Today is Mother's Day. From ancient times to the present, "mother" as a beautiful image has appeared in various works of art. From the "Houmu Peng" Da Fangding excavated from the Yin Ruins in Anyang, Wang Xizhi's "Aunt Post" and "Uncle Mother Post", to the contemporary feng zikai and Lin Fengmian's paintings with the mother as the protagonist, different works depict the universal image of the mother, which also reflects the life of different eras.
On the occasion of Mother's Day, the "Surging News Art Review" saw the mother's love and dedication through these paintings and calligraphy, as well as people's obedience and respect for the mother.
Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May every year, and 2022 coincides with May 8th.
In fact, Xuancao has always been known as the "mother flower" in China, and the ancients called it the forgetful grass. The image of Chinese mothers has always been great, but it needs to be more clearly defined to highlight the subjectivity of Chinese culture, and it is not unreasonable to have recently advocated Nüwa or Meng Mu as the image representative of Chinese Mother's Day. There are countless works that have been sung and highlighted by motherhood throughout the ages, highlighting the greatness of motherhood.
Interestingly, different languages around the world, the pronunciation of "mama", have appeared magical interlingual homology. Whether it is the Indo-European language family represented by English, French, Spanish, and Hindi, or the Sino-Tibetan language family represented by Chinese, or the Japanese and Korean languages in the Semitic language family and isolated languages, they are basically similar. In the final analysis, the physiological structure of modern human beings is the same, all races and cultural backgrounds of infants, the vocal tract has not yet developed, there is a stage of inarticulate in the learning period, the sound can be limited, "mama" is often the first sound that can be made, and it is also the simplest sound. This is a combination of a bilabial consonant/m/ and the simplest vowel/a/. Newborn babies are born with two skills, one is howling and crying, the other is sucking. The binocular sounds match their well-developed lip muscles, as well as their underdeveloped tongue. The child's first caregiver, the gentle protector, is called mama, and the mother in turn imitates the child's child's language, and the child further associates the syllable of ma with the mother in front of him.
"Female" is a hieroglyph. The oracle's "mother" and "female" characters are similar, both are a kneeling woman, the difference is that the word "mother" adds two dots to the word "female", the position is exactly on the chest, very vividly highlighting that this is a mother nursing a baby. According to the Explanation of the Commentaries on the Interpretation of Texts, "Mother, Muya." From the female, like a scaffold shape. A like a also. Duan Yu cut note: "Mother, Mu Ye." Take the overlapping rhyme as a lesson. Shepherds, cattle breeders also. Take the milk of man. The extension and the enlightenment of all those who can be born are called mothers. From female. It is like a scab. 褱,袌也。 Like two-handed hakama also. One is like a also. Guangyun leads to Cangjie yun. There are two points, like human milk. ”
Among the ancients, there was also the word "妣" that could be used as another name for "mother", and it was written in the Erya Shiqin: "The father is the examination, and the mother is the concubine." With the development of the times, the word "妣" gradually shrank in meaning after the Tang Dynasty, specifically referring to the deceased mother. The original meaning of "mother" is mother, such as the "Book of Poetry And Shao Feng" Yun: "There are seven sons, do not comfort the mother's heart". The word "mother" was later extended to refer to the roots, such as the mother tongue, alma mater, etc., emphasizing importance. In the daily interaction of Chinese, there are more titles with the word "mother", which refers to female elders. Nowadays, two-syllable words need to be added, such as grandmother, aunt, aunt, mother-in-law, aunt, teacher, etc.
Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Xizhi's "Aunt Thesis"
"Shusheng" Wang Xizhi has "Aunt Ti" and "Uncle Mother Ti" passed down. The "Auntie Post" wrote: "On the thirteenth day of November, Xi Zhi Dun shou and Dun Shou. Aunt Qiao mourned, mourned and destroyed, and could not help herself. Whatever! Because of the anti-tragic congestion, not times. Judging from the post, after Wang Xizhi suddenly got the bad news from his aunt, his mood was very sad, and he couldn't even take care of normal affairs. The penmanship is simple, rounded and vigorous, and the knots are broad, thick and dignified. Because of the tendency of the asana style, the style of writing is quite different from the various facsimiles of Wang Xizhi, and most commentators believe that this post is xizhi's early work. Judging from the meaning of the text, the "Auntie's Post" seems to be unreadable and needs further consideration. Judging from the brushwork and glyphs, it is already a new style, flowing with clouds and flowing water, and it is elegant and elegant.
Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Xizhi's "Uncle Mother's Post"
The "Houmu Peng" Da Fang Ding is the largest bronze artifact in the world that has been found so far. It was originally interpreted as "Simu E". The inner wall of the abdomen casts these three characters, the font gesture is strong, the shape is plump, the strokes start and end more exposed, and the fat pen is used intermittently. There are two theories: one is that "Si" reads "祀", "Mother E" is the temple number of the mother of The Shang King Wending, and Ding is the temple number cast by Wending for the sacrifice of the mother; the other is said to be "Si" meaning "Hou", indicating that the tomb owner was the "Queen" of the Shang King before his death. In 1976, the tomb of the Empress Dowager Xinding was excavated in an anyang Yin Ruins, and the shape, ornamentation and inscription style were consistent with those of the Shang Empress Dowager Pengding. Shi Zai was the queen consort of Wu Ding, the King of Shang. The Shang Queen Mother Peng Ding is a sacrifice vessel made by the Shang King Zu Geng or Zu Jia to sacrifice mother Peng. In this way, the first word is not "division" but "rear". The "stepmother" here is not the "stepmother" in the usual sense.
Qing Kangtao's "Meng Mu Broken Machine Godson Diagram" collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing
In Chinese culture, idioms about "mother", such as regenerating parents, food and clothing parents, entong parents, reborn parents, motherly world, mother with children, virtuous wives and good mothers, mothers and filial piety, etc., have obvious meanings of attention. Also impressive is the story of the "Four Great Virtuous Mothers", of which Meng Mu moved three times and was loyal to the country, and the painting of Hagi godson and the amputation of Yanbin were strangers, the former was Ouyang Xiu, and the latter was the mother of Tao Kan in the Jin Dynasty. The most influential is the story of "Mengmu Three Migrations", according to which Kang Tao of the Qing Dynasty painted the "Mengmu Broken Machine Godson Diagram". Looking at this painting, Meng Mu stood sideways next to the loom, with her left finger machine and her right hand holding a knife, with a solemn expression, as if she was teaching. The author inscribed in a book of letters about the content of Meng's mother's three choices of neighbors and broken machine godsons in the "Biography of the Daughters of Lie": "Mencius was afraid, studied diligently day and night, and thought of the teacher, and became the name of Confucianism in the world." The gentleman said that Meng Mu knew the way of motherhood. Shi Yun: 'Son of the Other, why tell him?' This is also true. This is exactly the "Meng Mother Godson" chapter. In the lower right of the picture, Mencius faces his mother, bows his hand, and stands respectfully, his focused expression contains obedience and respect for his mother. After listening to it, after some thought, after diligent study and hard reading, it will eventually become a generation of sub-saints. The inscription is a standard pavilion, which means that its "pavilion" is a rigorous appearance and has no craftsmanship. As far as the painting technique is concerned, there is nothing special, simple and natural, the use of lines is skilled, the character image is simple and beautiful, the use of cyan on the turban of the mother and son duo and the use of cinnabar on the shoes of Meng Ke, harmonious and natural without a sense of jerkiness. The structure of the loom is meticulous and subtle, and the color is light and elegant. Ingenious composition, exquisite use of pen, so that the character image jumped on the paper, mainly realistic, the content is greater than the form, in line with the requirements of theme creation.
Qing Kangtao's "Picture of the Virtuous Mother" in the collection of the Capital Museum
Reading Kang Tao's painting "Xianmu Tu", I can't help but think of the allusion of "mother-in-law's embroidery". The son was about to leave home for his post, and at this time his mother did not forget to give him a serious reprimand. The painter vividly expresses the scene when a virtuous mother teaches her son with a very superb brushwork, and at the same time portrays the mother's sad state when the mother and son part, and the daughter-in-law who stands aside is reluctant to her husband, and respectfully listens to the mother's teachings. The words on the screen in the center of the picture are exactly what the mother told her son - "Linmin listens to the prison, and the people are solemn and public." Mourn and do not rejoice, filial piety is faithful. "The composition of the characters is arranged in a diagonal line, and the table, bed, and screen of the scene form a sense of layering from near and far. The painting style is rigorous, the color is light, and it has a strong artistic appeal.
