This volume is one of the series paintings of The Book of Songs created by Ma, a famous painter in the Southern Song Dynasty. The whole volume of calligraphy and painting *** 10 paragraph, each paragraph is preceded by the original text of the Book of Songs in lower case, followed by a picture. At the beginning of the first paragraph, the book "Things about Luming Literature" was written in four words. At the end of the paragraph, there are three poem titles and a small preface. At the end, there are ten books "Things about Luming Literature". The first paragraph: China Lantern Festival in a luxurious palace in Luming Literature. A king-like man sat in the hall, with guests and ministers sitting on both sides to highlight the significance of the king's banquet. Outside the temple, under the Danqiu, the attendants stood in the ring, and the musicians played drums and played the piano to entertain the monarch and his subjects. On the right are tall trees and stacked clouds, which seem to form a screen, naturally dividing the picture, showing deer in the valley, singing, running or looking for food with their heads down, each with its own posture. The whole picture is close to the center of the banquet guests, simple and clear, and it is easy for people to understand its profound meaning.
The second paragraph: Mu Si's chapter "Mu Si" was sung to comfort foreign envoys. This paragraph describes the plot of foreign envoys coming to North Korea. In the picture, a carriage goes to the left, a man sits in the carriage with a knot in his hand, four servants walk in front of the carriage arm in arm, and a man follows the carriage. Only a bunch of trees are painted in the background, which shows the desolation of the road and the hardships of the envoys' long journey. The facial expressions of the main characters in the picture are not happy, but a little sad, which accords with the description of the characters' mood in the poem, but "the king is in trouble and my heart is sad", and the protagonist shows a complex mood of worrying about the country and the people.
The third paragraph: Emperor, the emperor drew a four-horse-driven car on the mountain road, which went from left to right, contrary to the running direction of the characters in the previous paragraph. The preface to the poem says: "The emperor is from China, and your majesty sent his envoys to be polite and happy, and his words were far-reaching and glorious." A man was sitting in the car, holding a reins in his hand. The attendants beside the car were holding sacrificial vessels for envoys, and the servants followed the carriage with different items. This passage shows the scene of the special envoy traveling on the orders of the king. Surrounded by lush vegetation, deep valleys and gurgling mountain streams, the description of the environment shows the hard work of the envoys in running for state affairs. The fourth paragraph: In the long dike, the three people standing on the slope dike have almost the same appearance, which seems to show the plants of the three brothers looking at the water. There are still three plants in the water, which grow randomly or are trees on the long beach. Feudal society pays attention to filial piety, that is, brotherhood. This is the meaning of this poem and this painting. The poem "Long Beach" says: "When brothers get married, they are harmonious and cheerful. One son and one family are Le Er's wife's money. ..... "The ancients called" ruling the country with the family ".Only when brothers live in harmony can they be married, so it is the premise of governing the country.
The fifth stage: logging. At this stage, the mountains are high and the grass is deep, and the trees are lush. In the valley, two men were chopping under a shorter tree with axes. Both of them focused their eyes on a perched bird in the tree to stick to the theme of "coming from the valley and going to the tree". This painting is relatively plain, but the extended meaning in the poem is not expressed.
The sixth paragraph: Tianbao Map depicts mountains and rivers, Qiao Song is beautiful, the blue sea is rippling, Xiangyun is blushing, the red sun rises above the water, and the bright moon is hidden among the peaks, which is dazzling. At the end of the poem, there is a cloud: "Li Min and Qun De are like the constancy of the moon, the rising of the sun, the longevity of Nanshan and the prosperity of pine and cypress." This poem expresses the divine right of kingship, that mountains and rivers will not wither like pines and cypresses, that Nanshan will not collapse, and that the sun and the moon will last forever, so as to pray that mountains and rivers will last forever. The word "horizontal" in the poem recorded in this paragraph is missing the last two horizontal lines to avoid the taboo of harmony.
Paragraph 7: Cai Wei, this paragraph shows a group of horses and chariots running to the right in the forest. All the horses driving are wearing armor. Flags fluttered in the wind, and the sound of hooves broke the peace in the mountains. There are only seven people and eight horses on the screen, but the flag raised at the top of the hillside gives people the feeling that thousands of troops will follow. In the poem, it is repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers guarding the border are far from their homes because of the unstable border crossing, and they are hungry and cold, encouraging them to contribute to the country, resist foreign invasion and serve the king. This is also of great practical significance in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The eighth paragraph: getting off the bus describes the scene of the king's soldiers returning from the suburbs to comfort the border. A poem wrote, "I got out of the car and grazed there." I'm from the son of heaven. " On the picture, five horses are riding on the left, with neat armor, dense swords and flags flying. This painting is dominated by figures, chariots and horses, with only a few miscellaneous trees dotted in the corner, and the hills in the distance are looming.
