The pride and ambition of Jiangnan literati, Dai Shuoshi painted "Autumn Rock Evening Green"

Zeng Guofan wrote a poem with an inscription, the last of which is "for the sake of repaying the youth, micro-poetry Shu Yi Cang". Zeng Guofan was a heavy minister of the late Qing Dynasty, and the painters he liked were certainly not idle people. The famous artist who deserves his pen to write inscriptions and poems is the Jiangnan literati Dai Alcoholshi, who was an official in the same dynasty as him. What impressed Zeng Guofan and made him full of respect for Dai Alcohol, perhaps after reading this "Autumn Rock Evening Cui", he will understand.

There is a large mountain shaped like a screen, guarding a small river, several ancient trees, and a house. The mountain is tall and tall, and the pen is calm and old. Dai Alcohol, a literati, painted the atmosphere of "Hao Dang". Haodao and Haodao are one meaning, which originally meant unfettered and free. In Dai's paintings, Hao Gong has a second meaning, guarding the magnificent righteousness between heaven and earth.

Dai Alcoholshi was a native of Qiantang, who entered the Shi during the Daoguang years, entered the Hanlin Temple, and served as a waiter. Later, Dai Yushi returned to his hometown and opened a museum to teach and study calligraphy and painting. From the analysis of painting style, "Autumn Rock Evening Green" belongs to the late works of Dai Alcohol. For example, the lines in the painting are full of power and change, and without years of accumulation, this effect cannot be presented. Coupled with the exquisite rendering of ink color, it creates a lonely and desolate pen and ink atmosphere.

The few dead trees in the painting, with mottled moss dots, reflect the unique aesthetic taste of Dai Alcohol's attempt to find vitality in the desolate environment. Cold, high cold, dust, if only such a single theme is expressed in "Autumn Rock Evening Green", it is inevitable that it will seem a little boring. What is valuable is that Dai Ols emphasizes the beauty of transcendence in his creation, and does not necessarily exclude vitality. The vitality is the qi of haoran and the righteous qi of heaven and earth. This is the chicness of "Autumn Rock Evening Green", which makes this painting feel different.

Dai was a man of letters, and he firmly believed in Mencius's proposition that "I am good and nurture my mighty spirit." The mountain in the painting represents this magnificent atmosphere, the momentum of Zhengda and uprightness, which makes people believe that they can be sheltered by the landscape.

If you look at this painting and feel at ease, then you feel the intention of Dai Alcohol.

Dai Alcohol used "Autumn Rock Evening Cui" to justify the name of the literati painter, and the four words "painting like his person" are as heavy as a thousand jun. Among the literati, there are heroes like Wen Tianxiang who praise righteousness, and among the literati painters there are also such a heroic and ambitious husband as Dai Alcohol.

According to historical records, when the Taiping Army conquered Qiantang, Dai Alcohol committed suicide. He chose to guard his spiritual world, like the mountain in the painting. After Dai's death, the nickname "Wenjie" seems to explain the tenacity in his bones. He is not painting landscapes, but his backbone.
