The painting art of Song Dynasty is unique in China's past painting art, which is directly related to Song Huizong's personal experience, personal system design, cordial care and guidance for painters, the reform of the Palace Painting Academy and the establishment of the imperial examination system. This paper focuses on the outstanding historical contribution of Song Dynasty in fine arts painting.
Evonne's contribution to literature and art is not only manifested in his outstanding artistic genius, but also in his creation of a large number of masterpieces of poetry, painting and calligraphy handed down from generation to generation. Moreover, because he attached great importance to the inheritance and development of literature and art, relying on his special position and outstanding talent, he successfully improved and strengthened the system of the Northern Song Dynasty Painting Academy, actively trained artistic talents, and made outstanding contributions to the prosperity of art in the late Northern Song Dynasty and even later generations. Some emperors of past dynasties loved to collect calligraphy and painting, and some even participated in creation. Song Like and Hui Zong, who devoted himself to calligraphy and painting, extended his personal hobby to the cultural life of the whole society extensively and deeply, making it a social and cultural phenomenon, but it was unique.
His achievements in this respect are highlighted in his reform and construction of the Palace Painting Academy. After Song Huizong ascended the throne, he inherited the tradition of Xishu and Nantang in the previous generation, and established the Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy Institute in the imperial court to organize artists to create art and directly serve the imperial court. As the direct leader of the Academy of Painting, Song Huizong implemented a series of creative innovation measures according to his artistic purport and appreciation standard, established a complete system for it, and made bold exploration and reform in the process of painting, examination, course and teaching.
Song Huizong changed the recruitment system of the Academy of Painting into examination admission, which was formally included in the imperial examination, and started the examination as a senior official. This is a fundamental reform. The former emperors only regarded the Painting Academy as a service organization, while Hui Zong was built from the perspective of long-term construction, personnel training and artistic development.
He took it? Old way, new way? The policy of differential treatment, except for the famous painters who worked in hospitals left by the previous generation, has passed the examination.
Because Hui Zong himself knows the art of painting, the talents he recruited are naturally high-level. In imperial academy, paintings have been added, and Buddhism, figures, landscapes, birds and animals, flowers and trees, houses and trees have been established. With what? Do not imitate the predecessors, but the modality of things is natural and the rhyme is noble? Evaluation of painting standards. According to the "History of Song Dynasty", candidates from all over the country came in droves at that time, with unprecedented pomp. No less than today's art college entrance examination, I am fortunate to be one in a hundred.
