Brief introduction of the author
Lonely bird
Zhu Da (1626— 1705), a descendant of Zhu Quan, a wise king of Mingning, was born in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, with the number "0 137". In the fifth year of Qing Shunzhi (1648), he became a monk, and his dharma name spread. There are many new words, nicknames and nicknames, including a mountain, a donkey house and a human house. In the 23rd year of Kangxi (1684), he was born in Badashan Mountain. The rough fate has influenced his outlook on life and artistic creation, and most of his paintings are full of hatred for the Qing Dynasty and attachment to the Ming Dynasty. Landscape painting has formed its own unique artistic style, which is based on Huang's simplicity and innocence under the patriarchal clan system and Dong Qichang's elegance and agility in Ming Dynasty. Painting birds refers to the painting methods of Shen Zhou, Xu Wei and other literati in the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, they integrate their strong subjective consciousness, pay attention to the personification of fish, insects, birds and other things, and express obscure meanings by symbolic means. In his later years, the department wrote his name "Badashanren" in cursive script, which seemed to be "crying" and "laughing" to hide his helplessness in the face of drastic changes in life. He and Shi Tao, Hong Ren and Kun Can, both adherents of the Ming Dynasty, were also called "four monks in the early Qing Dynasty". Calligraphy, living in Wang Xianzhi and Yan Zhenqing, is simple, mellow and unique. In middle age and old age, Zhu Da used "Badashanren" in his calligraphy and paintings. ?
