1000 painted pandas in Ya'an

四川雅安的大街小巷

时不时出现的大熊猫彩绘

总是让人眼前一亮

In the alleys of Ya'an, Sichuan, the painted pandas that appear from time to time are always a sight to behold.

这些是当地彩绘师姜雅的作品

她说，在街头巷尾画大熊猫

是想把这些小确幸送给路人

“对于发现它们的人来说

这也许会是平常生活中的一小抹色彩”

These are the works of Jiang Ya, a local painter. She says that painting pandas in the street is a way to give these serendipities to passers-by. "For the people who find them, this might be a small touch of color in their normal lives. "

街头巷尾彩绘大熊猫宣传家乡

去年10月，一次偶然的机会，姜雅在社交平台上承诺免费在雅安画1000只大熊猫。“没想到网上点赞和留言很多，收到近20万条互动。”姜雅说，第二天，她就提着工具出门，在公园找到几块大石头，现场直播画了三只大熊猫，“其间不少网友到现场‘监工’，还有小朋友给她送来零食。”

Last October, Jiang Ya promised on a social media platform to draw 1,000 pandas in Ya'an for free. "I didn't expect a lot of likes and comments, with nearly 200,000 interactions." Jiang Ya said, the next day, she went out with paraphernalia, chose several large stones in the park, then lived painting three pandas. Many netizens came to the scene as overseers, and children brought her snacks.

此后，姜雅常常就地取材，为街道的小角落添上鲜亮图画，并通过短视频分享创作过程。她介绍，雅安是世界第一只大熊猫的科学发现地和命名地，她希望通过这种方式让更多人了解雅安的熊猫文化。

Since then, Jiang Ya often adds drawings to corners of the street by taking local materials and sharing her painting process through videos. She introduced that Ya'an is the place where the world's first panda was scientifically discovered and named. She hopes to let more people understand the panda culture in Ya'an inthis way.

她和团队设计的大熊猫彩绘，还出现在当地青鼻山隧道内。造型各异的大熊猫徜徉在青山绿水间的画面将隧道变得绚丽多彩，让这里成为市民的拍照打卡地。目前，姜雅已完成超200幅大熊猫彩绘，她以平均每天2幅的速度朝着1000只大熊猫的目标迈进。

The panda paintings her teamandshedesigned also appeared in the local tunnel of Qingbi Mountain. The images of pandas in different shapes living in the natural environment make the tunnel colorful and make it a spot for the public. At present, Jiang Ya has completed more than 200 panda paintings. She is moving pace by pace towards the goal of 1,000 pandas at an average rate of 2 paintings per day.

用画笔记录救援感人瞬间

“9·5”泸定地震发生后，救援队伍第一时间赶赴灾区，为了尽快抵达灾区，队员们用一条横跨河面的绳索搭建桥梁，渡河后，队员在水面搭起一座简易木桥，为受灾群众搭建起一条生命通道。看到这一幕，姜雅立即拿起画笔，创作出了《跨越87年的同框》。

After the Luding earthquake on September 5th, 2022, the rescue team rushed to the disaster area. In order to reach the area as soon as possible, the team used a rope across the river to build a bridge.After crossing the river, the team built a simple wooden bridge over the water for the affected people. Seeing this, Jiang Ya picked up the brush immediately and created a work named "They meetacross 87 years".

姜雅的丈夫也是抗震救灾队伍中的一员。地震发生后，作为雅安市消防队的一名指挥员，他的丈夫也第一时间赶赴灾区。2008年汶川特大地震发生后，他从福建来到雅安支援，之后便留在了雅安。对于姜雅来说，画这些插画既是为了鼓舞前线的战士，也可以化解她对丈夫的担心。

Jiang Ya's husband was also a member of the rescue team. After the earthquake, as a commander of Ya'an Fire Brigade, hewent to the disaster area immediately. During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, he came from Fujian Province to support Ya'an and stayed there afterwards. For Jiang Ya, drawing these illustrations canboth inspire the soldiers on the front line of rescue and to relieve her worries about her husband.

这些年，她还结合当地特色，用彩绘为家乡提升颜值。在老旧小区外墙，她设计出色彩饱满的几何图形，让灰蒙蒙的小区有了文艺范儿。

Over the years, she also used color painting to improve the appearance of her hometown with local characteristics. On the old neighborhood facades, she designed full-color geometric shapes to give an artistic style to the dull neighborhood.

她说：

“我希望通过画笔

描绘更加和谐、文明、艺术的风景”

"I hope to paint a more harmonious, civilized and artistic scenery," said Jiang Ya.
