Wang xiren's allusions and anecdotes

Wang Xi, the only son in the family, studied calligraphy and painting with his grandfather, who was a court painter in Ruyige. His painting style has a strong foundation of traditional painting, and is influenced by western missionary Lang Shining and others. He pays attention to realism, expresses the volume, texture and sense of space of objects with perspective and light and shade, and reflects the color effect of objects under a certain light source.

Wang Xiren has made great achievements in ancestors, especially in making ink. People often mentioned to him that Wang Xizhi, Gu Kaizhi, Tang Bohu and Lang Shining all paid great attention to the use of ink, silk, rice paper and pigments. The raw materials used are exquisite and the manufacturing process is complicated. An ingot of high-quality good ink must have the characteristics of solid luster, lightness and moisture, non-stick pen, non-paper penetration and long fragrance. Therefore, influenced by his grandfather, Wang Xiren was good at storing and refining ink.

Wang Xiren's grandfather once said: "Smoke ink is the best ink, among which the lampblack is gorgeous, the lacquer smoke is thick, the pine smoke is dull, and the lampblack is the best"; Therefore, Wang Xiren has always kept it in mind. Over the years, according to Cheng Junfang's ink-making theory, after years of careful development, he finally created five kinds of cigarette inks that can be compared with Gu Mo in Cheng Junfang, among which cake cigarettes and grass cigarettes were invented inks; After production, it can produce a particularly gorgeous effect; This kind of ink makes the picture permanent and the material natural, which meets the requirements of modern environmental protection and is beneficial to people's health.

Wang Xi's life is casual and simple, and he has two hobbies with him all his life. One is that he always paints with alcohol to inspire him. At the same time, he inherited his grandfather's unique preference for teapot after he retired from his hometown. As the saying goes, "Yixing Zisha is the most important."
