Qiu Ying, a master of Paintings of Ming Dynasty, was born a painter. Why can he be called the Four Witches Gate with Tang Yin and others?

It depends on the painting techniques that can crush other painters. Chou Ying's family was a typical poor family in ancient times. It is said that poor families give birth to expensive children, but how many poor families can give birth to expensive children? At least Chou Ying's parents should think so, so they interrupted Chou Ying's study early and sent Chou Ying as an apprentice to a carpenter when he was a teenager. Although he was well-fed, he didn't think it had anything to do with talents such as Tang Yin, until someone who changed his fate appeared.

First, the mentor meets the master. This man is Chou Ying's master Chen Zhou (also Tang Bohu's master). He values Chou Ying's talent for painting and intends to teach him to paint. However, at that time, they faced a problem, that is, Zhou Chen was not a rich man, so Zhou Chen could teach Chou Ying for free, but Zhou Chen could not solve the problems that Chou Ying needed for his own life. Bread was still an ideal multiple-choice question before Chou Ying, but only children could do it. Chou Ying, who was in charge in the early days, chose all the people.

Second, the life of painting turned out to be that Chou Ying chose to be a painter. This job can not only meet the needs of Chou Ying's life, but also enable him to practice painting. Maybe Chou Ying didn't have much free time to practice because of his background, and there weren't many ancient painting resources for him to copy, but Chou Ying persisted, so Chou Ying became more and more famous, and even his master Zhou Chen was crushed by him. With fame, he naturally has no shortage of bread, so that Chou Ying can practice more intently.

Third, Chou Ying is famous all over the world. In this way, Chou Ying stood on the same level with top talents such as Tang Yin, Shen Zhou and Wen Zhiming, and was called the Four Wumen (later called Ming Sijia). Later generations have no less respect for Chou Ying than the other three, and there are also some figures of Daniel level. Dong Qichang commented that Chou Ying was the back of Zhao Boju (a famous painter in Song Dynasty) after reading "Fairy Map". In "Tales of Yunshizhai", Jiang Shaoshu said that as long as Chou Ying copied the famous paintings in Tang and Song Dynasties, they could be confused with the real ones. ?
