A painter, as if the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, his brush animals are open wide eyes ah show contempt and so on, especially untrimmed!

Zhu Da, (zhū dā) early qing dynasty painting "four monks" one. The genealogy name Zhu by the challenge, for the Ming emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's tenth Ning Xian Wang Zhu Quan's ninth grandson. After the King of Ning changed to Nanchang, successive generations of descendants living in Nanchang and other places, *** divided into eight branches, Bada Shanren is the seventh grandson of Yiyang Wang. His grandfather Zhu more than a poet and painter, landscape painting style more Zongfa two meters, quite famous. Father Zhu Mou hajj, specializing in landscape and bird and flower, eight dashanren

famous JiangYu, unfortunately, died of a dark disease in middle age, uncle Zhu Mou is also a painter, authored "painting history will be". Zhu Da grew up in the clan family, from a young age by his father's artistic cultivation, coupled with smart and studious, at the age of eight will be able to make poetry, eleven years old can paint green mountains and green water, as a child can also hang wrist write rice family small regular script. When he was a teenager, he took the township examination and was admitted as a student. [1]

Chongzhen seventeen years (1644), the Ming dynasty fell. Zhu Da was nineteen years old, soon after the death of his father, extremely depressed, grief, he pretended to be deaf and mute, anonymous recluse, living in the mountains to save themselves. Zhu Da's paintings can often be seen on a peculiar sign, as if like a crane-shaped symbol, in fact, is composed of four words "March 19", in order to send nostalgia for the deep feelings of the country (jia shen March 19th is the day of the fall of the Ming dynasty).

Shunzhi five years (1648), his wife died, Zhu Da will be mother with brother "home", to Fengxin County, plow incense temple, shaved hair as a monk, since then renamed snow. At the age of twenty-four, more a mountain and a mountain donkey. Shunzhi ten years (1653), Zhu Da twenty-eight years old, and welcome mother to the new county Hongya temple, in plowing an old man at the precepts called master, live in the mountain lectures, more than a hundred people with the study of the law. Some people testify, Zhu Da from the age of twenty-eight to thirty-six, had taken his mother and

brother lived in nanchang fuzhou door (jinxianmen) outside the jianjin tower neighborhood. At that time, this place is a lot of teahouse restaurant, is the working people live. Zhu Da lives in poverty, hair and face, wandering in this. Often like to drink wine, but not full of liters, often drunk. Drunkenness, big brush waving, a wave of more than ten, mountain monks, poor people, butchers, Gu'er, to its request for paintings, have to answer, generous gift. Zhu Da thirty-six years old, want to "find a head from the field", to find the suburb of nanchang fifteen miles of tianning guan. In this year, he remodeled the tianning guan, and renamed it "qingyun garden". The word "Qingyun" was originally based on the meaning of the Taoist myth, "Lv Chunyang drove the green cloud to descend". It is also useful to say that "flying sword inserted into the ground, planting laurel tree stipulates the old foundation", which is also the origin of the existing Tang Gui in Ohio. Qing Jiaqing twenty years (1815), the scholar Dai Junyuan "nursery" to "spectrum", to show that "Qingyun" spectrum, have ultimatums can be based on, from then on renamed "Qingyun genealogy".

Qingyun Spectrum was originally a long-established Taoist temple. Legend has it that more than two thousand five hundred years ago, Zhou Ling Wang Prince Jin (word Ziqiao) to this base alchemy, the creation of the dojo, "alchemy immortal". During the Western Han Dynasty, Meifu, the lieutenant of Nanchang County, abandoned his post and lived here in seclusion, and later built the Meixian Shrine. In Jin Dynasty, Xu Xun ruled over the water and opened a dojo here, creating the "Jingming Religion", renamed as "Taiji Guan", and formally formed a Taoist system from then on, belonging to the Jingming Taoist School. In the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty (831), Zhou Xun, an assassin, renamed it "Taiyi Guan". In the second year of the Song Dynasty (1055), the name Tianning Guan was given by imperial decree. Qing Shunzhi 18 years (1661), Zhu Da came to visit the relics of sages, very appreciated the

Li mountains and rivers scenery, so in the original Taoist temple on the basis of the reconstruction, and renamed as "Qing Yun Pu". From then on, Zhu Da became the founding master of Qing Yun Pu. The descendants also established "is the opening of the mountain ancestor dao lang number liang yue wen number eight mountain man zhu zhenzhen" merit hall of the tablets.

