Yang Feng: The sunset in The ruins are lonely smoke
Huo Xiaohui
"The sun is setting in the past, and there is lonely smoke in the ruins." What a vast and gentle poetry!
You may wish to read the whole poem "Lianchuan Idle House Gift Pei XiuCaidi": "The cold mountains turn green, and the autumn water is babbling." Leaning on the cane outside the firewood door, the wind listens to the twilight cicadas. The sun sets over the head of the river, and there is lonely smoke in the ruins. Compound value received public opinion drunk, singing wildly before five willows. This poem written by Wang Wei to his friend Pei Di has thousands of emotions in its lightness.
Wang Wei is one of the several people above the peak of Tang Shifeng, a genius who became famous as a teenager and was a genius of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and his life had ups and downs, and after his splendor, he returned to tranquility. Yang Feng said that modern painters depict Wang Wei's poems, and there is always respect in their hearts. To understand a poet, there is no need to read his biography, it can also be said that the poet does not need a biography, and each of his poems is an expression of the state of mind, a trace of emotion, and to read his poems is to read his people.
Yuanchuan is Wang Wei's hermitage and the sacred garden of his creation. The so-called idle house is not a house where there is nothing to do. Idle, is a kind of breeze and moon feelings, after experiencing prosperity, with an indifferent heart to taste the landscape and the world. Yang Feng, who has just retired from the work of the Literary Association, has a personal understanding of "idleness": no trivial matters, no cases, quiet reading, relaxed in the creation of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is more sensitive to "beauty".
A batch of flower and bird painting sketches he has recently created are the products of "leisure", a stone, a lotus, a bunch of flowers, presented by clean and elegant pen and ink, both traditional and modern. There is a funny picture of "Smelling Incense", the protagonist of which is a big rooster, which is intently sniffing the tweed. Yang Feng said that once he went to Rizhao to participate in an activity, he was awakened by the fragrance of flowers in the early morning, followed the incense to find, found a blooming golden laurel outside the window, and couldn't help but turn around and smell it, which was really intoxicating. Drawing this picture is actually a state of recording one's own incense search and smell, but the image is transformed into a chicken. Haha, art is to have a feeling and hair, can be so free to convert and express, I, the person who looks at the painting, does not see Jin Gui, but also "smells the wind and sits with pleasure".
Speaking of "transformation", I also think of a number of famous artistic symbols such as the rolling eyes of the Bada Shanren's fish and Pan Tianshou's vulture. Yang Feng said that painters "write out their own pens", so painters, like poets, do not need to be passed on, and his works are endorsements. "Reading Li Bai's poems, do we still need to examine his origins?" Looking at the crippled painting, do you still need to gossip about his sexual orientation? Meaningless. ”
Poetry is the language of writing, painting is the language of pen and ink, the combination, cutting, and conversion of language are consistent, and Su Dongpo has the saying of "poetry and painting books are the same". In the creation of poetry and painting for many years, Yang Feng has constantly pondered the structure of poetry and painting: different tangible images, through the author's magical combination and cutting, give birth to an invisible meaning outside the image, which is the artistic conception. The combination of the ferry, the village, the sunset, and the cooking smoke depicts an extraordinary tranquility; the old trees of the dead vines and crows, the small bridges and flowing water people,the ancient road west wind and thin horses, the sunset in the west, rendering the ancient loneliness of the "broken intestines in the end of the world"..."To some extent, this is similar to the 'compatibility' of Chinese medicine, and the usual few herbs, combined together, have great effects. ”
Language masters must have the ability to be good at conversion, and what cannot be lacking is keen perception, spiritual sustenance and endless imagination. With a sensitive and free heart, poetry and painting are free, jumping, talking to trees, whispering with flowers, looking up at the stars, diving deep into the lake and sea, yesterday's dreams give today's poetry, the pines of the south mountains, the clouds of the north mountains blend into one picture... How vast the heart is, how far-reaching the mood can be. It is a pity that nowadays, many people who "see mountains to paint mountains, see trees to paint trees, and see telephone poles to draw poles" have become a disadvantage in painting boundaries by using technology to game. If there is no "heart" in the painting, what is the artistic conception?
Yang Feng said that the top literati and inkers in ancient times actually brought us a grand spirit of freedom and a delicate life experience, and in their works, they can see the vastness of the stars and the subtle waves of the heart. Let's just say Wang Wei, whether it is "bright moon pine light, Qingquan stone upstream", "the desert is lonely and straight, the long river sunset is round", or "the oblique sun shines on the ruins, the poor alleys cattle and sheep return" "The deserted city is lingudu, and the sunset is full of autumn mountains"... Who can resist this kind of fresh and dusty poetry? Excellent traditional culture deserves our respect and cherishing, and traditional cultural symbols must still be inherited and learned.
Figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, these three major painting disciplines of Chinese painting, Yang Feng has been involved in at present, and is most famous for landscapes. Little is known to readers about his self-written poems, which already have more than 600 poems. He said that there was a period of bitterness, but it accidentally opened the floodgates of poetry creation.
Yang Feng is a "reader-loving" and "calm painter" in the eyes of friends. In his "Wali Shuliao", we took up the tea cup, talked about poetry and painting, and in the midst of the tea fragrance, he suddenly recalled a sunset dusk like Wang Wei's poetry. "It was December 2, 1978, and I took a day's train ride to Jinan, about to start work, and the excitement was mixed with confusion, and that feeling is still unforgettable." After work, he was admitted to college, and after graduation, he engaged in cultural and artistic work, his experience was simple and clear, and in the past 43 years, Shaohua had not wasted time, and the spirit of exploration and the poetry of life had always been online. "Strictly speaking, a good painter must be a poet. He does not necessarily write poetry, but he cannot lack poetry, poetry, and poetic vision. With a poetic heart, a poem on the screen that is not titled has its own poetry, on the contrary, no matter how beautiful the poem on the title cannot be remedied. ”
Good tea clears the spirit and sleeps, and poetry and painting nourish the heart and dust. Before the "painting talk", Yang Feng's poetic painting creation has been carried out for the most part, and the "three far" composition is vast in time and space; it is clean and white, and the water waves are gentle. Just wait to use warm colors to smear a little color, and the hedge cottages see cooking smoke again.
