Cai Shuxin, an early oil painter in China, graduated from the lover of Xia Yan, the director of the Central Propaganda Department of New China, an early revolutionary pioneer in China, Tokyo, Japan. Their former residence is now open to the public by the Shanghai People's Government. On the wedding night in 1930, Teacher Cai painted her own name (newly-married naked wife), which caused quite a stir in the art world and auction collectors. The surviving paintings are extremely rare and precious, and once appeared in the Hong Kong auction in 2019. Our company came across a painting named "Huang Cimei" painted by Cai Shuxin in Beijing in April 1959. The painting is 46.5 cm high and 36.5 cm wide. The artwork shows desktop vision. The ancient China ceramic vase is placed on the side, which symbolizes the five-star color of the national flag of New China at that time, and the far and near layout of branches and leaves. It has strong stereoscopic vision. Look at the artwork carefully. In the middle right, it presents the wood tree rings with ancient tung oil brushed on the wooden board wall. This oil painting perfectly combines the essence of western painting with the delicacy of Chinese painting. When you are at leisure, you can enjoy tea carefully, and the painting is full of imagination. The blue tile roof, the ancient wooden board wall, the roses in full bloom indoors, the vases with China elements, and the painting also shows the artist's attainments and the profoundness of Chinese culture.

画面中，盛放的黄刺玫居于核心位置。画家以细腻且富有表现力的笔触，勾勒出黄刺玫花朵的形态。那一抹抹明亮的黄色，在深色枝叶的衬托下显得格外夺目，仿佛将阳光凝聚其中，展现出勃勃生机。花朵或绽放，或半掩，姿态各异，似在微风中轻轻摇曳，传递出自然的灵动与活力。

In the picture, Huang Cimei in full bloom is at the core. With delicate and expressive brushwork, the painter outlined the flower shape of Rosa roxburghii. That touch of bright yellow, against the background of dark branches and leaves, is particularly eye-catching, as if to condense the sunshine and show great vitality. Flowers are blooming or half-hidden, with different postures, like swaying gently in the breeze, conveying the agility and vitality of nature.

承载黄刺玫的深色花瓶稳重而古朴，与娇艳的花朵形成鲜明对比，在视觉上营造出独特的平衡感。花瓶置于带有暖色调的台面上，背景则以柔和的棕色调渲染，这种色彩搭配不仅凸显了主体，还为整幅作品增添了一份温馨而静谧的氛围。

The dark vase bearing Rosa roxburghii is steady and simple, which is in sharp contrast with the delicate flowers and creates a unique sense of balance visually. The vase is placed on the table with warm colors, and the background is rendered with soft earthy tones. This color collocation not only highlights the main body, but also adds a warm and quiet atmosphere to the whole work.

从技法上看，蔡叔馨巧妙运用油画的特性，通过色彩的叠加与笔触的变化，塑造出丰富的质感。无论是花朵的娇嫩、枝叶的坚韧，还是花瓶的厚重，都被表现得淋漓尽致，体现了画家深厚的绘画功底。

From the technical point of view, Cai Shuxin skillfully uses the characteristics of oil painting to create a rich texture through the superposition of colors and the change of brush strokes. Whether it is the delicate flowers, the tenacity of branches and leaves, or the massiness of vases, they are all displayed incisively and vividly, reflecting the painter's profound painting skills.

创作于1959年的这幅作品，有着独特的时代印记。当时的艺术创作在反映现实生活的同时，也追求对美的表达。《黄刺玫》虽描绘的是平凡的花卉，却以艺术的形式传达出对生活的热爱和对自然的赞美。它让我们在欣赏艺术之美的同时，也能感受到那个时代人们对美好生活的向往与追求。蔡叔馨的《黄刺玫》，不仅是一幅精美的油画作品，更是一段历史与艺术交融的珍贵记忆 。

This work, created in 1959, has a unique imprint of the times. The artistic creation at that time not only reflected the real life, but also pursued the expression of beauty. Although Huang Cimei depicts ordinary flowers, it conveys love for life and praise for nature in the form of art. It allows us to appreciate the beauty of art, but also feel people's yearning and pursuit of a better life in that era. Cai Shuxin's Huang Ci Mei is not only a beautiful oil painting, but also a precious memory of the blending of history and art.
