This is a strange painting born more than 150 years ago, in which more than a dozen kinds of seafood are painted in one go, including the octopus we are familiar with, Pippi shrimp, manta rays, and aquatic products that are no longer eaten.
The painter from Shaoxing, because of the frequent wars and difficult livelihood, he took refuge in the coastal city of Wenzhou, was attracted by the strange things that have never been seen here, and left a series of paintings recording the novelties of Wenzhou and Ruian, which can be called "the works that have never been painted before, and there are no people who have come after".
This "Different Fish" is one of the most breathtaking masterpieces, and it is also the painter's favorite piece, which he has always carried with him and asked good friends everywhere to write inscriptions.

In the history of late Qing art, Zhao Zhiqian (1829-1884) is undoubtedly one of the most important artists. In painting, he is a pioneer figure of the "Maritime Painting School", and the "Golden Stone Painting Style" created by his calligraphy and printing into painting has had a huge impact on the development of modern freehand flowers; in calligraphy, he is the most powerful practitioner of the qing Dynasty epigraphy theory, and the formation of his Weibei style of calligraphy has further improved the technical system of the stele school, thus becoming the first model of the Qing Dynasty to truly comprehensively study the stele in the right, line, seal, and subordinate bodies; in the seal carving, he has widely taken the law on the basis of his predecessors, integrated it, and "sought printing outside the Printing" The means creatively inherit Deng Shiru's creative mode of "printing from the book" and open up an unprecedented new realm. In modern times, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and others have benefited a lot from other places.

Ten years later, the war extended to Hangzhou, Miao Zi was killed in battle, and Miao Mu was disbanded.
In 1861, Zhao Zhiqian, who was forced by life, came to Wenzhou for the first time, found a temporary errand in Ruian, inspected the coastal defense affairs in Ruiyi, and made friends with a large number of celebrities and eunuchs at that time. Among them, the most close contacts are Jiang Xiang, Ding Wenwei, Chen Baoshan and others. Uncle Jiang Xiangzi is 11 years older than Zhao Zhiqian. Ding Wenwei is the blue uncle, 2 years older than Zhao Zhiqian, plus Zhao Zhiqian's uncle, all three of them are known for their Golden Stone calligraphy and painting in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, gather in Wenzhou, sing poetry, have close contacts, and are called brothers, then known as "The Three Uncles of Dong'ou", which is a good story.

In the history of painting, paintings such as "Different Fish Figures" belong to "naturalist painting" and have a deep tradition. As early as the pre-Qin era, there was a tradition of "nomenclature", one of which was to specialize in the "name of birds, animals, plants and trees"; in the field of painting, there was a class of literati painters specializing in paintings of "Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums, flowers, birds, insects and beasts", especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the "natural" painting style in the court became more and more prosperous; in the late Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou also appeared a kind of special export museum painting, which was painted by Chinese painters in accordance with the requirements of foreign businessmen. But few people paint marine life — ancient China paid little attention to the creatures in the vast ocean. Before Zhao Zhiqian, during the Kangxi Dynasty, there was a Hangzhou painter named Nie Huang, who had specially drawn a set of "Sea Mistake Maps". This atlas of marine life depicts more than 300 species of coastal flora and fauna, and is deeply loved by emperors such as Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Xuantong.
Qing Nie Huang Sea Fault Map (Partial)
Zhao Zhiqian's paintings changed the old habits of literati painters in the old times, and every time there were many sketches, the sights and eyes often took shape on paper and ink, so the subject matter was novel and unexpected. The "Different Fish Diagram" was written by Zhao Zhiqian in Rui'an when he was thirty-three years old, depicting various properties seen in the Wenzhou area of Gu'ou, and most of them were his first-time painters, and they were explained in the text or the long and short text next to it. The so-called "see the sea objects have strange shapes, miscellaneous pictures of this paper, interspersed for the name of examination." The late friend Hu Shu inscribed on the scroll and praised Zhao Zhiqian's painting as "enough to prepare a party property, and it is not comparable to ordinary sketches." ”
Hu Shu's title: Heterodox Chart. Tu Yi fish is not good Yi Ye, he fish does not wait for Tu Ye. Uncle Xiao Ying, long and versatile, has recently made great efforts to learn the world, and tries to do the rest, but this volume is enough to prepare a product, which is not comparable to ordinary sketching.