The most famous poem about the mother undoubtedly belongs to MengJiao's "Wandering Zi Yin": "The loving mother's hand threads the wanderer's clothes." The seams are tightly sewn, and the night is afraid of delaying the return." The inscription of "Motherly Picture" painted by Qing Qian Hui'an is exactly the content of this poem. Unlike other "Baby Drama", from the picture point of view, it can basically be determined that it is an ordinary person's device. However, the mother's affection for her son jumped on the paper. Maternal love is selfless, rich or poor.
Wang Juzheng's "Spinning Wheel Diagram" was purchased by Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty, so the name was established. The painting depicts a vivid scene in which two women spin threads in front of a spinning wheel under a large willow tree on a spring day, while the young mother on the right rotates the spinning wheel with her right hand and a baby with some hair in her left hand. Zhao Mengfu painted a poem for this purpose: "The Tian family makes a bitter stay, rolling and rolling the car." As the poem says, the ancient peasant life was busy and hard, and this young mother had to do the work in her hands well, but also to breastfeed the child in her arms, and she was too busy to be idle for a moment, I wonder if the little boy behind her who played with a small pole and a frog could not appreciate the hardships of her mother at this moment? This is also a true portrayal of the busyness and hard work of all mothers in the world! The characters gather and disperse with each other to deal with nature, and the objects in the figure are depicted in a realistic and realistic way, especially the characters' clothing processing, using the "battle pen drawing", the center line pen, the line is fine and round, the turn is strong, and it twists and turns with the changes in the shape of the character, thus accurately shaping the form of the character and the soft texture of the cloth.
Northern Song Dynasty Wang Juzheng's "Spinning Wheel Map" is now in the Palace Museum
Contemporary master Lin Fengmian painted "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", which is derived from the allusion of Agarwood saving the mother in "Baolian Lantern". Lin Fengmian repeatedly painted the theme of ShenXiang's rescue of his mother, which is related to the painful memory of losing his mother at an early age, pouring out many strong emotions such as his desire to save his mother from a tragic fate and hope for the reunion of mother and son. Lin Fengmian began to create opera paintings around the 1950s, and gradually explored a new modeling language, perfectly combining traditional Chinese opera with the expression of Western Cubism, and opening up a new direction for the development of modern Chinese art. It can be said that in the development and transformation of modern Chinese painting in the twentieth century, Lin Fengmian's opera figure painting and its modeling theory occupy an important position, relying on the scenes of the traditional Peking Opera stage, combining the strengths of Chinese and Western aesthetics, crossing the gap between tradition and modernity, and making unprecedented breakthroughs in the relationship between color and form structure, space and time. The color of the picture is mainly dark blue and ochre yellow, the dress of the Three Madonnas is painted in dark blue and heavy ink, and then a translucent light white veil is painted with elegant dance-style movements, which reduces the thickness of the picture; the agarwood is shrouded in warm colors, which contrasts with the three madonnas and suggests salvation. The geometric golden background in the back is strongly lighted and shadowy, which sets off the situation of the two people, and the bright background also makes the foreground figures have a backlit effect, extending the rich depth of space. Lin Fengmian uses two different art forms as a carrier to explore the relationship between form and content, the continuity and opposition of time and space, and other modern themes.
