An anecdote about "Ancient Temple in the Deep Mountain"
Evonne, Emperor of Hui Zong in Song Dynasty, loved painting and calligraphy, and often gave questions to test painters. Once in an exam, the examiner gave the title "Ancient Temple Hidden in the Mountains". It is not easy to draw this topic well. Some painters painted an ancient temple on the hillside, while others painted it deep in the jungle. Some temples are completely painted, while others only paint a corner of the temple or a broken wall of the temple. The examiner looked at many pictures in a row, but they were not satisfied. Just when he was disappointed, a painting attracted him deeply. He read it carefully again, nodding and praising: "Good, good, this is the first choice!" " (the chief candidate, that is, the first place. )
Where is that painting? The good thing is that it is clever. That brilliant painter didn't draw a temple at all, but a clear spring flowing down from the mountain, jumping beads and splashing jade. There was an elderly monk by the spring, who scooped up the spring water one by one and poured it into the bucket. Such a monk carrying water made the topic of "ancient temples hidden in the mountains" very subtle and profound. Monks carry water, of course, to cook tea and wash shirts, which makes people think that there must be a temple nearby; The monk is old, so he has to carry water by himself. It is conceivable that the temple is a dilapidated old temple. The temple must be in the deep mountains, but it can't be seen on the map. It says "Tibet". This painting is more in line with the theme of "hiding ancient temples in the mountains" than those painting a corner of a temple or a wall of a temple.
None of the unsuccessful painters painted badly. If they are not good, they are not qualified to take the exam at all. The reason why they lost the election was that their ideas were mediocre. The outstanding skill of a clever painter is not painting technique, but because he has a clever idea, chooses the angle of the old monk to carry water, and the picture is implicit, which can stimulate others' association. For composition, it is very important to carefully examine the topic, choose a novel expression angle and skillfully conceive.
