Volume 2 The Journey to the South Chapter 490 The Eight Mountain People

Many of the people present were amazed, and it deserves to be a famous book in history! "Mid-Autumn Festival" pen like a fire chopsticks to paint ashes, the word momentum is continuous, extremely prepared law, known as "a book". This also shows the depth of Wang Xianzhi's skills, and he wrote 32 words in one breath and one stroke.

"The history of the three calligraphy treasures is very bumpy! It is the domestic Mi Fu copy is not easy to come by. Li Lao sighed. Almost all of these treasures have a poignant history, and they have survived to the present in a very thrilling way.

Take the domestic Mi Fu's "Mid-Autumn Festival" and "Boyuan Post" as an example, after 1911 to 1924 Pu Yi out of the palace, "Bo Yuan Post", "Mid-Autumn Festival" was hidden in the Shoukang Palace where the Jingyi Imperial Concubine lived, Pu Yi out of the palace, Jingyi Imperial Concubine carried this post out of the palace, sold to antique dealers through her maternal nephew, and sold to Guo Shiwu.

Guo Shiwuzang kept these two posts secret and unknown, and after his death, these two posts belonged to his son Guo Zhaojun. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Guo Zhaojun donated all his father Guo Shiwu's porcelain collection to the Palace Museum. Central Bank North. Position of branch manager.

In 1949 he retreated with the bank to Guangzhou. State, in Canton. The state was evacuated to incense. Harbor. Guo Zhaojun staked his "Mid-Autumn Festival" and "Boyuan Post" to an Indian because of his business relationship. Then India pledged it to incense with more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. HSBC Hong Kong.

Because of the loss of business capital, the mortgage expired a year later, unable to redeem, and ready to sell, he found Xu Bojiao to discuss a solution. Xu Bojiao immediately wrote a letter to the director of the Palace Museum, and the owner reported the incident to Premier Zhou. On November 5, 1950, Premier Zhou personally wrote a letter to Ma Xulun and others, instructing him to "agree to buy back Wang Xian's "Mid-Autumn Festival" and Wang Xun's "Boyuan Post", and finally returned "Erxi" to the Palace Museum.

"Your white spoon is really lucky, these three are panda-level national treasures. By the way, if there are any ancient calligraphy and paintings of our country, maybe there are some precious national treasures, and you have time to set up his style. Li Lao said.

"There shouldn't be any, looking at that guy's downfall, he shouldn't hide it privately." Tang Xin replied. Thinking back to Brown's appearance, you can guess that these ink treasures have absolutely all been taken out.

It's a pity that Li Lao waited, but it was also expected. To be honest, it is already a blessing to encounter three such precious national treasures at once.

"What other precious works are there in that pile of calligraphy and paintings? Take it and we'll all take a look. I thought the old-timer said to Hong Yaobao.

"It's all good, among them, there are a lot of Tang Yin's works, and there are more of the Eight Great Mountains, and there are more in the Ming and Qing Dynasties!" Hong Yaobao took it over and introduced.

When it comes to entering the Bada Mountain, you must not think that it is eight entering, but in fact, it is only one entry, called Zhu Qi. This is not only a very famous painter, but also a royal family, unfortunately, because he lived in the late Ming Dynasty, his life was very bumpy.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qi was nineteen years old, and soon his father died, and his heart was extremely melancholy and grief, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and hid in the mountains and wilderness to save himself. Zhu Qi's paintings often see a peculiar signature, as if like a crane-shaped symbol, in fact, it is composed of the four characters "March 19", in order to express the deep affection of nostalgia for the homeland, Jiashen March 19 is the day of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

When he was 60 years old, he began to paint with the signed poem "Bada Mountain", and when he signed the money, he often connected the four words "Bada Mountain", as if the words "crying" and "laughing", in order to express his painful feelings of crying and laughing.

Coincidentally, his younger brother Zhu Daoming, whose name is Qiuyue, is also a painter, his style is similar to that of his brother, and he must be rough and bold. His calligraphy and painting are signed by Niu Shihui, and these three characters are written in cursive, much like the four characters "life does not worship the king", expressing the mood of not giving in to the Manchu Dynasty. At the beginning of the signature of the two brothers, the characters of Zhu were disassembled, one with the word "cow" and the other with the character "eight". Such incognito can be described as well-intentioned.

"Oh? Tang Bohu and Bada Shani's works? Take a look. At this time, the interest of those old-timers was aroused again, and they clamored to see the paintings.

Needless to say, in the Ming Dynasty, this entry was too famous, and his paintings were very superb with Zhu Zhishan, Qiu Ying, etc., not to mention that Tang Bohu was also known as the first of the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty?

Bada Yamairi's works are also unique in the history of China, and the exaggeration used is the most obvious. Write love with form, deform and take God; The ink is simple and the pen is unrestrained; The layout is sparse and the artistic conception is empty; Energetic and majestic.

His forms and techniques are the best expression of his true feelings. The pen is indulgent, does not constitute the law, vigorous and round, full of ease, and the chapter is not complete but complete. His flowers and birds are not calculated how many or small, but focus on the status and momentum of the arrangement. and whether it is used at the right time, surprisingly and cleverly.

After looking at a landscape painting of the Bada Mountains, a senior sighed: "The Bada Mountains into the landscape seem strange, ridiculous, and rough, and more similar to the works of the Enlightened and Beginners, but if you taste it carefully, you seem to see Huang Gongwang's luxuriant; Dong Xiangguang's purity; Ni Yunlin's simplicity is far away. The right of the three is weird and wonderful, and it goes straight to the realm of arhats. ”

"Huh! His peculiar background and the background of the times in which he lived make his paintings not as straightforward as other painters, but through his obscure inscriptions and strange and bizarre deformations. Li Lao said with a smile.

Those who have seen his works will find that the fish and birds painted by Bada Shaniri have only a few brushstrokes, or elongated or constricted. In particular, the pair of eyes, sometimes oval, are not the eyes of the fish and birds that we see in our lives, the eyes of fish and birds in life are round, and the eyeballs do not rotate in the center.

The eyes of the fish and birds in the Eight Mountains can be turned, and sometimes they will roll their eyes and stare in. The mountains and rocks he painted are not like those painted by ordinary painters, they are round and round, big at the top and small at the bottom, top-heavy, and he can rest wherever he wants, regardless of whether it is stable or not.

The trees he painted, with thousands of dead branches, only a few coconuts and a few leaves, could not pick out such a tree among tens of thousands of trees in the forest. The landscapes, mountains, and bare trees he painted, staggered and desolate.

"The paintings of Bada Yamairi are a bit similar to the current comics." Hong Yaobao said with a smile. Looking at his paintings, maybe everyone will feel this way.

That style of painting is not at all like the ancient Chinese ink paintings, the shape is not the same, but the idea to be expressed is very clear, because the use of exaggerated techniques can better reflect the various emotions in the painter's heart.

Hearing Hong Yaobao's evaluation, Li Lao also smiled slightly, and it was not the first time he had heard this kind of words.

"In fact, the biggest characteristic of his works is that they are 'few', one is that there are few objects depicted, and the other is that there are few brushes used to shape objects. Every fish, bird, chick, tree, flower, fruit, or even a single painting can form a complete picture, which can be said to be indispensable. Before entering the cloud 'cherish ink like gold', and said 'a little more than a little', only the eight major congresses really did this, it can be said that there is no ancient entry, and it is difficult to succeed in the future. Li Lao commented.
