Introduction to Money Selection
Qian Xuan (1239-1299), courtesy name Shunju, also known as Yutan, also known as Xunfeng, was a native of Wuxing (present-day Huzhou), Zhejiang. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Jing Dingjian Jinshi, good at poetry and calligraphy, was known as "Wuxing Eight Jun" along with Zhao Mengfu and was equivalent to Zhao Mengfu. After entering the Yuan Dynasty, he did not entertain himself with poetry and painting. His painting achievements are outstanding, and he is good at landscapes, flowers and birds. Mainly inheriting the traditions of the Tang and Song dynasties, Wu Sheng's "Great View Record" commented: "And the famous relics of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Five Dynasties, and the Northern Song Dynasty can still explore the mysteries and determine their essence." His flower and bird master Zong Zhao Chang, the early painting style is exquisite and craftsmanship, belongs to the brush color painting method, not very recognized by the scholars, and later because "get drunk in wine, fingers fluttered", so changed to ink freehand, tending to be rough and simple, but also better conveyed the meaning of the literati. Landscape master Zhao Qianli, making green and green colors, but the color is more elegant, and the mountain stone form is also simple and decorative, which has a sense of childishness of literati painting. The figure brushwork is delicate and strong, and the lines are close to The Ancient Gossamer Stroke of Gu Kaizhi, which is also more ancient and clumsy. His creative ideas advocated that painting focus on reflecting the temperament of the literati, getting rid of the deliberate pursuit of form, and advocating the so-called "morale" with layman's meaning. His painting style is characterized by meticulous and clumsy workmanship, seeking charm without taking off the shape, morale, and the preparation of writers. His surviving flower and bird paintings include the "Eight Flowers Diagram" volume, the "Flower and Bird Diagram" volume, the "White Lotus Diagram" volume, etc., the landscape paintings include the "Floating Jade Mountain Jutu" volume, the "Mountain Residence Map" volume, etc., and the character paintings include the "Chai Sang Weng Statue" volume, the "Lanting Guan Goose Map" volume, etc.
Appreciation of representative works
"Floating Jade Mountain Residence Map" (partial), color on paper, 29.6 cm in length and 98.7 cm in width, now in the Shanghai Museum.
This is a landscape painting created by Qian Xuan based on the theme of his own hermit life. The structure of the chapter is rigorous, the shape of the main mountain stones is blocky, angular, decorative, the outline is lightly outlined with thin lines, and the undulating shape is rendered with light ink rubbing, with few obvious outlines; the branches of the trees are outlined with a thin pen. This painting method breaks through the tradition of traditional green landscape painting to outline heavy colors, has a new style of elegance and clarity, and is also a typical work of his fusion of green landscape painting and ink landscape painting.
"Eight Flowers" volume (partial), color on paper, 29.4x333.9 cm, collection of the Palace Museum.
This is Qian Xuan's early flower masterpiece, this figure inherits the Song Dynasty courtyard body, the brushwork is fine, the dyeing is into the gods, and it is elegant and beautiful, and the rich literati paint temperament. Zhao Mengfu made the following inscription on this figure in the twenty-sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1289): "The style is like a close body, and the color is beautiful, which is impossible to get." Er came here to drink heavily, his fingers trembled, and it was difficult to do this again, and the later generations in the township imitated it. If there is a disadvantage of the owner's heart, then this picture can be cherished. Zhao's so-called "near body" is the guide to the Song courtyard body, which shows that Qian Xuan's early flower and bird paintings are indeed the Southern Song Dynasty courtyard body.
