Frog Out of Shili Mountain Spring is an ink painting by the famous Chinese painter Qi Baishi for the writer Lao She in 195 1. There are no frogs in the picture, only a few lively tadpoles are swimming happily in the rushing water.
And this frog sound is not immediately "audible". It is a wonderful idea to use this special association skill. Paper ink painting, vertical 129 cm, horizontal 34 cm.
Frog sound ten miles away from the mountain spring was written in 195 1 and has been included in the complete works of Qi Baishi. There have been many comments on this in the past, but most of them are looking for reasons and arguments from the relationship between painting and painting.
Some people compare this work with the examination questions of the Song Dynasty Painting Academy, and such comments are common in literati anecdotes, so it is difficult to really find the artistic essence of this masterpiece.
Poetry and painting is a fine tradition of Chinese painting, and predecessors have made great achievements by using this method. Poetry and painting are hard to come by. In Qi Baishi's Frog Rings Ten Miles Out of the Mountain Spring, the poetic tenor kisses the chisel, which is full of rich artistic charm.
There is a poem that says that frogs come ten miles out of the mountain spring: fireflies grow grass along the coast, and frogs come ten miles out of the mountain spring. New poetry may not be able to reconcile customs, and it rarely explains things.
Mr. Lao She wrote this letter with two kinds of pens, two colors, one with a brush and the other with a red ink pen. This confused contrast between "a frog rings ten miles out of a mountain spring" and "a dead tree in west Western jackdaw" gives the best hint of the value of this letter and becomes the key to a big mystery.
Regardless of whether Qi Baishi's paintings are based on Cha Chubai's poem "Frogs from a Mountain Spring Ten Miles Away" or Zhao Qiugu's poem "Lights Are Dim and More Suitable for Autumn", the basic ideas are provided by Mr. Lao She. The former is "fighting four or five times, swaying with the water; There are no frogs, but you can hear frogs. The latter is "Yi Deng blowing obliquely, and a yellow leaf floats on it, which is autumn. "
It used to be a popular saying that after receiving the poems sent by Mr. Lao She, the old man Qi Baishi pondered for three days and nights, and finally drew two masterpieces beyond the level, thus reaching a new realm. Now this statement needs to be revised slightly.
It was Mr. Lao She who provided a general framework for Qi Baishi's composition, and then Qi Baishi spent three days and three nights thinking about how to realize Mr. Lao She's idea, that is, to turn it into a concrete picture.
It's a bit like Mr. Lao She writing the script, and Mr. Qi Baishi directing the acting, and finally turning the script into a living drama. The division of labor between them is: Lao She gives a topic, gives a composition plan and sets the tone; Qi Baishi implemented and created fine arts.
