I. Zhao Mengfu
Zhao Mengfu, Zi Ang, Han nationality, is a Taoist named Song Xuedao, a Taoist named Crystal Palace (referring to Taoist Shuijing Palace), and a middle-aged Ou Bo who worked for Meng Zhen. Xing Wu (now Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province) was originally from Lanxi, Wuzhou. From the late Southern Song Dynasty to the early Yuan Dynasty, he was an official, calligrapher, painter and writer, the 11th grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu.
Zhao Mengfu was clever from an early age. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, he joined the army as Zhou Zhen's secretary. After the death of Song Dynasty, he lived in seclusion and made great contributions. It was not until the 23rd year of Yuan Dynasty that he arrived at Dadu to see Yuan Shizu and was awarded the Doctor of Ministry of War on the recommendation of Cheng Jufu, an imperial envoy of Taiwan Province. Since then, he has successively served as Bachelor of Jixian County, General Manager of Jinan Road, Confucian scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Bachelor of Hanlin and Doctor Rong Lu.
Second, the main influence of Zhao Mengfu
Zhao Mengfu is well-read and versatile, and literature and art create a generation of ethos. He is also good at all kinds of paintings, including landscape paintings by Dong Yuan and Li Cheng. Characters, pommel horse teacher, Li and Tang people; Bamboo, flowers and birds are famous for their mellow brushwork, stone painting is flying white, and calligraphy writes bamboo with a pen.
He strongly advocated changing the style of quadrangles in the Southern Song Dynasty, claiming that "painting is expensive because it has an ancient meaning, even if there is no ancient meaning, it is useless to be meticulous". He was far behind the statutes of the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty. People praised him for his "ambition" in the Tang Dynasty and "heroism" in the Northern Song Dynasty, and removed their "slimness" and "preciseness", thus creating a new atmosphere of painting style in the Yuan Dynasty.
Amin scholar Wang Shizhen once said: Scholars painted from Dongpo to Song Xue. If the interest of Tang and Song painting lies in creating a literary environment, then Zhao Mengfu played a bridge role in it. If the literati painting movement before the Yuan Dynasty was mainly manifested in the preparation of public opinion, and the literati painting movement after the Yuan Dynasty gradually replaced formal painting with its successful practice and became the mainstream of painting, it was Zhao Mengfu who caused this change.
