Idioms and their stories
Gu Kaizhi in Jin Dynasty was outstanding in talent, profound in knowledge and outstanding in painting, which made him famous all over the world. Gu Kaizhi painted figures with vivid expressions and vivid images. What is unusual is that he never points his eyes first when drawing characters. Someone asked why, and he said: This is where the characters are vivid. One sentence tells the story, which makes people gasp in admiration. At that time, he was called a gifted scholar, a painter and an infatuation.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, another great painter named Zhang Sengyou appeared in the Liang Dynasty. He was good at painting landscapes, figures and Buddha statues, and was very famous at that time. Liang Wudi built many temples and pagodas and asked him to paint.
It is said that once he drew four dragons on the wall of a temple, but he didn't give them eyes. When someone asked him why he didn't nod his eyes, he said, "I'm afraid if you nod your eyes, these dragons will break through the wall and fly away." They didn't believe him, so he ordered two. Sure enough, he broke the wall and flew away. Although this legend is exaggerated to the point of absurdity, it shows that his painting skills are superb.
In the Tang Dynasty, a relatively successful painter, Wu Daozi, combined painting with calligraphy. His landscapes and Buddhist paintings were very famous at that time, and his writing style was also good, so he was known as a book saint. According to legend, he painted a huge picture of Jialing River for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and actually painted hundreds of miles of landscape in one day.
He painted a picture of hell in disguise in Jingxuan Temple, without drawing ghosts, which was eerie. It is said that many people have turned over a new leaf after seeing this picture, abandoning evil and doing good. Therefore, when commenting on these three painters, some people later thought that Gu Kaizhi's painting achievements surpassed those of his predecessors, while Zhang Sengyou's painting achievements were beyond the reach of future generations, while Wu Daozi had both.
