Void Valley
Squirrel end stone
Su Dongpo has a poem: "I was born without a field and ate broken stones." Yan is a very Chinese characteristics of the stationery supplies, but also the literati rely on the survival of the production tools, Yan for the literati, can be said to be "food, weapons, steering wheel."
This work of the virtual valley uses a squirrel climbing up the yantai to lick the ink, which not only has the meaning of the literati making a living from ink, but also has a faint self-deprecation. Yantai and teapots use war brush strokes to form a corresponding relationship with squirrel fluff.
Squirrel grapes
In this painting, the squirrel fur is rubbed with dry pen and scattered edges, fluffy and three-dimensional, showing the furry texture of the squirrel. The grapes and leaves are splashed with ink and painted with ink. The squirrel's eyes reveal alert characteristics, and the parachute-like tail hangs upside down, which can be imagined to be flexible in its leaping and swinging.
Plum blossom squirrel bamboo peach
Throughout his life, He has loved plum blossoms and repeatedly painted plum blossoms that "bloom to the first spring in the world". When he lived in Suzhou, he lived in the fragrant snow sea with dense plum trees. This plum blossom and squirrel, a tree of red plums blooming, plum branches out, full of vitality, squirrels also seem to understand the meaning of the people, quietly crouching in the branches to admire the plums, squinting their eyes, a look of intoxication. In ancient times, there was a Huaguang monk who painted plum blossoms for forty years, claiming that "the circle petals are slightly round and self", and the plum petals of the Virtual Valley are not very round, and there is a sense of frustration, which is also a kind of deformation and exaggeration of him.
Looking at the paintings of the Hai school painters, sometimes like the "Suoyin School" of hongxue, this bamboo and peach are estimated to have the meaning of wishing for longevity or peace and longevity. In the picture, the bamboo with double hook lines and the lumpy peach have a relationship between the lines and the block surface, and there is a connection between the two and there is an intersection. The bamboo leaves are sparse and dense, the peaches are also gathered and scattered, and the seal of recognition constitutes a complete picture. The collection seal in the lower left corner is large, which affects the picture effect to a certain extent.
Squirrel red leaves
The squirrels in The Void Valley's pen have a type of painting that is delicate and fluffy, and another type of painting method is to rub with burnt ink, the brush is bold, and the shape is like a celebrity who is uninhibited and rough-headed, and the squirrel on this painting belongs to the latter painting method. The branches on the painting are correspondingly extensive, and the ink color is rich in dry and wet variations.
The inscription has the words "Xie Gong Guan Ben": Xie Gong Guan is the Zhai number of Hua Nai's guest residence on the west lake of Hangzhou. The painting styles of Hua Nai, Silla Mountain, Ren Yi, Xugu, etc. were all influenced by him to varying degrees.
Goldfish double digging
The ancients painted, there are people with the theme of "Linyuan Envy Fish", and most of them take cats as the main body, crouching on the stone and peeping at swimming fish. The saying "Linyuan envy fish" also means "it is better to retreat and tie the net".
Fish and cats have a food chain relationship, as a food, fish is the cat's love. And the squirrel feeds on pine cones, and the goldfish in the eyes of the squirrel may be like the Lin sister in jiaoda's eyes. So, the squirrel just waits and sees.
The heart wants nothing, everything follows fate, squirrel care? Imaginary?
Swimming fish chart
The two most common types of virtual valley painting fish are bream and goldfish, and there are more bream, pangolin and pufferfish. Compared with the fish painted by the Bada Shanren, the fish in The Void Valley is a living, this kind of fish is common, ponds and rivers are generally available, and then it is vivid and lively, free and free, with Zhuangzi's so-called "travel calmly, is the joy of fish" artistic conception.
Autumn fish Lettu
In this painting, between the stone cracks of the lake and stone on the wall, you can see several clusters of double-hooked bamboo and chrysanthemums, and there are several goldfish swimming leisurely under them. Virtual Valley paints bamboo with double hooks, with the Song and Yuan dynasties; Chrysanthemums also have their own characteristics, with few petals and resemble wild chrysanthemums; Goldfish are more distinctive, square head and short tail, simple and exaggerated form, cute and lovely.
Spring water fish swim
The void valley paints swimming fish, that kind of minnow fish, often has a sense of speed and movement, whether the virtual valley has Zhuangzi "between the world of life, if the gap between the white colt, suddenly and self", I don't know. The lines used in this painting do not use the brushwork such as house leak marks and printing clay, but are very fast, and even eliminate the calligraphic lines. While painting swimming fish, the virtual valley often paints falling flowers on the surface of the water. Falling flowers and swimming fish, this is a set of life contrasts, reflecting the lament of the impermanence of life, the shortness of life, and the pity of cherishing spring and hurting.
