The "Forty-four Kinds of Imperial Inscriptions of Yangju" was written by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty himself for forty-four different kinds of foreign chrysanthemums, and only three of the court painters depicted all forty-four kinds of foreign chrysanthemums and "recorded the imperial poems", but the banner "Forty-four Kinds of Imperial Inscriptions of Foreign Chrysanthemums" painted by Li Bingde was well preserved.
This work depicts the chrysanthemum silently opening in the autumn wind and autumn rain. The entire work is about 478 square feet. The left and right sides of the frame are wooden poles, one of which is semicircular, such a format is traditionally called "horizontal axis", such a huge painting, rare in the world.
In the 37th year of Qianlong (1772), the imitation of Suzhou's famous garden "Lion Forest" was completed, and the Lion Forest became an important place for the Qianlong Emperor Chongyang to ascend to admire chrysanthemums, wing chrysanthemums and paint chrysanthemums, especially the forty-four kinds of chrysanthemums displayed on the two Taihu Stones in the Lion Forest, which became a beautiful landscape. The court painter Li Bingde painted this real scene.
The painting takes the two huge and exquisite Taihu stones of the Lion Forest as the main background, and 44 kinds of foreign chrysanthemums bloom around the Taihu stone, and the picture is magnificent in color and the layout is staggered. What is even more rare is that each yangju is equipped with a five-word poem of the Qianlong Emperor's imperial inscription, and these forty-four Yongyangju imperial poems were included in the "Collection of Imperial Poems of Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty" 8 years later when the Qianlong Emperor was 70 years old.
Poetry painting works are not uncommon, but a painting with a flower with a poem is really unprecedented, how to love Juju's obsession and talent to paint this pure heart and elegance. Ju enjoys this honor exclusively, there is no flattery of humility, no arbitrary mannerisms, she is still silently open, and her pulse is full of affection. A heart fragrance is infinite, even if it is a thousand words, but the poet's heart language, how to impose on her. Only sighing that Shan Yue did not know what was going on in his heart, the water and wind were empty in front of the flowers.
