Many years ago, I knew that police officer Gong Jie of Suzhou Public Security Bureau was a "stone idiot". There are many precious Lingbi stones in his family, which are quite famous in the field of Tibetan stones inside and outside the province. I have also read his unique stone appreciation articles in newspapers and periodicals. I have only heard of his articles, but I have never seen them. I was invited to write an article about him this time, and finally got a chance to meet him. In the interview, I learned that Gong Jie himself is not only a stone fool, but also a painter with distinctive personality and profound attainments. His wife, Zhang Lihua, has been running a youth painting and calligraphy class for many years, and her students have won many awards in the national painting and calligraphy competition.
Poor; poor
Gong Jie was born in 1957, a poor family in Mengcheng County, Anhui Province. His wife, Zhang Lihua, was a primary school classmate with him, and they were childhood friends. They got married on 1980. Because both families were poor, their marriage was poor: Gong Jie went to work normally on the wedding day without money for catering. As the most revolutionary wedding, this kind of wedding was also interviewed by Anhui Daily reporter.
The days of poverty did not end with the arrival of marriage, but lasted for many years. Shortly after their marriage, they had a pair of children and an old mother from Mengcheng. It is really difficult for five people to maintain a salary of more than 30 yuan a month. For this reason, his wife, Zhang Lihua, keeps rabbits and quails, and regularly goes to the market to sell a dozen eggs. Because of the hard life, Zhang Lihua has not worn new clothes for many years.
As children grow up and go to school, thrift is not the way. In the case of no retreat, the couple borrowed 1000 yuan to open a small grocery store. Thanks to their hard work, dedication and sincere hospitality, their business has gradually flourished. Influenced by his father's calligraphy since childhood, Zhang Lihua has a special liking for calligraphy. Rich life made her regain her long-lost brush. Whenever it rains on cloudy days, there is no business or night, she practices calligraphy on the counter, and she keeps posting from Zhao Mengfu to Li Beihai and Yan Zhenqing. From then on, she found the coordinates of her career.
diligent
Zhang Lihua loves calligraphy, Gong Jie loves painting, and China has a family of calligraphy and painting since ancient times. From 65438 to 0994, the couple joined the Provincial Book Association and the Provincial Artists Association respectively. This is in line with the old saying "Heaven rewards diligence".
1999, China Painting and Calligraphy Talent Training Center and Painting and Calligraphy Talent Qualification Examination Committee assessed her as a researcher and a second-class calligrapher. In 2000, in order to apply a set of scientific and systematic learning methods of China Academy of Fine Arts to Suzhou and cultivate the calligraphy reserve force for Suzhou, she co-founded Suzhou Calligraphy Training Center, and was responsible for teaching and daily work. In 2002, more than 20 of her students won gold, silver, bronze and excellent prizes in the Singapore International Youth Calligraphy Competition and the 15th Shuanglong Cup Calligraphy Competition in Hubei Province respectively.
The wife is excellent, and the husband is unambiguous. In his spare time, Gong Jie loves stones and is keen on fine arts. Currently, he is deputy secretary-general of Suzhou Artists Association, vice-chairman and secretary-general of Suzhou Stone Appreciation Association, director of China Stone Appreciation Association, secretary-general of China Lingbi Stone Research Association, and expert of China Lingbi Stone Expert Appraisal Group.

65438-0997, China Academy of Fine Arts enrolled two students in Anhui Province. After almost harsh cultural and professional examinations, Zhang Lihua stood out from many competitors and became the highest institution of calligraphy art in China at the age of 36. She is the oldest student in the school, older than some teachers, so she is often laughed at and ridiculed by young students. These, for Zhang Lihua, honed by the pressure of life and years, will not be depressed, but will become a powerful driving force. In China Academy of Fine Arts, she kept taking notes, copying and thinking, and finally got something. 1998, she became one of the five scholarship recipients in the whole school with her enviable academic performance.
One.
graceful
On the walls of several strange stone exhibition halls in Gong Jie, his paintings with the theme of bamboo stones are displayed in a dazzling array. Gong Jie claimed to be the owner of Zhu Fengtang. In his works, he praised the "festival" of bamboo for many times, such as "planting bamboo since ancient times is expensive", "being humble with frost and snow" and "being a gentleman with elegant integrity". From this we can see the author's attitude towards study and life.
Gong Jie began to collect and appreciate stones in the 1990s. Every holiday, he goes up the mountain by car, talking to the mountain and the stone alone. Sometimes I meet a stone in the mountains and fall in love at first sight, but my eyes are as affectionate as a lover's proposal, I swear; He touched and played, examined and observed, and fell into ecstasy. Gong Jie's decades of collection eventually became a well-known collector of strange stones, probably because those strange stones have aura, rushing to Gong Jie's "elegance" and "birds of a feather flock together"!
insane
When it comes to Si Tong, the taciturn Gong Jie seems to be a different person. He talked about history and philosophy of life from strange stones. He is eloquent, loving and selfless. He directly talked about the "four beauties" of stone: "First, the beauty of nature, the formation of a stone often takes 400 million to 900 million years of vicissitudes, which is natural and incomparable to any art; The second is personality beauty. When you collect a strange stone, you can proudly say that you have a unique stone in the world, which can never be copied. Third, the beauty of silence. I have a set with all five senses and a big mouth, so I named it' smart and difficult to understand'. In order to avoid talking too much and suffer losses, and to be a smart person, I have to hide my mouth. This is really a teaching that silence is better than sound; Then there is eternal beauty. Among works of art, only strange stones are the most eternal. "

Gong Jie began his heart by appreciating stones and discovered the philosophy and fun of physical properties. There is a hidden stone that has been put on hold for two years and no good one has been found. One day, the wonderful situation was solved and my heart was opened. It is found that the shape of stone contains multiple philosophies. After many years, he got a lot of enlightenment and epiphany by talking with this stone. Gong Jie said that the feeling of stone is like the feeling of Zen machine, which can't be described in detail, inconvenient and unclear. Appreciating stones can solve the problem of "quietness" in life. "quietness" refers to the quietness of stones, which can calm the impetuous heart of life. Calm down and think about things, but things can be cultivated, the body can be repaired, the family can be cured, the whole country is well governed, and the world is peaceful. Therefore, stone appreciation can be linked with world peace and happiness. "Moving" means that the artistry of the strange stone makes people move, and moving will certainly bring about the movement of the body, friends and funds, so as to achieve good health, deepen friendship and increase wealth. Therefore, stone appreciation is "quiet and comfortable, moving and pleasing."
For many years, treating Si Tong as a friend, teacher and companion made Gong Jie "turn love into delusion". Most people appreciate stones for economic purposes, while Gong Jie likes to face stones, realize them and burn incense to meditate, so Gong Jie always gains more than others, and he has risen from hiding stones to realizing them. He is not only a strange stone collector, but also a strange stone theorist. China Lingbi Stone Newspaper, Shidao, China Stone Culture Newspaper and other newspapers have published his strange stone papers many times. In 2005, China Lingbi Stone Newspaper published more than one odd stone paper 10, and its articles were also selected in the Proceedings of the Sixth National Stone Exhibition, the Proceedings of Tianjin Lingbi Stone Seminar and Lingbi Stone Theory.
The ancients said: Sincerity, the stone is open. This sentence is perfect for Gong Jie and Zhang Lihua, an artist couple.
