Lan Ying was a famous painter in the late Ming Dynasty, who had a comprehensive range of techniques and liked to use decorative techniques to paint works that were appreciated by both elegant and popular. This "Zhilan ZhenXiu" is his later work, by depicting flowers and plants full of auspicious meanings, blessings for longevity, health, wealth and joy. There are Ganoderma lucidum, orchids, grass, hibiscus, green bamboo, Taihu stone, each of which has a special meaning, and it is a work of entertainment at a glance.
Painters are also ordinary people in life, need to socialize, need to communicate, need to show themselves at the same time, in the creation of content, creative techniques close to the public. As a famous artist, Lan Ying's creative attitude is quite serious, even if he paints a social work, he must show his superb technique and aesthetic taste.
Lan Ying Zhilan Zhenxiu
In her creation, Lan Ying skillfully uses the techniques of contrasting between Tibetan and dew, virtual and real, both the rigor of the brushwork and the freehand of freehand, expressing the natural beauty while pinning good wishes. In order to show the contrast, Lan Ying painted a Piece of Taihu Stone. Taihu stone, also known as cave stone, can increase the spatial level, and can also show the beauty that Lan Ying wants.
Popular is not equal to kitsch, full of blessings, but also can make people feel elegant and fresh. In order to achieve an unworldly effect, the use of color and contrast techniques has helped Lan Ying a lot. Leaving aside the color, let's just talk about the hidden and exposed, virtual and real he uses.

Some people say that the composition of Chinese painting is to establish contradictions and resolve contradictions. There is some truth to this statement, traditional painters do not express spatial perspective, so when expressing spatial changes, pay special attention to the relationship between levels. In "Zhilan ZhenXiu", Xuancao and orchid are at one level, and Taihu Stone and Ganoderma lucidum are at another level. There are only two levels, which are not enough to express spatial changes, so there is a third level seen through the Taihu Lake Cave.
There is a fourth level in the painting, that is, the place of infinity, which the painter replaces with a blank space. The four levels coexist, showing the fun of natural flowers and plants. No matter how much cultural meaning Lingzhi and orchids are given by literati and inkers, they are essentially life in nature. What Lan Ying needs to show is the vitality, he did it, and the work was established.
Therefore, there is an expression method that emphasizes spatial change, so there are specific methods such as hiding and revealing, virtual and real. Looking at the looming hibiscus in the painting, and then looking at the swaying bamboo leaves, the brilliance of life is forever left on the drawing paper.
Sometimes admiring a painting is like listening to a story. The painter is the narrator, and the viewer should be drawn to it at all times. What attracts it, of course, is skill plus content. Hiding and revealing, virtual and real are techniques, and they are also methods of expressing the structure of content. "Zhilan Zhenxiu" is obviously a tacky theme, with Lan Ying, with these creative techniques, everything becomes different.
Ganoderma lucidum, meaning longevity; orchid, meaning elegance; Xuancao, meaning family affection; hibiscus, meaning wealth; ink bamboo, meaning wind and bone... At first glance, this is a "hodgepodge". With hiding and dew, virtual and real, it becomes a beautiful blessing of elegance and freshness.
