Yu Da identifies with the painters of survival backgrounds. He felt himself obsessed with beauty,and also loved the area where there were beautiful views. each of which is formed of its own personality, He could not forget how things are brought together, and he knows where he came from, and he is grateful for each part. For thousands of years the only way Chinese artists improved their own works was from building on the universal personality, but also by the personality of the universal. Creating workes flowed freely from the object and me, providing me to witness a more complete world.

　　In China’s contemporary art circles,especially now, in oil painting circles stress the normal teaching, rejecting the normal personality origins of oil painting circles, abandoneding the connections almost became the entry card of joining the arts. Thus, in such a simple manner of Yu Da, is differemt others are vulgar, he is loud and clear, like as the Jiangnan that he described.

　　Jiangnan, called "Yan Liu was a flourishing place, a gentle and rich township," But after it removed its disguised and secular appearance, its scenery and beauty of the human of Jiangnan, not only traditional forms still exist, and because of the contrast changing times, even more pure, pleasing to the eye. It is a historical deposition or, natural good, its beauty is lively now. But very few people use it as the source of living water.

　　Yu Da has the Chinese traditional artists opinion and taste, perhaps he found Jiangnan’s beauty. His work presented in concise, refined aesthetic taste, in his life experiences have shown that the unique scenery of Jiangnan’s temperament, just fit his temperament cultivation and life course. He was Born in Yueyang,Hunan,a place of the human and cultural resources, he grew up in Dongting, work on the Pearl River Luo Wu, they live in the south, and formed a deep bond with the water.Water, moisten things Water is full of contradictions and unity. Have such a mentor eternal companions,Yu Da were lucky. Water, in the life of the painter no doubt occurred providing a profound effect and influence. He learned from the water and the resulting life wisdom conveyed through it the works may be a small part of it - the difficulties and advantages of the artist's presence here, but enough to inspire the people, full of wisdom, which is the water’s mission entrusted to him, but also to up on the Jiangnan providing the best returns. Another point of view, although Jiangnan is rich and colorful in its aesthetic resources, it can evoke a variety of creative impulses, but to be able to freely touch its character to the rivers and lakes at all levels, both light and bright, you see powerful pathos, which is not just external factors but can induce so simple. It should be said, Yu Da based on his own life and life in his mind,he choose the south.

　　Yu Da’s sentiment in the rivers and lakes, expresses his works as extremely rich, but at the same time showing an old routine, from the outside to the inside of the track evolution, context is very clear. This shows that have the ability of Yu da as an artist to paint for reflection. In the progressive process, he carries forward his southern charm, always containing a kind of indifferent, quiet bosom, with two styles side by side. This belongs to the body and mind its the wonderful place. Thus, in the Yangtze River Delta he devolped his attitude and life portrayal, objects devolped his temperament and training with his performance reaching high levels of the artists sign of maturity.

　　In the beginning of Water theme intervention, he reached a zest for life discovering shake smoke water filled ponds, willows soft light incense. from "rowed Girl" series, these plain, beautiful, breathtaking gesture, and water and sky clouds tree are seamless, but it is the center of everything. Yu da want to show the viewer, in addition to seeing with the eyes,seeing with your heart ,with this prospective the most common, and the universe, this is possible? Yes it is. Produced in the daily labors, actually led to ethereal.

　　A standard of art is to generate surprise. Regardless of their motivation how Yu da as a painter can clearlybe surprising.

　　Next, he crossed the southJiangnan providing general understanding - the soft, delicate, gentle south, often indicating a southern resolve, cold and refused. Its roots lies in the water -in its complex of mutually exclusive attributes. When the feminine side is providing too much publicity and has finally become an illusion, then explore the masculine side to set things right, it is the responsibility of the artist. Yu da to express the character of the southern,although there are different forms, but mostly his sentiment is out of water. In order to prove that his personally is a southern mix, a trail of Love; and more by the nature of water, you can find a deep wisdom of life. This reflection and contemplation, it seeing most of the works and the performance. This is actually a very natural way of presenting, large water without thinking. In today's art circles, Yu da is such a devout water poet.

　　A bronze mirror surface is like a cold river. In the "golden waterway", "shimmering reflection," "May nostalgia", "long years" and a series of works of Yu da,he focussed on the emotian, through southern unique scenery, enjoying the sway of his unique southern culture. Shimmering water is a shadow of his characters, always windy,,such as a sword scabbard, revealing a rigid beauty. Other smoke bridge stone tree, have condensed the wisdom, the experience with his life experience. Read in the works of quiet, then Brisk elegants, washes away the sense of this world.on the wave of spring water flowing and an providing extraordinary mood, but enough to purify the soul and soaring.

　　Another work of Yu da is an expression of feelings. "Memory Jiangnan", "Memories", "dreamland" and other series of works, leading the people into emotional illusion. Vicissitudes,providing a fleeting trance apart, the time fleeting is perishable and lamenting. There, the beauty and water people have pondered as if keyed, telling southern ages of the past. This kind of work can be said to be perfect things and thought the actual combination of things, worthy of arts.

　　Overall, in the southern of Yu da of the water is still bright, melodious, full of awe and gratitude from the soul out of the boom, even sad is filled with joy. Because both of the ships in the southern of his, or to reach the southern mind, is illusory rather than real knowledge. In addition, an artist must have their own language. In plain language of painting, natural, pure, he has a situational awareness of the traditional Chinese painting to deal with his painting, the painting atmosphere is balanced, complete elements have caused scheduling, and order. Creating an appropriate expression of things spiritual skills factors. Yu da is not a simple landscape painter, he promotes to make this painting with his Chinese style.

　　For the Jiangnan, the poetry of Zheng is helplessness:

　　Horseshoe sound hitting the land is a beautiful.

　　I'm not owned by people just passing through life

　　Yu da,the artistt, he is not contented, he is owned by people.