Zhu Da from the age of thirty-six to thirty-eight years old, round-trip between Nanchang city and Qingyunpu, Qingyunpu reconstruction by his brother Zhu Daoming presided over. Zhu Da formally settled in Qingyunpu, about thirty-nine years old Zhu Da works

After to sixty-two years old. He worked painstakingly to run this Taoist temple for more than twenty years. After thirteen years as a Buddhist, Zhu Da became the founder of a Taoist monastery. His life as a monk and Taoist was not primarily a religious one, but a way to escape the political persecution of the Ming clans by the Manchurian aristocracy of the Qing dynasty, and to conceal and preserve himself.

When he was fifty-three years old in the seventeenth year of the Kangxi period, Hu Yitang, the magistrate of Linchuan County, heard of him and invited him to be a guest at the official residence of Linchuan for more than a year along with Rao Yupu, the head of his monk. He was so distressed and angry that he feigned insanity, tore his monk's clothes, and walked back to Nanchang alone. More than a year later, he returned to Qingyunpu, and here to spend the "flower age birthday". When he was sixty-two years old, he was no longer abbot, and left the monastery in the hands of his disciple Tu Ruoyu.

Zhu Da was sixty years old when he began to use "Bada Shanren" signature poetry and painting, he signed the paragraph, often "Bada Shanren" four words together, as if like "crying", "Laughing" as if he was "crying" and "laughing", in order to express his painful feelings of crying and laughing. His younger brother Zhu Daoming, the word autumn moon, is also a painter, the style is similar to his brother, but also rough and bold. His calligraphy and painting signed Niu Shi Hui, the three words written in cursive, very much like the "life not to worship the king" four words, expressed the mood of the Manchu dynasty vowed not to yield. The two brothers signed their names at the beginning of the Zhu character split, one with the word "cow", one with the word "eight". This anonymity, can be said to be well-intentioned.

Zhu Da in his later years often live in nanchang city beizhu temple, pu xian temple and other places. Monk friend tanyue for beizhu temple abbot, and Zhu Da friendship is very deep. Tanyue is also good at calligraphy, stubborn character, later because of the new county magistrate Fang'e, said he "crazy big without shape", was arrested in prison, died in prison. After the death of tanyue, north zhu temple was destroyed soon. During this time, Zhu Da went out to travel, visit friends for painting, painting a lot, this is Zhu Da creation peak period. Finally in Nanchang suburb Chao Wang Zhou, built a straw house, titled "awake song grass". At that time, the poet leaf boat had made "eight mountain man" a poem, describing his life here, "a room awake song place, xiao xiao full of dust, artemisia bushes dark, poetry and painting into the zen true, the world escaped from the fame of the will, residual mountain left water body, the old green door industry in, zero fall seed melon people."

Zhu Da is in this hut spent his lonely, poor later years, until his death. One said Zhu Da buried in nanchang suburb of kiln bay of Yingjia mountain, but after liberation when moving the tomb, only see some rotten wood and iron nails, did not see the skeleton, may be his crown mound. Niu Shi Hui tomb in Qing Yun Spectrum South General Ridge, the tomb has a jar of ashes, also moved after liberation in Qing Yun Spectrum Tuju Mountain. According to "new county" "west mountain": Zhu Da's tomb in the county northwest thirty miles that is now west mountain Juanxi commune monkey ridge area. Where the tomb, has been difficult to find out.

Signature font size

Zhu Da's word, number, alias especially, his original name Zhu by the challenge, also known as Zhu Da, the number of eight mountain man, snow a, a mountain, a mountain donkey, the people house, good month, dao lang, and so on. After doing Taoist priests, living in "Qingyunpu". Into the Qing Dynasty after hiding its name, take the name of the monk when the monk took the banner, the word edge of the an, used to the Kangxi geng a (1680) 55 years old. The number of snow began at the age of 41, used to 55 years old. The number of a mountain began at the age of 46, until the age of 59, he also has a donkey, donkey house, people house and other numbers, donkeys, the earliest seen at the age of 56, the latest is 58 years old. People house, donkey house used at the same time, 60 years old before the use of the word, the number still have law hori, button, pure han, qingxin snow diamond, lying house, hong chose and so on. Zhu Da for the monk name, "Da" is "donkey" word of the common writing, as for the Bada Shanren number, is he abandoned the monk to take after the secular, from the age of 59, until his death at the age of 80, before the word are abandoned and do not use. When he signed his name on the paintings, he often wrote "Bada" and "Shanren" vertically. The first two words and like the word "cry", and like the word "laugh", while the last two words are similar to the word "of", cry of laughter that is the meaning of crying and laughing. He was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and refused to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty. He had a poem "Boredom, Laughter, and Crying" to express the feeling of not being able to laugh or cry as his country fell.

