Wang Jie, Wang Ying, Wang Wei, the three brothers can be good at poetry and painting, and their compilation of "Mustard Garden Painting Notation" is the most systematic painting score in the history of Chinese art, each subject is preceded by a narrative, and each narrative is combined into "Learning to Paint a Brief Theory".
Wang Ying, the first name corpse, the word Mi Cao. He is good at flowers and birds, and is good at poetry and seals. The landscape and water are huang gongwang's penmanship, good at flowers, feathers, part-time calligraphy, seal carving, and brother Wang Que, and people are yuanfang and jifang. In the eleventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1672), Wang Ying and Wang Yu collaborated on a poetry album, Shou Eighty. In the 20th year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1681), he co-authored with Wang Huan and Yun Shouping, Wang Yi, Zi Chongguang, and Yang Jin to write the Shou Tu Shou Garden. "Biography of Guangyin People", "Poetic History of Qing Painters", "Jiang Ningzhi", "Silkworm Tail Text".
Wang Zhen (王臬), first named Evil, is a character straight. Good at poetry and painting. The brothers are all fond of the ancients, next to poetry and painting, and are good at the time. He devoted his life to art, did not enter the career, and made a living selling paintings.
Wang Fan is famous in the history of Chinese painting, mainly at the age of thirty-five, at the request of Shen Yinbo, based on ming Li Liufang's apprentice paintings, compiled a collection of landscapes for the "Mustard Garden Painting Biography", and took the lead in compiling the Chinese painting technique atlas "Mustard Garden Painting Spectrum". The first collection of 5 volumes of landscape and water genealogy, in the eighteenth year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1679) woodblock color overprint, known as The Art Forest; the second collection is 4 scores of orchid, bamboo, plum and chrysanthemum, 8 volumes, painted by Zhu Sheng and Wang Qian, Wang Zhi and brother Wang Yi, the third set is 2 notations of flowers, grasses and insects, flowers, trees, birds and birds, 4 volumes, compiled by the Wang brothers. The second and third episodes are all overprinted in color on woodblocks in the 40th year of the Kangxi Dynasty. The four-episode character painting notation is compiled by Jiaqing Twenty-three Years (1818) Bookstore with drawings from Ding Gao's "Secrets of Photography" and "Evening Laughing Hall Painting Biography".
Shen Yinbo was the son-in-law of Li Yu, a writer, dramatist, theater theorist, and aesthetician in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the person who wrote "Idle Love and Occasional Mail", and the person who wrote "Meat Futon". He is a genius, with a youthful heart all his life, and a life family that understands life and is full of interest in life. If he lived today, Li Yu would undoubtedly be a man infatuated with thousands of young girls. He wrote his own scripts, had his own drama classes, and was a successful publisher. He was a gentleman, deviant and courageous, he "went through the six or seven of the nine states of the country", and he was popular all over the country, and in his later years, "the old karma was thrown into the world, and the whole family moved into the picture".
In his lifetime, Li Yu wrote a wealth of works, including "Idle Love And Occasional Mail", "Ten Kinds of Songs of Kasa Weng" (including "Kite Mistake"), "Silent Drama" (also known as "Lian Chengbi"), "Twelfth Floor", "Kasawong Family Speech", "Kasa Weng Rhymes" and other more than 5 million words, and also approved the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", revised "Golden Bottle Plum", and advocated the compilation of "Mustard Garden Painting Notation", etc., which is a rare artistic genius in the history of Chinese culture. His son-in-law Shen Yinbo helped him run the Mustard Garden Bookstore and planned the "Mustard Garden Painting Spectrum" that has influenced him to this day.
