Chapter 101: The Five Elements of Feng Shui in "The Journey to the Mountains and Streams".
"What!" The people of the Feng Shui Club were stunned when they heard Shen Jiangtao say this.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Shen Jiangtao waved his hand: "However, I understand feng shui." ”
While speaking, Shen Jiangtao looked around, and when he saw a painting, he walked over.
Carambola watched Shen Jiangtao walk towards the painting, immediately held his forehead, and looked at Miao Li and the others helplessly: "It seems that our president really doesn't know how to paint." ”
"Why?" Yu Xu asked curiously.
Carambola pointed to the painting that Shen Jiangtao walked over: "Look, it's not a painting drawn by the art department, but a print, originally Fan Kuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains". ”
Well, Shen Jiangtao didn't even know about the paintings and prints, and sure enough, he really didn't know how to paint.
Shen Jiangtao walked up to the printed ornament, which attracted the contempt of some art students who came to the exhibition hall to see the paintings.
Someone recognized Shen Jiangtao as the one who competed with Cai Fanyu, and even laughed quietly.
"Look, the president of the Feng Shui Society is standing in front of that printed ornament, and he is still looking at it with relish."
"Haha, he can only read prints......"
Everyone's discussion made the Feng Shui Club very embarrassed.
Shen Jiangtao didn't care, and after taking a closer look, he turned his head sideways and asked star fruit: "What kind of painting did you just say this is?" ”
"This is the great painter Fan Kuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", a famous painting of the national treasure level." When I was learning to paint, I once copied this painting and was very familiar with it.
"Traveling in Streams and Mountains" is a silk ink pen painting created by Fan Kuan in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The main part of the picture is a towering mountain, and the high mountain is standing up, and the majesty is overwhelming.
The top of the mountain is lush with jungle, and deep in the valley there is a waterfall that cascades down and plummets.
The huge rocks under the mountain peaks are abrupt, and the trees are straight.
In the foreground, a stream flows, and a caravan carrying goods travels along a mountain road in the mountains, adding vitality to the quiet mountain forest.
"The map of the river and mountain travel is aptly named." Shen Jiangtao exclaimed: "The momentum of this painting is very strong, the giant peak wall stands, several flats occupy the picture, the mountain is dense with trees, the waterfall flows down from the mountainside, and the huge rocks at the foot of the mountain are vertical and horizontal, making the whole painting completely three-dimensional." There is a business team walking on the mountain road, a bay of stream flowing on the side of the road, look at this painting, you can hear the sound of water, people, mules and horses, this is a work that integrates the five elements of feng shui very well. ”
"I don't know how to draw." Shen Jiangtao emphasized again, and then said: "I understand feng shui, this painting has all five elements, so the aura circulates and gives birth to momentum." ”
Then, Shen Jiangtao pointed to the printed "Traveling Map of Streams and Mountains" and began to talk about the five elements of feng shui inside.
First of all, this painting does not leave a lot of white space like other landscape paintings, but directly places a boulder-like mountain peak in the center of the whole painting, reaching into the sky.
This makes the first feeling of people who see this painting be that the mountains are looking up, so the feng shui eye of this painting is "majestic".
The majestic momentum, among the five elements, belongs to the West.
Oriental aquatic wood, in the momentum is vast; The corresponding Western native gold is majestic in momentum.
The reason why "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" has a majestic momentum is that although it shows mountains, the shape presents the word "gold".
Moreover, the forest on this mountain is not high, and it looks like a piece of gold has rust on it.
If you ignore the pedestrians, as well as the trees in front as decorations, the main boulder behind can be seen as a piece of ore.
When Shen Jiangtao was evaluating this painting, many people gradually gathered around, and when they heard his statement, they were a little disdainful and contemptuous, and some people fell into deep thought.
When Shen Jiangtao said this, she took a closer look and suddenly found that she could really see it this way.
Shen Jiangtao ignored the discussions of the people behind him, and continued: "Think about it, it is not surprising that such a mountain is; But such a large piece of ore stands there, and it is easy to show the insignificance of people. So, the main attribute of the five elements of this painting is gold. ”
Then, he sat down directly on the ground, took out a piece of paper, and wrote a large "gold" character in the very middle.
Shen Jiangtao then continued his analysis.
Once the main body of the "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" is gold, once it is determined, the center of the forest trees in front of it is marked with wood, and the stream in front of it is marked with water, and the walking mountain road is marked with fire, and the front end of the painting is a stone slope marked with soil.
From the inside to the outside, it happens to be: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the five elements are turning; The angle of appreciation of people is to look at the painting from the outside, and it is a reversal of the five elements: earth, fire, water, wood, and gold.
The center of gravity falls on the gold, and the momentum is majestic and three-dimensional.
As soon as Shen Jiangtao said this, the people who came over looked at the painting in front of them again, and immediately felt that it was very reasonable, and even some people who despised Shen Jiangtao before were surprised.
The most inspiring were a few fine arts students, who immediately wrote down this order, and I have to say, it was a really good way to compose a good picture.
When painting a picture, the most difficult thing is to compose the picture, and as for the details to fill it, it is the second.
Shen Jiangtao continued to read "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", but frowned and shook his head.
"What's wrong?" According to the five elements of feng shui that Shen Jiangtao said, the star fruit re-looked at the "Journey of Streams and Mountains", and felt quite reasonable, and then saw Shen Jiangtao shaking his head, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Is there something wrong with this print?
Shen Jiangtao also said incomprehensibly: "One thing about this painting is not very harmonious, that is, the shade and grass leaves in the lower right corner are obviously too luxuriant, and the proportions are slightly larger. ”
Hearing Shen Jiangtao say this, those who originally thought that there was some truth in his five elements shook their heads and laughed: This kid really doesn't know the height of the sky, and he dares to say that there is something unreasonable about a national treasure-level painting like "Traveling in Streams and Mountains".
Shen Jiangtao walked to the painting, stretched out his hand and gestured a few times, and couldn't help shaking his head: "It's really wrong here, the proportion of the whole painting is calculated, and the shade and grass blades here should be sparse." ”
Then, Shen Jiangtao explained that the growth of plants and trees is determined by the moisture of water, and the lower right position can be referred to by the vegetation on the left side of the stream, and the two should be roughly the same whole, so as to appear harmonious.
Now on the "Journey to the Mountains and Streams", there are only two trees by the stream in the lower left, and the grass is sparse; The grass in the lower right corner is deep and dense, which not only does not conform to the five elements of aquatic wood.
Also move the center of gravity of the whole painting to the lower right corner.
Hearing Shen Jiangtao say this, some of the people who came over scolded rudely: "What the hell, after talking nonsense, I actually said that there is something bad about the national treasure-level "Xishan Travel Map"!" It's ridiculous! ”
"I didn't say the painting was bad." Shen Jiangtao stretched out his hand and pointed to the dense shade of grass in the lower right corner: "The painter who painted this painting must want to make the appreciators notice here, that is: there must be something hidden here." ”
What is hidden?
This statement is very novel, and the people who come around immediately focus their eyes there.
