Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty is a mature period of traditional Chinese literati painting, and the traditional humanistic painting represented by Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains has a great influence on the mainstream of landscape painting in the Ming and Qing Dynasties;

On the other hand, Huang Gongwang in the Yuan Dynasty had a great achievement in his own right, and Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is his

classical masterpiece, and at the same time, his works in the history of the surviving works are not many,

Artistic value

Firstly, there are two major peaks in the history of Chinese painting, one is the Song Dynasty, and the other is the

Yuan Dynasty.

Some artists have compared this painting to Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface, so

this work, whether it is its own artistic value or historical rarity, is

great; in addition, this work has attracted the attention of many people, but also because it

depicts the scene, which gives people a sense of living and traveling.

Secondly, in terms of historical value,

Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains

is an excellent historical material to fill in the gaps of ancient history

.

The Yuan Dynasty emphasized the military and the literati were not valued,

recluse in the south,

Huang Gongwang was one of them, he often met with Ni Yunlin, Wang Shuming, Wu Zhonggui,

Cao Zhibai and other great literati, collaborating on landscape paintings, so the Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains

creation is actually the Yuan Dynasty society of the scholars of the cultural community, the hobby of art zeitgeist, Famous

Shi

Jin

Shen personal style and other historical background of the comprehensive reflection.

Finally, in the artistic value, through the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" can be seen in the Yuan

Mongolian culture on the culture of the Central Plains, especially the southern culture has little impact, the southern scholars

such as Huang Gongwang is still inherited from the Song dynasty tradition of the original culture, poetry, literature, painting and calligraphy

Still is their hobby.

Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains euphemistically expresses the Yuan literati

painter's self-satisfaction with seclusion, the mood of peace, which is the Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains art

art value.

"Martyrdom as a funeral" Fortunately his nephew Wu Ziwen from the fire to rescue

out, but the front has burned away some. But some of the front had already been burned away. The Wu family cut off the first section of the burnt part, from then on, this

The scroll is divided into two short and long sections.

Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is an ink painting on paper, measuring

33

centimeters wide by

636.9

centimeters long. It is the masterpiece of Huang Gongwang, the patriarch of Yuan painting and the first of the Four Yuan Schools, and one of the most important ancient ink and landscape paintings in China. It is also the pinnacle of ancient Chinese ink landscape painting,

and the artistic achievement in traditional Chinese landscape painting can be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled throughout the generations. Huang Gongwang, word

Zhijiu, No. Yifeng, work calligraphy, through the music, good poetry, young ambition, youthful, middle-aged implicated

in prison, full of trials and tribulations, more than 50 years old, living in seclusion on the banks of the Fuchun River, under the tutelage of the Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, study landscape painting,

famous, has been more than eighty years old man.

Huang Gongwang lived along the Fuchun River for a long time in his later years,

he often carried a traveling bag,

built-in brush and ink painting tools,

but when he saw a good scene, he would

painted it down one by one, and accumulated a large number of rich landscape materials. In the seventh year of the Yuan's reign (1348

), Huang Gongwang began to create this masterpiece of landscape painting, and through a long period of exquisite conceptualization and several years of painting,

he finally completed this scroll, which can be called the highest state of landscape painting - "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". -Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains

. The painting is more than six meters long and took Huang Gongwang three or four years to complete.

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" depicts, in the form of a long scroll, the beautiful scenery of the early

autumn on both sides of the Fuchun River, with its undulating peaks, sparse forests and trees, shallow horizontal beaches, and sloping rocky sandbars. The mountains and rocks are rolling back and forth, clumps of

forests are scattered along the river at the bottom of the mountains, and villages are hidden in the valleys between the forests. Pavilions, fishing boats, grass, trees and rocks. Small bridges and flying springs, the scenery

with people moving,

dazzling.

Layout sparse and dense,

variable,

with clear ink and brush,

simple and far-reaching mood,

the vast and continuous Jiangnan landscape performance,

to achieve

"mountains and rivers are thick,

grass and trees Huazi! "

The realm of

good a magnificent autumn scenery of Jiangnan.

Huang Gongwang used a kind of strong and dry ink and brush skills,

Showy and simple and far-reaching brush style will be the scenery of the Fuchun River written

sound and full-bodied.

His use of ink is rich in variations without being cluttered,

and his brushwork changes with the scenery.

Painting mountains with dry brush rubbing out

Large Pima chapped, painting trees and rocks with thick ink dots. The brushwork is elegant and graceful, and the ink color is transparent and heavy. Painting rocks with light ink,

dotting horizontal moss with thick ink,

high mountains using vertical pima chapped,

Pingchuan dotted horizontal dots,

lines,

dots and lines,

dense and light staggered,

the formation of a unique sense of rhythm of the pen and ink.

Under the contrast of the thick ink and moist woods,

the mountains appear as clear and sparse as white jade

and

gives full play to the meaning of Chinese brush and ink,

embodying the aesthetic value of line and brush and ink,

hailed as a model of landscape painting.

Huang Huang is the first artist in the world to be honored with the title of "The Best of the Best" in the history of the Chinese art world.

Huang Gongwang paid great attention to the sense of hierarchy in making this painting,

the relationship between the mountains in front and the mountains behind,

altering the traditional screen-like

arrangement,

instead, it disappeared naturally from near to far.