Editing this section of the artistic characteristics of Zhu Da to painting as the center, for calligraphy, poetry, seal carving also have high attainments. In painting, he is known for his large ink and water brush strokes, and is good at splashing ink, especially in flower and bird paintings, which are famous in the world. In his creative work, he took the natural method, simple ink and brushwork, magnificent atmosphere, unique and innovative, creating a high and open and vertical style. Over the past three hundred years, all the schools of large brush strokes have been influenced by him to a greater or lesser extent. Zhang Geng of the Qing Dynasty commented that his paintings had reached the realm of "clumsy rules in the square and circle, and contemptuous refinement in coloring". His painting advocate "province", Zhu Da works

Sometimes full of large paper only painted a bird or a stone, a few strokes, the spirit of all. His calligraphy has a strong and healthy and smooth style. His seal carving is simple and ancient in form, forming a unique pattern.

Zhu Da in the process of developing his own style, inherited the fine tradition of the previous generation, but also to create their own way. His bird and flower painting, far from the five generations of Xu Xi's wild style of painting and Song literati painters of orchids and bamboo ink plums, but also by the Ming Lin Liang, Lv Ji, Luji techniques, especially to the green vine Bai Yang bold painting style. His landscape paintings, far from Zong Bing of the Southern Dynasty, also studied the landscape of Jiangnan by Dong, Ju, Mi Fu, Ni, Huang and even Dong Qichang.

In calligraphy, he studied the stone drum script, and deliberately copied all the posters of the Han, Wei, Jin, and Tang dynasties, especially Wang Xizhi's. He first learned calligraphy from Dong Qichang, and then from Dong Qichang, and then from Dong Qichang. Calligraphy at the beginning of learning Dong Qichang, and then learn Huangshan Valley, but in his later years to change the law, delete redundancy, get rid of gorgeous, never rely on the ancients. He used the painting method to distort the calligraphy, and then used the medium-front seal brush to make the turn and move, without using the method of lifting and pressing for cursive, and then the method of chapter and character formation, such as withered vines around the rock, old trees with flowers, a faction of the high Mu Huazhan breath, above the mundane. Bada Shanren's calligraphy and painting, both have a cold and unattainable style of the high priests, pouring out his lonely subjects and sons of the pain of the deceased country. Early masterpieces include the running script Ode to Liu Ling's Wine and Virtue Scroll, and masterpieces in the mature period of his style include Recording Cheng Yi's Four Proverbs Scroll, Yellow Bamboo Garden Inscription and Painting Poem Scroll, and so on.

The characteristics of Zhu Da's painting art are generally characterized by the shape of writing feelings, deformation of God; ink simple and light, the brush is unrestrained; layout sparse, open mood; energetic, majestic. His forms and techniques are the best expression of his true feelings. His brushwork is unrestrained, not constituting a law, pale and strong, rounded and elegant, and his chapters are complete without seeking to be complete. His one flower and one bird is not calculating how much, size, but focus on the position and momentum of the arrangement. And whether to use the right time, with a surprise, with skillful. This is his three win method, such as in the painting layout found deficiencies, sometimes with the paragraph book cloud to supplement its meaning. Zhu Da can poetry, calligraphy is exquisite, so his painting even if the painting is not much, with his title poem, the mood is sufficient, his painting, make people feel small but not less, this is the art of ingenuity.

His landscape paintings are mostly in ink, the law of dong qichang, and take huang gongwang, ni zan, he used dong qichang's brushwork to paint landscapes, but there is no showy and calm, clean and elegant style, but rather, withered and cold, full of bleakness, and in the realm of the deserted and silent through the air of the majestic simplicity, reflecting his lonely and angry state of mind and fortitude of the individuality. His ink is different from dong qichang, dong qichang light hair and get moist and clear,

