A poem can be read again and again in a hundred, two hundred, or even a thousand years, and arouses endless emotions in people's hearts.
A painting can be admired by hundreds, thousands of people, and even countless future generations, and it can be passed down from generation to generation.
Why? It is precisely because from ancient times to the present, the pursuit of poetry is people's yearning and pursuit of a better life. There is a cultural heritage here, there is a power of art, and it plays a role together. Finding this key and opening the door to civilization is the mission of generations of cultural people.
One of the three hundred poems of Tang Dynasty is one of the most challenging works chosen by the painter Hao Xueshan in his pursuit of beauty. Among the vast treasures of Chinese culture, if there is one highest peak, the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" is undoubtedly Mount Everest. Choosing to use the same ancient Chinese art expression of Chinese painting to express the painting and meaning in Tang poetry is both a tribute and a test. From naïve children to elderly people, these are the fastest popular poems; From the East to the West, this is a well-known cultural image, and because it is familiar, it is the most difficult.
This is destined to be a difficult road, and the road is long and obstructed. Snow Mountain has been learning to paint since childhood, and has not quit for more than thirty years, during which he has traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, visited famous teachers and high friends, and collected the strengths of hundreds of families to form a family pen, in recent years, he has lived in seclusion in the Jin Temple, only to watch the lotus and enjoy the snow, photograph the moon and chase birds. Mountains and rivers and grasses, the old fortress new city, is often used at the end of the pen. I wonder if he has his original intention, to enjoy alone, to enjoy with all, to enjoy? Zi Yue: Not as good as with the crowd.
In the painting of the snowy mountain, you can see the opposition between imagination and solidification, and you can also see the fusion of imagination and solidification. There are four hours at the bottom of the pen, and there is enlightenment in the painting. This realization of the ancients called it the sexual spirit, which is the gaze and dialogue between people and people, man and nature, which is the fit of soul and inspiration. It will not be easier to open the boundary between the two than to open up the second vein of Ren Dou. But Xueshan dared to choose this "Shu Road", and he continued to climb this peak for several years and recorded various experiences in the process. When you flip through the album, you will know that this is not easy, naturally there are beautiful scenery, but there are also moments of wild storms, mountains and rivers are doubtful, willows are dark and flowers are bright and another village, between familiarity and strangeness, in history and reality, unreal and realistic reunion, characters and landscapes are integrated. One painting a world, one poem and one bodhi.
"In the midst of the great waves, neither joy nor fear." Beauty comes from nature, from history, from observation, from imagination, from the perseverance of a painter. One morning, The Snow Mountain sent a peach blossom painting with a record of poetry: "Spring breeze drizzle to the mountain window, but write peach blossoms like bright makeup; Laughing at the old age, you must also spend time. His comment was: Literature, books, paintings, but they are all bridges to the state of mind. If the mind is not in the middle of nowhere, what is the use of the bridge; If the bridge is not strong, why should the situation be?
He had realized his own state of mind, and he expressed it with his own pen.
The aesthetics of this era have been greatly deviated, and in the world of habituation there should be more people to create new aesthetics, and to allow our traditions to continue to grow, so that there is more business in our green world.
If you are also a seeker of beauty, please open this book and read it slowly.
When dawn breaks.
