Hao Jing's landscape paintings are famous for their magnificence. Song and Yuan called his paintings "panoramic landscapes", and he was famous for his landscape painting "Crazy Record". This painting is a panoramic composition from the picture. He observed the peaks, village houses, paths and waterfalls from different viewpoints, and skillfully blended them together, so that the space of the whole picture was promoted layer by layer, and the highest main peak was surrounded by peaks, which was even more spectacular, showing a situation of "infinite landscape of heaven and earth and spectacular universe", thus embodying.
In Hao Jing's Crazy Road Map, the mountain is majestic and the tree is short. In the picture, the trees in the distance seem to have no branches, and the mountains in the distance are not obvious. The mountains are flush with the clouds, and the water seems to have no ripples in the distance, but it seems that people's eyebrows are moving slightly. The mountain in the painting is high and straight, and you can see the clouds around the mountainside. The path up the mountain is submerged in this misty mountain and sea.
The whole picture is also hierarchical. At the first level, there is a boat on the wide water, and the boatman is slowly supporting the boat close to the shore, as if to bring the viewer into the beautiful scenery. From the stone slope to the top of the mountain, there are houses and courtyards at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by bamboo fences and trees, and there are stone roads around the mountain behind the house. There are vast smoke waves under the mountain, and the embankment is long and slab bridge. One person rides a horse to enjoy the beautiful scenery and is carefree.
Another level is that there is a waterfall pouring down between the two cliffs, which seems to make a magnificent sound when hitting the stone. Along the path, a small wooden bridge spans between streams, and the dangerous walls on both sides seem to make people feel that people are in the air instead of on the ground.
In the steep mountain, the cliff seems to have a sharp axe chopped down vertically, but there are not many norms to make the whole cliff steeper. The front mountain and the back mountain are organically combined, which makes people look like there are guests and ministers between the mountains, and the back mountain seems to bow and scrape to the front mountain. There are not many mountains in the painting, and more mountains will make the whole picture look chaotic and more crowded; The lack of mountains will make people feel that the mountains are thin and the picture is blank. The distance of the mountain is clear, the distant mountain is not connected with the near mountain, and the near mountain is not far from the distant mountain; Between water is like between mountains. Halfway up the mountain, the peaks seem to be surrounded together. At the foot of the mountain, there are some houses and small bridges dotted with the whole picture, which makes the picture look more lively.
Throughout the painting, the shapes of trees are also different. The branches are straight, thin and strong on the curve. The trees in the picture line up in a curve. Mountains regard forests as barriers, and forests also regard mountains as supports. Just like people and clothes, people are mountains, clothes are forests, mountains borrow forests to change clothes, and mountains are bones. Although there are many trees, they are not dense, which makes the mountains beautiful and not crowded. There is a hotel in the dense forest, and there is an ancient ferry beside the hotel. There is water beside the ancient ferry, and the water surface is very wide.
In this "Crazy Record", Hao Jing handled the subtle layers of water and ink painting overlapping behind, so as to avoid the waterfalls in the mountains from being stiff due to the processing of lines. This painting adopts the method of ink painting, and its rich layers reflect the distance between mountains, water, trees and scenery.
This painting has a strong sense of reality, which shows that the painter's real experience of natural scenery is very profound. The whole painting gives people the feeling that it is shrouded in a mixture of grandeur, rigidity and loneliness, and it seems that it has come to a world far away from human fireworks in a silent feeling, rather than still existing in the real world. In such a free world with mountains and rivers, I found that this is not the realm I want to pursue! It is so quiet and meticulous in this world that you feel the beauty beyond the world-ethereal. I feel that this painting has a taste of "chickens and dogs hear each other, and the old people are old and dead".
The image effect in Hao Jing's painting "Crazy Road Map" shows that Hao Jing's fruitful practice of seeking real natural motivation in this period is to make the similarity between objective natural existence and image reproduction as close as possible. Hao Jing uses "ink" to express the meaning of real images. The painting tool provided by cultural tradition is a brush. The water absorption of the brush and the change of the ink color of the tip provide the painter with the possibility of the closest natural effect. Under the guidance of simple empirical methods, painters began to draw real landscape achievements with perceptual experience.
