Heaven and earth live side by side with me, and everything is one with me. To appreciate nature is to discover oneself.

In the historical Chinese paintings, there are various mysterious and strange stones, which make people full of endless reveries.

Historically, mountains and rocks have been exploited and developed by people and used as decoration in the courtyard, making the originally monotonous courtyard lively. 

 


The number of natural stones such as the sands of the Ganges River cannot be measured, but throughout the ages, only the Chinese loved and understood stones best. Ancient private royal gardens, princes and nobles, and scholars all regarded having a good stone as elegant. 

The stones that interlocked with each other seemed to them an infinite world that was constantly changing.  In the past, the elites and sages cherished their thoughts and thoughts in the boxing stone.   

The body in "Zhuangzi•The World" is incomplete and detached from the world, and the viewer can taste the beauty of innocence and innocence, appreciate the life philosophy of being clumsy and reckless, and free the mind that pays attention to aesthetics from the fetters of the world.  

With such a concept to care for the stone, it is not difficult for us to understand the sentence of the Qing Dynasty literary theorist Liu Xizai who pointed out in the "Art Overview" that "the ugliness of a strange stone is beautiful, and the extreme ugliness is the extreme beauty".   

 

Niu Sengru, who lived as the respected aspect in the Tang Dynasty, was a person who loved collecting Taihu stones. 

Bai Juyi called him "when he rests, he stays with the stone", and even "to treat him like a friend and a friend, a close friend like a sage, and a precious stone.  To the extent that love is like a child and grandchild, one can see the depth of his love for the stone. 

Modern people who are accustomed to the fast pace of the city are more eager for a lively and calm life.  Fusheng steals for half a day, hides in the small room, sips tea, and paired it with the simple and elegant classical stone appreciation. It is so pleasant to feel the beauty of the stone.


There is no stone in the room, and no stone in the house.  The Chinese stone appreciation culture has a long history. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Shi Ping has been published. In the Tang Dynasty, there was "Tahu Shi Ji" by Bai Juyi, and the Song Dynasty also has a rich and detailed description in the "Yunlin Shi Pu".  

The culture of appreciating stone in Ming and Qing dynasties developed to its heyday. Many works such as Yuanye, Qunfang Pu, and Xianqing Ou Ji discussed in detail about appreciating stone.  

There are also many famous artists who have collected, appreciated and painted stones in the past. Let’s look at the classic painted stones of the past masters today!

Mi Fu Appreciating the Stone

In the chinese painting above, the man in red, pointing at the tall and weird stone in front of him, looked very surprised!

This huge rock is slightly tilted, and looking at him as if he will fall down at any time, it is shocking!The servants around him are also talking about this strange giant rock.

Friends, what do you think of this strange stone?  Give full play to your imagination! Leave your thoughts in the comment area!

 

Snow bamboo, now in the Shanghai Museum

Xu Xi (886-975 AD),The work I painted in between is mainly the green bamboo scene in the snow. The name of the chinese painting does not mention the word stone, but it is obviously very beautiful and strange against the snow-covered stone and green bamboo.  

The stone in the chinese painting occupies a small proportion in the painting, but it is precisely because the snow is covered with snow that the white stone looks dazzling in the painting, oh as if a little snowman is piled up at the feet of relatives, giving the whole painting the finishing touch.  Effect.

 

The Song Dynasty was the peak period of ancient Chinese stone appreciation culture. Song Huizong loved stone so much that he became the country's largest stone collector.  

Due to the emperor’s advocacy, high-ranking officials, nobles, gentlemen, merchants, and gentry rushed to follow suit.  So the ruling and the people went up and down to search for strange stones for appreciation, which once became the fashion of the Song Dynasty.  

During this period, not only masters of stone appreciation such as Mi Fu and Su Shi, but also literary and political celebrities such as Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, and Wang Anshi all became influential active participants in the collection, evaluation and appreciation of strange stones at that time.

Zhao Ji (Song Huizong, June 7, 1082-June 4, 1135) the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty
 

The emperor's Chinese paintings are very delicate, and the details of the stones are fully displayed, which shows that the emperor's calligraphy and painting are very careful and meticulous.

To be honest, after seeing the strange stone painted by the emperor, my first impression of this Chinese painting was a big bird. 

Oh, I don’t mind if you guys laugh at me like this, but you can also give full play to it.  With your imagination, what do you think this Chinese painting looks more like in your eyes?  Then you can leave your thoughts in the comment area. 

 


Mi Fu Painting Stone

Hey, don’t say this looks a bit like the Wuzhishan in China’s Journey to the West .

The great calligrapher and painter of the Song Dynasty, Mi Fu, is the most famous stone idiot in ancient and modern times. He behaved madly, known as "Mi Dian". 

He was fascinated by playing with stones. The most famous is the story of "Mi Fu worshiping stone".  

Song Dynasty Ye Mengde’s "Swallows of the Stone Forest" records that Mi Fu first entered the prefecture, and when he saw a strange stone, he "called a brother" and worshipped nine times when he saw a strange stone.  

