Why do you like to use "Lan" as the object of painting, from which we can see his artistic attitude.

Painting bamboo claims that painting bamboo is not just about seeing the sun and the moon shadow on the paper window powder wall. I once wrote: "My bamboo is refined and elegant, with lines in calligraphy, lines in bamboo, shades in calligraphy, shades in bamboo, density in calligraphy and density in bamboo." He is good at writing bamboo, and even wrote the poem "Between Bamboo and Stone", expressing his aloof feelings with the "between nothing and many knots" of bamboo. Gong combined the four styles of seal script and added a new brushwork. His handwriting varies in size and is uneven, calling himself "six-and-a-half-character calligraphy". He used oriole's brushwork to enhance the momentum of painting, and used "littering all over the street, sticking a pole in the waves" to describe the changes and arguments of his calligraphy. He is good at drawing juran stone, which looks good and has a strong style. He claimed to be "an orchid that never fades in four seasons, a bamboo that never falls down for a hundred days, a stone that never falls down, and a person who will never change." Jiang Shiquan's Poems on Painting Orchids said: "Banqiao is painted like a orchid, elegant and graceful, Banqiao is written like a orchid, and beautiful leaves are numerous and graceful." In this passage, the relationship between "book" and "painting" in his works is really incisive. Calligraphy and painting are characterized by originality, freehand brushwork and interest. He claimed to have the poetic characteristics of "true spirit, true interest and true meaning" (1) to get rid of the old rhetoric. (2) Vernacular instead of classical Chinese. (3) metaphor ethnology festival. Zheng Xie (Banqiao) has two poems praising bamboo, one of which is "On Bamboo Stone": "Insist that the green hills will not relax, and the roots will be rooted in the broken rocks, but they will remain strong after thousands of blows." This poem not only points out the "situation" of bamboo, but also directly tells the truth of bamboo. It can stand all kinds of hardships and tests, and looks like an indomitable martyr, which makes people expect "respect". The other is "Painting Bamboo": "Painting bamboo is everywhere, ups and downs; Today, I refuse to write a long-bearded phoenix tail from the human law. " The first two sentences are about the momentum of painting bamboo, and the last two sentences are about the "stubborn choice of goodness" and the unconventional personality of people and bamboo. "Zheng Xie's 60th Birthday": "If you are a frequent guest, why ask Kangning? But there is money in the bag, wine in the urn and food in the pot. Take some old pages and let the waves sing. Rich and broad, stubborn in appearance, and smarter in facial features than thousands of officials. There are still very few people in their sixties. " If you want to live forever, it is difficult in the air. Only make the ears have no vulgar sounds, eyes have no vulgar things, and the chest has no vulgar things. A few random new flowers crisscrossed. Going to bed late and getting up early, like two days a day, is over 100 years old. In the feudal society of painting art, scholar-officials thought they were lofty, loyal and open-minded, and often expressed their intentions by painting and painting poems. However, due to various historical and social factors, these scholars often take the attitude of staying away from life, escaping from reality, living in seclusion in the mountains and rivers, and putting their feelings in the natural mountains and rivers. Even if their works have feelings, they mostly focus on leisure and self-entertainment. However, among the Eight Eccentric Poets in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, Zheng Banqiao's poems on paintings are different. He got rid of the traditional mode of painting with poetry or painting with poetry. Every painting he draws must take poetry as the theme, and the theme must be good, so as to achieve "picturesque image" and "the meaning of poetry attacking painting" Poetry and painting infinitely embody and expand the breadth of the picture. Zheng Banqiao's poems on paintings pay attention to real life and have profound ideological content. He thinks so. Zheng Banqiao was born in a scholarly family, a scholar in the last years of Kangxi, a juren in the tenth year of Yongzheng, and a scholar in the first year of Qianlong. At the age of fifty, he served as the magistrate of Fan County and Wei County in Shandong Province for twelve years. The idea of "benefiting the people through success" led him to take such measures as "opening a warehouse to help Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting (40 pieces)" and "donating honestly without losing money", which aroused the dissatisfaction of corrupt officials and evil gentry and was demoted. After that, he made a living by selling paintings. Zheng Banqiao's life has experienced ups and downs, and he has seen through the coldness of the world. He dared to incorporate all this into his works. By analyzing Zhu Lan's poems painted by Zheng Banqiao in different periods, we can think of Zheng Banqiao's life experience and all kinds of corruption in Qing Dynasty through limited picture images, which makes the pictures like literary works and movies, telling many stories ... When he was the magistrate of wei county, Shandong Province, he once painted a picture of wei county's colorful bamboo full of years, and the poem said, "Yazhai lies listening to rustling. The bamboo in this painting is no longer a "representation" of natural bamboo, and this poem is no longer a poem without feeling. Through painting and poetry, people think of Banqiao's character. As a magistrate of a county, remembering