Contemporary Lin Fengmian "Splitting the Mountain to Save The Mother"
The Southern Song Dynasty Li Song's "Cargo Lang Tu" is very grounded, and the common scenes in the countryside are presented under the painter's pen. The cargo man carried the burden, and the baskets at both ends of the burden were filled with various items. The children looked different and happy, and the joy of seeing all kinds of gadgets was touching. Everyone has had such an innocent and immaculate time. On either side are two plainly dressed mothers. The mother on the left holds the child with her right hand, and her loving eyes are always watching the child, afraid of accidentally dropping him, and at the same time, in front of the basket, she chooses his favorite items for the child, and her heart is also happy to see the child. Isn't this the mother on the right in this mood? With one child in her arms, she was surrounded by two other children, and she could also read love in her expression. Qianlong question: "Shouldering heavy burdens is tired, and snatching the children's labor to protect." Mo Xiao Lang is already stupid, who in the world is not as stupid as him? "This painting is delicately depicted in white, depicting the objects on the cargo almost to the same extent as the actual objects. The pen is solemn, the pen is calm and powerful, the dense, fine and rough can be unfolded with ease, and the color is simple and elegant.

Qing Dynasty opera composer Jiang Shiquan grew up living with his mother Zhong Shi, his father was out all year round, mainly relying on his mother to weave cloth and make money to support his family, and his mother was busy until late at night every day. When he grew up, Jiang Shiquan recorded his mother's industrious and virtuous life in the "Mingji Night Lesson Chart", leaving a poem "The Age of Twilight Arrives Home": "The heart of the beloved son is endless, and the joy of returning home is happy." The needle and thread of the cold clothes are dense, and the ink marks of the home letter are new. Meet pity thin, Hu'er asked bitterly. Humble and ashamed of the son of man, do not dare to sigh the wind and dust. "Delicately portrays the mother's heart of loving her son." This beautiful meaning is perfectly presented in Sha Fu's "Machine Sound Night Lesson Map", a theme painting that depicts an autumn night in which the mother Zhong Shi in the hall is weaving cloth in front of the loom, the daughter-in-law stands behind her mother to observe and study, and the person who reads hard and thinks hard in the study is Jiang Shiquan. The whole picture is mainly turquoise, with delicate pen and elegant coloring. The banana leaves are growing vigorously and verdantly, and it is obviously summer time at this time. The courtyard at night was exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of the mother weaving, while in the other room, the son was reading hard. What the mother does is to "accompany" and work hard and complain.

Zhu Xi, a great philosopher and educator of the Song Dynasty, unfortunately died of an illness when he was fourteen years old, and he relied on his mother to work alone to survive. Young Zhu Xi studied hard, never slackened off, and helped his mother fertilize and plant vegetables as soon as he had free time to reduce her mother's burden. After Zhu Xi grew up, he never forgot his mother's teachings and nurturing grace, and he dedicated himself to honoring his mother. Zhu Xi once wrote a poem expressing his love and blessing for his mother, "Before Xi Xi, he prayed to Xie Ah Niang again, and since ancient times, he has been a good heaven and a good place." I hope that every year like today, lao Lai mother and son will wander. Hua Yao, one of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou", created the "Poetic Intention of Song Ru" based on the general meaning of the poem. The old mother in the painting sits in the house, and the family obediently serves next to it, showing the atmosphere of motherly kindness and filial piety, and its happiness and harmony. Hua Yao is worthy of the big hand of painting characters, although it is a hedge hut, you can appreciate the elegant wind, the meaning of tranquility, and there is no cold and frugal atmosphere. As a generation of painters, the admiration and admiration of Confucianism in history, although it has violated the millennium, has produced a spiritual resonance, and the promotion of reading and reasoning, and the filial piety of the mother are touching.
Qing Huaxue 'Song Confucian Poetic Intentions》
Zhao Zhiqian and Huang Shiling created the "Little Man Has a Mother" seal for their friends. Zhao Zhiqian engraved this seal for his friend Wei Jiasun. The words of the paragraph read, "If there is filial piety, it will be accomplished." The sidebar of this seal is broken, and the shape is complete. The four words are all long lines, flowing and flexible, soft and not charming. From the changes in printing and adhesion, we can see Zhao Zhiqian's superb skills. Huang Shiling was also engraved by a friend, and the paragraph was indicated as Wang Xueliang. From the perspective of knife and seal methods, Qingli Shuya has the meaning of imitation, but Huang Shiling is after all everyone's wind, and the ancient teacher is not muddy. The knife technique is strong and sharp, and the straightness of the "small" word and the curve of the "mother" word form a strong contrast. The magic of the chapters and the magic will be divine, especially the adhesion of the word "mother", and the contrast with the thickness and square circle of the sidebar is impressive.
