The Beauty of the Bridge (original)

Content Analysis of The Beauty of the Bridge This text discusses the aesthetic effect of the bridge in different environments with the painter's standards and vision. Artists have a unique perspective. Next, I will bring you the relevant contents of the original text of Beauty of the Bridge.

"The bridge I have walked is longer than the road you have walked". Now, probably few people teach little boys in this tone! Naturally, you have to cross countless bridges in your life. Apart from the engineers who build bridges, I'm afraid painters have seen the most bridges.

Most artists like bridges, and I always look for them everywhere. How beautiful this bridge is! "Running Water on a Bridge" is of course poetic, but in fact it is more inclined to the formal beauty of painting: people-houses, which are blocks; Running water, it is a long line and a curve, and the line and the block form a relatively beautiful; Bridges intersect with flowing water, and their forms are more varied, which is also the medium between lines and surfaces. It is a bridge to communicate the morphological changes between lines and surfaces! If the stone bridge in Jiangnan water town or Venice is torn down, although the green water still bypasses others, it completely destroys the structural beauty and formal beauty in the eyes of the painter.

The structure of the stone arch bridge itself is very beautiful: round bridge opening, square stone, curved bridge back, square and circle get along harmoniously and appropriately, and the laws of mechanics often coincide with the laws of aesthetics. However, my love for the bridge is not focused on appreciating it as a large-scale handicraft, nor on its development since Li Chun's Zhao Zhouqiao, but on its various forms and functions in different environments.

Wuzhen, Mao Dun's hometown, has dense reeds on both sides of the river. The strong arc of arch bridge or the simple straight line of square bridge are in sharp contrast with reeds. In the early spring weather, slender willows are floating at the head of the stone bridge in the south of the Yangtze River, and the slender hairspring blows the hard stone on the bridge, which makes the painter ecstatic even if he can't touch the breeze and the waning moon. People cherish the beauty of this long bridge. The fake Lugou Bridge in the Summer Palace has only 17 holes, and baodai bridge in Suzhou has 53 holes. Take a slow look by boat, and you will feel as satisfied as reading an epic. Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces and mountainous areas often encounter wind and rain bridges. The bridge deck is covered with cloisters and pavilions to shelter from the rain, which is an ideal location for embellishing characters in ancient landscape paintings. Because most of the bridges are rapids, people always stop here to enjoy waterfalls and flowing springs, and painters and photographers are bound to fight here.

Zhang Zeduan regards this bridge as the climax of the picture scroll of Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. Because the bridge is under the bridge, pedestrians and ships are bound to present a lively scene, and the strong life sentiment of the streets on both sides of the strait is also connected by the bridge to form a concentrated picture. The development of contradiction leads to the climax of drama, and the overlapping and interlacing of images constitute a rich picture. Bridges usually serve to overlap and stagger images. No wonder bridges are often encountered in paintings and photographs. They look for the bridge just as children look for excitement. Between mountains and canyons, traffic depends on iron cable bridge and bamboo cable bridge. I have painted many cable bridges in Tibet, Xishuangbanna, Sichuan and other places, which are humanitarian cable bridges. In the eyes of the painter, the cable bridge is a line, an elastic line! It's hard to say what vitality an isolated line has. It is the precipitous environment that breeds the life of the bridge, and it is the various lines of rocks, trees and rapids that make the cable bridge obtain the line effect with unique vitality.

Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is also a straight line from a distance. Is it beautiful? Is the straight line more in line with the new aesthetic? It is not appropriate to ask questions in general, nor can you answer them in general. In the treatment of art forms, it is often a small loss. In order to draw the Yangtze River Bridge, I climbed the Lion Mountain in Nanjing, just to find the points, lines and surfaces that set off, echo and extend the straight line of the bridge! In order to draw the Qiantang River Bridge, I climbed the hillside behind Pagoda of Six Harmonies twice, but I couldn't handle the relationship between the huge Pagoda of Six Harmonies and the Long Bridge, so I couldn't draw it. Although there are many weeping willows and peach blossoms all over the mountain, how can the color of the powder affect the beauty of the structure! On Cheng Kun Road, there are many straight bridges. The train keeps crossing the bridge, entering the hole, leaving the hole and crossing the bridge, almost bridge to hole and hole to bridge. Every time we cross the circular valley, we look forward and backward. Many bridges always cut steep slopes in a straight line, sometimes they look dangerous and beautiful, and sometimes they are dangerous and unattractive. Beauty and danger are not the same thing

Photographers and painters continue to explore the beauty of bridges. Small bridges have their own beauty. Someone painted the Magpie Bridge, which is not only meaningful, but also free and lively in form. Any image that plays a key role in composition and connection actually has the beauty of a bridge!

3. Summary

Beauty of the Bridge is an explanatory article. Its illustrative embodiment lies in pointing out the beauty of the bridge in the eyes of the painter, and then giving some concrete examples. However, unlike the normative expository article "China Stone Arch Bridge", the author did not explain it to readers in scientific and plain language when giving examples, but described the scenery or expressed his feelings, and the words used were very expressive and infectious. For example, "In the early spring, willows fluttered at the head of the stone bridge in the south of the Yangtze River, and slender hairsprings brushed the hard stones on the bridge. Even if you can't touch the breeze and the waning moon, it will make the painter ecstatic! " Yangliuqiao is a common landscape in Jiangnan. The author defines time as the early spring weather when willows have just turned green and sprouted, and the bridge is a stone bridge. The contrast and contrast between the two kinds of scenery form a special aesthetic feeling. "The waning moon in Yang Liuan and Xiao Feng" is a famous sentence of Liu Yong, a poet in the Song Dynasty. What is said here is that "even if the waning moon in Xiao Feng can't be touched, the painter will be enchanted", and it is emphasized that the beautiful scenery composed of thin willow stone bridges is touching enough, and nothing else is needed to set it off. Vivid language is very infectious.

Through the study of this lesson, we understand the special aesthetic feeling of the bridge in the painter's eyes, and understand that the bridge in the painter's eyes plays different forms and functions in different environments, that is, it has different aesthetic effects.

The difference between it and the more standardized exposition "China Stone Arch Bridge" is that the author does not explain to readers in scientific and plain language, but describes the scenery or expresses feelings, and the words are very expressive and infectious. In this lesson, we not only know that the bridge has different aesthetic feelings in different people's eyes, but also know that there are two different classifications of expository writing due to language characteristics, namely plain expository writing and vivid expository writing, that is, scientific prose. The author does not focus on appreciating the "beauty of the bridge" from the structure of the bridge itself, but is more fascinated by the various forms and functions of the bridge in different environments. The bridge in the painter's eyes is beautiful because it plays a formal role and forms a harmonious whole with the surrounding environment.
