尺寸:243.5x123.3(含框)

北京三百書畫院，簡稱「三百畫院」，是由中共黨中央、國務院、全國人大、政協及解放軍共同組成的跨部門文化單位，直屬於全國道德主題教育組織委員會之下。設院長、執行院長等首長職務，以統轄其內外事務。目前已累積成員逾一千人，初以將軍及省部級領導為核心，逐漸擴及國內外藝術家。本院設於北京，會址在中共中央對外聯絡部內；另在上海市、重慶市、吉林省、河北省、山東省及廣東省成立分院。
以書法、繪畫、篆刻為主要交流類別，透過巡迴展覽展、大型筆會，以擴充交流經驗，並提升國民精神涵養為目標。該院另典藏中共國開國元老墨跡百餘幅，並作為平常教育或慈善活動之用。畫會以「三百」為名，在於以下三方面水準的完美要求，包含(一)政治100分、(二)藝術100分及(三)慈善100分。前者需忠黨愛國，配合國家進行政治宣傳；其次，藝術家必須擁有高水準，以繼承發揚中華文化精隨為職志；最後，須發揮公益、慈愛之心，致力於服務社會。
本作為該書畫院藝術家之集體創作，畫題為「媽祖護佑中華」。畫風謹細，設色艷麗，媽祖頭戴冕旒，身著黃袍，雙手合掌，置身於雲霧之中，氣氛莊嚴肅穆。作者藉此主題進行民間宗教文化交流，藉以倡導良善風俗，祈祝社會安康、天下太平，符合其設院目標。(504字)

Commonly referred to as “Sanbai Academy”, the Beijing Sanbai Academy of Calligraphy and Painting is an interdepartmental cultural institution jointly formed by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, the National People’s Congress, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and the People’s Liberation Army. It operates directly under the National Moral Education Organizational Committee. The academy is led by a president and an executive president, overseeing both internal and external affairs. Currently, the academy has over 1,000 members. It initially centered around generals and provincial- and ministerial-level leaders but has gradually expanded to include domestic and international artists. The headquarters is located in Beijing, within the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee. Additionally, branch academies have been established in Shanghai, Chongqing, Jilin Province, Hebei Province, Shandong Province, and Guangdong Province.

The academy primarily focuses on calligraphy, painting, and seal carving, facilitating artistic exchanges through touring exhibitions and large-scale collaborative art gatherings. Its mission is to enhance cultural exchange while fostering the spiritual development of the nation. The academy also houses a collection of over a hundred calligraphic works by the founding leaders of the People’s Republic of China, which are utilized for educational and charitable purposes. The name “Sanbai” (Three Hundreds) reflects the academy’s commitment to excellence in three key aspects: (1) 100 points in politics – Members must demonstrate loyalty to the Party and patriotism while supporting national political initiatives. (2) 100 points in art – Artists must maintain a high artistic standard, dedicating themselves to the inheritance and promotion of traditional Chinese culture. (3) 100 points in charity – Members are expected to uphold a spirit of public welfare and compassion, contributing to social service.

This artwork is a collective creation by artists from Sanbai Academy, titled “Mazu Protecting China.” The painting exhibits meticulous craftsmanship and vibrant coloring. Mazu is depicted wearing a ceremonial crown and an imperial yellow robe, standing amid clouds with her hands clasped together in a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Through this theme, the artists aim to foster cultural exchange on folk religious traditions, promote virtuous customs, and pray for social harmony and world peace, aligning with the academy’s founding mission.
