Fifty years of Kangxi in Shan Li? In the fifty-third year of Kangxi, he was admitted to the imperial court by painting, but he was excluded because he didn't want to be bound by the "orthodox" painting style, but he was forbidden to leave his job. ? For three years, Yu Qianlong was appointed as the magistrate of a county in tengxian. For political simplicity, he won the hearts and minds of the people. He was dismissed for offending his boss, and later lived in Yangzhou, painting for a living. Shan Li's works, poems, calligraphy and painting. Learn painting from Jiang Tingxi and Gao. After being influenced by Shi Tao, he was good at flowers, bamboo stones and pines and cypresses. His early painting style was meticulous and rigorous. From middle age, he turned to freehand brushwork, bold and pungent, free and easy, full of emotion and magnificent.
There are two ways to pronounce the word shark in Shan Li. The first one is tuó (camel), just like catfish, that is, pigs, dragons and "beasts". According to the memory of the old man in Linzi, when Shan Li was a county magistrate in Linzi, everyone knew his name was Li Tuó, and literati warned each other not to read the wrong official taboo. ? Li shan's mandarin fish map
Another way to pronounce it, shàn, is the same as eel. Li Shan, a pioneer in Jianghu, has inscribed a picture called "Eel" many times, admitting that he is just an ordinary eel between Jianghuai. From catfish to eel, from beast to ugly little fish, it somewhat alludes to the bumpy fate of the protagonist's "two changes in fame and one decline", reflecting the tragic mentality that the protagonist is frustrated in his official career and has to take painting as his career and can never achieve self-balance.
Shan Li loved painting freely, and 16 was quite famous. Later, he entered the court and became a court painter, but life was not smooth. Shan Li's "Serving the Country with Courtesy". After "two reforms and one demotion", he went to Yangzhou to sell paintings for a living. Zheng Xie (Zheng Banqiao), a fellow countryman, has the closest relationship. Therefore, he is said to be "selling paintings in Yangzhou and growing old with Li together", and he is also said to be "a gifted scholar with a mouthful of admiration." . The tortuous life has deeply influenced his painting style. ? Scroll of Shan Li's Calligraphy Works
In his early years, he studied landscape painting from Wei, a fellow countryman, and inherited Huang all the way. When I worshipped the imperial court, I studied painting with Jiang Ting, and my painting was very successful. Later, he asked the master of finger painting for advice and advocated freehand brushwork. From Shi Tao's Yangzhou brushwork? Inspired, he splashed ink with a broken pen, and his painting style changed greatly, forming his own unique style of "ink and wash blending into fun". He likes to write inscriptions on paintings, and his handwriting is uneven. The pictures are very rich, and his works have a great influence on flower-and-bird painting in the late Qing Dynasty. Paintings handed down from generation to generation include "Iris on Earth Wall" by Nanjing Museum and "Matsumoto Map" by Palace Museum. In 2005, Beijing Arts and Crafts Publishing House published The Complete Works of Famous Painters in China, including The Collection of Shan Li's Paintings (Volume I). Shan Li's artistic achievements in painting are mainly reflected in the following two aspects: first, he greatly expanded the expressive field of freehand flower-and-bird painting, flowers and trees in nature, various utensils in people's daily life, and even farm food that has never been elegant, such as mulberries, silkworms and broken banana fans. , has also been absorbed into the painting one by one, and its theme is far richer and more diverse than the previous people. ? Secondly, he also made a new breakthrough in the expressive techniques of freehand flower-and-bird painting. He studied hard Shi Tao's painting method of broken pen and splashing ink, which was hearty and bold and dynamic, fully showing the author's creative passion. At the same time, he also learned the expression method of boneless flowers, which is meticulous, elegant in color and ink, rich in varieties and rich in three-dimensional modeling. When painting, he can often use both, which is natural, flexible and changeable, and has strong artistic expression. Among the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, Shan Li was severely criticized by critics in the late Qing Dynasty, mainly accusing him of breaking away from tradition, lacking meaning in pen and ink, being "overbearing" and "losing to the essence". Throughout his life, Shan Li was a painter with unique talent.
Shan Li's achievements in calligraphy are also remarkable. ? Li shan's calligraphy works
Li Shan's calligraphy is simple and elegant. When painting, I like to fill the picture with long inscriptions and postscript, and sometimes even fill the picture with uneven levels of inscriptions, so that I can see the emptiness in the quality and make the whole picture more vivid and hearty. To this end, Qin said that his "calligraphy is simple, the titles are randomly arranged, unique, and almost free from vulgarity and self-reliance."

Song Teng Tu is a work of the painter in his middle age. In the painting, an old pine tree leans into the picture, with mottled bark and lush pine branches; A cane climbs next to a pine tree; A slight color in ink. There are seven wonders in the right sky: "Sing a hundred thousand branches of spring breeze, and find where to write more poems." The sky is high and the court is high, and a vine is blooming. "This poem also tells the painter's mentality at that time. The painter is famous for painting flowers, bamboo and stones. His painting style was neat at first, and then gradually turned to bold style. Influenced by Xu Wei in the Ming Dynasty, the painting style in the mature period changed from the previous rules to a leisurely and chic style, forming its own painting style.
