195 1 Lao She chose four poems by Su and asked the old man Qi to draw them. The old man beautifully finished four paintings, which were mounted and hung on the west wall of the living room, full of brightness.
Encouraged by this, Mr. Lao She found four poems that were difficult to express and asked the old man for paintings. The most difficult thing is Chu Bai's "Frogs ring ten miles out of the mountain spring" and Zhao Qiugu's "Lights are more suitable for autumn". Cha Chubai was a scholar in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. He was edited by imperial academy and wrote thousands of poems. He is known as the "first person" after Bai Juyi and Lu You.
After the old man Qi Baishi got the letter, he created two masterpieces beyond the level. Among them, for "frogs croak ten miles out of the mountain spring", he drew a mountain stream on both sides of the paper with heavy ink. The swift mountain spring flows in the mountain stream, and six little tadpoles swim around in the water. Two green distant mountains are lit with azurite, and mother frog is there. Her voice reached ten miles away and reached this end of the mountain stream.
After the painting was hung in Mr. Lao She's living room, the news immediately spread in all directions, causing a sensation and becoming a major event in China's literary world. This is about the autumn of 195 1 year.
At that time, it was said that the old man thought hard for three days and nights after getting the proposition, and finally found inspiration and completed this masterpiece with wonderful creativity. When asked by friends, Mr. Lao She himself said so, always praising the old man's intelligence and creative level, calling him a world-class artist, 9 1 year old!
This painting is often hung on the western wall of Lao She's living room and is appreciated by many friends in the literary and art circles.
Extended data
Frog Out of Ten Li Springs is an important work of Qi Baishi, who used superb skills to show a wonderful painting in which both vision and hearing are enjoyed.
There are no frogs, only tadpoles, which makes people think that tadpoles have grown into frogs. This painting spans from a simple two-dimensional space to a four-dimensional space, and tadpoles grow into frogs, which is a qualitative change.
Qi Baishi created such a beautiful artistic conception with the cultivation of poets, the genius of painters and the temperament of literati. The combination of poetry and painting accurately expressed the connotation of poetry and reached the high realm of Chinese painting "there are paintings in poetry and poems in painting".
Qi Baishi has made great achievements in poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing. His accomplishments in painting stem from his comprehensive artistic accomplishment and his unique observation and feelings about life.
Qi Baishi left tens of thousands of works in his life, among which flowers and animals are the most popular. Those swimming shrimps, rampant crabs, jumping frogs, furry chickens and stumbling buffaloes are deeply familiar and loved by people. The reason why his works move people is mainly the emotion contained in the image-full of poetry and love for life, which can give people a lot of inspiration.
Qi Baishi attaches great importance to sketching, and often observes the object repeatedly, mastering its life rules before painting. However, he opposed formality and advocated that painting should have both form and spirit. His understanding of the relationship between form and spirit is that "beauty lies in similarity and dissimilarity" and that "it is too similar to kitsch to deceive the world" is not desirable.
For example, the shrimp he painted is transparent, swimming, swimming and jumping, but if compared with the real shrimp, we can see that the details such as the head, whiskers and feet of the shrimp have been refined and selected by the painter. According to his long-term observation and requirements for beauty, the painter turned the shrimp in life into an artistic image and never left the characteristics of the object. However, due to the painter's exaggeration and choice, the viewer's vivid impression of shrimp is even stronger. It is "between similarity and difference", which gives people the enjoyment of beauty and induces and inspires people's love for life.
Qi Baishi highly respects the artistic creation of his predecessors, and often expresses his admiration for Xu Wei, Shi Tao, Ba Da, Wu Changshuo and others in his own poems, but he never imitates or follows the artistic characteristics of others, thinking that doing so is an act of stealing in artistic creation. He also opposes others imitating his works. He warned, "People who learn from me live and die like me."
Qi Baishi took art very seriously all his life. Whether studying painting, managing printing or writing poetry, he works hard and never plays tricks. He often puts such seals on his paintings: "Heaven is useless" and "Know how to be diligent".