people's sufferings and diseases from the rustling bamboo sound in the cottage shows that he has people in his heart and his emotional chain is tied to them. At this time, the image of bamboo leaves in the painting has expanded, and the scene of Zheng Banqiao opening a warehouse to help the victims has emerged in people's minds. The "frozen moment" has become an infinite story in the audience's mind, like an infectious novel or movie, which is gripping and thought-provoking. A few strokes of bamboo leaves and a few concise poems make people feel the profound thoughts and affection contained in the works. There are also some photos of Zheng Banqiao leaving wei county after he was demoted, three donkeys, a car full of books, and remain uncorrupted, walking before and after. There is a bamboo painting that says: "If you lose a black veil, you will not be an official, but your pocket is cold. Write a thin bamboo and get a bamboo fishing rod in the autumn wind. "With bamboo, you can express his peace of mind of abandoning officials for the people, being indifferent to fame and fortune and enjoying life. The other is ". On the picture, three or two thin bamboos stand upright from the cracks in the stone and are tenacious and unyielding in the wind. Zheng Banqiao expressed his free and easy mind through bamboo, and his character of bravely facing the reality and never giving in to setbacks. Bamboo is personified. At this time, "poetry is an invisible painting, and painting is a visible poem." Similarly, the title of "Zhu Mo Map" also says: "The official returnees are in the temple, and the bamboo pavilion lies high in the spring breeze. Now planting Yangzhou bamboo, Jiangnan is still green. " Another bamboo picture reads: "trapped by a micro-official, I feel refreshed when I grow up in the imperial garden, and the fragrance is rustling bamboo, and the inner class is dust." These ink drawings all express his feelings of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" after he was demoted. At this point, we can see that most of Zheng Banqiao's bamboo paintings and poems on paintings are based on his feelings for bamboo, expressing the feelings of "listening to the rustling of bamboo in Yazhai, suspecting that it is the voice of people's suffering", showing the tenacity of "taking root in rocks and letting things wind" and expressing the integrity and spirit of "writing a thin bamboo and throwing it away without being an official". This is where Zheng Banqiao's works are different from traditional flower-and-bird paintings and their predecessors. Most traditional Zhu Lan is a subject of appreciation and entertainment. The picture mainly pursues the truth and beauty of natural images, the level of painting skills, and the ingenuity and elegance of pen and ink. In Zheng Banqiao's works, in addition to achieving these skills and techniques, the poems on paintings have also given this theme new ideological content and profound artistic conception, which makes the flower-and-bird paintings ideological and lyrical, giving people a profound feeling, which will make people have endless aftertaste and myriad thoughts. No matter how heartless nature is, the stones in his works are alive, such as the stones in the Column Map, which is also a common theme in previous paintings, but it is rarely shown as the main image. But Zheng Banqiao painted an isolated peak stone in the middle of the painting, but it has the spirit of soaring into the sky, and there is no background around it. Draw four seven-character poems: "Who is lonely and desolate, a pillar of heaven, Zheng Banqiao (39) is upright and ceramic. How can five fights break my waist? " Poetry debunks the topic of painting, and combines stones and characters at once, which can be described as "painting is insufficient and the topic is more than enough, painting is silent and poetry is vocal." Poetry and painting serve each other and open countless ways for future generations. "Zheng Banqiao praised Tao Yuanming with a firm stone. Banqiao praised his upright character and noble character, but at the same time he seemed to reveal his own experience and tolerance. The stone in the painting represents the image of the characters, and contains the characteristics of integrity and momentum, which makes people feel that painting stones here is more meaningful and can reveal profound meanings than painting people. There are many orchids-themed paintings in Zheng Banqiao, and they also show some new contents, which are expressed by poems with themes, implying views on various things. For example, some people borrow the characteristics of orchids, showing that they are not arrogant in victory, unyielding in failure and holding a normal mind. The poem said: "Orchids are related to bamboo books, always between green mountains and green waters. Frost and snow do not fade, spring is not bright, and people laugh red and purple. "Orchids communicate with people, and people should be as quiet, lasting and fragrant as orchids, not floating or impetuous, and not striving for beauty. Paintings that are close at hand have unlimited development and far-reaching artistic conception. Another example is: some borrow a clump of orchids with some thorns in the middle to express the magnanimity of a gentleman who can tolerate villains. The poem "Stone Map of Thorns and Orchids" says: "Don't let thorns turn into orchids. Outsiders look coldly and see a mixture of good and evil people, and they know that Buddhism is vast and long. "Another picture," The Bluethorn Stone Map, "said," What happens if there are gentlemen in the picture, and then there are thorns? "? Mr. Gai can tolerate villains, no villains, and can't be a gentleman, so the orchid among thorns is more lush. "Banqiao is unique, a few piercings are inserted