Welcome to visit Nanchang. Today, the scenic spot we visited is Badashanren Memorial Hall, which is located in Qingyunpu Scenic Resort Scenic Area, next to Dingshan Bridge in Hu Mei, 8 kilometers south of Nanchang. Badashanren Memorial Hall is a memorial museum to commemorate Badashanren, a great painter in the history of fine arts in China. The exhibition room there systematically displays the painting and calligraphy art and historical materials of Badashan people, and often displays masterpieces of masters of painting circles in past dynasties. There is a painting and calligraphy gallery in the park, which displays the exquisite artworks of Badashan people in the form of inscriptions. We will be in Badashanren Memorial Hall, antique, full of humanistic atmosphere, faint winding path and interesting machinery. I think it will be a pleasant trip for us to visit Badashanren Memorial Hall.
Now we come to Badashanren Memorial Hall, which is a garden building with Jiangnan characteristics. There are hundreds of years of ancient camphor trees, Castanopsis sclerophylla, Podocarpus, green leaves and numerous shades here, and they are covered with blue bricks, gray tiles, white walls and red columns, which are particularly quiet. The skylight covered by dense leaves sprinkled on the path, and the light and shadow flashed, and the wild interest was everywhere. A bay lotus pond reflects bamboo cages, and fish play with flowers. Outside the park, Qingxi is winding and rippling, and farmland along the stream is criss-crossing, and farmhouse smoke is pervasive. The environment is elegant. Badashanren Memorial Hall was established in June 1959. It is the first memorial hall for ancient painters in China. Her predecessor was Daoyuan, a scenic spot in Qingyunpu Scenic Resort. Now I'll give you a brief introduction to the scenic spots in Qingyunpu Scenic Resort. The establishment of Taoist College in Qingyunpu Scenic Resort Scenic Area has a long historical and cultural background. According to legend, as early as 2,500 years ago, Zhou Lingwang's son started an alchemy here. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Mei Fu, the prefect of Nanchang County, abandoned his official position and went fishing here. Later generations built Meixian Temple in memory of him. Jing Ming School, a Taoist priest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, built a "Tai Chi view" here. It was renamed "Taiyi View" in the Tang Dynasty and "Tianning View" in the Song Dynasty. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it was named "Qingyun Garden". At this time, the "garden" was the "garden" of the nursery, and now the "spectrum" is the "spectrum" of the genealogy.
There are two existing buildings on the site: the gate and the second gate. The stone forehead of the gate is engraved with the three characters "Qingyun Garden". The front and back of the second door are engraved with the words "clean and bright" and "multi-second door" respectively. The whole building was designated as a cultural relic protection unit in Jiangxi Province in 1957. Nanchang has a profound Taoist culture, and Jingmingdao was born here. The buildings we see now are basically Ming and Qing architecture. The three main halls are Guandi Hall, Lv Zu Hall and Xu Zu Hall (now changed to showroom). There is a courtyard between the front and back of the three halls, with ancient trees planted in it, forming the layout of the front and back quadrangles, which is simple and elegant. The whole memorial hall covers an area of about 1 1000 square meters. Architecture and gardens reveal a wild and carefree taste, which is different from those private gardens with lofty views and dignitaries from all over the world, and has a very typical representative significance in cultural and historical values.
Now we come to the exhibition hall, where the life story of Badashan people and his paintings and calligraphy works are displayed. Before appreciating his paintings and calligraphy, I'd like to introduce one of China's national quintessence, Chinese painting for short. It occupies a unique position in the history of world art. Chinese painting can be divided into meticulous painting and freehand painting according to its forms of expression. Badashan people are good at freehand brushwork in ink and wash, and they are very influential figures in China painting circle for more than 300 years.
Badashan, surnamed Zhu Mingdian (Da), was born in the sixth year of tomorrow's apocalypse (1626) and died in the forty-fourth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1705) at the age of 80. He is the ninth grandson of Zhu Quan, the sixteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who lives in Nanchang. When I was young, I was intelligent, inherited Confucianism, was well influenced by art, and lived a noble life. The Shen Jia Revolution (1644), the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Qing regime made Badashan people who were only 19 years old at that time suffer a heavy blow from the collapse of the country and the death of their families. The privileged aristocratic family was destroyed, and his beautiful ideal was shattered. He changed from a brilliant royal family to a member of the adherents who escaped the murder. First I hid in the mountains and forests, and then I shaved my hair and became a monk. He followed Buddhism and practiced hard, becoming a leader in Zen. In his fifties, he stayed in calligraphy and painting all his life, integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into the art of calligraphy and painting, integrating adherents, Zen masters and painters. With that strange feeling and charm, he pulled out the brushwork of the dust table and became a master of art. The works of Badashanren were profound, quiet, pure, extraordinary and natural, forming the unique style of the "Eight Great". You see, the bird he painted is bulging, hunched back and staring at people. A few flowers, trees and stones are fresh and natural, and the world's rich weather is expressed with the simplest pen and ink. Let's look at his inscription again. He used the cursive script of "Badashanren" to express his life experience and cynical attitude, which was as cool as "crying" and "laughing", meaning crying and laughing.
Later generations rated the eight paintings of Pine, Lotus and Stone as the best. We saw the lotus flowers he painted, and the long lotus leaves swayed with the wind, which implied a gentleman's demeanor that was muddy but not dirty. Let's look at the painted pine trees again. The branches are withered in one go, the pen is concise, the pen and ink are not much, the momentum is magnificent and the posture is extraordinary. There is often only a flower, a bird, a fist stone and a tail fish in his picture, which is concise and concise, leaving many gaps, enriching the rest and providing an open imagination space.
The calligraphy achievements of Badashan people are also very high. He completely abandoned all secular utilitarian concepts and entered the realm of selflessness. His handwriting is relaxed and calm?
Badashanren was one of the "Four Great Painting Monks" in the early Qing Dynasty. His personality and painting have inspired generations of painters such as "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou", Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Pan Tianshou, Zhang Daqian and Li Kuchan in the painting world for 300 years, and his artistic vitality is enduring.
Out of the showroom, we came to the garden, where there was a bronze statue-Badashanren. Founded in 1986 to commemorate the 360th anniversary of his birth, Badashan people are handsome but stubborn, and welcome everyone with a smile. Two ancient camphor trees stood beside him, accompanying him day and night. On the east side of the park, there is a calligraphy and painting gallery of Badashanren, and some exquisite works of Badashanren are engraved on the monument for everyone to enjoy and learn.
Badashanren Memorial Hall has been supported by people's governments at all levels and praised by guests at home and abroad since its opening on 1959. Today, our trip to Badashanren Memorial Hall is coming to an end. I wonder if you have a more complete understanding. At present, Badashanren Memorial Hall has become a window for cultural and artistic exchanges between our city and the whole country and even the whole world. Therefore, the art of Badashan people not only belongs to Jiangxi, but also to China, and it is gradually moving towards the world.
Finally, please give me more valuable comments on my explanation. I wish you a happy and enjoyable stay in Nanchang! Thank you!
