Author: [Middle] Ma Jingjing
【You will hear】
1. Why is Gu Kaizhineng, whose painting proportions are not coordinated, called the first person in the history of Chinese painting?
2. How could Yan Liben, a human flesh camera whose painting skills were amazing, be pit by his own skills?
3. Why is the Song Dynasty called China's first "Renaissance"?
Although from the perspective of modern technical techniques, this painting is slightly naïve in terms of painting method, but it is a work of more than 1,500 years ago! Moreover, Chinese ink landscape painting also began to have a complete landscape painting style from this point on, and in serious calculation, Zhan Ziqian is definitely the teacher of all landscape painting painters.
Speaking of the Tang Dynasty, one famous painting that cannot be mentioned is "Step Map". This painting vividly recreates the historical scene of Lu Dongzan, an emissary sent by Songzan Gampo, to see Emperor Taizong of Tang. Songzan Gampo wanted to marry a Tang Dynasty princess, and Princess Wencheng went to Tubo, this time to protect the stability of the southwest region for more than two hundred years.
According to the current parlance, Wu Daozi was born as a "wild road", and he first learned to paint in the temple with old monks and some craftsmen responsible for carving, and painters who painted murals. Later, Wu Daozi took a different path and sought out the calligrapher Zhang Xu as a teacher, and learned a unique painting method from wild cursive calligraphy. He combined calligraphy and painting to create a new painting technique, "Orchid Leaf Drawing".
Wu Daozi expresses the folds of the characters' clothes through the inhibition and frustration of the pen, so that the line shape is like an orchid leaf, and even the teacher Zhang Xu is deeply impressed.
Later, Wu Daozi integrated the sculptural aesthetics he came into contact with when he was a child into his paintings, using the cooperation of thick lines and light ink to create shadows and sense of conflict, so that the flat paintings look more three-dimensional.
You may have heard the idiom "Wu Belt Dangfeng", which can be said to be the most vivid summary of Wu Daozi's painting style. Wu Daozi represents the highest level of Chinese white painting.
The Tang Dynasty also had a painter of the level of a grandfather, Wang Wei. Don't be surprised, Wang Wei is not only a poet, but also a very important painter, he pioneered Chinese literati painting.
Literati painting pays more attention to the self and the heart, there is poetry in the painting, and there is painting in the poem. This style of painting profoundly influenced the historical process of landscape painting.
Why did the Tang Dynasty painting style, which was full of ink and color, change its style when it came to Wang Wei? This has a lot to do with Wang Wei's repeated setbacks. I will not repeat the specific situation, anyway, after seeing through the ups and downs of life, Wang Wei in the painting, will no longer continue to use the color of "golden landscape", but first use ink lines to outline the outline, and then use light ink and thick ink rendering, with various levels of gray instead of stone green and ochre.
Later, the Tang Dynasty collapsed, and before the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was a period of chaos for more than fifty years. During this period, many talented and ambitious officials were either overthrown because of the chaotic regime, or depressed because they stood in the wrong line, and in the face of a dazed future, they had to banish themselves to the mountains and forests to find sustenance in the mountains and rivers. Like the hermits of the Wei and Jin dynasties, they farmed, wrote, and painted all their lives.
During this period, The real Chinese landscape painting was formally formed.
Among the many hermits, Jing Hao raised landscape painting to a new level, and it was he who created the "rubbing method". This technique provides an important basis for us to determine the age of ancient paintings. In all ancient Chinese landscape paintings, there are traces of "rubbing method", which must be paintings after five generations.
Jing Hao also spent his life painstakingly writing a "martial arts secret book" in the field of Chinese painting and calligraphy, "Notes on Brushwork", leaving many valuable painting techniques for posterity.
French sinologist Xie Henai said that the Song Dynasty was China's first Renaissance. This was due to the Northern Song Emperor Zhao Tuo.
In Chinese history, there is no shortage of emperors, but Song Huizong and Li Hou lords can't hate people, they are only eight buckets high, extremely talented, should be an indisputable artist, really not suitable to be an emperor.
Song Huizong was not a Ming Jun, but he was a painter, poet, calligrapher, and even an athlete. One of his most significant initiatives was to open the "Hanlin Academy of Drawings" and include painting in the imperial examination. He also sorted out the collection of calligraphy and paintings in the imperial palace and registered them in the register, named "Xuanhe Painting Notation".
Do you want to know what exquisite and beautiful paintings of flowers and birds this "emperor of art" painted? Do you want to know how to judge dynasties by looking at the lines on the silk with a magnifying glass? Do you want to know what the first painting in history was on paper?
I don't spoil too much, wait for you to see "Landscapes and Rivers Talk about Painting" in person.
