The Confucius family has almost 2500 years of history. Kong Weike， the 78th generation of descendants， was born in 1956. Although his family was persecuted during his childhood when Confucius was not respected， he never gave up his appetitepainting. In 1993， he began to create a succession of works on Confucius， which showed that Confuciuss descendants had shifted their attention from focusing on formal understanding to specific cognition. His artworks were widely acclaimed with the reason that they displayed the modernity of contemporary figures painting and the epic characters of Chinese style.

孔氏家族已有约2500多年历史。画家孔维克即是这个庞大家族的第78代裔孙。孔维克生于1956年，整个成长时期，正值对孔子“大不敬”的特殊年月，其家庭受到迫害，做医生的父亲亡命东北，但他得到母亲的支持得以专心学习，即使失学在家，也未曾放弃绘画这一爱好。

孔维克令人刮目相看的年头是1993年。这一年，他开始创作孔子系列作品，它标志着孔子后裔开始对自己先人和家族从“形而上”的认知落实到具体的审视与追寻上来。

对孔维克来说，《杏坛讲学》是一幅易于为众人接受的以主观态度为主的作品。圣祖孔子是“授业解惑”的先圣，杏坛设学，周游列国，一生都是在说教中度过的。 “杏坛讲学”是孔子轶事中极辉煌的一则，更是孔子思想集大成之所在。关于这一史料，传说众多，造像也多。明代吴彬绘有《孔子杏坛讲学图》，孔子居中讲学，四周弟子四人。另一幅《孔子讲学图》，绘者是明代人或宋代李唐，说法不一。图中石壁下老松盘曲，文杏杂列，孔子执如意，凭几讲学。据见过此画的人讲：画中弟子20人，或拱立聆教，或持香炉，或抱琴，或执卷，或敛袖，或曳杖，或行相问答，具体而周全地描绘出了孔子和众多不同门第弟子的形象，算得上一幅精致非凡的佳作。孔维克从具体的感情中演绎出客观的图像，确切地表述了灵魂中对儒家风范永存的信仰。作品在笔墨上求“古”，在组合及观念上求“新”，其有机融合所传达的文化信息大大强化了画作的吸引力。

孔维克图解过六艺。……
