Jin Shi pen and ink literati people's hearts are | Wu Changshuo's "flower" world!

In the history of Chinese art, Wu Changshuo, whose "poetry, books, paintings, and prints" are all extinct, is an epoch-making figure.

He is a pioneer of Chinese Haipai art, together with Ren Bonian, Pu Hua, and Xugu, known as the "Four Great Masters of the Haipai school at the end of the Qing Dynasty", and the first president of Xiling Printing Society.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the imperial examination was gradually abolished, and the promotion path of literati students was no longer what it used to be. Many readers have shifted their gaze from the mountains and rivers to the flowers, birds, fishes and insects around them, and this change is both a change of mentality and confined to real life.

The Department of Flower and Bird Painting was a great success in the painting circle of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. As a painter, although Wu Changshuo learned to paint late and will show people after the age of forty, he is best at large-scale flowers. Today, let's take a look at the flowers written by Wu Changshuo.

plums

Wu Changshuo likes to paint plum blossoms, with the emotional sustenance of affection and attachment to writing. "The bitter railroad man Mei is a confidant, and it is a long skill to portray flowers." The lonely character of the plum blossom independent winter is a symbol of Wu Changshuo's self-comparison.

This picture is Wu Changshuo's fifty-nine-year-old work, which is the stage when his painting art is becoming more and more mature, but the brush is still beautiful, and it can still be seen that he was influenced by Ren Bonian and others, compared with Cangxiong in his later years, there is more clear and pure Songxiu.

Wu Changshuo's plum blossoms have their own unique features. He likes to express the old plum, the curved branches, like the iron bones of zhengzheng, which contrast strongly with the delicate flowers.

chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums are also common themes in Wu Changshuo's pen, including ink chrysanthemums, yellow chrysanthemums, red chrysanthemums, white chrysanthemums, etc., most of which are common varieties in the garden, with wild and natural forms, vigorous growth, or growth by stones, or accompanied by fences, reflecting the hidden poetry of "picking chrysanthemums and eastern hedges".

In addition, chrysanthemums often bloom in autumn, so they symbolize autumn, and September is often called the chrysanthemum month. Jiu is also homophonous with Jiu, so the use of chrysanthemums to symbolize longevity, painting chrysanthemums for the elderly He Shou is also one of the reasons why Wu Changshuo frequently painted chrysanthemums.

Wu Changshuo's middle-aged works have a cold and elegant tone, which is different from the rich and ancient presented in his later years. This painting was painted at the age of forty-three and is a masterpiece of his early years. In the painting, the lotus leaves are sprinkled with ink splashing method, outlining the veins of the leaves when the water is not dry, and the ink color changes. The contrast between black and white sets off the lightness and delicacy of the lotus flower, and the picture is ethereal and elegant, and the paper is cool.

The lotus flowers of Wu Changshuo's later years, on the basis of the quaint and fresh of the predecessors, the pen and ink highlight the grandeur, grandeur and majesty.

Jin Shi pen and ink literati people's hearts are | Wu Changshuo: A drum breaks through zhuyitong

Wu Changshuo (1844 ~ 1927), the first name of Jun, also known as Junqing, the word Changshuo, do not sign Cangshi, Cangshi, more than other names, common people are Cangshuo, Lao Cang, Lao Miao, Tao Daoren, Bitter Iron, Broken Lotus Pavilion Chief, Five Lakes Yin Cai, Great Deaf and so on. He is a giant of modern and contemporary "Haipai" art, and the first president of Hangzhou Xiling Printing Society.

Wu Changshuo self-rated artistic achievements, gold stone is greater than calligraphy, calligraphy is greater than painting. In the world of calligraphy and painting, when everyone talks about Wu Changshuo, they will definitely think of Shi Guwen; when it comes to Shigu wen, they will also think of Wu Changshuo.

What exactly is Shi Guwen?

I don't know if you remember that in the first episode of "National Treasures", there was a stone drum that could be called "China's first antiquity". What the hell is this? How does it relate to the Stone Drum Text?

They are stones of the pre-Qin period, because the shape is thin and thick, the top is slightly round, like a drum, it is called a stone drum. The stone drum text, as the name suggests, is the text carved on the stone drum, which is a kind of text that transitions from a large seal to a small seal.

Jin Shi pen and ink literati people's hearts are | Wu Changshuo Calligraphy and Painting Seal Engraving Art Exhibition

Since ancient times, the stone drum text has been cherished by the world, so it shines through the ages and flows through the ages. The stone drum text is carved on 10 drum-shaped granite stones, and the stone is hard. Each stone drum is engraved with a poem of four words, which is a song about the hunting of ancient emperors, so it is also called "hunting exhaustion".

Why is Shi Guwen loved by Jinshi artists?

