already slipped? This is only part of it, you can imagine how shocking the page is! What's even more amazing is that the author divided the long scroll into six sections of according to the river and mountain trend, and then used "slicing" labels and explained the details of in detail, so that readers can truly understand the overall situation and understand the subtle . Next, let us read the thousands of miles of land with the author~
Scholars believe that this picture has rich and varied methods, integrating Dongyuan, Li Cheng, Wang Shun , Wang Shun . The mountains are mostly painted with lines, similar to Dong Yuan; on the cliffs, they are mostly painted with short and thick side brushes, similar to the texture method in Wang Shu's "Little Snow Picture of Fishing Village".
In the figure, stone green and stone green are used to dye the mountains and tops, and the purity is high and the color is very thick. Stone green mostly refers to azurite , which is an alkaline copper carbonate mineral, dark blue and glassy. stone green mostly refers to malachite or silicon malachite . It is named after the green green like peacock tail feathers. It is suitable for grinding into powder. It has excellent stability as a pigment, bright color, and long-lasting storage. In addition, this picture also uses turquoise when blending stone green.
In addition to art techniques and style genre , the explanation of a painting is naturally indispensable for to draw background and author introduction . According to the postscript of "The Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" at the end of the volume Cai Jing , the author of this picture was "Xi Meng". In the third year of Zhenghe (1113), the year old was only 18 years old. Xi Meng was a student of the Palace Painting Academy during the period of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was smart by nature, diligent and studious. He received personal guidance from Song Huizong . was painted into "The Map of Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in just half a year. However, shortly after completing this magnificent masterpiece, Ximeng passed away, which is why his name is not seen in the history of painting. Even the King of Xi Meng was proposed by several collectors of the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later.
There is another highlight in this book, and you will definitely be moved by the details. The author places the specific things in the painting under the background of the times , or connects other famous paintings to explain intertextually, and analyzes the hidden features of and theme , such as the square stone platform below that looks ordinary at first glance.
This stone platform is located outside a courtyard, and there are small paths connected between them, which shows that people should be in common. Eight trees are planted around the stone platform, and there is a crane on each side, and there is a fence near the edge of the cliff. Some scholars believe that the stone platform of is similar to the square relic tower of Tang Dynasty in Xianyou, Fujian. The shape of is . The shape of is to prevent typhoon from destroying , which reflects the characteristics of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in different regions.
Scholars have also discovered that this stone platform is more consistent with the stone platform "Nanshan Zhuyu Map" by the doctor Han Shiguang in the Ming Dynasty . Based on the poem at the end of the volume of Shen Zhou's painting, it is speculated that , this stone platform should be an alchemy furnace called "dan stove", and pointed out that in the poems of the Song people, the alchemy stove often appears with the crane, symbolizing the Taoist method of health preservation. The alchemy stove technique was very popular among the secluded scholars and officials in the Song Dynasty and those who studied Taoism in the mountains and fields. "The Map of Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" here is probably the expression of on this trend.
isn’t it quite interesting to reason? This book avoids the pile of long-term historical materials, but uses slice explanations to let you get a knowledge point in 23 minutes. The carefully designed graphic and text mixing is unique and pleasing to the eye. The text uses comfortable and elegant special paper, which is delicate and warm, with excellent color expression and a first-class reading experience.
#Multi-angle illustration 74 famous paintings
string Chinese painting art spanning thousands of years
Chinese painting art is an endless treasure, from spring clouds float in the sky and flowing water in the land " spring silkworm silk spinning" drawing technique , to 1700 post-late Qing Dynasty magnificent and majestic jinshi , all of which exudes infinite charm. The author carefully interprets 74 masterpieces handed down from in chronological order, and builds the context of Chinese art history from the paintings.
" Female Historian's Proverbs " (partial), Eastern Jin Gu Kaizhi (Tang copy), color on silk, 24.37 cm in height, 343.75 cm in width,
Gu Kaizhi, the upper class of the local gentry in Jiangnan, is known as "excellent talent, excellent painting, and foolish ". He once learned from , Western Jin , a painter of , Wei Xie , and was very good at painting figures. His lines were like spring silkworms spinning silk, flowing clouds and flowing water. Later generations called it "Ancient gossip" . "The Picture of the Female Historian" should be based on the Western Jin Dynasty Zhang Hua "The Female Historian". "The Female Historian" is a female official responsible for the etiquette and education of the concubines, and "Prince" is a standard style of writing that advises the world. The so-called "The Female Historian" is a persuasive text that uses the mouth of the female official, which is likely to be the product of Zhang Hua's satirization of Queen Jia.