Bada shanren painting and calligraphy (19) zhu da dry rubbing and can be moist and clear. So in painting the same is "unrestrained", Zhu Da and others put different, the same is "moist", Zhu Da and others moist different. A painter, in the performance of art, can be both different from the predecessor, but also in the people less than. His flower and bird painting achievement is especially outstanding, also has the most personality. Most of his paintings express his feelings for objects, use symbols to express his meanings, and personalize the objects to support his own feelings. In the early Qing Dynasty, in the confrontation between innovation and conservatism, Zhu Da was one of the "four great painting monks" who played a prominent role in the innovation school. As contemporary scholars, poets, painters and calligraphers Nanshan Leshan commented: eight big mountain landscape, seemingly strange, absurd rate, rough, more similar to bullying, beginner's work, but fine taste, it seems to see Huang Gongwang's luxuriant; Dong Xiangguang's clean; Ni Yunlin's simple and far away. More of its right out of the three, it is bizarre and strange, straight into the realm of Arahant. [2]

Editing this section of the achievements of the influence of the Eight Greats have a poem on the title of the painting, said: "Ink points are not more tears, the mountains and rivers are still the old mountains and rivers. The world is in turmoil, leaving the forest to be scrutinized and copied." This first sentence "ink point without more tears point more", Fu Zi since the road, the most concise and succinctly said his painting art features and the thought and emotion, only along the clues he hinted at this, we can truly understand and appreciate the painter's great works of art.

Weird and obscure implies pain

Bada because of his special life, and the background of the times, so that his paintings can not be like other painters as straight to the heart, but through his obscure and difficult to understand the title of the painting poetry and the weird and strange deformation of the painting to show. For example, his fish and birds, with a few strokes, are either elongated or tightly clustered, and are not what they seem. Especially the pair of eyes, sometimes in an oval shape, are not the eyes of the fish and birds we see in life, which are round and do not rotate in the center. In life, the eyes of fish and birds are round, and the eyeballs in the center do not rotate. The eyes of Bada's fish and birds can rotate, and sometimes they even roll their eyes to stare at people. His painting of the mountains and rocks is not like the usual artist painting that way, round and round, big on the bottom of the small, heavy head and feet, where he wants to rest on where, and do not care if it is stable, stand or not stand. The tree he painted, the old dry branches, just a few branches of coconut, a few leaves, in the forest tens of thousands of trees can not pick such a tree. He drew the landscape, mountains, bare trees, east and west, desolate, if there really is such a place, I think no one will not come here to settle down.

And the poems, signatures and seals on his paintings are also strange. For example, he called himself "Bada Shanren", the interpretation of many people, scholars still have different arguments. He has a seal, the seal text carved as , some say it is composed of "eight mountain man" four characters, some people are cautious, called "clog-shaped seal", because it is shaped like a clog. As for the inscriptions on his paintings, many of the lines are even more difficult to understand.

However, Bada told us clearly: "The coconut tree in the chaotic world is left to be scrutinized by Wenlin". He also says: "I want to see people understand the pictures". He hoped very much that people would understand the meaning of his paintings. Therefore, many scholars, after careful study, have found out many true messages from the meaning of his paintings and the words he wrote. For example, he had a writing of a pledge, and for a long time people had been calling it a tortoise-shaped pledge, because its shape was especially like a tortoise. Only later did I see that the original is composed of "March 19th" a few words distorted, which happens to be the last emperor of the Ming dynasty Chongzhen committed suicide on the day, marking the end of the Ming dynasty. Then this pledge, also expressed on the death of the country's memory.

Kangxi twenty-one he once painted a "ancient plum", the trunk of the tree has been hollow, gnarled roots exposed, a few branches of the bare branches of coconuts, a few dotted with a few flowers, as if the weather and lightning after the robbery of the appearance of the afterlife. It is inscribed with three poems, the first one reads: "The plum blossom Wu Taoist, the ghost Zhai Zhai do not kiss each other. North and south of the South Mountain, old enough to burn fish and sweep away the dust of the captives." "Plum blossom Wu Taoist" refers to the Yuan dynasty painter Wu Zhen, Zhu Da works

