Chou Ying's Life Experience

Chou Ying (1498- 1552) was born in Taicang, Jiangsu, and his ancestral home was Wuxian (now Suzhou). Born in poverty, he dropped out of school in his early years and studied lacquer painting. Through his own efforts, he became a rare painter from ordinary people's homes in the history of China fine arts, and became one of the "Ming thinkers" in the history of painting, together with poems and songs, bookish Shen Zhou, elegant Wen Zhiming and charming Tang Yin.

Later, Zhou Chen appreciated his talent and taught him. His paintings were also influenced by Chen Xian, Zhou Chen's teacher, so he could enjoy a great reputation. Most of Chou Ying's painting skills come from imitating the paintings of Song people, which is often confused.

Landscape is a beginner in Zhou Chen, but it is very neat. Scholars are especially good, frontier painters, with the painting skills of this school, reunited with the celebrities in Wuzhong at that time, especially full of the morale of literati painting.

Chou Ying's Painting Style

Chou Ying is good at painting figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, pavilions and other themes, with elegant and beautiful painting methods, ingenious ideas and elegant pen and ink. Famous works in the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as Atlas of Song People, Xiao Zhao Gaozong Mid-Renaissance Map, are often copied. If the former is compared with the original, it is almost difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The painting method is mainly inherited from the "courtyard style" painting, green landscape painting and character story painting in Zhao Boju and the Southern Song Dynasty. The image is accurate, exquisite and elegant, the color is bright, the connotation is implicit, the color is elegant and beautiful, and it is integrated into the theme and pen and ink interest advocated by literati painting.

Chou Ying is good at figure painting, especially lady painting. He attached great importance to the description and depiction of historical themes, absorbed the brushwork of Ma and Yuan people in the Southern Song Dynasty, and had a strong brushwork. He is especially good at copying, drawing yellow paper with powder and writing. As for being rich and rich, it is exquisite and elegant, worthy of the ancients. He is especially good at expressing different objects with different strokes, either smooth or long and good at painting.

The figures are accurate in modeling, strong in generalization, beautiful in image and smooth in lines. They are different from the long-standing engraving habit and go straight to the Song Dynasty. They had a great influence on the later ladies' paintings in Youqiu, Yu and Qing Dynasty, and became a model of the beauty of ladies' paintings in the times. Later generations commented on his meticulous brushwork, delicate description, high spirits, elegant and smart, and stood out in the Ming Dynasty painting world.

Handed down works include Bamboo Forest Map, Xiaochun Map of Han Palace (with pictures as evidence), service map and so on.

Chou Ying's landscape painters Zhao Boju and Liu Songnian developed the tradition of "institutional painting" of Li Tang, Liu Songnian, Ma Yuan and Xia Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty, and integrated the advantages of the previous generation, that is, maintaining the neatness and exquisiteness of the classical tradition, and integrating the elegant and fresh taste, forming a new paradigm of work but not plate, research but not sweet. There is also a kind of ink painting, which is transformed from Li Tang style and sometimes painted as a castle, which is particularly fine.

I often make a forest map. People, birds and animals, mountains and rivers, Taiwan view, flags and banners, and military looks are all written by ancient sages and sages. After consideration, they can draw the desperate situation of things and win the success of art forests.

Zhang Chou commented on the paintings in the workshop: "Rock master Wang Wei, woodcutter Li Cheng, character master Wu, and colorist Zhao Boju, all of whom have made great achievements".