"Han Xizai Night Banquet Picture" (partial), (translation) Five Dynasties Gu Hongzhong, colored on silk, 28.7 cm in height and 335.5 cm in width,
Han Xizai repeatedly advised the Northern Expedition but failed, Southern Tang missed the opportunity. It was not until the Northern Song government became increasingly stable that the late ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu, asked Han Xizai to come out to help him turn the tide. Although Han Xizai knew it was too late, he could not refuse directly, so he indulged in wine and sex in the mansion every day, showing that he was embarrassed by his great responsibilities. Li Yu was half-believing and half-doubted, so he sent the then-court painters Gu Hongzhong, Zhou Wenju and others to Han Xizai's residence to draw his ridiculous state.
Modern scholars argue from the perspectives of records of painting history, furniture decoration in the pictures, and landscape painting methods of characters. They believe that this picture is Southern Song copy , , but this volume is still a fine in ancient figure paintings. After reading the figure paintings, let’s take a look at the flower and bird paintings.
" Sketching Rare Birds ", (Biography) Five Dynasties Yellow pendant, colored on silk, 41.5 cm in height and 70.8 cm in width,
"Sketching Rare Birds" should be from the beginning of the volume Liang Qingbiao reframed in the Qing Dynasty: "Sketching Rare Birds 日本". There are 24 , which are painted in various types of birds, insects, turtles, and 24 , with different angles, accurate dynamics and distinct characteristics. can clearly identify the biological species drawn. The Lishu "Fu Ziju Baoxi" in the lower left corner shows that is a painting of . Some scholars believe that this picture is meticulous and that has the nature of natural , which is not as naive as early as it should have been. From the perspective of drawing method, is likely to be late as during the period of Song Huizong.
The top of the head and throat of this bird are blue-purple, the back is red, the waist and abdomen are yellow, the central tail feather is special, and the beak is slender and curved. It should be a male blue-throated sunbird distributed in the mountains of southwest my country.
In traditional Chinese paintings, flower and bird paintings became popular in the Tang Dynasty and had a distinction between styles in the Five Dynasties. The history of painting is called " Huang Family Wealth and Honor , Xu Xi Wild and Easy". The Huang family mentioned here refers to the Huang Quan father and son of Western Shu. Their painting style inherits the exquisite and luxurious and complex and gorgeous of the court paintings of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Xize is a Southern Tang flower and bird painter who did not become an official . He "responsible for elegance" and painted "in the form of ink, and miscellaneous colors", which is simple and elegant.
The style of flower and bird paintings comes from the difference in the author's identity and status , which also proves that in this stage, flower and bird paintings have gradually deviated from the simple imitation of objects and entered the level of expressing one's aspirations through objects. And by , Ming Dynasty , flower and bird paintings have made new developments.
" ink grape picture ", Ming Xu Wei , ink on paper, 165.4 cm in height, 64.5 cm in width,
"Ink Grape Picture" is a representative work in Xu Wei freehand flower and bird painting . This picture is all drawn on raw paper, with a refreshing brush and a vivid ink color. From it, you can see the appearance of rice and Huang Yilu cursive learned. The top of the picture contains Xu Wei’s famous poem about painting : "Half a lifetime has become a man, and he is independent of the study and whistling the evening breeze. The pearls under the pen are nowhere to be sold, and I throw them into the wild vines."
Xu Wei learned painting and learned from his fellow literati Chen He , and dated Wumen painters Xie Shichen and Shen Shi . Influenced by the former wet stroke method, , and once regarded as a disciple of Wang Shouren, in his paintings, he was also influenced by mind learning , without seeking rules and pursuing personal liberation, incorporates cursive with a pen into freehand flower and bird painting .
Most of the paintings selected in the book are reliable works that are orderly circulated in the history of art. can roughly show the representative painting styles of various eras . These classic paintings are like "silent poems" and are still worth reading repeatedly. Perhaps, there will be new gains in this reading.