between orchids, and the orchid thorns are painted * * *, which expresses the magnanimous mind that" only after tempering can you become a hero "when you meet a villain, and the readers of the painting also benefit a lot. The more I read, the more I feel that simple plants have far-reaching artistic conception and endless fun. Looking at the Lanzhushi painted by Zheng Banqiao, we can easily see the reason why he likes to paint Lanzhushi. As he said, "Orchids that never fade in the four seasons, bamboos that last forever, invincible stones, unchanging people" and "are also for the sake of four beauties". There are orchids, bamboos, stones, knots, incense and bones. In his eyes, the blue bamboo stone can represent people's loyalty, selflessness, perseverance, bright heart and noble character, so every word of his poems has far-reaching artistic conception. Zheng Banqiao's most famous poem is "The Inscription of Mozhu": Yazhai lies listening to the rustling of bamboo, which is suspected to be the voice of the people's sufferings. In some small counties and cities in Cao Zhou, one branch and one leaf are always worrying. This poem is about the disaster in Shandong when he was in office, and there were countless hungry people. Zheng Banqiao ran for the victims all day, worked hard during the day, and couldn't sleep at night. Listen out the window, the wind is blowing bamboo, making a rustling sound. He immediately thought of the people's complaints about hunger and cold, so he got up and drew paper, made this article and gave it to his superiors to let them know the sufferings of the people. He also wrote to ask for relief, open an official warehouse and relieve the people. The disaster is serious and the situation is urgent. He didn't have time to wait for the approval of his superiors, so he decided to open a warehouse and release grain, and at the same time mobilized officials to cook porridge for disaster relief, so he offended his superiors and was dismissed. All the above are Zheng Banqiao's paintings, inspired by his close connection with various phenomena in real life. It is also his contribution to "literati painting", "divorced from reality, escaping from reality" and "caring for reality and paying attention to reality". Inscribed poems enrich the relatively simple flower-and-bird paintings with rich social content, produce profound ideological and lyricism, and narrow the distance with readers, as if they had a heart-to-heart exchange and face-to-face dialogue, which enabled the "frozen moment" to continue and strengthened the artistic appeal. The poems inscribed in his works are not only ideological and lyrical in content, but also artistic and interesting in form. Painting and poetry can fully reflect the artistic interest of "painting and calligraphy are of the same origin" and "painting method is the same", while the traditional painter's inscription and postscript mostly focuses on the blank space of painting and plays a balance role with the picture. However, the inscription and postscript of "Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou" has been divorced from the inscription and postscript of traditional Chinese painting and literati painting, especially the combination of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting. For example, in "Shi Lan Map", Zheng Banqiao skillfully combined poetry with calligraphy and authentic Cao Li seal, and the size was strewn at random, just like "paving the road with stones" on a stone wall, which replaced the method of painting stones, resulting in the beauty of rhythm and rhythm, which just showed the three-dimensional sense and texture beauty of stones in the field, which was better than the method of painting stones alone. This has become an indispensable expression method, which not only profoundly reveals the characteristics of orchids, but also implies the artistic beauty of noble character, which has the artistic beauty of calligraphy instead of calligraphy. People can not only appreciate the artistic beauty of painting and poetry, but also appreciate the formal beauty of calligraphy art and immerse themselves in poetry. In addition, in many of Lan Zhushi's paintings, his poems are diverse, unconventional and eclectic, which naturally becomes interesting, makes a good book fit the line, and adds a lot of color to the paintings. The so-called decent style is to conceive according to the actual picture and pay attention to the formal beauty of composition. Therefore, he will write poems on the side, up and down, vertically and horizontally, or between orchids and vines, and observe its shape intermittently, uneven and dense. It is a book, a title, a painting, a poem, a poem and a painting. Appreciating the poems inscribed in each painting is not only a wonderful reproduction of calligraphy, but also a comprehensive art that makes calligraphy and painting set each other off. The book title and the picture are organically integrated, which constitutes a unified poetry and gives people a comprehensive and perfect artistic enjoyment. Therefore, the world admires them as the best creators of poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing. To sum up, Zheng Banqiao's works have broken through the barriers of traditional flower-and-bird painting. His works are not the "reappearance" of natural scenery, the imitation of predecessors' art, nor the pen-and-ink game far away from life, but have unique personality and innovative spirit. Therefore, its works were welcomed by people at home and abroad as soon as they came out. It is not difficult to find that people's aesthetic standards like works with individuality, artistic conception, innovation and appeal, which enlightens us that only works with individuality and innovation can have unlimited vitality.