Mustard Garden is the name of Li Yu Jinling Villa. Li Yu regretted that he was not good at painting, saying that "he loved landscapes for the rest of his life, but he could watch people paint but could not paint for himself." His son-in-law Shen Yinbo ran the Mustard Garden Bookstore and published books, so based on the albums painted by the late Ming dynasty painter Li Liufang, he invited the famous landscape painter Wang Fan to add an additional series, three easy cold summers, written in the eighteenth year of Kangxi, with the intention of making "those who love landscape and water in the world have the joy of landscape and water." is for the first episode. After the first collection was published, it was quite popular and paper was expensive for a while. Li Yu called this collection "a collection of poor generations, recent celebrities, and the strengths of all the families." "Its artistic value is self-evident. After Li Yu's death, the mustard garden changed its owner three times, but the mustard garden competed for the same thing, and when he saw the situation, he went out of his son-in-law's collection of flowers, insects, birds, and famous works, and did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to ask Wang Wei and his brothers Wang Wei and Wang Wei, who were also famous artists, to "re-sort out the old xu" and "run the business to write", and the Qiantang painters Wang Qian and Zhu Sheng helped him.
Wang Fan lived in Jiangning (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu), and Wang Fan studied landscape painting with Gong Xian. Gong Xian lived in Qingliangshan, Nanjing, sold paintings as apprentices, and lived a hard life. He was also known as the "Eight Families of Jinling" along with the painters Fan Xi, Gao Cen, Zou Zhe, Wu Hong, Ye Xin, Hu Yu, Xie Sun, etc., who were also active in the Jinling region; Gong Xian, who was half a thousand, and Lü Qian, a famous poet and painter in the early Qing Dynasty, was called "the second half of the world". Gong Xian is a landscape painter who pays attention to both traditional brush and ink and the creation of teachers. Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, with the brush and ink of the Northern School of painting in the early Song Dynasty as the main body, referred to the many brush styles and ink rhymes of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, combined with their own observations and feelings about natural landscapes, formed a simple and beautiful ink accumulation method, which is better than using ink.
Therefore, Wang Que has a lot of experience in using ink, tending to be "black Gong Xian", thick ink method, good work and turquoise. The three brothers Wang Qi , Wang Qi , and Wang Qi are all fond of ancient times , along with poetry and painting , and are good at being famous at the time. He devoted his life to art, traveling back and forth between Nanjing and Yangzhou, selling paintings for a living. The black of the landscape is sparse and thick ink, the dots are extensive, the vigor is deep, and you are good at painting large landscapes and pine stones, "the majestic and fast to take the momentum, the cangjian or overshoot, and the rush and the lack." Characters, flowers, feathers and the like all have a taste outside the taste. Wang Fan believes in painting: "On painting or still complex, or still simple, complex is not also, simple is not also." Or it is easy, or it is difficult, it is difficult, and it is easy or not. Or you have the law, or you can't. There can be no non-also, and finally there is a law more non-also. However, the first moment is strict, and then the super god is completely changed, and the extreme of the Law is impossible. ”
Wang Fan advocated "having a pen and ink" in the use of a pen. He thinks that "the word pen and ink, many people do not know, painting without pen and ink!" But there is a silhouette, and there is no law, that is, there is no pen; there is a law, and there is no light and heavy to the back cloud shadow, that is, no ink. Wang Sishan said: "Make the pen irrevocable as a pen messenger." 'Therefore, the stone is divided into three sides. This phrase is both pen and ink. Those who draw the size of the crab claw with a paintbrush, the writer who dyes the flowers, the writer who paints orchids and bamboo, the rabbits who use writing, the sheep who use the snow goose and willow, those who are accustomed to leaning on the sharp tip, there are bald writers, depending on their sexual habits, each has a similarity, and cannot cling to one. ”
Wang Fan has a picture scroll of "Lying In the Mountains and Mountains", which returns to the earth in spring and revives the weather of all things. The north hills and ravines of Jinling City are depicted as the object of depiction, but the green mountains are undulating, the trees are scattered, and the greenery is beautiful. A mountain trail runs through a refreshing and idyllic picture, the stream is babbling, the song is flowing, and the waterside people's homes and the Xuange Trail are mixed in between. An old man in a long shirt and a hat who was trying to cross the stone bridge turned around in an instant, and another child quickly followed him. The two of them traveled all the way north, with the change of scenery and the change of hearts and things, the idyllic and elegant travel feelings came to the face, so as not to be leisurely and happy.