From a historical point of view, Shi Guwen praised the great historical deeds of the ancestors and the first emperors who made great contributions to the historical development of the Qin people. Singing both the past and the present, using poetry to depict a vivid historical picture of the entrepreneurial development of the Qin people.

From an artistic point of view, Shi Guwen is also the favorite of countless Jinshi artists. The chapter method of the stone drum text is basically vertical and horizontal orderly, the pattern is clear, simple and dignified, dignified and generous, the structural proportion of each word is roughly the same, and the word spacing and the line spacing are roughly equal, giving people a noble and solemn, solemn and colorful feeling. The Shigu script paved the way for the further development of the seal book, and also laid a solid foundation for the "book and text" policy implemented by Qin after unifying the whole country, which was the "matrix" of Qin Shi Huang's unification of Chinese characters.

What did Wu Changshuo learn from Shi Guwen?

Calligraphers and painters regard Shiguwen as an important nutrient of their own calligraphy art, and then integrate it into their own calligraphy and painting art. Wu Changshuo, an outstanding master of art in the late Qing Dynasty, looked at the first generation with poetry, calligraphy and painting. His seal book is a model for the good study and good use of the "Stone Drum Text", and he has been attentive to this all his life, and has the reputation of "one drum to write through all the arts", he once said: "Yu Xue seal is good to come to the "Stone Drum", and has been engaged in this for decades, and there is a realm of one day a day. The influence of Shiguwen can be seen in other artistic creations after him, including calligraphy and painting.

This axis was written by Wu Changshuo when he was 83 years old for Sha Menghai, and belongs to his late years. Wu Changshuo's calligraphy creation is based on the "Stone Drum Text", which is accompanied by the seal writing style of other Golden Stone cultural relics, and in his later years, he was especially immersed in the study and copying of the "Stone Drum Text". This painting is "linqi is not in shape", strange and clumsy, full of gold and stone atmosphere, which is a typical calligraphy feature of his later years.

The stones in the painting are in a convergent trend, just like the calligraphic characteristics of the stone drum text, the arc of the opposite direction, the end of the line converges inward, the middle has an outward tension, the shape is round, full, and the sense of volume is grand and thick.

Jin Shi pen and ink literati people's hearts are | Wu Changshuo Calligraphy and Painting Seal Engraving Art Exhibition

Many of the branches that appear in Wu Changshuo's freehand flowers are like wooden sticks standing in the painting, hard and powerful, like cast iron, which may be related to the fact that the lines of the stone drum are mostly straight lines, or it may be related to Wu Changshuo's perennial seal engraving.

Jin Shi pen and ink literati people's hearts are | Wu Changshuo Calligraphy and Painting Seal Engraving Art Exhibition

If the leaves of the flowers in the painting are removed and only the branches are looked at, the structural main line of the flower painting is also quite similar to the internal structure of the stone drum text.

"Painting and seal law can be merged, deep thinking and solipsism only go alone", admiring Wu Changshuo's paintings is not only limited to the specificity of things, but also needs to experience its charm abstraction, which is also where freehand painting is different from realistic painting, and it is also the most difficult to express freehand painting. The brilliance of Wu Changshuo's paintings is also here.

Shi Guwen has undoubtedly been integrated into Wu Changshuo's blood and reflected in his paintings, which is also the thickness, condensation and strength we feel when we look at his paintings.

Wu Changshuo has a lot of nicknames in his life, and in addition to other names, there are also some "self-metaphors" that are also quite interesting. Today we have selected some from Wu Changshuo's self-metaphors and nicknames, let's talk about it

Wu Changshuo - "Sour Cold Lieutenant"

Wu Changshuo was born in 1844 in Wucun, Anji, Zhejiang Province, and died in Shanghai in 1927 at the age of 84. However, it is because of the long volume of Chinese modern painting art that ends an era.

"Acid Cold Lieutenant Statue" Ren Bo Nian

This is a portrait of the great painter Ren Bonian for Wu Changshuo, wearing a red hat with no top button and wearing a sunflower yellow official robe, he has just returned from a business trip, the robe has not been taken off, arched his sleeves, and has not yet had time to wipe his sweat. This shabby picture was seen by Ren Bonian, so there was this heirloom. Wu Changshuo himself also found it funny, and while he was amused, he thought of his life of being poor and destitute, and his sorrow came from it, and he titled "Sour Cold Lieutenant" to laugh at himself.

He also painted plum blossoms, but he painted plum blossoms as big as wine cups, some people ridiculed him, the painter was not ashamed, but extended the brush wider, so we saw this full peach, gorgeous peony, sweet lychee, and fresh cabbage, people in his melons, fruits and vegetables, see a thousand years of Chinese painting history, a new life, a new emotion.

