Orthodoxy, at first glance, is the mainstream. The Wild Yi Sect clearly reveals the meaning of the niche. Orthodox and wild yi faction confrontation, what can be good to see? The fact is not as simple as imagined, and the controversy between the sects in the painting world directly led to the development of Painting in the Qing Dynasty. These two schools of painting, due to their different ideas, have sparked confrontations. In the competition, it influenced the painting creation of the Qing Dynasty and even modern times.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty came from Outside Guanwai, and in order to maintain their rule, they actively studied the culture of the Central Plains. The calligraphy of these emperors from Shunzhi to Qianlong is good, and there are also unique features in art appreciation. For example, Kangxi liked magnificent landscapes, Yongzheng liked to let people paint portraits of him, and Qianlong liked to decorate flowers and birds with strong flavor.
On the basis of antiques, Orthodox painters strive to get close to the aesthetic orientation of the royal aristocracy and form a painting style that emphasizes the spirit of pen and ink and emphasizes the sense of form. The representative painters of the Orthodox School are represented by the Four Kings of the Early Qing Dynasty, and some people feel that they must also join Yun Shouping and Wu Li, totaling six master painters.
Yun Shouping Wang Yi cooperated with Shanshui
The four most famous painters of the Yeyi school in the early Qing Dynasty were collectively known as the "Four Monks of the Qing Dynasty", and they all had a common characteristic, they all had monastic experience, and they all wanted to avoid the scourge of war. They have a contemptuous attitude towards the powerful in their bones, which makes them pay more attention to personality expression in their creations.
If you ask who among the four monks is the most famous, there are different views at different stages. For example, in the early Qing Dynasty, the painting world recognized the highest achievements of the Eight Mountain People. After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it was widely believed that Shi Tao was the head of the four monks.

The so-called contest does not refer to the use of force to fight, but refers to the different artistic concepts of the two schools of painters, resulting in a huge difference in style. Shi Tao in the Yeyi school and Wang Yuanqi in the orthodox school met privately, and they also cooperated in creation. If there is any dissatisfaction, there will be no intersection. In order to illustrate the difference between orthodoxy and the wild yi school, it is still a comparison of works.
Wang Yi Tang poetic intent
Wang Yi's works pay attention to the literati Fage. Take the techniques of famous artists, retain the characteristics of famous artists, look quiet and elegant, and also exude beauty. He was particularly concerned about whether he looked good and could not get rid of formalism. Wang Yi once participated in the creation of the "Kangxi Southern Tour Map" and was crowned by the royal family as a "painting saint". So he became a representative of the Orthodox painters, with countless followers behind him.

Similarly painting landscapes, Shi Tao's works look more natural and have no obvious sense of form. He felt that he should not be limited to the studio to engage in creation, but should see the real mountains and rivers, and write about the heavens and the earth. This concept of creation is not shi Tao's first, but he is really practicing this concept. The angle of pitch combined, both panorama and detail, realism and artistic processing appear at the same time. The teacher's method is natural, and after reading Shi Tao's works, he understands it.
Orthodox painters were attached to rulers, and Yeyi paintings ignored the imperial court. This spirit is reflected in the creation, and there is also a figurative expression. For example, bada mountain people like to paint "roll their eyes", Calvary likes to paint rugged cliffs, and Hongren likes to paint lonely and cold mountains. Uninhibited and loving nature, he became the label of the wild yi school painters. Yangzhou Eight Monsters learned the style of the Wild Yi School of famous artists, making Yangzhou painters famous.

I don't know how to be flexible, I only know stylized imitation. When the four kings died in the early Qing Dynasty, their followers became more and more lazy. They are in the mainstream position, do not want to forge ahead, let the tradition become the "roadblock" on the road to innovation, let the flash point in traditional painting disappear. Fortunately, with the competition of the Yeyi School, traditional painting has retained a glimmer of life.
After watching the contest between the two art genres, who wins and who loses, everyone has the answer in mind. Competition is not necessarily a bad thing, for artistic creation, the competition of techniques, styles, and concepts can promote the development of art.