As the saying goes, "mother and child connect the heart", and there has been no shortage of works with such themes throughout the ages.
Qing Renyi's "Nongzhang Tu" collection of Tianjin Art Museum
Ren Yi, one of the "Four Masters of Haipai", shows the intimate interaction between children and mothers, and successfully shows the intimate relationship between mothers and children in ancient society, with the warmest embodiment of maternal love. "LangZhang" is the ancient Chinese folk name for giving birth to a boy, Zhang refers to a kind of jade, and the birth of a girl is called "Langwa No xi". Ren Bonian's figure paintings are unique, leading the way in the "Hai School". Learning to paint since childhood, not only has a deep understanding of the traditional national art, but later mastered certain Western painting techniques, so the drawing of "Nongzhang Tu" not only combines the essence of Chinese freehand painting, but also shows the pulse warmth hidden in the painting. The scene is not real life, but conceived by imagination, pine branches and strange stones, the mother sitting upright, a child leaning on the knee, the joy of heaven, the joy of the harmony. Although the scene is "virtual", the mother's love is real. There are drop comments on both sides: "Dewei long with a pen Yi rhyme, you can look down at the thousand autumns", "Excellent into the high ancient, it is advisable to follow the golden winter heart also".
Qing Pan Yong 'Mother and Child Diagram' fan surface
Another scene shown on the fan surface of Pan Yong's "Mother and Child Diagram". On the autumn boating lake, the mother takes the child to play, the soft willow flowers, the light boat waves, combined into a beautiful Jiangnan scenery. With a delicate pen and a beautiful style, the peace of the mother and the innocence of the child are perfectly presented.
Song Anon. "Picture of a Hen"
The ancients called chickens "birds of virtue.". Because the chicken is in harmony with "Ji" and is often regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, there are paintings that use hens and chicks to express the relationship between mother and child. The Song anonym title "Picture of the Hen" is a southern Song Dynasty feather sketch. There is a hen in the picture, which is huge compared to five chicks. Five chicks gather around the hen and feed in the field with the hen in different postures. The hen's snow-white feathers are fluffy and bright, and her eyes are full of love, while the chicks are young and timid, snuggled under the protection of their mother's wings. The hen leaned over and looked pitying. The shape of each chicken is accurate and the proportions are even, especially the loose feathers of the hen, the look of the hen pecking and pecking, and the state of the four chicks in front of them swaying and swinging, and the chicks that are stretching out their necks to come out, showing the delicate state of the first shell, vivid and vivid, fully demonstrating the realistic skills of the Song people. The most subtle thing is the author's treatment of the hen's eyes, leaving the blank position in front of the eyeballs to make its stooping posture more intense. This is probably part of the reason why the Chenghua Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was moved when he admired the Song painting "Picture of the Hen", leaving an inscription poem: "Nan Mu Chi Chi Zi Zi Group, Grassroots Soil Cave Power Can Be Divided." There is no dim sleep in the nest, and the overbody is accompanied by the sun. Raise the feathers by drinking and pecking, and defend the chicks with the general merits. Phi Tu sees Er Pin can be envied, Deqi Ciwu and the world. The whole poem vividly writes about the hen's love for the chick. The pen is light, the iron painting is silver hook, and the chapter and cursive brush meaning are faintly added to the fun.
Qing Bada Shanren "Mother and Child Map"
The Qing Bada Shanren's "Mother and Child Map" was painted in the autumn moon of Gengzi, that is, in 1660, and the mountain people were 46 years old, just in their prime. This is the creation of the bland and innocent style highlighted in the eight major works. As an artist, the idea is extraordinary. A boulder that tilts to set off the "smallness" of hens and chicks. Large strokes outline, light rubbing to see the dry, the contrast between thick and light is obvious. The hen lay down, the four chicks walked around with great joy, the hen used deep ink to write heavily, the chicks were light ink, forming a sharp contrast, enjoying the joy of mother and child reunion.
