I don't know who Fan Ceng is, I don't know, but I'm sure he has reason to say so.
But Song Huizong's paintings are really great!
I know history, and I will explain it to you with historical understanding. Fan Ceng's words are slander. Whether Song Huizong is a good emperor or not, he must be a good painter and calligrapher. Is it a joke to be thin and golden in history?
Song Dynasty was the Renaissance in China, and I have a deep study of history. I can tell you that the Qin Dynasty began to unify China, which was the beginning of centralization. But in the Song Dynasty, people lived a good life in a civilian society. In the Song Dynasty, they didn't kill literati, questioners or speakers. )
After Qin Hui was kidnapped by the Jin people, Zhang Bangchang, the minister, was made emperor. He was timid and gave Kang Wang a royal collateral (not a direct descendant of the artist, but a descendant of his brother), that is, Song Gaozong. At that time, a man ran to the imperial court to call names, saying that Emperor Qin Hui was only under house arrest and did not die. You are not a descendant of the artistic ancestor, and you are not qualified to be an emperor!
Although the two speakers were finally killed in secret, in the court, the emperor could only trust that I would let Zhao Kuangyin's direct descendants be the prince, and did not dare to refute.
So is the minister. Scholar-officials can't be killed, and the emperor doesn't obey the rules. Scholar-officials have the right to spray you and scold you, and then kneel down and apologize and say that I am doing this for your own good and the country's good.
Qin Gui became prime minister in just two sentences. He said I had a plan to protect the world. The first sentence.
The emperor asked, can you say something?
Qin Gui said, speak out, no prime minister can implement, unless I Qin Gui.
Let me be the prime minister!
Therefore, promotion and wealth, living and working in peace and contentment are all dominated by political bureaucrats, and the emperor's rights are very small. Flattery does not exist.
Moreover, Song Huizong's political mind is simple and he doesn't mind his own business, and he knows that calligraphy and painting are good.
If other literati painters in the Song Dynasty say he can't do it, that's a comparison!
After all, the discovery of literature in the Song Dynasty was unprecedented, and a large number of literati and painters emerged. I know that Europeans were still painting biblical illustrations and abstract paintings in the Song Dynasty (that is, painting a lot of imaginary things), but the Song Dynasty began to be realistic! ! !
This is very important! ! !
Look at the paintings of the Tang Dynasty and the ladies. Compared with the people and horses painted by the Song Dynasty, they are not realistic enough. If you look at the paintings of the Song Dynasty, they are all very real, so specifically, they are beside the point.
Anyway, you can understand that people in the Song Dynasty made unprecedented progress in all fields of art.
A ditty of Kabuki can develop into a literary system of Song Ci!
So folk painters emerge one after another. They are all professional painters. Some people draw better than Song Huizong, so there are no pictures they draw, but we can't say that Song Huizong can't.
As Yu Xiaodong said, "I am not a master painter, but I am good at it, but I dare not put it with Michelangelo's paintings. I feel that my painting is not as good as Michelangelo's toes. "
Can you say that Yu Xiaodong can't do it?
Therefore, Song Huizong's attainments are not high, just look at the paintings. At that time, he was a master!
