The floating world is just a dream.

When it comes to ukiyo-e painting, my first impression in my mind is erotic painting, but the real ukiyo-e painting is a painting depicting folk natural scenery and secular life.

In Japan, printmaking is called "painting" and hand-painted painting is called "painting", so ukiyo-e painting is actually a printmaking, which was printed by the sculptor after the painter finished painting. But every ukiyo-e painting is named after the painter, and the sculptor and rubbings don't know who it is. Just like a successful movie, everyone knows who the director is, but they don't know who is behind the photo editing. The development of ukiyo-e painting is also inseparable from the development of pigments and techniques at that time. From the application of plant pigments to the lasting red and blue spread from Europe to Japan, the color of ukiyo-e painting is richer, just as the development of artificial intelligence is inseparable from the progress of hardware such as chips.

I have seen a movie "Hyun: Daughter of Beizhai" before. Beizhai refers to the northwest village of Keke. I may not have heard his name, but I must have seen his painting Surfing in Kanagawa. The talons are very special. This film tells the life of Xiaoxibei Zhai's daughter, who has never been recognized by her father and is called a master painter who uses shadows. The film also describes the painting madman who has been painting for 70 years. At the age of 90, he shouted, "Give me 10 more years, oh no, five years before I can be called a real painter." This is completely different from another famous ukiyo-e painter, Guangzhong Gechuan. His paintings are a little sad. Finally, he converted to Buddhism at the age of 60 and stayed out of the world. They are also very much like saints who have experienced the floating world, and each has its own way home.

Ukiyo-e painting, which means "the plan of empty world", is different from the worried world of pure land. Ukiyo-e painting is just a dream, so why take it so seriously. Let's turn the beautiful moments in front of us into eternal memories. Japanese culture is full of "mourning", revealing some imperfections, but it feels just right, just like many people say why Japanese male and female stars are ugly, because the standard for choosing stars in Japan is not to have a delicate face, but to have some small flaws. Ukiyo-e always gives people faint, smooth lines and just the right feeling. Although the Japanese advocate mourning for things, they also go deep into nature and blend in with it. After all, no work of art can have its own meaning independently of other things. If manufacturing is to make people own something, then art is to make things beautiful and make people use it better.

The Japanese nation really integrates the advantages of other cultures to the fullest. It has been influenced by China's traditional culture since ancient times, and absorbed the advantages of western culture in modern times, which not only retains the essence of traditional culture, but also integrates the innovation of advanced culture. Why Japanese culture can influence the whole world, many foreigners are full of praise for Japanese design, and the book Ukiyo-e is also analyzed. China's traditional painting pays attention to artistic conception and leaves blank space, which is completely different from western painting's depiction of landscape figures with shadow perspective, while Japanese ukiyo-e painting has both the traditional artistic conception of China and the amorous feelings of natural landscape figures. Be willing to learn, take its essence and discard its dross, so as to make continuous progress and surpass others.

Please eat, drink and be merry all your life. Life is really fleeting, and happiness is only for yourself.