He does not exaggerate the contrast between the imaginary and real worlds,

but renders them with subtle transitional layers between the imaginary and the real

.

The trees in the painting, although not meticulously portrayed,

the texture and spatial contrasts of different trees are fully expressed,

even the figures in the pavilion, which are used as embellishments, are vividly and carefully depicted, and their proportions are in proportion to each other. The picture is rendered only with ink, but the depth and intensity of the collocation is extremely reasonable, not using ink on

Xuan paper into infinite "color, so that the picture blank with a real sense of space, giving a person unrestrained,

a breath of deep impression.

The ink colors, if bright or dark,

through the master's skillful handling,

transcends the traditional concept of assigning colors according to the category

and naturally covers the scenery,

becomes a kind of bright atmosphere,

giving rise to a sense of affinity

which reflects Huang Gongwang's high respect for the objective and subjective feelings of the outside world. The artist fully reflects Huang Gongwang's high respect for both the outside world and subjective feelings.

The artist pursues the profound mood of "painting in poetry, poetry in painting" in his paintings, and pays attention to the ink and brushwork of the paintings themselves.

In the painter's view,

the beauty of painting is not only in the depiction of natural scenery,

but also in the beauty of the brush and ink itself, which conveys the painter's feelings, momentum and interest.

Through the appreciation of this

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"

and other works, we can see that

through the appreciation of

art works can not only learn the knowledge of aesthetics,

but also cultivate the ability to create beauty.

It is very important for our sex

character, feelings, understanding, outlook on life, ideological outlook, etc. It can cultivate our positive

sexuality, initiative, so that artistic literacy and humanistic cultivation can be improved.

More generally,

the significance of art appreciation is to make the work fulfill its creative mission.

Works that are not appreciated or appreciated

that is, works that do not meet the audience will not have any social effect,

and works of art can only have an effect through

appreciation.

The process of art appreciation is one in which the viewer thinks actively,

based on his or her own life experience and knowledge,

understands the work and perfects it.

Specific works will have different effects on different viewers

but the ****same effect that exists in works of art is the main one.

Appreciation of art is to improve people's

cultural literacy and aesthetic quality, in order to promote the development of society for the purpose.

First of all, art appreciation can help us broaden our horizons and

expand the field of knowledge.

The world in which human beings live is extremely

expansive and rich in life, but for each child, no matter how knowledgeable he is, it is impossible to

experience all aspects of social life. However, with the help of many excellent works of art, both ancient and modern,

it is possible for us to visualize and contact many vast areas of life and experience that are far from being able to be involved.

Taking Chinese

art works as an example, many paintings, sculptures, crafts and various architectural arts from the past and present can help us broaden our horizons, and

enable us to learn a lot of

vivid and rich knowledge that we cannot get from books and personal experience.

Foreign art works

show us a wide world.

So through the

appreciation of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign works of art,

it can help people to travel around the world,

walk through history,

greatly expand the field of knowledge

.

Secondly, art can cultivate people's sentiment and promote the construction of spiritual civilization. The characteristics of art appreciation activities,

first of all, it is a kind of feeling and understanding,

feelings and awareness of the unity of spiritual activities.

Therefore,

the appreciator

raises awareness and

receives education through the appreciation of works of art.

such as the primitive society of China's colored pottery and the Shang Zhou

bronze art,

and many of their ingenious,

glossy crafts,

so that a person y aware of our

motherland's long history and the splendor of the ancient culture,

so as to enhance the love for the great motherland of ideological feelings.

In the process of appreciation

, through the comparison and identification, can also make us realize what is true, good and beautiful, what is false, evil and ugly,

The process of aesthetic criticism is the process of improving the spiritual realm.

Thirdly, art appreciation is an important way to improve artistic cultivation and aesthetic ability. Marx said:

"The object of art

creates the moving art and the public who can appreciate it"

. That is to say, the

works created in accordance with the principles of beauty,

in turn, will play an aesthetic educational role for people,

thus improving people's ability to appreciate art.

This

accumulation of the ability to appreciate art,

is the process of improving one's artistic ability.

The more

artworks you see,

the more you are able to identify and appreciate art.

China's ancient North and South Dynasties period of the famous literary theorist Liu Fu said

"Fuck a thousand songs and then know the sound, watch a thousand swords and then recognize the tool" is the truth. Appreciate more ancient and modern Chinese

external excellent works of art,

More aesthetic analysis of daily life works of art,

is to improve people's artistic

qualification and aesthetic literacy is an important way.

We will be impressed by the real and vivid images in the process of appreciating these art works,

evoking

our beautiful and noble thoughts and feelings. In this subtle process, we will get the purification of the soul,

emotional cultivation,

in the unknowing acceptance of the healthy spiritual quality and moral sentiments,

so as to improve the human

emotional state,

influence human behavior.

At the same time, we also get visual pleasure and enjoyment,

expanding our field of knowledge,

opening up our horizons.

Through the appreciation of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" makes me understand the excellent traditional culture on the other hand of China,

understand the excellent thoughts and life values of Chinese tradition,

it broadens my knowledge,

it is important to cultivate our ability to recognize

the world

,

the aesthetic eyes and healthy aesthetic interests and future development of life

,

are of great

importance.