Near the south bank of the great river, the swallow rocks, known as the "first rock of the Yangtze River", are abrupt and tall, the rocks are rugged, the pavilions on the rocks are towering, and a boat under the cliff is propped up in the water, and there are two other gentlemen on the boat who send love to the landscape and enjoy endlessly. The river flows in the east, the sails sail, the light and distant sky is light and misty, and although the picture is exhausted, the afterglow still exists. The painter reads at the end of the scroll: "The Map of the Lying Tour of the Rivers and Mountains." Gengwu (i.e., Kangxi 29th year, 1690) Zen Yue, learned the Juran painting method in Moran Water Sills, for the elderly Daoweng sect. Embroidered water king tree. And one yin and one yang seal each: "The Seal of Wang Que" and "An Jie". It is worth mentioning that the opening, middle and tail of the scroll, as well as the inscriptions of the late Qing Dynasty scholar Xuanding, the late Qing Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty scholar Yi Shunding, and Jiang Yun, are also inked, and the volume also has "Mountain Flying Spring Standing Grass Hall" and other three parties.
In the creation of the scroll of "Lying In the River and Mountains", Wang Liang mainly adopts the perspective of overlook and the scattered perspective method into the painting, and composes the picture with the "Pingyuan" and "far-reaching" methods, the pen and ink are neat and meticulous, the gathering and scattering are dense and ingenious, and the dots and lines are harmonious and unified; the color is fresh and elegant, the sense of substance is relatively strong, and it is quite close to the natural spring color. The trees and grasses are dyed with flower blue, flower green, ochre, ink pen, deer antlers, crab claws, double hooks, dot dyeing and other techniques; medium and close mountain stones are mostly coated with ink, light and other ink colors, relatively fine, and the distant mountains are lightly smeared with stone blue and light ink wet pens, which better expand the deep and distant picture space. The slope direction and muscle bone texture of the mountain stone, in addition to the southern Tang dynasty painting monk Juran's performance of the phimped, there is also Gong Xian's ink accumulation method shadow, and the other is orderly to refresh the mind. The whole picture is quiet and unworldly, the atmosphere is vivid, the scenes are blended, and the artistic conception is timeless, showing the painter's inner indulgence of the hidden interest of the landscape, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Wang Liang interacted with the celebrities at that time, such as Tang Yansheng, Li Yu, Cheng Yi, Kong Shangren, and Zhou Lianggong. Wang Liang once made two pagoda diagrams for Zhou Lianggong and two diagrams of bathing Buddha, both of which were strange and ancient, and there was no near-human beauty. The Wang Brothers were also good at controlling seals, carving bamboo, and good at poetry, and wrote the "Chengxintang Paper Endowment" called Yu Shi.
Wang's works include Kangxi Twenty-one (1682) as the axis of "Yushan Guan Tu" scroll, forty-four years (1705) as "Caizhi Tu" fan page, now in the Palace Museum; twenty-one years as "Qiu shan Xike Tu" volume in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum; "Qiu Fan Kuang Pan Tu" scroll in Shanghai Museum; thirty-five years (1696) as "Youxi Snow Map" axis tibet China Academy of Art; forty years (1702) as "Mountain Scroll Qingyun Map" axis Tibet Central Academy of Fine Arts; forty-one years (1702) as "Landscape Atlas" in Tianjin Art Museum Thirty-second year (1693) with Wang Ying to compose the "Miscellaneous Paintings" in the Changshu City Museum. He is the author of "A Brief Theory of Painting" and "Collection of Mountain Flying Springs Andi Caotang".
Lu Xiuhui has a poem "Song for Wang Jian'an Festival", ShiYun:
Guests are sad to dance with sand gulls, and their eyes are dizzy with night drums.
Wanli pen swam in amazement, and tears in the dream were like rain.
Mustard garden music and hilly ravines have been composed.
Laughing and busy writing Litu, Grace Tim Xiangluo.
Sleep close to the ghost, where do the butterfly bees return to the mountain?
