Song Huizong's five-color parrot painting belongs to meticulous flower-and-bird painting.

Song Huizong's five-color parrot painting belongs to meticulous flower-and-bird painting. This painting is a horizontal scroll. In the picture, a parrot stands on a diagonal branch, and the parrot is complacent and comfortable, as if talking to people, which is really handsome. It is the time when spring is bright, apricot branches sprout and white flowers are in full bloom. Bitu is a realistic sketch, which shows Hui Zong's profound skill of "wonderful body and various forms".

Creative background: The political system at that time and the political position of his ruler greatly influenced the development of art. He was obsessed with art and extended his hobby to society, resulting in a social and cultural phenomenon. In particular, the development of meticulous flower-and-bird painting reached the peak in the history of ancient flower-and-bird painting in Song Dynasty, which initiated a new era of flower-and-bird painting creation and had a far-reaching impact on later flower-and-bird painting.

Theme: In Hui Zong's view, meticulous flower-and-bird painting depicting auspicious things is not only an artistic creation, but also a unique form and means of governing the country and the nation. He wants to find those auspicious birds and grass that indicate the country's good in nature and draw them.

The color of the five-color parrot in the painting is just similar to the five-color soil enshrined in the national altar. "Five colors" are blue, yellow, red, white and black, symbolizing five directions and the world. Song Huizong just wanted to use these five colors to show the courtiers that this system is "natural", "strange", "extraordinary" and "similar".
