Do not go to the church feast, sit in the poor spring, pen and ink articles can be played, a mountain and a water, all pleasant.
Ji You literature and painting flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Yu Painting began with the Wumen School of painting, shen zhou and Wen Zhengming have a considerable number of works in existence; later, Wang Shizhen and other literati inkers actively participated, and finally made Ji You landscape painting the best way for literati to travel and write.
Wu Dacheng's eunuchs are all over the country, and he is also fond of traveling, good at painting, fond of poetry, and among the paintings passed down from generation to generation, Lingu and Jiyou are the most common themes, and his staff Lu Lianfu is good at drawing Jiyou Chronicle volumes, and is also deeply influenced by it.
The "Kuang Lu Ji You Tu Scroll" is a representative masterpiece of the Ke Zhai Ji Tour.
In July 1892, KeZhai sent Wu Benzhai and Benshan's two nephews to Nanjing to take the exam, and You Xing got up, took a boat all the way south, traveled with Gu Ruobo to Lushan For five days, and on the twenty-third day, he set off from Jiujiang, crossed Wuzhangling, crossed Wulao Peak, Juhaihui Temple; crossed Guanyin Bridge, Youqixia Temple, Subailudong Academy, and left the mountain on the twenty-seventh day. After returning to make this volume, it is self-titled and introduced in large characters, and has been carried around, and self-cherishing can be seen.
The painting of this volume is divided into five sections, the first four of which are self-made by Kezhai : "Haihui Temple" and "Nine Stacks of Cloud Screens" are inked; "Mountain Gorge Stream" and "White Deer Cave Academy" are lightly colored; the last paragraph is Gu Hu's handwriting, and the inscription of Kezhai is "Shiliang Flying Waterfall", and the pen and ink are all derived from the authentic four kings. The five paintings are not arranged in chronological order, if you carefully compare the travelogue of the self-book, you can appreciate its intentions:
"Kaikai-ji Temple" is at the beginning of the volume and is a panoramic arrangement. Su Dongpo's poem "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain" seems to be a conclusive conclusion for thousands of years, and Kezhai borrows the words of the old monks in the Haihui Temple, and the title is "The True Face of Lushan Mountain", but see the Five Old Peaks standing on the cloud table, the Haihui Temple is located in front of the mountain, the sky is clear, the Five Old Peaks are bumpy, and the mountain color is known. On the same day, Ke Zhai and Gu Huzhan pen and ink in front of the temple, rubbed the natural, one by one into the paper, and discussed the painting, with the intention of showing the whole picture of Lushan.
