Appreciation of Works

Tampo Mingzhi and the great hermit of the Chinese painting world zai Dao Ma Liang

Mr. Zaidao Ma Liang has been practicing art for more than 60 years and is a well-known danqing hermit in the art world. Mr. Lao, who has always regarded himself as a "love mountain man", asked him why he loved landscape creation so much, and replied: "Ancient painting on the clouds: "Landscape painting is the mainstream of Chinese painting, also known as literati painting"; The ancients had clouds: the benevolent love the mountain, the wise man enjoyed the water" Landscape painting is like the pearl in the crown of Chinese painting, and it is the highest creative subject of Chinese painting art. Song Ren Fan Kuan's "Journey map of Xishan Mountain" or Wang Ximeng's "Map of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and Li Cheng's "Map of Xiaoshan Qingluan" are all the author's own use of the spirit of materialization and self-transformation to solidify the subconscious of the heart into a series of mountain peaks, integrating the "sincere qi, yin and yang qi, vitality and vitality" of their respective levels of consciousness, and finally achieving their own immortal works of eternal flow.

Looking at Mr. Zaidao's landscape creations, you can see the traces of his fagu everywhere. After watching Mr. Wang's paintings, it is always fascinating and fascinating. There is a wonderful feeling of "feasible and promising, not as good as being able to live and travel", in the flourishing years, the Tang Dynasty "Jinghao", the originator of the Chinese Shanshui North School, and the essence of the painting art of the Famous Northern Song Dynasty Landscape Masters "Li Cheng" and "Fan Kuan" who inherited and developed Jinghao, attaches great importance to the observation and experience of natural mountain and river scenery, so he has long been traversed in Shaanxi Huayin, Zhongnan Mountain and other places, watching the subtle changes of the clouds and smoke, the wind and the moon, and the scenery. The majestic and imposing scenery of the mountains and mountains and the cold and desolate scenery of the dense forests of old trees are vividly presented in the pen.

The landscape painted by Mr. Zaidao can always make people feel magnificent and vivid, the heavy cliffs, the first line of waterfalls become the painting eyes, carrying up and down, so that the peaks are full of aura, and the floating mountains cross the picture, resulting in a sense of space before and after. "Only four inches near the mountain, Vientiane is full of mustard", the depiction of tree vegetation pays great attention to the forms and characteristics of different types, and the vegetation is treated vividly and vividly, and the changes are moderate. This is also one of the reasons why Song painting is superior to the history of painting in previous dynasties, which shows that Mr. Li has long been familiar with the exquisite use of "six to four potentials" in order to enhance landscape painting.  His paintings show the natural beauty of mountain springs and forests, broaden and enhance the innovative way of traditional Chinese painting in the use of brush and ink, mountain stone forest springs, heavy mountains and mountains, wonderful with pens, shen yun province, wind and bone, and deep willingness. Wherever the brush goes, it is like an axe splitting a knife, a thousand walls standing on the wall, a school of masculinity, righteousness and awe-inspiring, praising the truth, goodness and beauty of traditional Chinese excellent culture and art, and expressing the true feelings of Chinese scholars and literati paintings.

The landscapes and rivers made by Mr. Pingyuan are high and far-reaching, and the changes are rich, all because of Mr. Bona's erudition and learning, and the reason for Bona's strengths. In Mr. Danqing's life, his landscape paintings are more common in folding belts, unsouling ropes, philing, axe chiseling, and pulling ding in the mud, and he also has his own skills and evolution in the physical strain of the method. In his paintings, everywhere the brush and ink goes, it is innovated on the basis of the traditional techniques of Chinese painting, taking advantage of the vividness of the real scenes in the natural world and the wonder of the natural creation of the teaching method. The Creator created man, and for the reproduction of mankind, he created the heavens and the earth, the ocean and the mountains, the rivers and trees, the birds and all kinds of animals, trees, trees and insects for people to enjoy and use. From the precision of the universe Senluo, the transformation of time and seasons, the drop of mountains and rivers, the flow of water at the peak of the forest valley, the flow of smoke and clouds, the alternating changes of mountains and forests, etc., everything in the material world is so harmonious and perfect, in the face of all the beautiful sentient beings, he sighed: "People are too small in the world, if you paint more than the real water, light, mountains, grass, fish, and trees, the posture of the meteorological spectacle, I am ashamed to learn shallow!" The painter can only paint, write its form, seek its charm, and divide its yin and yang in the change of pen and ink."

