The illustration method of quatrains is as follows:
For example, "Two orioles sing in the green willows, and a row of egrets ascend to the blue sky. The window contains the snow of Qianqiu in the West Ridge, and the door is docked with a ship thousands of miles away from Dongwu." This is an ancient poem by Du Fu.
First draw some willow branches in the upper right corner. You can draw more willow branches. Draw two orioles next to the willow branches. Draw a house on the left side and draw grass in the middle. Grass. Draw some grass on the top, some stones on the lower right corner, some peaks on the top, and a river between the peaks and the grass. In this way, the quatrain poem with line drawing is completed.
Then start coloring, paint the mountain peaks with gray, the grass with green, the oriole with yellow, the willow branches with brown, the willow leaves with green, and the houses with yellow and brown. Paint the stone with brown, tidy it up, and write verses in the blank spaces. This painting of Du Fu's quatrains is ready.
The meaning of this quatrain is: The willows outside the house are full of green color, and the willow branches are fluttering in the wind. Two orioles chased each other among the willow branches and sang sweet songs. The poet was so amused that he wrote the vivid poem "Two orioles singing in the green willows". Then I turned my sight to the sky and saw rows of egrets flying freely in the sky, as if they were trying to connect with the blue sky.
This will naturally make the poet feel like "a line of egrets rising into the sky". These two sentences range from near to far, and have a broad vision. The poet's eyes are like the lens of a camera, turning to Xiling (ie Minshan Mountain) on the opposite side. This majestic Xiling is covered with white snow that has not changed for thousands of years. It stretches across the west like a barrier of snow. Although Xiling is big, this small window can give you a panoramic view of the snowy scenery of Xiling.
