Eight views of Autumn Xing, created as a teacher. Four hundred years ago, the autumn mood, graceful and high-spirited, smoke and clouds flowing, it is the peak of literati landscape painting, but also the spiritual home of literati painters.
"To write art history, Dong Qichang must write it. When choosing his work, I think the first thing to consider is "Eight Views of Autumn Xing". Ling Lizhong, a research librarian at the Shanghai Museum, introduced that behind the "Eight Views of Autumn Xing" is a theoretical system that has influenced the painting world for three or four hundred years in later generations.
In the autumn of the forty-eighth year of the Wanli Calendar, Dong Qichang sailed through Wumen, at this time, the end of summer was not yet central, and the autumn mood was gradually thickening. On the way, there are lush grass and misty Jiangnan hills, there are satin reeds, distant water and countryside, and there are also autumn scenery on the river where water towers and colorful boats compete. Steep mountains, deep valleys, and diffuse clouds and mist, each in its own way.
"Eight Views of Qiuxing" was painted by Dong Qichang in the process of boating in the water. This group of works, whether it is ink, light or small green, is expressed according to the poetry of autumn. Although the "Eight Views" is a work, each work is independent.
"Eight Views of Qiuxing" depicts the autumn scenery of Jiangnan with "xiufeng like clusters, Kawahara cangmang", embellished with elegant poetic inscriptions. The clusters of falling pens are like silkworms, adding the beauty of the interlacing of virtual and real, and the literati of poetry, calligraphy and painting are more intense.
Qiuxing is not only a classic subject of ancient literature, but also in the field of painting. Ling Lizhong introduced that Wen Zhengming had painted "Autumn Sound Fu", and Zhao Mengfu had a book "Du Fu Qiuxing Poetry Volume". "The combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting can be said to be a typical feature of ancient Chinese literati calligraphy and painting."
The painter uses the pen to return to the wrist to hide the front, the lines are calm and clumsy, the ink god fly, the structural cloth is strange and positive, the color is innovative, and the plain ink is applied with different shades of crimson, and the dots are dyed with the beauty of the autumn mood.
The space creation before and after "Eight Views of Autumn Xing" and the structural relationship between the mountain and stone treatment are full of flexible changes. "There is no similar pen and ink at every point, he is a master of styling." Ling Lizhong said that the literati can express the feeling of the moment. "Its lines, the accumulation of ink, are not just techniques, but a spiritual substance with a state of life."
In the history of Chinese literati calligraphy and painting, Dong Qichang is a generation of masters who inherited the past and the future after Su Dongpo and Zhao Mengfu, he jumped out of the cage of Song painting "seeking truth and objects", advocated the use of pen and ink to express artistic conception, seems to have the sentiment of Western Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism, and opened a new chapter in the history of literati painting.
From this point of view, Dong Qichang's landscape painting jumps out of the figurative cage of the southern landscape and the northern landscape, which is no longer a calligraphy landscape, but a spiritual homeland of the heart landscape, with a kind of spirituality and poetry.
"The flat waves are not endless, and the frost is half-deserted and shallow." One autumn four hundred years ago, Dong Qichang was painting in a boat, and this autumn meaning is eternal and eternal, and the eight scenes of autumn xing in his pen have achieved a legend in the history of painting.