Since ancient times, China has paid attention to :"poetic and picturesque", and when we read Mr. Zaidao's works, it is full of the connotation of this good story. The heart is lucky, and the image is not confused. It is Jing Hao's accurate expression of qi rhyme. The arrogance of the real landscape painting in the momentum is the soul of the immortal works of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Mr. Zaidao is now integrated in his paintings, and the law is ancient but not ancient. Rather than creating landscapes between inches, he is using his soul to correct all the unnatural details of nature, and using a paintbrush to express his higher spiritual inspiration and ignorance. Whoever attains this Tao, his painting will be high, straight to the Song and Yuan! Art comes from life and is higher than life, depending entirely on the moral consciousness of the author himself. When we pray in our hearts for the Creator to come to the world more beautifully, we can express more prominent forms of truth, goodness and beauty in our works!

Don't be afraid of the floating clouds to cover your eyes, just because you are at the highest level. The ancestors of the older generation of the Chang'an School, who created a large number of heirloom works that reflect reality, are far away from us. Among them were Shi Lu, who had a neck-to-neck friendship with Mr. Zaidao, Zhao Wangyun, who had a gentleman's friendship, and He Haixia, who had a friendship with a yearless friend, and their friendship was incomparably deep. Many people know that in those cruel and tragic years, Master Shi Lu was persecuted by the "Gang of Four" and was in an extremely dangerous situation, many people were afraid to avoid it, and even more so, they fell into the well, and Mr. Ma Liang resolutely and resolutely hid Shi Lu in his home during the 1974 campaign to criticize the bourgeoisie's "literary and artistic black line", so that Shi Lu escaped a disaster. The true character is: The soldier dies for the confidant. Therefore, Master Shi Lu specially inscribed for Mr. Zaidao: "Hui Hui True Book, Han Zhi Conscience." "To express the high praise for the character of Mr. Mr. Cai Hezhou specially wrote a poem for Ma Liang: "When the literary style is halal, Ma Liang is higher than the wind and dust." Warm fellow believers see their confidants, and no one in the world knows the king. He also praised him as a "contemporary Meng Taster". Therefore, after the catastrophe of the "Cultural Revolution", people mentioned him and called him "Qinzhong Painting Hero" and "Generation Painting Hero". Therefore, on the gentleman's deeds, it is difficult for people without chivalry to do it.

Nowadays, the "Chang'an School of Painting" has long been famous at home and abroad, Mr. Zaidao painstakingly adheres to the ideals and pursuits of the older generation of masters, still keeps in mind the teachings of the deceased, although the artistic realm has been perfected, however, never arrogant, mentioning Shi Lu, He Haixia and other masters, he is still worshipping! Therefore, some people sighed: "Xi Ma Liang saw the old man, and the old man did not see Ma Liang." "The masters of that year had high hopes for Mr. Ma Liang, and now Mr. Ma Liang can give them a satisfactory answer. This is mr. Ambition. However, whenever he mentioned his paintings, he always said modestly: "Master Shi Lu said to me before he died: He (Shi) has regrets, his (Shi)s paintings are not complete, and I hope that I can break out of my own style." "Now, Mr. Ma Liang's landscape paintings are second to none in today's painting world and outstanding. But he still explored in the humble studio, pioneering a higher field of art. This should be Mr. Zaidao's return to the masters of the "Chang'an School". However, it is precisely because Mr. Ma Liang has long adhered to the spirit and cultivation of traditional Chinese painting, persevered, did not seek fame and fortune, and transcended the world, for many years, Mr. Zai Dao has no quarrel with the world, according to his iron bones, magnificent and upright giant landscape paintings have been praised by his peers and the media as the "Chang'an School" founded by Shi Lu and other painters of the older generation, and they are deserved mainstays; Decades of dedication to creation, immersed in research and understanding, he will eventually become a generation of masters who have influenced the Chinese painting world in the past and the future, his landscape paintings inherit the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and become their own family in the contemporary era, forming a unique style of Chinese landscape painting style.
