This painting depicts the cold winter, when it was freezing and the mountains were covered with snow. There are several huts in the mountains, one of which looks like a pub, and there is a wine flag shop hanging outside, swaying in the wind. The door of the pub was wide open and empty. On the mountain road in the distance, there is a brigade holding an umbrella and braving the heavy snow. There is a fishing boat with a awning behind the pub, and a fisherman is sheltering from the wind and snow in the awning.
Landscape painting often depicts green mountains and green waters. It is rare to see such a cold and snowy winter scenery. The Five Dynasties were masters who painted snow scenes, and Xie was also good at painting snow scenes. Comparing Tang Bohu's works with those of the above two men, Tang Bohu's victory lies in his clean and powerful brushwork.
Tang Yin, a native of Tang Bohu, was born in Chenghua, Ming Xianzong for six years, and was born in Yin Shi on a silver moon and a silver day, hence his name Tang Yin, with the word Bohu, a word of fear, and the number six, such as a layman and the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple. Tang Yin was born in a small businessman's family, and he was smart since childhood.
When he was in his twenties, his family suffered a change. His parents, wife and sister died one after another, and his family came down. At the suggestion of his good friend Zhu Zhishan, he devoted himself to his studies. At the age of 29, she took the Yingtianfu public examination and won the first prize of "Xie Yuan". At the age of 30, I went to Beijing to take the exam, but I was accused of being an official because of cheating in the examination room. From then on, I lost the idea of fame and fortune and career, and made a living by selling paintings.
Besides being good at painting, his calligraphy is also excellent. Tang Bohu's calligraphy is graceful, round, soft and powerful. There is a seven-character quatrain poem by Tang Bohu in the painting, which is even more brilliant. In Si Wu family, it is the most famous. When people talk about it, they all say that he is a degenerate. After enjoying this painting "Chai Men Shades Snow", you may have more thoughts. Tang Bohu is worried and sad, but he doesn't long for warmth!
