The inspiration of this work comes from Ms. Li Shaoyue’s invitation to participate in the Autumn Traditional Culture Exhibition of Shandong Province. When she saw a small actor blowing Xun performing the program, Ms. Li Shaoyue wrote it down and completed it in 55 days in the studio.

Xun is a unique closed wind instrument of Han nationality. Its tone is simple and simple. It is the closest instrument to Taoist nature. It occupies an important position in the history of primitive art in the world.

The origin of Xun is related to the labor and production activities of the Han ancestors. It may be made by the ancestors to imitate the calls of birds and animals to trap prey. Later, with the progress of society, it evolved into a simple musical instrument, and gradually increased the sound hole, and developed into a melody instrument that can play tunes.

Main picture:

depicts a girl playing Xun scene, the girl dressed in traditional clothes, elegant posture, focused expression. Fine lines, soft colors, and a few delicate branches in the background create a quiet atmosphere. On the left side of the picture, there is the title “blowing Xun girl” and Li Shaoyue’s seal, which further enhances the artistic value of the work.

Sub-picture：Golden Pig is lucky

depicts a docile pig, lifelike, as if listening to the girl’s Xun sound. On the left side of the picture is the poem “Golden Dream, Melodious Song”, with the artist’s signature, the picture is delicate and full of life flavor.

Pigs are often regarded as a symbol of wealth and good luck in Chinese culture and are closely related to the concept of “home”. The golden pig’s blessing further emphasizes the pig’s role as a symbol of wealth and good luck. This meaning is widely spread through artistic works such as paper-cutting and dough sculptures, as well as folk customs such as spring couplets and ornaments.
