Song Huizong's "Furong Jinji Diagram"
Although Emperor Huizong of Song was politically incompetent, he made the imperial court smoke miasma, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, and the Five Kingdoms City sat in a well and watched the sky. The "History of Song" commented that "everything can be done, but alone cannot be a king", and under the strong opposition of the chancellor Zhang Huan, he was still made emperor by Empress Xiang. But in terms of art, this brother was an all-rounder at that time, and the famous lyricist Li Qingzhao was also considered a "netizen" to be the most artistic and talented emperor in ancient China, he was widely involved in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, and his achievements in calligraphy and painting were unparalleled.
Emperor Huizong was gifted and intelligent, and from an early age he had a special love for calligraphy and painting, and had a special love for Danqing, horseback riding, archery, keju, strange flowers and stones, and birds and animals. By the age of sixteen or seventeen, he had become a highly recognized artist. Before ascending the throne, Emperor Huizong often interacted with Wang Yi (王诜), Emperor Zhao Da Nian (赵令穰), Huang Tingjian and Wu Yuanyu. These people were all accomplished calligraphy and painting masters at that time, which had an important impact. History said that Huizong was "able to write and paint well, and his name was heavy on the dynasty", and it is not difficult to imagine the high evaluation.
After Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, he handed over the important affairs of the imperial court to Cai Jing's six thieves, and his main energy was to collect the famous books and paintings of the past in many ways, copy them without quitting, and his skills were greatly improved, becoming a well-deserved giant in the altar of faces. His paintings focus on sketching, known for their delicacy and realism, and their observations of life are meticulous and subtle, especially in flowers and birds. The Song Dynasty scholar Deng Chun praised his paintings in "Painting Succession" as "crowning the beauty of ancient and modern times", giving him a high evaluation and being more objective.
There are more paintings of Huizong in existence, and his representative works are two: one is the "Furong Jinji Diagram", a silk book, depicting the dynamics of flower branches and birds, Furong pressed the jinji very low, but the jinji was watching the flying butterflies, and the three scenes were connected together, constituting an overall effect of great interest. The Palace Museum has produced 10 simulated masterpieces, each priced at more than RMB 500,000; The second is "Sketching Rare Birds", which is a fine work without any controversy in the works of Known Huizong, and is a work of the mature period of Huizong's creation. The art, artifacts and collection value of the work itself is very high, and the painting was auctioned off in 2002 for more than 25 million yuan.
Song Huizong's skinny gold body
Huizong was not only good at painting, but also had a high degree of calligraphy. On the basis of learning Xue Ji, Xue Yao, and Sui Liang, his calligraphy is inclusive and self-respecting, called thin gold body." Its pen gestures are thin and stiff, and the font is slender and well-proportioned. He is especially proficient in calligraphy and cursive writing, and the wild leather is also unique, interesting and natural, like a storm, like a terrifying wave, better than the calligraphy. The "thin gold body" and Li Yu's "golden wrong knife" shine together, which can be called the dazzling double bi in the history of Chinese calligraphy. There are many thin gold calligraphy works handed down by Emperor Huizong to this day, representative works include: cursive "Thousand Character Text", as a cadre of government and Zhao Tuo was 41 years old in the second year. Its gestures are unrestrained and smooth, with ups and downs, and are spectacular, no less than the Tang Dynasty cursive calligraphy Saint Zhang Xu and Huai Su, which is a treasure that is not a team. The "Seven Words of the Fan Poem" is written with 14 words of "the water-skimming swallow is cold and the mud flower pieces are wet and heavy", and its penmanship is graceful and beautiful, coherent as a dragon
It has had an important impact. History said that Huizong was "able to write and paint well, and his name was heavy on the dynasty", and it is not difficult to imagine the high evaluation.
After Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, he collected many famous books and paintings from all over the generations, copied them without quitting, and made great progress in his skills, becoming a well-deserved master of the altar. His paintings focus on sketching, known for their delicacy and realism, and their observations of life are meticulous and subtle, especially in flowers and birds. The Song Dynasty scholar Deng Chun praised his paintings in "Painting Succession" as "crowning the beauty of ancient and modern times", which is still objective and fair.
Song Huizong's thin gold calligraphy works
The development of Emperor Huizong's art. Among them, it is commendable for the importance attached to the Hanlin Calligraphy and Painting Academy. Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the status of those who served in the written court was quite low compared with other departments, and even the clothing was different from that of the same officials in other departments. Weizong not only established and improved the rules and regulations of the academy, but also correspondingly improved the political status of the academy. In the third year of Chongning (1104), Emperor Weizong ordered the establishment of a painting school dedicated to cultivating painting talents, which was later merged with the Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. The painting major divides into Subjects such as Buddhism, Figures, Landscapes, Birds, Animals, Flowers, Bamboo, and House Wood, and teaches courses such as "Explanation of Characters in Speaking Texts", "Erya", "Dialects", and "Interpretation of Names". The academy also has strict examinations, each time by Emperor Huizong with ancient poems personally propositions, such as "bamboo lock bridge by the side of the seller", "stepping on the flowers to return to the horse kneeling incense", "tender green branches a little red", etc., exquisite and chic, quite charming and imaginative space.