I remember Mr. Lu Xun said: "Even a genius, the first cry when he is born, is the same as that of ordinary children, and it will never be a good poem." The "song" that parents are most willing to hear is undoubtedly the loud cry after the baby delivers. People use the phrase "croaking" to describe the birth of a child, and from the moment the baby is born, the whole world is lit up! Even if you are an imperial family, you will cherish this original natural happiness. "Spring Dawn of the Han Palace" is a masterpiece by Qiu Ying. He depicts the harem beauties in the form of a long scroll with the title of the Han Dynasty court in the spring morning light, in which the harem concubines, palace eunuchs, princes, and painters are one hundred and fifteen people, dressed brightly, with different postures, who are both idle and busy. In addition to the group portraits of the ladies, it also integrates a variety of literati leisure activities, such as singing, hoop, chess, reading, painting, image, baby play, fan waving, etc. Qiu Ying's aesthetic concept and taste were influenced by the literati at that time, the subjective interest was combined with the natural realm, the background of the picture had high-rise pavilions, green trees and jungles, babbling water, birds and flowers, etc., the overall rendering of the elegant and quiet realm, everywhere showed people's positive and enthusiastic humanistic thoughts, the "Han Palace" of the symbol of prosperity and prosperity, leading people to produce unlimited reverie of "Spring Dawn".
Part of Ming Qiuying's "Spring Dawn map of the Han Palace" is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei
Imitation of Zhou Fang's "Drama Baby Diagram" silk book for the Song Dynasty Linben, the technique and color are all In the Style of Zhou Fang, retaining many characteristics of character paintings from the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty. The drawings are clearly a portrayal of the rich and noble families. A scene of five women playing with seven young children, bathing and dressing their young children. Above are two women bathing and washing children's hair, a naked child in the bathtub learning to scrub his head and neck with his small hands, and a naughty boy standing behind the basin seems to be trying to tease him. On the right is a woman playing with two children, one sitting with her hands outstretched to try to take something from the woman's hand, while the other child abandons the toy he is playing with and crawls out a hand to compete. The two women on the left are dressing their children. The three groups of pictures do their own thing, but they echo each other, and the combination of adults and children in each group has its own characteristics, especially children, or standing, or sitting, or creeping, or lying on their backs, full of cuteness.
Song Anon. Imitation of Zhou Fang's "Baby Play" is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Ordinary people's families cherish and enjoy this rare calf licking feeling even more. Song Yi's "Bath Baby Diagram" depicts exactly this scene. The character "Zhou Wenjie" outside the picture is added later, and this work should be regarded as a work of the Song People. There are three women and four children, with a long bathtub in the middle. The ancients believed that bathing could transmit the power of water to breed all things to babies and let them grow healthily, so bathing has a ceremonial and even religious connotation. If you look closely, the three women have a clear distinction in dress and posture. Whether it is dress, hairstyle or posture, the women who crouch by the bathtub in the middle of the painting to bathe the children are grouped with the women on the right side of the painting to dress or undress another child. Their dresses are both white and blue, and they all wear hairstyles similar to those of the Tang Dynasty's fallen horse buns, and they all squat on the ground. The color of the picture is light and bright, the atmosphere is warm and harmonious, the woman's expression is kind, the baby's innocence is full of rich human feelings and practical significance.
Ming Youqiu "Drama Baby Picture"
You Qiugong writes landscapes and characters, and learns from Liu Yinian and Qian Shunju and is exquisite. She is also the eldest lady, the most famous figure painter after Qiu Ying, and is especially good at white painting. "Drama Baby Picture" is created by Youqiu on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, although it is "Drama Baby Picture", but it is mainly a simulation of the Song Dynasty courtyard body painting, with a classical temperament, with the technique of female portraits to refine the planning, so it presents an aesthetic style. The mother in the picture is dignified and gentle, holding the baby in her hands, and her body is bent and tilted to adapt to the child's posture. There is a slight difference in the age of the three children, one standing and one lying on the other, forming a combination of contrasts and ingenious concepts. Because it is the Dragon Boat Festival, the background color is mostly for this scenery. The dress is bright, the color contrast is strong, and the movement is suitable.
