#Art#God's place is condensed into qi, and as far as people are concerned, anger has anger, joy and joy, and the two armies must be angry in their victory, and they must be angry and try to fight for qi, which shows that qi is an externalization of God. Deification is qi, yin and yang and qi sympathize with each other, and all things are born, and qi is used, or gathered or dispersed, or soft or rigid, flowing between heaven and earth, everything. Qi is between the tangible and the invisible, it is the transition and medium between metaphysical and metaphysical, qi is endowed with things, and things have their own qi, and everything without rhyme is chaotic, and if it loses its breath, it dies, so qi represents vitality and vitality.
"Mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings", before the tangible rain falls, there must be invisible air currents first. Similarly, in art, people's thinking consciousness, emotional feelings, breath states, techniques, shapes, etc., their movement changes will form a kind of qi, which can be said to be the imprint and precursor of their changes. The comprehensive expression of various qi constitutes the connotation of a work of art, and the rich connotation is full of energy, but on the contrary, it gives people the feeling of dryness and barrenness.
In the art of calligraphy and painting, qi runs through all aspects of modeling, technique, state, emotion and thought, and the qi of modeling, the breath of technique, the breath of state, the breath of emotion, the breath of thought, and the breath of life constitute an organic whole when creating, and can be divided into different levels when appreciating, all kinds of qi are not barely available, and deficiencies and deficiencies will be faithfully recorded by the work, and determine the level of artistic value of the work.
Qi is also the combination of the creator's subjective efforts and experience and environment, and it is a process of dynamic development, so the perfection of qi in the work is to ponder and refine, is to be skillful, to be spirited, to be wanton, to go with the flow of the world, to move towards others, and finally to form their own independent ideological understanding and style characteristics.
Van Gogh's Olive Tree
For example, in Van Gogh's "Olive Tree", we can feel the vitality from the lush trees, which is the atmosphere of modeling; we can feel the comfortable atmosphere brought by free lines, the abundant breath brought by rich colors, which is the breath of technique; in the lines and brushstrokes, we can see the author's full concentration and calmness when creating, which is the breath of the state; it cannot be ignored That there is obviously the subjective existence of the creator in the work, and Van Gogh's bumpy life experience brews into a fierce personal emotion. And in the works, it is expressed as a kind of unrestrained out of the cocoon, a kind of innocence and fearless frankness, which is the breath of emotion; the formation of a person's emotion is undoubtedly closely related to its ideological consciousness, the compassionate love of life and the persistent exploration of truth, so that Van Gogh combines the surge of the soul with the scene of reality again and again into a magnificent pattern, this is the breath of thought, all of which form a breath of life, all aspects of art, all levels are vivid and vivid precisely because of human participation and human factors. Otherwise it will be like an empty shell that flows on a superficial surface and has no life.
