大家都一窝蜂的追求利益忽略了精神，艺术品最终是一种精神心灵的折射。有人说，打铁还要自身强，自身不行画家会抛弃你，藏家也会不信任你。

您的作品有非常厉害的传统功底，构图落款非常现代。您的画没有炫技，很安静，也不是老一套的师古、师泥，完全是当代人的感受。主要是看您的作品在市场上的变化、走向是否有潜力：

中国画画的是什么? 画的不是形、也不是象、不是气也不是韵。而是神、是魂。是万物皆有灵魂的魂。魂是什么?魂就是精神世界、是中国哲学的最高境界，也是中国艺术的最高境界。我觉得萧四希老师已经达到这个境界。

—黄永玉

Everyone's relentless pursuit of benefits overlooks the spirit, and artworks ultimately reflect the spirit and soul. Some people say that to forge iron, one must be strong on one's own. If one is not strong on one's own, painters will abandon you, and collectors will not trust you.

Your work has a very strong traditional foundation, and the composition and style are very modern. Your painting is not flashy, it is very quiet, and it is not the same old style of learning from ancient and clay. It is completely a contemporary feeling. It mainly depends on whether your work has the potential to change and move towards the market:

What is Chinese painting? What is drawn is not form, nor is it image, nor is it qi or rhyme. But it's a god, it's a soul. It is the soul of all things with a soul. What is a soul? Soul is the spiritual world, the highest realm of Chinese philosophy, and also the highest realm of Chinese art. I think Teacher Xiao Sixi has reached this level.

萧四希老师作品主题显示突出，用笔巧妙，聚灵动与和谐于一体，体现了“大秀、大雅、大气、大美”之风，线条流畅纵情、具有极高的审美价值，颇为当代大家，中国黄金有价，萧老师的艺术无价。

—蔡武

The theme of Teacher Xiao Sixi's works is prominent, with clever brushstrokes that combine agility and harmony, embodying the style of "grandeur, elegance, grandeur, and beauty". The lines are smooth and indulgent, with extremely high aesthetic value, which is quite contemporary. Chinese gold is valuable, while Teacher Xiao's art is priceless.

—Cai Wu

师古从令，博众家之所长，其作品鬼斧神工，点墨成金。精于心，隐于形，谓为经典。艺无止境，永攀高峰，多创墨宝，影响后人，为国家文化进步再创历史辉煌。

—刘大为

Shi Gu Cong Ling, the strengths of many families, and his works are masterful, turning ink into gold. Being refined in the heart and hidden in the form is called a classic. Art knows no bounds, always climbing peaks, creating more calligraphy treasures, influencing future generations, and creating new historical glory for the progress of national culture.

— Liu Dawei

萧老师其作品，画面制作精致，笔法流畅，用线的长短、滑湿、枯润和收放，在每幅作品中气势磅礴，雄浑有力，反映出浓厚的绘画功力。线条饱满刚柔并济，形与神浑然天成，您不仅汲取了传统理论和实践精华，更自创出属干自己的艺术风格，其作品一经问世，必将震撼整个画坛。当代中国就需要这样的文化，萧老师定会永攀高峰，永创辉煌，永无止境，为中华民族留下灿烂瑰宝。

—张海

Teacher Xiao's works are exquisitely crafted with smooth brushstrokes, using the length, smoothness, dryness, and retraction of lines, creating a majestic and powerful atmosphere in each piece, reflecting a strong artistic ability. The lines are full, rigid and soft, and the shape and spirit are naturally formed. You not only absorb the essence of traditional theory and practice, but also create your own artistic style. Once its works are published, they will certainly shake the entire painting world. Contemporary China needs such a culture. Teacher Xiao will always climb the peak, create brilliance, and leave brilliant treasures for the Chinese nation.
