Chapter 581 "Beautiful View of West Lake" Red-crowned crane

The fourth item that Zhou Rui obtained in the West Lake was the Chinese painting work of "Huang Binhong" teacher - "Beautiful Scenery of West Lake".

Huang Binhong is a modern painter, good at painting landscapes, and is a master of landscape painting. When he was six years old, he copied the Shen Tingrui landscape book in his family's collection, and learned flowers and birds from Zheng Shan, Chen Chongguang, etc.

In his early years, he was influenced by the "Xin'an School", and was characterized by dry brushwork and light ink, sparse and elegant, which was "Bai Binhong", and after the age of 80, he was characterized by dense black and translucent black, which was "Black Binhong". His technique is due to Li Liufang and Cheng Di, who attach importance to the unity of fiction and reality, complexity and simplicity, and sparseness in the chapter and method; The so-called "black, dense, thick and heavy" painting style is his distinctive feature.

The scroll of "Beautiful Scenery of West Lake" in Zhou Rui's hand is a paper scroll, 122.8 centimeters in length and 48.8 centimeters in width.

In this picture, you can see the rippling water, the verdant mountains in the distance, the towering mountain islands, and the clouds and mist. The vista is a hillside, the ancient pines are lush, and there is a Leifeng Pagoda on three sides, although it is a little small, but it is very clear.

The West Lake on the picture looks very vast, with rippling blue waves and undulating microwaves.

There is a pavilion in the center of the lake, the pavilion is hexagonal, independent of the cold river, and there are many trees planted by the lake, swaying gently in the wind.

On the mountain range in the distance, the trees are thick, the branches are slanted, and the mountains rise to the top and stand on their own.

The mountains are lined with water, and the mountains are baked with water, so that the mountains and rivers have a close relationship with each other's beauty.

The picture is clear and beautiful, quite orderly.

The idea is strange in the plain, the quality is taken from the near, and the potential is taken from afar, not falling off the ordinary, the pen and ink are dry and moist, there are virtual and real, complex but not chaotic.

His painting skills have reached the state of perfection.

This painting can also fully reflect his artistic style of "thick peaks and mountains, blue waves".

For "Huang Binhong", Zhou Rui knows.

When he was in college, he once saw a news story.

Huang Binhong's picture scroll has risen in value by "300 million" times.

It's 300 million, not 300, 300, 3,000.

In June last year, Huang Binhong's masterpiece "Huangshan Tangkou" was sold for 345 million yuan, the highest price for his personal work, and the buyer was Lu Dong Reading Automobile, which will be collected in his Shang Art Museum in Yuandu.

It is said that in 1952, Huang Binhong's paintings were only sold for 1 yuan a piece, and ordinary workers could buy many paintings with a month's salary.

Until 1977, Wang Xuetao's paintings were 12 yuan per square foot, Li Keran was 15 yuan, and Lu Yanshao's paintings were given at a price of 8 yuan per square foot.

In the early 80s of the last century, in the "Foreign Guest Service Department" of the National Museum in front of Tiananmen Square, Wu Zuoren's Runge was 5 yuan per square foot, Li Keran was 8 yuan, and Liu Bingsen was 6 cents and 8 cents.

······

The low one is scary.

As a result, decades later, Huang Binhong's paintings rose from 1 yuan to 300 million yuan, and the price skyrocketed by 300 million times.

This also seems to verify his sentence: my work will not be recognized until 50 years later.

After Zhou Rui saw that it was Huang Binhong's work, he directly put it away.

And other ordinary red envelopes, there are also precious things among them.

After checking the ordinary red envelope, there is also the red envelope of life.

In the first red envelope of life, Zhou Rui got two birds - red-crowned cranes.

The red-crowned crane, the auspicious beast of China, is recognized as a first-class literary bird in the history of China.

In ancient Chinese mythology, it is generally a fairy mount!

The Ming and Qing dynasties endowed the red-crowned crane with the cultural connotation of loyalty, integrity, and noble morality.

On the official uniform of the civil official, the red-crowned crane is embroidered by the civil official, and it is listed as an important symbol second only to the royal dragon and phoenix, so people also call the crane "a bird". The crane is also used as a symbol of high officials.

An auspicious pattern of a crane standing on the rock at the head of the tide takes the homonym of "tide" and "chao", symbolizing "a product when the dynasty" is like the prime minister; the pattern of the crane flying in the clouds symbolizes "the high rise of a product"; the pattern of the crane flying at sunrise symbolizes "pointing to the rising of the sun".

The red-crowned crane is the rumored crane, symbolizing happiness, good fortune, longevity and loyalty.

Red-crowned cranes are generally used as mounts for gods.

Very famous.

For example, next to Yuan Shi Tianzun, there is a white crane boy.

Another example is Lu Dongbin, who once rode a crane.

That's really chic, freehand.

The red-crowned crane is known as the "god of wetlands", and because the red-crowned crane has a lifespan of 50~60 years, people often paint it with pine trees as a symbol of longevity.

It has appeared frequently in the literary and artistic works of various countries, and in the tombs of the Yin Shang era, the image of cranes appeared in sculptures. The bronze bells of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the ritual vessels in the shape of cranes have appeared.

Huang Lao Taoism flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It developed from Taoism to Taoism, and established a religious organization, the founder of which was Zhang Daoling before 1900. He said that the Taishang Dao King came and awarded him the title of "Heavenly Master" and founded the Five Bucket Rice Dao.

The place where he learned the Tao was Heming Mountain, and there were buildings such as Hexuan and Tinghe Pavilion. In the Taoist book "Seven Signatures of the Cloud", it is said that Zhang Daoling can ride a crane to and fro.

Buddhism is about cultivating the afterlife, while Taoism is about cultivating this life. Taoism believes that the life of a person, after cultivation, the soul and body can ascend to heaven and live forever, so as to reach the realm of immortals, "rest with heaven and earth, and live with the sun and the moon".

Zhou Rui likes red-crowned cranes very much.

Among the ancient Chinese beasts, in addition to dragons and phoenixes, there are only white tigers, turtles, spirit apes, cranes and the like.

Among these types, Zhou Rui's favorite is the crane.

I like the others too, but it's not as good as the cranes.

In the second life red envelope, Zhou Rui got six pairs of koi fish in the West Lake.

In the third red envelope of life, Zhou Rui got a few pines and cypresses.

In the fourth life red envelope, Zhou Rui got another rarity.

Rare bird - crested ibis.

I believe that there are not many people who are unfamiliar with the crested ibis.

Zhou Rui still remembers that when he was in elementary school, he also learned a text about the crested ibis.

It seems to be an article about the protection of animals.

Specifically, Zhou Rui has forgotten.

More than ten years ago, the crested ibis was quite rare, and later with the country's vigorous improvement of the environment, various policies were introduced to protect rare birds and animals.

After all these years of development.

The population of rare birds such as the crested ibis has been restored.

Just like giant pandas, after artificial breeding, more and more panda babies are born.

In the mountain and river space, Zhou Rui still has a few of them.

The original pair of pandas have grown up and have children of their own.

It's meaty, and it's very loving.

When you sleep on the ground, it looks like meatballs.

The cute appearance makes people want to hold it in their arms.

Then rub that cute little belly.

Then, Zhou Rui put the crested ibis into the space of mountains and rivers.
