What does ancient Chinese painting mean?

The silk color painting Bathing Horse, 28. 1cm long and 155.5cm wide, is now in the Palace Museum. When Zhao Mengfu painted horses, he studied Han Gan first, and then Li. He once wrote in the inscription of "Man Riding a Figure": "I loved drawing horses since I was a child. It is the beginning to look at Han Gan's original three volumes." Zhao Mengfu's horse painting reached its peak by sheer talent and diligence. He wrote in the postscript of "Man Riding a Figure": "It is difficult to draw a picture, and it is even more difficult to know it. I am good at drawing horses, so I try my best. If I draw this picture, I will be worthy of the Tang people. People of insight in the world, Xu Qu has eyes. " It can be seen.

"Bathing Horse Map" depicts a wide stream flowing in the suburbs of midsummer, with a clear and transparent river bottom, sycamore trees hanging in the shade, fourteen horses and nine officials. The pictures are colorful, lively and full of life. Horses have different colors and postures, different clothes and behaviors.

1. Figures and horses were painted in the Tang Dynasty. The characters in the painting and the narrow sleeves of the costumes are all costumes of the Tang Dynasty. The characters are plump but not bloated, and the colors are even, thick and not greasy, which is the characteristic of figure painting in Tang Dynasty.

Ma combines the paintings of Han Gan and Li, and has both. For example, the mane and tail of a horse are drawn in a certain order with approximately parallel curves, which is very decorative, which is an obvious feature of horse painting in Tang Dynasty.

2. Rock and vegetation are integrated into the painting method of Song Dynasty. There are both realistic elements and strong painting style of Song people. Being able to put the pen freely in the big place and meticulous in the small place is a portrayal of being good at taking the law. For example, the brushwork of rocks follows the style of the Northern Song Dynasty, while the rendering has the style of the Tang Dynasty. Rock texture is solid and smooth, outline with light ink lines, and emphasize structure with slightly thick ink colors. There are few styles and flexible usage, including the styles of Dong Ju School and LiGuo School.

The painting method of nearby aquatic plants originated from the flower technique of Song Dynasty, and the double hook method was adopted to make the colors delicate and full. The water plants in the distance are drawn directly from the front of the middle side.

Willow is painted with double hooks. When rendering, the yin and yang are opposite, and the texture is delicate, which is quite interesting in painting style in Song Dynasty.
