. Coupled with the "finishing touch" of Hermes, this car was successfully sold at the Paris Concours d‘Elegance at the highest price of the exhibition.

　　In the spring of 1937, a Bugatti Atlantic 57S coupé won the highest honor at the Tournoi de super-élégance held in Zhu Ang. The jury also made special mention of the interior design of the car and praised it. The ashtray, vacuum flask and suitcase are all made of pigskin by Hermes.

　　Today, these two top brands, known for their elegant style and exquisite workmanship, have become classic legends. But up to now, the values that inspire them to keep moving forward are still full of vitality, which can be traced back to the personal practice of Emile and ettori-elegance, comfort, speed, strength and security, which are the goals they have been pursuing all their lives. They all cherish the value of innovation, break away from convention, forge ahead, and devote unlimited energy to the improvement and decoration of everyday objects. Both brands are actively trying to integrate tradition and modernity, and have found a meeting point in many aspects, and here it is on leather products. In 2008, their names were linked together again, which opened a new chapter in this wonderful story …

　　At the 78th Geneva Motor Show (March 6-16, 2008), Bugatti and Hermè s jointly launched the product of cooperation between the two brands: Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès, thus connecting the excellent mechanical properties of Bugatti with Hermes’ professional experience and exquisite craftsmanship. In the process of cooperation with Hermes, designer Gabriele Pezzini integrated the distinctive style of Hermes into the design of Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which showed the unique temperament of this car more and more.

　 　 1905 movie network news The 4th Beijing International Film Festival opened in Beijing on April 16th. As the opening film of the festival, French films first met the audience in China. The film was written and directed by christophe gans, the French director who directed the thriller and suspense movie Ghost Angel. The dark colors and severe scenes show a strong dark style. The role of "Belle Bella" is played by the leading French actress Léa Seydoux, whose cool temperament and extremely gorgeous modeling are impressive.

New interpretation adds fatalism, exquisite picture, dark style

　 　 The first published version of Beauty and the Beast appeared in the works of the French writer Madame Villeneuve in 1740. In this original version, the prince was orphaned by an evil fairy when he was young. When the prince came of age, the fairy lured him into failure and turned him into a beast. Later versions cut down the reason why the prince turned into a beast. The popular version of children’s fairy tales was basically expressed as "being turned into a beast because he didn’t know how to love". The 1946 black-and-white movie and the animated version produced by Disney in 1991 both used the children’s fairy tale version.
　 　
　 　 Christopher, the director and screenwriter, made a new interpretation of the reason why the prince turned into a beast. The prince turned into a beast no longer because he was harmed by others, but because he was to blame himself. The meeting between Bella and the beast was no longer just caused by Bella’s father’s accidental intrusion, which added a strong sense of destiny. This fateful plot indirectly explained the reason why the heroine Bella fell in love with the beast.

　 　 However, not everyone accepts this interpretation. Because the film strengthens the influence of fate on their love, some people think that Bella’s love with the beast is somewhat inexplicable, while others think that this arrangement downplays the theme of "love redemption" in fairy tales.

　 　 The film continues the director’s dark fantasy style, and the story is told in parallel and finally naturally meets. The most impressive thing about the whole film is the gorgeous modeling of the characters and the film picture with oil painting texture. The overall tone is gloomy and gloomy, especially in the performance of large-scale scenes, which creates a strange atmosphere. In the performance of rural scenery, many frames are like European oil paintings that can be hung on the wall. Different from the background of the picture, the costumes of the protagonists are gorgeous and compelling, and the sharp contrast also strengthens the sense of drama conflict.

Léa Seydoux turned into a "painting man", and the French prince was elegant and charming.

　 　 Léa Seydoux, whose Life of Adele is famous all over the world, was once described by the magazine as "a person who escaped from the paintings of the Renaissance". As a model, she has a cold face, a loose and desolate expression, and a distinctive facial contour shows a tough temperament. Leia once said in an interview that this film will be very "modern". From the perspective of clothing, it really looks like Leia’s personal fashion show.

　 　 In the film, the dress of the heroine Bella is divided into three stages: as the youngest daughter in the family, Bella’s dress is the least complicated but the most exquisite among the daughters; After the family came down, Bella took it easy and put on the clothes of a peasant woman; After staying at the Beast Castle, Bella put on many sets of gorgeous clothes provided by the Beast. At first, the pure white showed Bella’s confusion, and then a set of blue dresses revealed Bella’s growing inner strength. Finally, the red Chinese clothes made Bella the most dazzling, and the picture of her going into danger alone was even more moving.

　 　 The plasticity of Leiya’s personal temperament is also surprising. In "Adele’s Life", the handsome blue hair style still stays in the audience’s impression, and she can freely switch between sweetness and royal sister in the film.

　 　 Interestingly, the prince played by Vincent Cassel in the film surprised some viewers. His rough appearance is different from the traditional handsome prince in China, and some viewers think that he is a real French prince who is elegant and mature. In fact, this famous French actor, who has appeared in other classic films, mostly appears as a beast in the film. However, when he appears as a prince, he still exudes French aristocratic temperament.
