Tang Yin's ancestor was Tang Hui, a former Lingjiang general in Jinchang County, Liangzhou, which also directly influenced Tang Yin. He also often uses "Jinchang Tang Yin" in his calligraphy and painting titles. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, his ancestor Tang Jian fought with Li Yuan and was named "Jugong", so Tang Yin also called himself "Lu Tang Sheng".
Extended data
Tang Yin seldom indicates the year when he paints, and his painting style changes irregularly, so it is difficult to infer the time when he painted, and it is also difficult to divide the changing process of his painting style by time. As far as subject matter is concerned, Tang Yin's paintings mainly include landscape painting, figure painting, flower-and-bird painting and so on.
On the one hand, Tang Yin's artistic achievement lies in breaking the stereotype, accepting both the North-South School of Painting, the Southern Song Dynasty Academy Painting and the Yuan Dynasty literati landscape painting, mainly learning the Southern Song Dynasty and Liu Songnian Academy Painting School, and learning the rigorous and vigorous painting style of the Song Dynasty.
At the same time, he participated in Xia Gui's composition and pen and ink techniques, extensively dabbled in Li Cheng, Fan Kuan, Guo He, Huang and Wang Meng in the Northern Song Dynasty, and gradually formed his own style. The layout of the picture is rigorous and orderly, the shape is real and vivid, the mountains are majestic, the rocks are steep, the axe is chopped, the brushwork is vigorous, and the pen and ink are dripping.
