In painting, this idiom refers to Wen Tong, a painter who is famous for painting bamboo in Song Dynasty. He had a complete idea before he put pen to paper, which is used to describe that he had a complete plan before he did something. "The Rabbit Begins to Fall" describes that when he is painting, in order to capture the image (later referred to as writing), he writes very fast. "Great achievement in painting" means that he should start from the main place. "Two-pronged approach" originally meant that Zhang Caoneng, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, was able to do things. It is also a metaphor for two things going on at the same time. "handy" means skilled. "Poetry in painting" means that Wang Wei's paintings in Tang Dynasty are full of poetry. "Holding the clouds and holding the moon" means painting (later also referring to composition) is painting while touching. "Finished painting" refers to the key pen and ink in painting (later also refers to writing). In addition, there are "gilding the lily" and "painting tigers and dogs".
Idioms are also inextricably linked with music culture. The ancient music law of China is very subtle, with the saying of "five tones" and "six tones". "Five tones" refers to the symbol of a feather in the corner of the palace merchant, similar to 123456 in the annotation. The idiom "tone-deaf" means that people don't understand music at all. "Changing one's palace to change one's feathers" means changing one's fun. It also means that the content of things has changed. "China Merchants Carving Feathers" means mastering strict musical rules. "Law" originally refers to twelve musical instruments of different lengths, which are used to set the standard tone. Huang Zhong and Lu Da are the first two kinds of laws. The idiom "Huang Zhong and Lu Da" describes the beauty, solemnity and subtlety of music or words. "Huang Zhongmiao" means that talents are not appointed.
From idioms such as "playing the flute", "playing the flute", "playing the golden stone and stringed instrument", "the piano is not tuned", "bells and drums chime", "Qin Zheng beckons the instrument" and "Shengqingtong", we can know that ancient musical instruments in China include plucked instruments such as "Qin" and "Se". There are percussion instruments such as bell, drum, gold, stone and blue, idioms such as Yellow Land, a piece of court merchants, a merchant's mouth sign, a China Merchants' carving of feathers, a palace corner smile, a change of merchants' feathers, and a five-tone and six-tone record of the unique music theory in ancient China. Chun Xue and Xialiba recorded ancient music tracks, Great Voices, Voices Beyond the Strings, Elegant Rhyme at the End of the Melody and Voices Around the Girders reflected the ancient people's pursuit of the musical realm, and Voices of Righteousness, Voices of Beginning and Voices of Decadence reflected the ancient people's understanding and division of musical styles. Plucking and tuning the strings, playing the silk and beating the bamboo, beating the gongs and drums show different ways of playing different musical instruments, while plucking up the courage to play the piano, singing the summer strings in spring, breaking the bamboo strings on the piano, and harmony between the piano and the instruments show the values nurtured by ancient China music.
There are also operas, dances, calligraphy, seal cutting and painting. And just like music, we can systematically and completely understand their basic characteristics from idioms. In addition, there are idioms such as "playing the harp with a plastic column", "teasing others", "the room is like a ceiling", "copper lining iron plate", "grabbing the strings" and "mourning", which will not be introduced here. As for "one board with three eyes" (also called "one board with three eyes"), it refers to the rhythm of traditional Chinese opera music after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This idiom means that words and deeds are orderly and sometimes things are rigid. Huangzhong is an ancient percussion instrument in China, which was mostly used in temples. Therefore, the idiom "Huang Zhong Wa Hu" refers to literary works with high or low artistry, and "Huang Zhong is destroyed and abandoned"
Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush. It is a special art gradually formed under the long-term application and development of calligraphers' aesthetics. Calligraphy is one of the excellent traditional cultures of the Chinese nation, which not only has the practical value of language and writing, but also has the value of artistic appreciation. Many idioms in Chinese reflect the art of calligraphy, or symbolize style or style, or judge. For example, flying while flying, sword running, iron painting silver hook, with yellow at the beginning.
In addition, for example, the idiom "step by step" means that when writing an article, the structure is properly arranged and the words and sentences are in line with the norms; "A thousand miles long" refers to a painting or a poem, which is short in length, but extremely rich in content and far-reaching in artistic conception; "Holding clouds and the moon" originally refers to a technique of rendering clouds to set off the moon in painting, and later refers to a method of expression in which painting or composition touches or depicts from the side, thus highlighting the subject or theme. "Suburban thinness" is a generalization of a certain artistic conception and style of poetry, and "Parallel four wives and six concubines" refers to the double parallelism of four-character or six-character sentences prevailing in the Six Dynasties. "One word and one bead" is a metaphor for the clarity, tactfulness and roundness of singing and the essence of poetry writing. "Luan Pu Feng Bo" describes the brushwork of calligraphy. The words "tight" and "transparent wood" describe the forceful and vigorous calligraphy with profound skill.
