Painter Fan Rong selected a number of famous paintings to introduce, such as the Eastern Han Dynasty's bronze "Horse Treading on Flying Swallows", which has become a national tourism icon; the Tang Dynasty's "Six Horses of Zhaoling" is famous all over the world; Cao Ba's horse and his representative work, the Four Heroes, have been lost, but they are famous through the ages because of Du Fu's poem; Han Gan's "Herding Horses"; Ren Renfa's Yuan Dynasty's "Herding Horses" "Two Horses" more nakedly describes the lifelike images of honest and corrupt officials; Ren Bonian's ink-dyed paintings in the Qing Dynasty opened up a new direction and influenced the style of modern paintings. For example, Xu Beihong's painting of horses blended Chinese and Western methods and became a master of his generation. Painter Fan Rongdu gave a simple and in-depth explanation one by one. He also explained why it is called "Breathed Horse"? This horse is strong, handsome and good at running. It was born in Shemanstein, today. There are only about 3,000 horses in existence. Because the skin is delicate (thin), the capillaries in the epidermis are easy to rupture after running, so that the color of the sweat is almost ocher red like blood, which makes horse lovers have a deeper understanding of the sweat-blooded Pegasus. Fan Rongsui displayed and explained some of his masterpieces over the years, such as "Beauty Like Jade, Sword and Rainbow", "Eight Horses", "Horse Crying in Proud Spring Breeze", "Soaring Dragon", "Two Horses", "Desert Storm", "Wind for Ten Thousand Miles", "Soaring Horses", and many other works. At the same time, he responded to various questions raised by many guests in detail one by one. The scene was filled with a harmonious and friendly atmosphere of communication.

The audience was attentive

Painter Fan Rong not only held many art exhibitions, but also went to community schools to explain Chinese painting culture and promote the unity of art exchanges between the United States and China. He also splashed ink on China's National Day, the Spring Banquet and Mid-Autumn Festival gatherings of overseas Chinese communities, and the Asian Art Festival, and painted and donated paintings as souvenirs for the festival. It is also collected by mainstream societies in the United States, such as municipal and state governments. Fan Rong's "Horse Picture" became a beautiful thing for friendly exchanges, and his paintings were highly praised and appreciated. The painter Fan Rong was not only good at painting horses, he also improvised "There are fish every year" at the spring banquet of the Alberta PEN Association. In autumn, he composed "The Garden with Flowers and the Moon" and even improvised the "Picture of Flying Pigeons and Peace" during the "Ode to Peace" concert, which won the signatures and support of hundreds of Chinese and foreign people. It pushed the spread of Chinese culture and art to the peak and became a good story.

At the end, the painter Fan Rong confessed that painting horses is still his favorite, because mainstream society and all walks of life can easily understand the display form of horses. Whether it is the horse's flying or galloping, it is a positive energy that inspires life to make progress. The horse's momentum also encourages self-improvement. The perseverance is commendable, and the ideologies echo each other, which is really commendable.
