Fuchun Shan Jutu is a paper ink painting created by Huang Gongwang, a painter in the Yuan Dynasty, in 135, and it is one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from ancient times in China.
Huang Gongwang's most famous work is Fuchun Shan Jutu, which took four years to complete. It can be described as a masterpiece and is called one of the "Top Ten Famous Paintings in China".
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this painting was handed to Wu Hongyu, a collector. Wu Hongyu loved this painting so much that he even ordered it to be burned as a martyr before he died, and was rescued from the fire by Wu Hongyu's nephew. But by this time, the painting had been burned into two parts, one big and one small. The longer part is called "Useless Teacher Volume", which is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. The previous paragraph is called "Remaining Mountain Map", which is collected in Zhejiang Provincial Museum.
Extended information
The painting depicts the beautiful scenery on both sides of Fuchun River in early autumn. The mountains and plains, jungle cottages and flying springs and forests in the painting are dizzying. The pen and ink are simple and clear, showing the aura and charm of mountains, water, trees and stones in detail.
In addition, the picture is rich in layers, and the texture and spatial contrast of different trees in the painting are extremely full. Even the grass pavilion figures as decorations are vividly and rigorously depicted in just the right proportion.
the picture is only rendered in ink, but the dark and light ink is transformed into infinite "colors" on the rice paper, which makes the picture have a natural and true sense of space and gives people a profound impression of being unrestrained and at one go.
If the ink is bright and dark, it goes beyond the traditional concept of following the shape, and naturally hangs over the scenery, turning into a bright atmosphere, which gives people a cordial feeling, fully reflecting the tendency of landscape painting in Yuan Dynasty to improvise lyricism with mountains, rivers, trees and stones.
In addition, we can also see the alternate use of dry pen and wet pen in the painting. The lines show the characteristics of looseness and softness, and there are many repetitions and corrections, which brings into full play the changeable degree of literati's calligraphy pen. Through this rich change of pen and ink, it not only shows the inherent vitality of abundant landscapes, but also shows the peaceful and free state of mind of the painter.