Painting by Emperor Huizong of Song
Emperor Huizong also often visited the painting academy to guide him. According to the "Painting Succession", during the Xuanhe period, Weizong built the Longde Palace, and the masters in the special painting academy painted the walls and screens of the Longde Palace on the ground. After the painting was finished, Emperor Huizong went to check it out, but only a painting of "oblique branches and moon flowers" caught his attention. He asked whose work it was, and his entourage told him that it had been done by a teenager who had just entered the academy. Emperor Huizong was very happy to hear this, and not only rewarded the young man with red clothes, but also praised him one after another, and the others were inexplicable, so they asked Emperor Huizong for advice. Huizong pointed out that few people can paint the moon season well, because with the change of the four seasons and the morning and evening, the flowers and leaves are completely different. In this painting, the flower buds and leaves that bloom at noon in the spring are not bad at all, so they are generously rewarded. The painter on the side listened to Huizong's analysis and dissection of this painting and the judgment of great appreciation, and was impressed that once, the lychee tree in front of the palace Xuanhe Hall bore fruit, Huizong came to see just a peacock flying under the tree, Huizong Longyan was pleased, and immediately summoned the painter to depict the painters from different angles, wonderful, several of which are the development of dead 142 art.

There was a painting of a peacock climbing up a vine pier, and After Hui Zongguan said, "The painting is not right." Everyone looked at each other, I don't know why. A few days later, Emperor Huizong summoned the painters again to inquire, but they still did not know why, and Emperor Huizong said, "The peacock raises his left leg first!" At this time, the painters suddenly woke up, which also reflected the delicacy of Huizong's observation of life from one side. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Emperor Huizong, the academy and painting school have made great achievements, while cultivating a large number of outstanding painters such as Zhang Xiyan, Meng Yingzhi, Zhao Xuan and so on;
On the one hand, it created a new realm of Northern Song Painting and became a milestone in the history of Chinese painting. The academic community has the reputation of "Northern Song Dynasty painting, which is actually the most perfect painting in China".
During the reign of Emperor Huizong, he not only treated the painting academy with courtesy, but also extensively collected ancient golden stone books to cherish the collection. In the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Jin people attacked Beijing, they abducted Emperor Huizong's concubines and concubines, but he did not taste any color, and when he asked for the calligraphy and paintings in his collection, he was "very surprised to hear it". It can be seen that the things outside the body that Emperor Huizong valued most were only calligraphy and painting. During the Xuanhe period, Emperor Huizong compiled the inkblots of the calligraphy and paintings of the past dynasties collected by the imperial palace into books such as "Xuanhe Book Spectrum", "Xuanhe Painting Spectrum", "Xuanhe Bogutu", and engraved the famous "Daguan". These are of immeasurable significance to enriching the theory of painting and preserving traditional Chinese culture.
Emperor Huizong of Song was a talented man who often went in and out of brothels in green clothes and hats
Among the Chinese emperors, there are many people who like to collect calligraphy and paintings and participate in the creation of their creators, but no one has integrated his personal pursuit of art into the cultural life of the whole society so extensively and deeply like Zhao Yao. The first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong Zhao, did not have much praise for governing the country, but perhaps under the influence of his father, Zhao Zhuo loved calligraphy from an early age and eventually became an outstanding calligrapher of the Song Dynasty. Fathers and sons like Zhao Ji and Zhao Zhuo are emperors and great calligraphers, and in the history of China and even the world, I am afraid that they are also like morning stars. Therefore, although Weizong's rule of the country is not essential, or even useless, from the perspective of cultural history, he enjoys an indisputable lofty position in the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting.
However, such an artistic genius who is not good at managing the government is favored by him on the throne, and he is known as the "Son of the Qinglou Heavenly Son". Unfortunately, he was captured in the City of Five Kingdoms, and on the way north, he wrote a book similar to blood
Cut the ice silk, lightly fold a few weights, and light swallow fat evenly. New makeup, beautiful fragrance, almost kill ruizhu palace girl. Easy to wither, more much, merciless wind and rain. Sad, ask the courtyard desolate, how many spring twilight? By sending away hatred, how can the double swallow be, and can people speak? The sky is far away, thousands of rivers and mountains, do you know where the Forbidden City is? Why not think about it? Except in dreams sometimes I have gone. There is no evidence, and dreams are also new to not doing.
What a similar experience to the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Hou Lord.
