Recently, I started a print called "Bodhisattva Man", which was composed by the master of Chinese painting Dai Dunbang.
At first glance, the painting style is the early style of Dai Dunbang, realistic, exquisite, and delicate in human objects.
Dai Dunbang painting "Bodhisattva Man"
In the picture, we can see a beautiful girl looking down to pick up her shoes, surrounded by a patch of peony flowers, dotted with rockeries.
The right path is: everyone and the flowers are beautiful, the flowers are beautiful, and the youth is just right.
So why did she take her shoes off?
There is also a historical anecdote about this issue.
The mystery of the beauty taking off her shoes in the painting
Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was very famous in the altar of words, and he had no intention of ruling the country, chanting the wind and the moon, and hurting the spring and the autumn.
He wrote the words "Bodhisattva Man":
The dark cage of the bright moon is light and foggy, and it is good to go to Lang's side this evening.
Socks step incense steps, hand-held golden shoes.
Seeing the south bank of the painting hall, I have always been snuggled and trembling.
It is difficult for slaves to come out, and the gods are merciful.
The poem is beautifully written and is a young girl's self-description:
"The moon is hazy, the flowers are shining, such a beautiful night, I want to find my lover." I wore only socks and shoes to the senior clubhouse, and when I saw you, I threw myself into your arms, and my body trembled... It's not easy for me to come out, but tonight you should 'love' me well (seventy-two words are omitted here)"
When Dai Dunbang was conceiving the painting, he directly grasped the white painting language "socks step incense steps, hand carrying golden shoes", and then vividly painted the action of the beauty lifting shoes. He deeply felt that Li Yu's fall to the country was self-inflicted, but he was too talented but too obsessed with fengyue. These tips have been mentioned in his "Detun BangTu Say Poetic Feelings".
The Dai Dun Bang Tu Says Poetic Sentiments also chose this bodhisattva man
Why did Lord Li Hou write about a woman secretly meeting a lover? It's inexplicable.
It turned out that this song was about the scene of his pre-marriage meeting with Xiao Zhouhou.
Li Hou lord had two empresses, After the Great Zhou, the decathlon, the talent was double-perfect, Li Yu liked her very much, but she later grew older and became ill again, and at this time Li Yu saw her sister, Zhou Jiamin, which was the later Xiao Zhou Hou.
Zhou Jiamin is 15 years younger than Da Zhou Hou, and her appearance is not at all inferior to that of Da Zhou Hou when she was younger.
Li Yu also wrote a poem "Bodhisattva Man" before recording his first meeting with Zhou Jiamin:
The Penglai Courtyard is closed to the roof of the woman, and the painting hall sleeps without a word. Throw the pillow green cloud light, embroidered clothes smell strange.
Sneaking beads lock moving, hate the silver screen dream. The face is slow and smiling, and the look is infinite.
Li Yu went to the rooftop to see her, she was sleeping, but the beauty was suffocating, so Comrade Li Yu's eyes were straight, and he immediately turned into a big pig's trotter. He wanted to ask her out, so he arranged it in the famous Red Luo Pavilion, but at that time, after the big week, he was still in the human world, and it was not easy to mess around, so he had to secretly meet.
This is why the beautiful woman in the painting carries her shoes. Sneaky meeting, of course, to avoid footsteps, can not alarm others, otherwise the brother-in-law and sister-in-law in the pavilion what, let the sister on the sickbed know, why bother?
She died at the age of 28 after the big week, in fact, she was lucky.
Later, Xiao Zhouhou and Li Yu's happy days were not long. Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, took the throne, coveted Xiao Zhouhou's beauty, and destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and from then on Xiao Zhouhou became Lao Zhao's plaything.
There are wild history records that Xiao Zhouhou's body is slender, and Old Zhao is a fat black and thick man, who abused her not lightly. Every time he went out to see Li Yu, Xiao Zhou scolded.
Later, in order to completely possess Xiao Zhou, Lao Zhao put Li Yu to death.
A month after Li Yu's death, Xiao Zhou also committed suicide.
Looking back at this painting now, I believe that you will have different feelings about this woman who is full of excitement, excitement and expectation, and blooms like a peony flower.
About this collection
The painting I bought, made of rice paper, is 42cm *42cm, which is large enough to mount the frame and hang it at home, and enjoy it step by step.
Limited edition of 500 copies with a certificate of collection. The printing quality of the collection certificate is very poor, the picture is printed so finely, and the certificate is so crotch-pulling, which is incredible.
Please note that these are copies of the original manuscript, the investment value is definitely far worse than the original manuscript, and it can theoretically be reprinted even if it is sold out one day, which is not as good as NFT. However, as a decoration in the home, or hoping to get a glimpse of the original manuscript at zero distance, you can consider starting.
At present, Mr. Dai Dunbang has authorized the production of a lot of printmaking micro-spray products, which can be found in Taobao auctions or idle fish, and the general starting price ranges from 1 yuan to several hundred yuan, and it is theoretically impossible to pick up leaks at 1 yuan.
The precision of this painting is extremely high, and even if you look at it with a magnifying glass, it does not have a grainy feeling. Because it uses micro-spray technology, this technology is commonly used in various art exhibitions, and the visual effect is by no means comparable to ordinary prints in printing shops and printing plants.
Partial close-up, tiny
When received, it is a roll, there is a layer of yellow paper wrapped to simply protect against dust, when it is drawn out, it curls up badly, spreads out and presses the four corners to take things, and after a while it will automatically become flat.
This painting looks like it has just been polished, and the pen and ink are fresh and moving.
At present, there are many copies of such micro-spray original manuscripts, including dai lao's famous 79 editions of the Red Chamber illustrations, Water Margin novel illustrations, and Tang poems and Song Ci series, all of which make me salivate. There are also many other post-productions, but they are not within my consideration.
"Royal Street Line" simulation effect
The above "Royal Street Line" I have also taken a picture, on the logistics road.
Red Chamber, Water Margin series
The Red Chamber and the Water Margin are all classics of the early days of wearing the old, neat and delicate, and the color is either bright or simple, which is interesting.
Long Hate Song Selection Page
There is also the famous "Long Hate Song" page selection, each page is beautiful. Jiu Xuan has published the "Long Hate Song" comic strip, and the production is also good, but there is still a gap between the appreciation effect and the large-scale micro-spray painting copied at the level of the original manuscript.