Self-titled "Plum blossom Taoist". The words in the box were obviously plucked out by the collector at the time or later to avoid the scourge of the literal prison. It is not difficult to guess, this word is not "Hu", that is, "captive". The Qing dynasty, the beginning of the Manchu to enter the central plains, the most taboo is also these two words. To sweep away "hu dust" in "south mountain of north and south mountain north", Zhu Da very clearly expressed his anti-Qing idea of restoration. The second poem wrote: "get this also when the end is not, had no ground thin and sky fat. Plum blossom painting SiShiXiao, monk how such as Caiwei." The poem uses two allusions, one is the early Yuan relic painter Zheng Sishao, after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, living in seclusion under the Wu, painting orchids dew roots not painted slope soil, people asked why, he replied: "The land has been taken, do you not know?" Secondly, after the destruction of Yin by Zhou, the survivors of Yin, Bo Yi and Shu Qi, were ashamed of not eating Zhou's corn, and lived in Shouyang Mountain to pick meadowsweet and eat until they died of starvation. The original eight this "ancient plum map" gnarled roots exposed, also does not paint slope soil, is modeled after Zheng Sishao painting orchids, implying that the country was seized by the Qing people, he this Ming dynasty clan descendants, the reason why he became a monk, just as Bo Yi, shuqi picking meadowsweet shuyang mountain, refused to submit to the new dynasty. The country is broken, no hope of restoring the country, which makes him can not help but "bitter tears cross a thousand points".

The eight painting poems, is the key to unlock his painting, but difficult to understand, such as fog, many scholars have made some effort to break the interpretation. For example, in the twenty-third year of the Kangxi period, "A Zi Bird and Flower Album" (now hidden in the United States Princeton University Museum), in which the seventh page of the painting of a pugilist standing on a dead branch, the title poem said: "Belt kingfisher called brother, said round brother for a change. Bugsy speaks of the three Guo, and the partridge flies south for less." The meaning of this poem, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Professor Jao Zongyi after quoting the classic interpretation of the conclusion that: "this poem is ridiculed 'Guo' (specified) after the death of loyal officials such as the partridge of the Zhiqie Huai Nan, but not often seen." That is to say, Bada's works, in addition to the general expression of the emotions of the country's destruction, sometimes also have a specific reference. Melon moon figure" is also a piece of work with a reference, after the title poem, he recorded that: "ji si run August 15 night painting obtained". In the face of the full moon in the sky, and on earth families eat moon cakes, his heart was touched, then he "gained" what? The poem inscribed on the painting says: "One side of the moon cake, when the moon is full and the watermelon is on it. Each of them refers to the moon cake, and the donkey year is ripe for the melon." According to the folk story that the custom of eating mooncakes originated from the anti-Qing army's secret signal for the uprising, some people say that the eight greats were looking forward to the arrival of this day. Yet what year (the year of the donkey) do we have to wait for? The phrase "donkey's year and horse's month" is a proverbial expression that indicates an indefinite period of time. If this is the case, then Bada's heartfelt wish is not just about the aftermath of the country's demise.

The Peak of Ink Painting

Bada's long history of ink painting, a style of painting that emerged since the Song and Yuan dynasties, has developed into the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many literati masters of ink and wash painting, and Bada was an epoch-making figure. In the ink painting, there are specializing in landscape and specializing in birds and flowers, Bada is good at both. His landscape painting, close to the teacher Dong Qichang, far from the method of Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, Guo Xi, Mi Fu, Huang Gongwang, Ni Zan and other schools. For example, in the forty-first year of the Kangxi period, the book of calligraphy and painting (Shanghai Museum collection) *** painted six landscape sketches, can be seen by the influence of Dong Qichang, the far strokes of the roundness of the traces of Dong, Ju and Huang Gongwang, the ink with reference to the Mi Yunshan, and some of the combination of the form of trees and rocks, obviously taken from Ni Zan. However, when we appreciate these works, we strongly feel Zhu Da's individuality, and those ancient laws mentioned above are just something he casually used for himself. Those mountains, stones, trees, grass, and pavilions, houses, etc., the brush is sketchy, seemingly careless, picking up with their hands, and wet and dry, dense and thin, dense and thin, near and far, and high and low, pen and no law outside, the meaning of the law in the whole. This can not and law of the realm, is a high degree of combination of emotion and skill, so that artistic creation into a free kingdom.

Beyond the landscape painting, eight large bird and flower painting, more typical of his style personality. Shunzhi sixteen years made by the "embroidered sketchbook" (Taipei Palace Museum collection), and the Kangxi five years made by the "ink flower volume" (Beijing Palace Museum collection), is the eight early works, from which you can see his ink writing flower and bird paintings, y affected by shen zhou, chen chun, xu we, the pen is more square and hard, the subject matter, the layout has not been detached from the predecessor of the pattern, but the painting shown in the wood of the proud air, as well as the unconventional But the painting shows a proud spirit, and bold cutting, such as not seeking the integrity of the object, but has foreshadowed the development of his future.

