What is the function of tiger painting?

My friend is good at drawing tigers. There are pictures of tigers hanging on the wall of his room: some are rolling, some are jumping, some are roaring, some are running, and some are walking alone with their cubs in different shapes. I once asked him for a painting, which was more than two feet high and almost two feet wide.

There are two tigers, a tigress and a male tiger. The male tiger squatted on the stone, looked up into the distance, opened his mouth and roared; The mother tiger is lying next to the male tiger, her feet stretched forward and her expression is very comfortable. There are three or four strange stones next to two tigers, just like cheering for two tigers. I hung this picture on the east wall, and I like it very much.

Tiger painting is an art form. It's still an ancient prose. I wrote about tigers in various forms. Painting tigers is lifelike. It is also one of the classical Chinese texts circulated in ancient and modern times, which describes the realism of tiger paintings and the superb skills of painters.

China has a cultural tradition of worshipping tigers. I call it "tiger culture". Tiger culture has a rich and far-reaching accumulation, permeated with aesthetics, values and many other aspects. The words "tiger and tiger thrive", "dragon and tiger leap" and "tiger sitting on a dragon's plate" not only symbolize vitality and vitality, extraordinary demeanor and tolerance, but also represent a macro climate.

People in China love tigers, and there have always been many famous tiger painters. Ding, Xu Beihong, Zhu, Wu Shougu, He Xiangning, Fang Yi, Mu, Tang Wenxuan, Shuang Hu An, Feng Dazhong, Lv Zhongde, Ji Zefu, Meng Xiangshun, Wang Mochen, Dou Zhongliang, Zhong Jiming, Xie Chengxiang, Cai Yuxian, Long Wenhui, etc. In ancient times, due to the limitation of conditions, you usually couldn't see the real tiger. Even if you see a real tiger, I'm afraid you don't have time to take pictures. In modern times, Zhang Shanzi's freehand brushwork tiger pushed the tiger to a peak. His tiger modeling, lines, pen and ink have considerable skill, full of sense of the times, full of modern painting language. Mr. Hong Bei said, "When you write a horse, you must learn from it. When you draw a chicken, you must learn from it." . In order to deeply observe the life habits of tigers, several generations of famous tiger painters, such as Meng Xiangshun and Wang, have ventured into the hinterland of Daxing 'anling in Northeast China for many times to observe and sketch in the vast and desolate virgin forest where Northeast tigers haunt. Not only that, they even have a tiger, who stays with them 24 hours a day and gets in touch with them at zero distance.
