Dayu "New Fuchun Mountain Residence Map"
Chinese have a dream of becoming an immortal in the depths of their hearts, which is probably inextricably linked to Taoism. Immortals are often in the mountains and rivers, and the place where they live is called wonderland. Finding the wonderland in the heart is a big goal of traditional Chinese painting, of course, this is a personal point of view.
By chance, I had the opportunity to see Dayu's work "New Fuchun Mountain Residence", which used black and white to construct the wonderland in the author's heart, and had to sigh the magic of Chinese painting. The endless mountains are far and near, and between the near and far mountains are filled with looming white clouds, and the immortals are in this cloud and mountain. At this time, there is a poem that may be able to accurately write such a mood, "Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and unknown." "Mountains are the yearning of Chinese hermits, and Taoism and Buddhism are also mostly inhabited, perhaps because mountains are closer to heaven, or perhaps ancient China was more war-torn, and mountains gave Chinese a sense of security."

There are mountains and natural water, Chinese pay attention to heaven and earth, not only immortal qi, but also fireworks. And water conservancy of all things, nourishing all things in the world, bringing people harvest and happiness. In the "New Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", there are three or three small boats in the middle of the mountain, which are clearly visible and the meaning of the expression is obvious. There is water between the mountains, and there are people at the water's edge, which can also be understood as immortals. People make the world lively, and immortals are even more desirable. Whether it is a person or a fairy, it makes the painting have a sense of movement and thought, and it is no longer a quiet place for mountains and water.
Traditional Taoists pursue the tranquility between mountains and rivers, so they live in the landscape, absorb the spirit of landscape and water, and live with the ethereal of immortals. And in this long volume of landscape and water, between the large blank space and the mountains and waters of appropriate benefits, the looming dwellings, and the small boats, all reveal the word quiet. There are only mountains in the world, only water, only clouds, and the struggle between people has been resolved by the mountains and rivers, leaving only the mountains and green water. Mr. Dayu also inscribed the first half of his painting "Sleepwalking in Heaven and Leaving Farewell", "Feet on Xie Gong's shoes, the body climbs the Qingyun Ladder." I think this sentence just reflects the wonderland in Chinese heart and the spiritual pursuit of Chinese.
However, Chinese is realistic, and immortals are unattainable. Therefore, the pastoral seclusion life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern leaves and leisurely seeing the South Mountain" is the way of life pursued by more people. Traditional Chinese landscape paintings basically have this sustenance. "New Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is no exception, and also reflects the author's spiritual pursuit. The name Da Yu can reflect the hermit spirit of Chinese and conform to The Chinese idea of modesty. Although today, we live in cities made of reinforced concrete, and are influenced by the world every day, this does not prevent people from thinking deeply about the landscape.
Inscription
Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty distributes flat boats. Traditional Chinese landscape painting is the best interpretation of this poem. Today, Mr. Dayu brought us the "New Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", which once again brought us back to the wonderland with mountains and waters, so that the restless hearts of modern people can be quiet and sustenance. Mountains have clouds and mystery, mountains have water and beauty, and people between mountains and rivers have vitality. "New Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is a painting worth stopping for a long time to taste and carefully consider, and it is also the soul work of Mr. Dayu, which pins the essence of traditional thought Chinese.