The most prominent feature of Bada's bird and flower paintings is "less", in his words, "cheap". Less, one is to depict fewer objects; two is to shape the object with fewer strokes. Such as the thirty-first year of the Kangxi made "flowers and fruits, birds and insects book", its "involved" a picture, only paint a flower petal, total **** but seven, eight strokes into a painting. In the eight there, each a fish, a bird, a chick, a tree, a flower, a fruit, and even a painting, only a seal, can constitute a complete picture, can be said to be no less than the degree. The former cloud "ink like gold", and said "to less than a lot more than a lot", only eight really made it to this point, can be said to have no predecessors, it is difficult to follow.

Less, maybe someone can do, but less and not thin, less and not poor, less and not monotonous, less and flavorful, less and interesting, through less and give the reader an infinite space for thought, it is difficult for someone to do, eight has the requirements of the above, there is a big article here. First of all, he is in the use of pen and ink on the effort. His pen from the square hard to become rounded, saturated ink and pen methods combined, a pen gives a sense of thick rich. He was the first painter to take full initiative to utilize the characteristics of raw rice paper to enhance his artistic expression. Raw Xuan paper has a strong ability to absorb water, easy to make the ink diffusion (blotting), which is originally a disadvantage, but Bada turned it into an advantage, not only for the ink and ink painting opened up a broad prospect, but also created a new concept of ink and ink painting, its work is immortal.

Secondly, it is the modeling of image. Bada's bird and flower modeling, not a simple deformation, Zhu Da works

But the shape and interest, and skill, and meaning of the close combination, so we appreciate, will not feel thin and lonely. Again is his layout, especially pay attention to few objects in two-dimensional space placement. The trick is to make full use of the blank, that is, the former so-called "white as black". At the same time, and fully mobilize the inscription, signature, seal in the layout of the role of balance, symmetry, sparse and dense, virtual and real. He is not like the average painter, the first good painting, and then in the appropriate position inscription and seal, but the overall planning concept, so that each point in the layout play a pivotal role, not more, not less, not extravagant, not economize. For example, the thirty-third year of the Kangxi made "birds and flowers landscape album" (Shanghai Museum collection), the first only painted a chick. The chick is placed in the lower right of the picture, a position of gravity that divides the picture into four major spaces, each of which is different in size, balanced and varied. As the chick's head is oriented to the left, the poem is inscribed in the second largest space on the right, which makes the empty background suddenly active and visually plays a role in breaking the balance and enriching the content. Chick's portrayal is vivid, dynamic like a child just learning to walk, waddling very cute. Staring at the big eyes alert to the front, especially after the eyes plus three, like waves, as if there is a sound coming from the front, so that the chick is scared and timid. This little chick we can understand it just out of the eggshell, expressed the world's surprise and vigilance; can also be understood as a lost group, can not find mom, feel lonely and afraid, how to understand, let people gallop the wings of the imagination, so sometimes less paintings, but rather the capacity of the idea is greater.

Less, not an end but a means to an end, otherwise the less the better, art will go into another evil path. Less is relative, for example, the forty-second year of Kangxi made "willow bathing birds" (Beijing Palace Museum collection), relative to the above works is "more", but compared to general artists dealing with similar subjects to the works, but much, much less. For example, his treatment of the willow branches, with about twelve brushstrokes, occupies the entire upper space of the picture, showing not only the quality of the willow's old trunk and new branches, but also the potential of the branches to face the wind. In the midst of the spring breeze, Bugsy is brushing his feathers and is about to fly. This small scene of life shows infinite business. Flowers on the River (Tianjin Museum of Art collection), made in the sixteenth year of the Kangxi period, is the only long masterpiece seen in the works of Bada's life, and it is also the one with the most ink and the most complicated layout, but he still embodies the principle of less. For example, the opening volume of a clump of lotus, the total **** no more than thirty strokes, pen less and meaning complex, an opening volume will be fascinating.

Bada, the former inherited the ancients, after the start of the future. Whitehead old man once said in a poem: "Qingteng (Xu Wei) snow a (Bada Shanren) far from the mortal tire, Fou old (Wu Changshuo) when there are talented. I was originally nine springs for the dog, under the door of the three families to turn the wheel." Its dumping so. Today, with the cultural exchanges between the East and the West, more and more people appreciate and understand his art.
