If life is counted in a hundred years, it will only enter autumn until about seventy. Wei Xinyi, a painter born in the mid-fifties of the twentieth century, is currently immersed in the brilliant autumn and enjoys the happiness of doing what he wants.
Since ancient times, people have always paid more attention to spring and autumn than winter and summer. Wei Xinyi once sorted out some interesting phenomena: Confucius's revised history of the state of Lu is called "Spring and Autumn", which is the first chronicle of China, and has become the name of the first half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in later generations; To describe people in the prime of life, use "spring and autumn prosperity"; Unrealistic ideas are called "Spring and Autumn Dreams"; Even the solar terms are only spring equinox, autumn equinox, and no summer equinox and winter equinox.
In addition to its various exclusive meanings, "Spring and Autumn" has been endowed with more poetry in ancient Chinese literature. If you use "spring" and "autumn" as the keywords of the flying flower order, there will be a large number of solitaires, especially the word "autumn" is more favored by literati - from Du Mu's "silver candle autumn light cold painting screen, light Luo small fan fluttering fireflies", Du Fu's "thousands of miles of sad autumn often as a guest, a hundred years of illness on the stage alone" to Er'an's various autumn thoughts, and then to Mao Zedong's "bleak autumn wind is now again, changed the world", the poems with autumn as the soul are always the most shocking.
"Guarding the Window"
Wei Xinyi did not choose Beiqiu. He painted "Guarding the Window", Li Qingzhao is a thin but strong back; He painted "A Leaf Knows Autumn", and the old monk was very relaxed and meditative in the vast world. From a fallen leaf to know the change of seasons, from a goose chirping to receive the news of traveling, which is the same as the expression of "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet", but also can be associated with the image thinking of Chinese painting, once again proves that Chinese traditional culture is a perfect whole, poetry, piano and chess, calligraphy and painting play their own and interconnected.
"A Leaf Knows Autumn"
"The mountain monk doesn't understand how to count the nails, and a leaf falls to know the autumn of the world." Wei Xinyi sometimes imagined such a scene: an old monk lived in the mountains, had no calendar, no clock, and watched the sun and moon every day to estimate the time. One day he was wandering around the courtyard when suddenly a yellow leaf fell in front of his feet. This is an ordinary thing, which will make people with rich hearts and keen perceptions stunned, although the body and expression are stagnant at this moment, the thoughts explode on the spot, and the images are thousands and thousands, which is the so-called seeing the subtleties.
We face the unknown every day, and it is inevitable that we will be afraid and at a loss. But many things have signs, rehearsals, and rules to follow, so it is better to find and discover, or you can get a glimpse of the mysteries between heaven and earth first, and grasp one or two mysteries on the way ahead. Thinking of this, people can't help but feel a little relieved.
Red Bamboo
Autumn is golden, so the term "golden autumn" is not only due to the dazzling colors of this season. Wei Xinyi likes this kind of warm and fulfilling things, which is very much in line with his heart of galloping horses and often spreading joy, and it can also satisfy the unreasonable but most likely to move towards the truth of highly sensitive people.
When the sun shines directly on the equator and there is no preference for the north and south, it is the spring and autumn equinoxes. In Wei Xinyi's view, this is really a stroke of yin and yang. After that, the equilibrium is broken, and there is always a hemisphere that seems to go downhill. Why are people prone to sadness? It is probably also related to the sense of age represented by autumn, planting a grain of millet in spring, harvesting 10,000 seeds in autumn, and then killing after harvesting, which makes people sad and happy.
Wei Xinyi wrote a set of self-proclaimed "Feelings of Watching the Scenery Outside the Window in the House": "The autumn leaves of Yanshan are good, not that the autumn leaves are not poems. The autumn leaves are more colorful after frost, and the color refers to the highest branches. "Filled with upward energy. Next is the delicate use of more compound words, "Autumn comes and autumn goes to the autumn wind, it is the autumn leaves that move the autumn thoughts." Autumn thinking only moves the autumn wind, autumn love and autumn full of branches. Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" has 12 "rivers", Cao Xueqin's "Autumn Window Wind and Rain" has 15 "autumns", and Wei Xinyi's eight poems also have 13 sincere "autumns", which can be regarded as a text bombardment full of passion, talent and confidence. In particular, the sentence "It's not autumn leaves don't give poetry" shows the strong poetry of people in autumn.