Bamboo forest white striped fish
In his later years, there were many dry pens, war pens, broken pens, and reverse pens.
In this painting, Virtual Valley uses a vertical pen to draw bamboo leaves in composition, and draws swimming fish with horizontal strokes, and bamboo leaves are somewhat similar to fish in shape, and this intersection makes people have a dynamic illusion.
Double clearance
A plum blossom, a cabbage, the picture is very simple. As an album sketch, although concise, the weight is enough. Plum blossoms and cabbage are two things, one represents spirit and the other represents matter, which is the valley of emptiness.
In fact, the appearance of cabbage on the painting also represents the spirit of the times. If you don't believe me, you can try to imagine: can a plum blossom with "only clear breath" add a cabbage? Can Jinnong's "empty incense dipped" plum blossoms add a cabbage?
Flavors of the lake
There are many people who paint lotus flowers, and those who paint lotus seeds and lotus roots are rare. The lotus root is a treasure, and from this painting, it can also be said that the lotus root is suitable for the painting. This painting of The Void Valley paints lotus puffs and lotus roots cut into pieces, which is a very lifelike idea and painting method of moving food from the daily life of ordinary people into the picture. I have seen the salted duck eggs cut by Qi Baishi paintings, and I think that perhaps the virtual valley has a certain inspiration for qi baishi.
Swimming fish bergamot teapot
Imaginary valley painting fish, like to draw a group of fish swimming fast in the same direction, mostly minnows, showing the vitality of a life. The minnows and skin fish on this flower and fruit album change in ink color and write quickly. Interestingly, there is a paraderma fish swimming over, which also belongs to the change.
Some paintings of the Virtual Valley, the arc of the painting likes to use short straight lines to deal with: one is to seek change, and the other is to feel simple, just like the cutting knife used in the Zhejiang school seal carving. Many arc strokes such as bergamots, teapots, vases, etc. on this flower and fruit book are processed into straight lines. The plants in the vase, which I interpret as puddles, usually consist of a set of arcs, called circle grasses. When Lu Yu was young, he liked to use the circle grass as a practice pen. The deformation of the void valley adds an abstract and decorative meaning.
A book of fruits and vegetables
Vegetables such as peas were rarely included in paintings before the Painters of the Shanghai School. In the past, literati painters, until the Yangzhou Eight Monsters of the Qing Dynasty, were not exempt from vulgarity, and most of them flaunted Qinggao with plums, orchids, bamboo, chrysanthemums and the like. The peas, cabbage, oil, salt and vinegar are the concerns of the flow of pulp sellers. The valley is painted with peas, cabbage, turnips, eggplants, etc., reflecting the changes in citizens' preferences.
Crane stone diagram
Song Huizong Zhao Tuo has "RuiHe Tu", the picture is full of auspicious clouds, and the Rui cranes dance in groups, expressing the beauty of auspicious wealth and long-term happiness. The virtual valley also likes to paint cranes, however, the crane in the painting of the virtual valley is shrunken in the neck, standing on one foot, expressing the loneliness and loneliness in the depths of the painter's heart, just as Su Dongpo said, "Picking all the cold branches and refusing to perch, lonely sandbar cold" The painting uses dry pens, which is very harmonious with the inscription calligraphy.
The lake is swinging lonely
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, "imitating so-and-so brushwork", most of the cases are not really copied, to play a not very appropriate analogy, very much like we write summaries and other official documents, the beginning often uses a few clichés.
It doesn't matter if Shi Tao has this painting or not. Even if there is, the virtual valley is also an old bottle of new wine, or "borrow someone else's wine glass and pour your own blocks".
On the side of the river, the sails are hanging high, whether to return to the sails or prepare for a long voyage, full of uncertainty. And once on the boat, it is dangerous, not to mention the use of sails, it must be a long journey, like devoting yourself to art, never ending.
View of the waterfall
Virtual Valley painting is mainly based on flower and bird painting, and the category of flower and bird painting can also include fish, insects and squirrels.
From this landscape painting, it can be seen that Xugu was influenced by the Xin'an school of paintings by Hongren, Meiqing, and Cheng Yi. This is also very normal, Xugu was originally a Xin'an person. Watching the waterfall and listening to the spring is a literati elegant thing, but on the screen, there is no literati to watch together, and in the best place for the waterfall, there is no pavilion, which can be imagined as a wilderness place. Perhaps, as Wang Anshi said: "The wonders, wonders, and extraordinary views of the world often lie in the dangers and distances, and people are rare, so those who do not have lofty ideals cannot reach it." ”
If you first read two verses of the Void Valley: "When you feel floating in the world, will there be no one in the empty mountains and flowing water?" Looking at this painting again, the artistic conception is naturally better.