Wu Changshuo - "Bitter Iron"

Historians pointed out that in this era of tight literary network and ideological rule, scholars could only avoid contact with actual politics. As a result, academic art is good and ancient, and Jin Wen Yi Ding and Qin brick and Han tile have become popular.

The entry of gold stones into printing, books and paintings has become the characteristic of the era of seal engraving art in Qing Dynasty calligraphy and painting.

Wu Changshuo has been a good stone since childhood. At the age of fourteen, he began to treat India "and India is not separated from the day". In fact, Wu Changshuo was first and foremost written in the world.

When he was a child, his family was cold, Shi Zhang picked up from the creek in front of the village, or practiced on square brick tiles, and the carving knife was made of scrap iron or nails, and only time was rich. Later he named himself "Bitter Iron".

When Wu Changshuo carved the stone seal, he entertained himself with stone all his life.

Wu Changshuo - "Cangshi"

Wu Changshuo was fifteen or sixteen years old and engaged to the Zhang clan of a neighboring village.

In the spring of 1860, the Taiping Army hit Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the betrothed Zhang shi was sent to the Wu family by his family, but before he could get married, his hometown of Wu wu had become a battlefield. Seventeen-year-old Wu Changshuo fled with his father, and the family was left with foot-binding female relatives who could not escape, and Zhang Shi took the initiative to stay and take care of her mother-in-law.

Once Wu Changshuo took refuge in a cave, for several days there was no food, there was nothing around but stones, fortunately the surrounding villagers were able to survive, in gratitude for this kindness, he also named himself "Cangshi".

After the Taiping Army was pacified, Wu Changshuo returned to his hometown, which had long since changed its face. Of the nine members of the Wu clan, except for him and his father who fled, the other seven people have all died.

Hometown has become a sad place of ten rooms and nine empty, Wu Changshuo left, he opened a piece of land on the edge of the county town, thinking that his livelihood, "although the hometown is not far away, the change of land is also sad."

Wu Changshuo studied hard for ten years in this Banmu Garden, which he called "Wuyuan", and planted melons and vegetables on weekdays, and planted 30 plum blossoms. He began to paint, and the beginning of the painting was the plum blossom, which had a cold and bitter fragrance, and he commemorated the unmarried lady with the plum blossom.

After "Bitter Railway Man Mei Confidant", Wu Changshuo's life was marked by quaint and cold plum blossoms and simple and rough stones, and he also called Cangshi all his life.

Jin Shi pen and ink literati people's hearts are | Wu Changshuo Calligraphy and Painting Seal Engraving Art Exhibition

In his later years, Wu Changshuo's "Bright Moon Predecessor" engraved the back of Zhang's back as the edge of the seal, and only printed it on the plum blossoms he painted.

Wu Changshuo - "Old Man"

"Parents are here, not far away."

In 1868, his father, who had fled with Wu Changshuo, died of illness. He was the only one left in the family of nine. At the age of twenty-five, Wu Began to travel.

A piece of luggage, a box of broken books, began to look for teachers and friends, this is his life's famous "study tour", "eunuch", "art seller" and "guest" career. Not only to support the family, but also for the artistic feelings that have sprouted, but also to win the fame of the career.

Wu Changshuo often said that he "hated not reading much in his life" In Hangzhou, he took Yu Fan as a teacher, laid the literary foundation for calligraphy and painting, and in Huzhou, he also worked as an assistant to Lu Xinyuan, a collector of ancient books and gold stones. During his years of study tour, he made a group of learned teachers and friends.

In 1882, he met an antique dealer, in China's traditional "scholar farmers, industrialists and merchants", the merchant is the last. However, Wu Changshuo showed rare respect for the merchant and wrote the four characters of "Dao in Wa", and as a result, the antique dealer introduced Wu Changshuo as a confidant, and in gratitude to Wu Changshuo, he gave a precious ancient silk as a gift.

Wu Changshuo called the study "缶庐", the most commonly used number in calligraphy and painting is "Lao Miao", and he himself is called "缶翁".

Wu Changshuo's Golden Stone Art

Wu Changshuo's achievements in seal engraving have epoch-making significance for the art of seal engraving in the mainland, mainly because he melted poetry, books, paintings and prints into a furnace to open up a new realm of seal engraving art. His achievements are mainly derived from the cultivation and thinking of art, which are embodied in:

Poetry melts in print. He likes to write poems with "hard words to burst in" and engrave with "blunt knives to hard in".

The book melts in print. His seal book has a strong personality, the words in the print have a penmanship, and the knife is integrated into the pen. Therefore, his seal engraving often shows the characteristics of majestic and charming, clumsy and simple, ugly and beautiful (this "ugly" is mainly in "broken"), ancient and modern (like ancient seals is new), and change and positive (change is more and more in line with the formal).

To this day, there are still many people who study Wu Changshuo's seal carving.
