Chapter Ninety-Three: Chrysanthemum Diagram

"Flower and bird painting is to give people the spiritual enjoyment of beauty, which requires the painter to grasp the psychological state of the appreciator, "Out of the Water Hibiscus Picture" is a good way to do this, "people envy the lotus that out of the mud and not stained character, so the painter will shorten the distance between it and the viewer as much as possible, enlarge its scale on the picture, and give people a strong feeling," but the name of the painter is impossible to verify, which is undoubtedly a pity. ”

The third work, "Miscellaneous Flower Scroll", is a work by Xu Wei in the Ming Dynasty.

The Miscellaneous Flower Scroll depicts thirteen different plants from left to right. As far as the eye can see, all kinds of flowers and trees are positive or oblique, or gathered or scattered, and the ink color is thick and light. The whole painting seems to be easy to paint, but it is smooth and free, the momentum is the whole painting in one go, and the depiction of objects is meticulous. In the change of the shade of ink, it gives people a sense of vigor and vigor and dripping ink.

"Xu Wei once claimed to be the first in books, second in poetry, third in writing, and fourth in painting, but in fact, this is not the case, but "Miscellaneous Flower Scroll" is indeed the best flower he painted. "Miscellaneous Flowers" is a representative work of Xu Wei's ink freehand flowers. Although he advocates "not seeking to resemble form", it does not mean that he wants to perfunctory things in reality; On the contrary, because he has carefully observed and deeply experienced the objects of his sketching, and has personally planted bamboos and trimmed grapes, he is different from those who are detached from real life and blindly scribble, he uses simple and bright brushwork to summarize and express the image simply.

The fourth work, "Lotus Waterfowl", is a work by Zhu Qi in the early Qing Dynasty

In this "Lotus Waterfowl Picture", the lone stone is upside down, the residual lotus hangs obliquely, and a waterfowl with a shrunken neck and white eyes squatting alone on the top of the stone, which looks extremely cold and lonely, very much like Zhu Qi's self-portrait, the whole painting is concise and concise, and the large blank space in the painting enhances the sad atmosphere of the work.

"The eyes of the birds in Zhu Qi's pen are the most distinctive, as if they don't look at people very much...... Lonely and remnants, a large blank space, 'no painting is a wonderful place', it is difficult for ordinary people to reach this realm".

There have been people who have written poems for this painting: "Two or three lotus stems rush to the sky, and the lonely bird raises its head and perches under the leaves." For 300 years of cold and strange strangeness, who is the enemy behind Zhu Qi? It is similar to what Mr. Wang Zhen meant.

The fifth work is "Flowers", the sixth is "Chrysanthemum", the seventh is "Pisces", the eighth is "Spring Dawn in Nanxi", the ninth is "Eagle Chestnut", and the tenth is "Qingxing in Qiutang".

All these works are the masterpieces of flower and bird paintings by some famous artists in ancient times.

Xu Hong was also familiar with these works during his lifetime, and he could completely rely on his memory to copy these works.

In this way, after another week of creation, Xu Hongjing 'created' this masterpiece as well.

These paintings, although not as 'glorious' as the one "Picture of the Wealth of the Jade Hall", looks. But each one is also a masterpiece, as long as people look at it, no one does not say good.

After Xu Hong finished painting these works, he asked Zhao Ming and the fat man Zhang Ze to go over and look at them.

They also painted some works, and when Xu Hong said that he had finished painting ten more works, they all took their own works and compared them with Xu Hong's works!

It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening than not!

Zhang Ze painted a painting called "Swimming Fish", which depicts several carp swimming in aquatic plants with a lotus flower beside them. It is really similar to Xu Hong's "Pisces Picture", but as long as the paintings of the two are compared together, the good, bad, beautiful and ugly are immediately presented!

"Zhang Ze, what are you painting! A few clownfish, compared with a rotten lotus flower and a brother Xu, are really worlds apart! Hurry up and stay in the garbage basket, don't be embarrassed here. ”

The fat man didn't say that his paintings were not good, but he criticized Zhang Ze first!

"! You fat man, what about your own paintings! What else is it called, "Autumn Chrysanthemum" and Brother Xu's "Chrysanthemum", your work is a rotten cabbage, is it still like a chrysanthemum! The leaf painting is so big, you think you are fat, everything in this world is fat!

If you let the first talented woman in ancient times, Mrs. Li Qingzhao see this painting, it is estimated that she will be angry, how do you write the famous masterpieces of others: 'You can't lose your soul, the curtain rolls the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers'.

But what are you drawing? The slender chrysanthemums are all painted into big fat people, do you think you live in the Tang Dynasty! Fat is beautiful, even appreciate flowers, but also like 'chubby' peony flowers, and don't like slender 'chrysanthemums'!

I fucking see you're not drawing someone else's chrysanthemum, it's purely your own. Haha, haha------"

After Zhang Ze finished speaking, he laughed to himself.

The fat man was ignited by Zhang Ze's words now. He rubbed it over, hugged Zhang Ze over, pressed him on the sofa, and wanted to take off Zhang Ze's pants!

"What kind of! Believe it or not, rot your 'chrysanthemums' now. Zhang Ze was miserable now, so he could only ask Xu Hong for help.

"Brother Xu, help! This beast has 'raped' me! ”

Xu Hong saw it, so he had to walk over with a smile and grab the fat man's arm: "Hey, brother, don't do this, we are here in the studio, it is an elegant place, how can there be these vulgar 'shows'!" ”

Fatty, only then did he let go of Zhang Ze and stood up again.

"This kid, he just owes a beating!" The fat man is still muttering!

"Damn! Whoever owes the beating, 'the gentleman doesn't use his hands' to say that people can't move roughly, it's really boring. Zhang Ze was a little embarrassed and straightened his clothes. That's it, twisted and pinched, it's really similar to a woman.

"Okay, stop messing around, hurry up and take a look at Brother Xu's paintings! Both of you don't have very good drawings, so let's put them aside! Zhao Ming put aside the paintings of Zhang Ze and the fat man.

"Let's take a look, this time, we're using that piece as the cover!" Xu Hong once again gave this question to everyone.

"Since Brother Xu used my "Pastoral Song Picture" last time, then this time, I will use this "Pisces Picture" on the cover of the Yiyi." Zhang Zeyou painted "Swimming Fish" by himself, so he wanted Xu Hong to use this similar work "Pisces Picture"!

"Damn, this time Brother Xu has already used your Tiyi's work, this time I have to give this opportunity to others! I mention that I use this "Autumn Chrysanthemum Picture", how good this painting is! A slender and touching chrysanthemum. At first glance, it reminds people of Li Dacai's poem - 'People are thinner than yellow flowers'! ”