Moreover, in Xiangshi, he also created a set of theoretical principles, that is, the four-character tactics of "thin, transparent, leaking, and wrinkle" that have been used for a long time in later generations.

 

Stones in Zhao Chang's Chinese Painting, 960 AD

The Northern Song Dynasty court flower and bird painter Zhao Chang's "Sui Dynasty Picture" depicts plum blossoms, daffodils, camellia, periwinkle and lake stones.  

Different from other famous works of the same subject, it does not leave blank, and every corner of the picture is crowded, with natural vitality like fire.  The rich colors and the compelling composition create a beautiful and joyful atmosphere.

The strange stone in this Chinese painting looks more like a black sheep. In this work, the plum blossom, camellia, narcissus and periwinkle are painted with cinnabar, white powder, rouge, and stone green, and then filled with azurite, the colors are bright and magnificent.  

Its composition is special, with lake rocks and densely interlaced flowers covering the whole picture, leaving no space, neat and serious, with a very decorative effect.


Zhao Mengfu was one of the famous stone admirers at that time. Many calligraphy and paintings in Yuan Dynasty, including the four schools of the Yuan Dynasty, had classic stone admiring themes.

Zhao Mengfu is a master of calligraphy, but Zhao Mengfu's achievements are not only above calligraphy, his paintings, or calligraphy and painting, are also unique.  

In ancient times, people's appreciation of painting was not limited to painting itself, but a combination of calligraphy and painting. Therefore, many painters were also masters of calligraphy, and Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy and painting were also unique.

Zhao Mengfu's paintings have the meaning of connecting the past and the future. He inherits the advantages of the predecessors, absorbs the essence of the art of the predecessors, and at the same time has a great inspiration for the paintings of the later generations.

For the study of the history of Chinese painting, Zhao Mengfu is the one who will never get around.  The Yuan Dynasty was an important transitional period in China. 

This was not only in terms of political, economic and social development, but also a transitional period of culture, especially calligraphy and painting.  Zhao Mengfu was a great figure in the transitional period of painting in the early Yuan Dynasty. 

It was he who promoted the changes in painting and provided the direction for the changes in later generations.

 


If pen and ink are just techniques,   Skills can always be mastered.   But Ni Zan’s composition is the simplest, and his brushwork is the simplest.   Why hasn't anyone learned alike for six to seven hundred years?

It is said that   Ni Zan’s courtyard is very clean.   Every day, the servants in his family kept cleaning and taking care of it, so the rockery in the yard was basically spotless. Even the sycamore trees planted in the yard, from bark to leaves, had to be wiped every day, looking as clean as new. 

Good plane tree,   I was tortured by bathing all day,   Therefore, his family's phoenix tree has not been able to support it all the time!

Even the strange rocks in his courtyard are required to be cleaned by the servants every day.

 

 

Wang Meng Paint stone
 To be honest, this Chinese painting looks even stranger. Why is it that only the stone is the most obvious in the whole Chinese painting, and the leaves behind it are almost invisible if you don't look closely?

Wang Meng.  He was particularly good at painting landscapes, and won his grandfather Zhao Meng's dignity, and he became his own face with Dong Yuan and Juran as his ancestors.  The work wins with the complexity, the layout of multiple mountains and rivers, and the interaction of dry and wet, sending the beauty and freshness in the thick and muddy.  

The moss is more burnt and the ink is thirsty, and it moves down, expressing the lush and vast atmosphere of the forest.  There are two commonly used methods, such as Jie Suo Zhu and Niu Mao Zhu. 

One is easy to use the curling pen like an earthworm, which is known for its use of pen to change and "complex"; the other is to use "light ink hook stone bone, pure  Rub it with burnt ink, so that there is no room in the stone, and then break it, and hope it will be very beautiful."  

In addition to the landscape, he is also capable of being a character.  His works had a great influence on Ming and Qing landscape paintings, second only to Huang Gongwang. Later generations called him the "Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty" together with Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen and Ni Zan.  

Dong Qichang once wrote an inscription in his work: "The prince can carry the power of the pen, and there has been no such monarch in five hundred years." In the "Painting History and Painting Essentials", it said: "Wang Meng's landscape master has to use ink."  And Yun Nantian even said that he was "Yuanzong Mojie (Wang Wei)". 

 

Wild bamboo

From the perspective of "Wild Bamboo Drawing", Wu Zhen not only inherited the bamboo painting theory of Wen Tong and Li D, but also made creative breakthroughs.  

Wu Zhen pays more attention to the non-realistic nature of bamboo painting, and highlights the mental state of bamboo.  

"Wild Bamboo" paints clear bamboo or wind bamboo with "leaves up and down". Similar works can be seen in Wu Zhen's collaboration with Wang Mian in "Plum and Bamboo Shuangqing" and "Duo Futu".  

In addition, Wu Zhen also pays attention to the resonance between the effect of the picture and the viewer, plus the deep meaning conveyed by the poem inscribed on the painting, presenting the supreme enjoyment of the literati paintings.