Paragraph 9: Du Tu painted a small house looming in the forest. A woman on the path looked out with a basket and prayed for her husband who had not returned after the deadline. In the distance, the flag on the top of the mountain is looming, suggesting that the recruiter will return it.
Paragraph 10: Fish Li This paragraph describes two people rowing a boat in the pond, carrying fish on their shoulders, and coming to the shore. Two people on the shore were pointing and talking. This passage is intended to show that after political stability, things enrich the people and strengthen them, but "it begins with worry and ends with happiness", so it is necessary to always carry political thoughts, which has certain admonishing significance for the rulers' governance.
Ma grasped a certain detail in the original poem, exerted his subjective imagination, and drew 300 illustrations of The Book of Songs in an easy-to-understand painting language, which is a huge project in painting creation.
Ma's The Book of Songs has gone through two dynasties: He Xiaozong. According to "Preparation for Painting", "Gao Zong tried to write 300 Mao poems, but he died before he finished it." Later, Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, but he still made up the picture. What is Luming Literature is recorded in Painting Theory, which shows that it was created by Gao Zongchao. However, Ma's "Book of Songs" appeared in the form of manuscripts and imitations shortly after its publication, and it has been circulated to this day for about 16 volumes, with different styles and different levels, which are obviously divided into original, imitation and imitation. This scene is a scroll, and the picture is simple and smooth, which is a typical "grasshopper painting" of horses. Calligraphy is dignified and elegant, which is a high-level Gaozong calligraphy style. Calligraphy and painting are authentic, which is a rare Zhao group painting. The Wind Map written by Ma in the Southern Song Dynasty is a silk book with a length of 25.7 cm and a width of 55.7 cm.
The author is based on the poetry and national style of The Book of Songs. The whole volume is divided into seven sections, namely, July, Hao, Dongshan, Broken Axe, 1997, and Wolf Postscript. There is an original "Wind" before each section. The figures in the painting are lifelike, the clothes lines are depicted by orchid leaves, the brushwork is smooth and natural, and the colors are beautiful and quaint. It is also a masterpiece of all Mao's poems. This volume is unprinted, and the old biography is a painting and a book of horses. But the word "structure" is missing in the article "Wako", such as "?" It shows that this book was not written by Zhao Gou, but was written by a master of the Academy of Painting. This picture was divided into two volumes in the early Yuan Dynasty. Only the broken axe was collected by Zhao Mengfu, and Dong Qichang mistakenly thought it was a supplementary picture of Zhao Mengfu in the late Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, the two men got involved in internal affairs and merged into one volume. The postscript of Dong Qichang and Gao Shiqi moved to the back. At the beginning, there is the word "Feng" in the Qing Imperial Book. At the end of the article, besides the inscriptions by Dong Qichang and Xiang, there are also the Imperial Books of Qing, Gao Shiqi, Liang Qingbiao, Ganlong, Jiaqing and Xuan Tong Neifu.
Zhang Chou's "He Qing Square", Bian Yongyu's "Style Ancient Hall Calligraphy and Painting Collection", Wu Sheng's "Grand View Record", the sequel of Baodi in Shiqu, and Shiqu essays are all recorded. The Book of Songs and Poems of Nanshan handed down by Ma in the Southern Song Dynasty is a silk copy, 26.2 cm long and 857.6 cm wide.
The theme of ten articles such as "Jienan Mountain" in The Book of Songs Xiaoya is depicted as a picture. The original texts of the Book of Songs before each paragraph are Jienan Mountain, the first month, the turn of October, No Rain, Xiao Min, Xiaowan and Xiao Ye. There is no seal on the calligraphy and painting, and the old biography was painted by Ma. Ma is a comprehensive painter who combines landscapes, figures, flowers and birds. The lines of figure painting have absorbed the fluent features of Tang and Wu Daozi. It is a typical orchid leaf painting method with loose lines, giving people a feeling of elegance and agility.
As a Confucian classic, The Book of Songs has always been respected by feudal rulers. This volume visualizes the content of the poem in the form of pictures to promote Confucian ethics.
