Ma Liang's photography skills

The prototype of "a good horse" is Wu Daozi, a famous great painter in the history of China. Wu Daozi is known as the "sage of painting", and according to the Book of Painting and Calligraphy and the records of famous paintings of past dynasties, there are many disciples of Wu Daozi, among whom Lu Lengjia, Li Sheng, Zhang Zang, Qiu Han, Zhu Yao and Zhai Yan are famous. Wu Daozi's paintings enjoy a high reputation not only in China, but also all over the world.

Wu Daozi lived in the Tang Dynasty. He is not only an artist, but also a loyal Taoist believer. At that time, people called him Wu Zhenren. Wu Daozi was not good at painting in his early years, but mainly studied calligraphy. I studied under Zhang Xu, who practiced calligraphy, and then turned to painting. Wu Daozi, who entered the field of painting, seemed to have discovered a new continent, and soon became a brilliant and famous painter. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was also called into the palace to paint for the royal family. He is good at painting ghosts and gods, figures, landscapes, birds and animals, pavilions and plants, especially religious figures, and is also good at mural creation.

There is a legend in an ancient book: When Wu Daozi was young, he visited a gentleman one day, but the gentleman treated him badly and he was very angry. Wu Daozi took out pen and ink and drew a donkey on the wall of the house. At night, the donkey he painted turned into a real donkey, which made the gentry's house in a mess. Knowing that Wu Daozi painted the donkey, the gentry begged him to clean the picture on the wall.

The donkey in the picture becomes real, although it looks like a head.

A magical legend truly embodies the superb skills of Wu Daozi's painting, so people are full of praise for his vivid brushwork. Thousands of years later, Wu Daozi's vivid painting skills were shaped into the image of Ma Liang, which continued the brilliance of China's humanities and arts, and was sublimated through Ma Liang's punishing evil and promoting good.