"Taibai Invites the Moon"
In "Taibai Inviting the Moon", Wei Xinyi asked Li Bai to turn to the left with the cup in his right hand, and the moon behind him. This is a "dynamic screenshot" in which the poet is turning to the moon but has not yet made eye contact with it. He was at least eight points drunk, and he was a little out of place, and he needed to twist his body to look for it, and the hem of his clothes was rolled up in the wind, and his face was flushed, and his eyes were about to be raised. Except for the face and the right hand, everything else is hastily drawn. When writing "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, the shadow becomes a trio", Li Bai lived in Chang'an, constantly switching between loneliness and non-loneliness, and under the enviable chic shape, most of them were desolate and helpless self-entertainment.
Wei Xinyi gave Li Bai more agility and jumped, looking more like a dancer under the moon. The moon is not so important anymore, it is only after dancing yourself that matters.
"It's Cool and It's Autumn"
In "It's a Cool Autumn", Wei Xinyi simplified the appearance of the characters even more, one stroke in front of him and one stroke in the back, and Xin Qiji stood there. Judging from the direction of the falling leaves, Xin Qiji is facing the wind, and the always arrogant bamboo is below the knees of the characters, which is also an attitude of accepting reality. For artists, "the weather is cool and autumn" is an ideal state. Eliminate those loneliness and loneliness, and the reason for wanting to talk about the rest may also be the stretching of the mind, which is needless to say. Wang Yangming wrote in a small poem: "Hunger comes to eat, tiredness and sleep, only to practice the mysterious." said that he didn't believe in the world, but he looked for immortals from outside his body. "That's what Wei Xinyi likes. Many people are always thinking about sleeping when they are eating, and they are tired physically and mentally, and they don't know that living calmly in the present moment is spiritual practice.
Wei Xinyi said: "Chinese literati have the ability to sublimate everything they come into contact with into imagery and personality. So it was extended to "five virtues" and "ten virtues" and the like. But in the end, it has to return to the most simple face, and the legendary man named Zhang Dayou wrote it smoothly and unsurprisingly became the best: "Heaven and earth are general, and the wellhead is black and holey." The black dog is white, and the white dog is swollen. ”
"Jiaxuan View of the Sword"
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, most of the things that Chinese literati care about are useless, but the truth is often hidden in the daily life. Qing Xiang Hongzuo said: "If it is not a useless thing, how can you send a life." This sentence comes from Zhang Yanyuan's "If it is not a useless thing, then An Nengyue has an endless life", in short, in this life, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also to do more spiritual gymnastics, to find and inspire spiritual things, this is complete. Divergent thinking habits are sometimes innate, but they can also be cultivated, Wei Xinyi on the basis of his natural love of using his brain, but also on his own interesting mind training, which makes him sparkling, can organically integrate many irrelevant things to form a system. It's a lonely game, and as we've said before, Wei Xinyi is as persistent in exploring learning as a flat-headed brother, and is immersed in a state of self-satisfied satisfaction like a sea otter for the rest of his life. For him, every day is a fruitful autumn day.
Autumn should also be concretized in the mind. Wei Xinyi picked up a lot of autumn leaves and flattened them to collect. He inscribed poems and paintings on it, leaving traces related to autumn. As a child, he used to lie under the poplar tree in autumn and watch the sky, and he was always happy at that time. Later, I read a lot of poems about the sad autumn and had my own experience, and my mood couldn't help but rise and fall. Until I saw Liu Yuxi, "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring." When the cranes line the clouds in the clear sky, they will lead the poetry to the blue sky", and the stereotype of autumn has been eliminated.
It's nice to have a bright tail on everything. Wei Xinyi thought so.
