He founded the earliest royal painting academy in the world, established the examination system, set up the painting science, trained painting talents and created a generation of painting style. At that time, the assessment standard of the Academy of Painting was "complete brushwork and meaning". "Pen" is a realistic skill; "Yi" is poetic, artistic and interesting.
According to the record, he wrote the following questions:
"The flowers are fragrant with horseshoes." The winner drew a group of bees and butterflies chasing horseshoes.
"A little green and a little red, not much touching spring scenery". The first painter painted the Spring Willow Building, and a woman leaned against the bar and looked red.
"No one crosses the wild water and crosses the sun alone." The first picture shows a boy lying at the stern with a flute beside him, indicating that he has no leisure during the field crossing.
An ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains. The winning bidder did not draw an ancient temple, but only a monk drawing water under a mountain stream to show that the ancient temple was hidden in it.
Sell restaurants by the bamboo lock bridge. The winner only drew a wine flag in the bamboo forest by the bridge.
Wan Li, a butterfly's dream home. The best painting is Su Wu's "A Sheep Dozing" to show the memory of Wanli.
He not only pays attention to the poetry of painting, but also emphasizes the spirit of realism.
Once, he stopped at the arch of the colonnade in front of the temple and asked who painted it. The attendants told him that it was painted by a young man who had just entered the painting academy. He immediately issued a decree to reward the young man, and said, "Few people can draw Chinese rose flowers well, because in different seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, at different times in the morning and evening, stamens and leaves change greatly and are different from each other. This oblique branch rose blooms at noon in spring, and the painted stamens and leaves are not bad at all. "
On another occasion, he asked the students of the Painting Academy to draw peacocks, but most of them failed to satisfy him. He said, "A peacock must leave his left foot before boarding the dock. The pictures of Qing and others are all right feet. " This meticulous guidance embodies the realistic spirit in his paintings.
In the Tang Dynasty, the art of calligraphy was pushed to a climax because of Li Shimin. In Song Dynasty, painting art was pushed to a climax because of Evonne.
Song Huizong Evonne was a fatuous emperor in the history of China, but he was an outstanding painter among the emperors of past dynasties. He likes painting. He is in charge of the painting academy. He sets questions, approves papers and teaches in person. The questions he gave are full of interest and are still praised by people today. We might as well read a few stories first:
Zhu suo Qiao bian mai restaurant
Selling restaurants by the bamboo lock bridge is one of the famous examination questions of the Academy of Painting. In this exam, many candidates are more important than restaurants, which are set off by streams, wild bridges and bamboo forests. However, none of these paintings attracted Evonne, except a painter named Li Tang, who had novel ideas and developed a new method. In the picture, there is a stream, a small bridge lying across it, a bamboo forest beside the bridge, and a "wine" curtain fluttering in the wind among the lush bamboo forests. The composition of this painting begins with the word "virtual", which makes people think. Evonne was very happy when he saw it. He felt that the restaurant hidden in the bamboo forest was in line with the artistic conception of the word "lock", and he personally circled it as the first place.
Step on the flowers and return to the horseshoe.
This examination question is also very innovative and poetic. As soon as the examination questions came out, almost all the candidates in the whole examination room were drawing horses and flowers, drawing dignitaries and literati, shuttling among the flowers. Evonne was not satisfied after reading it, but in the end, in several papers, Evonne was attracted by a painting. I saw a good horse walking slowly and a few bees chasing horseshoes. It seems that the author's originality lies in that the horse attracted bees after stepping on the blooming flowers. There are both "stepping on flowers to go home" and "horseshoe fragrance" in the picture. This is the author's ingenious idea, and naturally it was rated as the first.
The green branches are a little red.
This question is very weighty, because "the tender green branches are a little red, and there is no need for annoying spring scenery" is the original intention of the whole poem. Therefore, most of the candidates at that time decorated the spring scenery with red flowers and green leaves on the screen, or exposed a red flower in the shade. However, at the top of the list is a little-known painter. In a tree-lined pavilion, he drew a lady standing on a column, but the small red and light green branches of his cherry mouth complement each other, thus highlighting a little red theme.
In addition, Song Huizong's painting exam topics include Wan Li in a Butterfly Dream, Ancient Temple in the Deep Mountains and Crossing the Wild without a Boat.
Through the anecdotes of the emperor's teacher, we can see the charm of "imagination". Those people are praised by the emperor because they have strong imagination and can concretize abstract things through imagination.
