Kang Sheng painting and calligraphy

Qi Baishi should be familiar to everyone. He is an outstanding artist in modern China and a representative figure in the painting world. When it comes to China painters, Qi Baishi is often the first person we think of. Qi Baishi's fame is also great, and his painters have reached the point of being superb. However, one person thought that his paintings were not worse than Qi Baishi's, and he even took a pen name "Lu Chishui" to compare with Qi Baishi. This man is Kang Sheng.

Kang Sheng

Kang Sheng, 1898, a native of Shandong. His family background is very good. He is a landlord family. Kang Sheng's original name was Zhang Zongke. At that time, the Zhang family was a famous family. Kang Sheng has received a good education since he was a child, and he has been cultivating Kang Sheng since his family was rich. Therefore, Kang Sheng had a strong interest in traditional culture since he was a child, and he also had his own research on traditional culture. However, Kang Sheng is a very thoughtful person. He doesn't like what others say, and he is rebellious. When he 13 years old, his grandfather locked Kang Sheng up because Kang Sheng had a fight with others, hoping that Kang Sheng would understand his mistake and correct it.

However, Kang Sheng is a very indomitable person. With the help of his friends, he went to Qingdao Lixian Middle School to study. After graduation, he stayed in that small county to teach. Not long after becoming a teacher, Kang Sheng came into contact with new ideas, which had a great influence on Kang Sheng. He decided not to be a teacher. 1925, Kang Sheng joined China * * * Production Party and officially became party member. Kang Sheng is engaged in political work in * * * Production Party. He took part in three Shanghai uprisings and worked as a secretary in many areas.

1934, Kang Sheng was elected as a member of the Central Committee. At this time, Kang Sheng has occupied a high position and accumulated a lot of experience in political work for a long time, which also made him slowly deviate from the original track. 1942, Kang Sheng launched the Yan' an rectification movement, but it was corrected by the central authorities in time, so there was no big problem. Although Kang Sheng made some mistakes, he made great contributions to the Party. Besides, Kang Sheng is most famous for his calligraphy and painting.

Compared with Guo Moruo

Kang Sheng has been practicing calligraphy since he was a child, so he has great confidence in calligraphy. He can write the plum blossom seal with both hands at the same time. You know, we all write with our right hands, and only some left-handers can write with their left hands. It is rare for ordinary people to write with their left hand, let alone write with both hands at the same time. Kang Sheng also blurted out wild words, saying that Guo Moruo's handwriting was better than his own with a stick. It's a bit unkind for Kang Sheng to ridicule others like this, but to be fair, Guo Moruo's accomplishments in calligraphy are not as good as Kang Sheng's, so Kang Sheng has such great confidence.

Kang Sheng is a conceited man. He not only thinks that his calligraphy attainments are very high, but also is one of the best in painting. He thinks that his painting level has reached the level of Qi Baishi, so he will have a pen name "Lu Chishui" to compete with Qi Baishi for hegemony. Kang Sheng's family is very rich, so Kang Sheng began to copy many original works at an early age, and naturally learned the painting skills of those famous painters and painters. Moreover, when Kang Sheng worked in Shanghai earlier, he was the owner of a photo studio. This job is very leisure, so Kang Sheng often writes and paints in his spare time.

Others say that the Kang Sheng family has more than 2,000 mu of land, and there are more than 20 big houses in Beijing alone. There are all kinds of cultural treasures at home, and its collection is among the best in the country. Kang Sheng, who can see these treasures every day, is also influenced by these cultural treasures and has great artistic talent. However, if Kang Sheng dares to compare with Qi Baishi, his accomplishments in painting should be very high.

Kang Sheng is good at drawing lotus flowers and pine chrysanthemums, and his painting Lotus was published in Beijing Evening News. When this painting was exhibited, many masters of painting were stunned. Everyone thinks his paintings are very successful. If you don't read this signature, you will think it was painted by a famous painter. Lotus flowers are very realistic, and the lotus leaves also show a sense of unevenness. Several lotus flowers in bud add a lot of color to this painting. Even Guo Moruo, who had a holiday with Kang Sheng, couldn't help praising this painting, which shows that this painting is really the best.

Challenge qi Baishi

Qi Baishi is most famous for painting shrimps. The shrimps painted by Mr. Qi Baishi are lifelike, and the lotus flowers also have the charm of lotus flowers and a tenacious temperament. However, some people think that Mr. Qi Baishi's lotus painting is good, but it lacks some fresh breath, which makes people feel that it is painted at first sight and lacks a lot of imagination. However, Kang Sheng's lotus painting pays more attention to reality, highlights the vitality of the lotus, and makes people feel the vitality of the lotus.

The two of them have different views on lotus painting. It is true that carrots and vegetables have their own tastes, and we cannot use our own standards to represent our own standards. Therefore, some people think that Qi Baishi's paintings are good-looking, while others think that Kang Sheng's paintings are better, which is true. Doesn't mean they just said that because they didn't like Qi Baishi. 20 16 "Mo Hetu" painted by Philippine Marie baudry was sold at a high price of 5.06 million yuan, which should be an affirmation to Kang Sheng.

Although Kang Sheng has great artistic talent, his character is not good at all. From 1968 to 1972, Kang Sheng stole 12080 books and102 cultural relics from Beijing Cultural Management Institute, resulting in huge losses. Kang Sheng sometimes gives a few dollars when he takes away cultural relics, but a few dollars is not worth those cultural relics at all. Once, he found the stone sutra of Song Tuohan, a calligrapher of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the warehouse, and left ten yuan to take it away.

1975, Kang Sheng died in Beijing. Because he did many bad things before his death, such as stealing cultural relics, it was very excessive, so five years later, his party membership was expelled from the central government. It is estimated that Kang Sheng himself wouldn't think of being expelled from the Party after his death, but it's all his own fault, otherwise it wouldn't end up like this, would it? If Kang Sheng hadn't stolen these cultural relics, the cultural relics library wouldn't have suffered such a big loss. Please leave a message in the comments section to express your opinion.