Qing Leng Mei "Baby Drama Picture"
Jiao Bingzhen's disciple Leng Ming is good at painting figures and boundary paintings, You Jingshi, Gong LiYanya, clean pen and ink, shao xiu of color, painting method and work belt writing, embellishment of house utensils, extremely fine pen, and vivid hook painting of hair and placket. Leng Mei also absorbed some Western painting methods, such as the perspective of sketching, distance, light and shade, contrast and other painting methods. The color of "Baby Drama" does not agree with each other, and because it absorbs Western painting techniques, it has the effect of photographs. The mother is dignified and kind, the two children are on one side, the looks are different, and the mother gazes deeply and loves.
It cannot be said that a "drama" word is the most evocative, and Xin Zhiyi has the famous sentence of "the most favorite child is a scoundrel, and the creek head lies down to peel the lotus", and it is even more interesting to see the taste of life.
Feng Zikai once wrote "My Mother": "My mother sat on the Eight Immortals chair in the northwest corner of my old house, her eyes glowed with a serious light, and a loving smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. When I was thirty years old, I abandoned my job and returned home, reading and writing about my mother, who still sat in the Eight Immortals chair in the northwest corner every day, with a serious glow in her eyes and a loving smile on the corners of her mouth. It's just that her hair has gradually turned from gray to silver. Feng Zikai's mother under the brush is graceful and quiet, gentle and kind, giving people a kind of cordial touch. The painting "Little Brother Is Asleep" has a comic nature, and these four paintings are of a combinatorial nature, with the function of reproducing movie scenes, portraying the innocence of a child and the attachment to the mother to the fullest. Mothers will do their best to meet the demands of their children. The intimacy of mother and child reflects the warmth of the world.
Contemporary Feng Zikai, "Little Brother Is Asleep"
The contemporary Huang Guan's "Baby Raising Diagram" is full of modern life interest. Huang grew up in a passionate era full of lofty ideals and heroism. Over the years, his life experience in the army and border areas has bred his passionate and romantic artistic temperament. Judging from the painting style from this, it should be a minority woman who vaguely feels the grassland style. Huang Ji has many similar creations in the long process of collecting styles. The use of color is unique. Huang Ji's figure paintings are bold in color, and the composure of the splashed ink is in stark contrast with the brilliance of the colors; the color lining ink, the ink color, loud and coordinated. He not only absorbed the tone of color used in Western painting, but also boldly adopted the treatment method of folk color, still losing the charm of Chinese ink painting. Two vases, a kitten, a top, scattered flowers, seemingly random arrangement, but the child's carefree, childlike world is perfectly presented.
Contemporary Huang Ji's "Baby-Raising Chart"
At this point, it can be seen that the theme of motherhood and maternal love in Chinese painting and calligraphy is a rich series, witnessing the characteristics of Chinese painting that are both freehand and realistic, both heart and shape, both writing and writing him, both interesting and tasteful. The sketching and realism of Chinese painting should not be considered a very special problem, and has always been the center of emphasis and implementation. Since the Qing Dynasty, Chinese painting has absorbed and studied certain Western painting traditions, and has reflected more realistic influences on the shape and expression of characters. With the changes of the times, the creation of Chinese painting is not limited to the expression of specific subjects, but gradually expands to a more comprehensive and broad direction, and changes in content and theme inevitably affect the technique, and multiple choices will break through the existing laws and innovate. It can be said that Chinese painting, especially figure painting, can best conform to the development of the times, express new life and new phenomena, reflect new styles and achievements, which is why today we can see the different styles of works about mothers and mothers. When selected into a series, not only the theme is highlighted, but also the imprint of the changes of the times can be seen.
"The kaifeng blows from the south, blowing the thorny heart. Thorn heart death, mother's labor. The triumphant wind blows from the south, blowing the thorns. Mother's holy goodness, I have no man. Mother's love is the greatest and most selfless emotion of human beings, and every step of everyone's growth embodies the countless efforts and endless love of the mother. Read ancient paintings and calligraphy, and appreciate and feel the great, simple, true and deep maternal love through the moving scenes in the paintings handed down from generation to generation.
