Orchids, bamboos and stones come from which poem?
"One orchid, one bamboo, one stone, one joint and one bone"
Zheng Banqiao (1693- 1765) "Bamboo Orchid Map"
Peng Liu
Zheng Banqiao is the most famous poet among the Eight Eccentric Poets in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty. He is good at poetry, painting and calligraphy, and enjoys mountains and rivers, traveling with poets. My favorite painting is blue bamboo stone, which is majestic and lively. Calligraphy has created "six and a half books", with mixed official script and regular script, and its position in the history of painting and its influence on later generations are second to none. Among the many paintings handed down, Zhu is the eternal protagonist, and this one is also one of the representative works. "One orchid, one bamboo and one stone, and the joints are fragrant" has been vividly reflected in the "Bamboo, Stone and Orchid Map".
This picture shows ink paper, with vertical axis 184cm and horizontal axis 93cm. Such a large-scale masterpiece is quite rare in the creation of Banqiao old man. The signing time was 1756, when the painter was 64 years old. He returned to Yangzhou to sell paintings, and many people asked for paintings, and lived the life of "Boss Bridge 20 years ago". Zhu Shi Lan Hui Tu was written for Liu's mother's eightieth birthday.
The picture shows several clusters of bamboo standing in front of the rock, with Whelan as the background, just like nature, showing natural interest. The arrangement of bamboo pruning is patchy, the bamboo poles are thin and strong, the bamboo leaves are scraped with a hard brush, and the bamboo stems are swaying like seal calligraphy. According to Banqiao's self-titled "Ink Bamboo Map", "Dongpo and Lu Zhi don't write books for bamboo, and my bamboo paintings often take their methods. Yellow books are thin, and my bamboo leaves are thin; Dongpo's book is short and fat, and I learned it from my fat leaves in bamboo. " The method of drawing bamboo comes from calligraphy pen, and this picture is particularly obvious. High column and thin leaf painting, fine pen and light ink, corpus luteum treatment; The fat leaf in the heaviest part of the picture is depicted by the thick Mosuo fat front, which is different from Gaozhuyan and adds to the sense of the picture, which can be described as "suitable for its day and complete".
Banqiao stone painting mainly comes from Ni Zan's painting method, which uses simple lines to outline without rendering; Chopping the bamboo slips with an axe, "the stone does not touch the moss", which complements Zhu Lan and adds elegance. Although the rock is rubbed out with a few simple strokes, it gives people a strong feeling that "the grip is hard and the grip is stiff." The painter served as a county magistrate in Shandong for 12 years, and repeatedly promoted the advantages and eliminated the disadvantages for the people, with remarkable results, but he lost his post because he offended local unscrupulous businessmen and officials. However, the steel character of the painter has not changed at all, which can be seen here.
Although there are only a few strokes of Whelan in Noboru takeshita's works, she has a unique spirit, which is "fragrant with Wan Li". Orchid leaves are painted with nails and tails, which are free and easy with exquisiteness. The beauty of orchid leaves, conveyed by ink and cursive brushwork, is more but not chaotic, less but not sparse, and it shows great strength by getting rid of all habits. It not only increases the aesthetic feeling of the picture, but also enhances the chest, which is second only to the fragrance. As the saying goes, "Chunlan is full of fragrance".
The inscription on the painting is a seven-character quatrain: "Nanshan lives longer than thousands of feet and has a higher sense of breeze. If you get the blessing of others, Lan will be spared. " Money department: "Ganzi, write to wish Bian Taijun eighty years old and celebrate his age to learn from Brother Xue. Xie. Seal: History of Painting and Calligraphy in Qianlong East and Chen Bing Jinshi. Banqiao is better at writing poetry because he is good at calligraphy and painting. Poetry disdains idioms and cares about the sufferings of the people. Books are typical "six and a half books", ancient and unique. Painting poems are actually their own situation, that is to say, bamboo cultivation is also the insistence of Banqiao old man himself. This picture was published in the Catalogue of Ancient Paintings and Calligraphy in China (Cultural Relics Publishing House) and The Complete Works of Painting and Calligraphy of Yangzhou School-Zheng Xie (Tianjin People's Fine Arts Publishing House), and was originally collected by Shanghai Cultural Relics Store.
Zheng Banqiao had a terrible career. "Kangxi is a scholar, Yongzheng is a scholar, and Qianlong is a scholar" is both a joke and a self-mockery. He has been a county magistrate for 12 years, but he has not been promoted, and his ambition of governing the country and calming the world has never been realized. He studied painting for a living in his early years and worked as a professional painter in Yangzhou for ten years. After entering the scholar school, I waited to make up for my life by selling paintings. After I was dismissed from office in Shandong, I returned to Yangzhou to sell paintings. All the disappointments in life are in poetry and painting. The hardships of selling paintings and the indifference of the world are all written in Zheng Banqiao's pen, with helplessness and persistence, which is his spiritual value; Although this painting is a birthday work, it is also a portrayal of the painter's own spirit, which is precisely the feeling of "a stronger wind."
