Appreciation of Tian Shiguang Lake Spring Map Works

This painting depicts the lakeside of Chu Qing, where peach, pear and pear branches are intertwined. The spring is bright and beautiful, and a hundred flowers are blooming, even the unknown wild flowers and grass are full of vitality. A bird flew up to the peach tree branch on the left, twittering to inform the audience, attracting a pair of beautiful slender blue ribbon birds to land on the curved trunk of the peach tree on the lower right, looking around and singing with the birds, very happy. Ribbon bird is rich and colorful, with black, white, gray and blue stripes, red beak and claws, bright colors and elegant posture. The painter's creative state is excellent, the hook line at the bottom of the pen is stable and accurate, rigid and smooth, and the strength of the center and the rhythm of beautiful rhythm are both rigid and soft. There are many oblique lines in this painting, such as slopes, bent stems, side branches, grass flowers, etc., which have a strong sense of movement and elegance. Among them, the peach branches of the upper and lower groups and the trunks of two trees are interspersed with shadows and twists and turns, which are very vivid and exquisite, quite elegant, without a trace of desolation and dullness.

This color highlights the most beautiful season of the year, that is, the beauty of March in spring. Pear is clean, peach is pink, pear leaves are linear green and peach is pink. They are dyed harmoniously with white, yellow, ochre, green and rouge, and their colors are rich and fragrant. The upper bird's head, back and tail feathers are dyed with ink, slightly covered with turquoise, the abdomen is dyed with light ochre to the lower jaw, then dyed with turquoise, and then the lower abdomen is washed with white powder. The striped back feathers of two ribbon birds are dyed with thick and light ink, with blue flowers, white spots and white powder on the back neck, lower abdomen and tail tip, blue wings and tail feathers covered with slightly white powder, crimson beak and claws, and white eyes to show their prominence. Tree trunks and slopes are dyed with ochre ink or ochre azurite on the basis of horizontal painting, and the combination of horizontal painting and stippling of wild flowers and plants increases the richness of the picture. Finally, the lake is rendered with moist turquoise from thick to light, and the white powder reminds people of floating petals, just like the sweeping pen in Yuan Jing Zhu Ting, which plays the role of breaking the board and adding humor. Ribbon birds are generally red and blue, and some ancient people even dyed stones green. The "ribbon" of the ribbon bird is a lucky bird because of its homophonic word "longevity", which has a beautiful meaning of wishing people a long life and peace. Metaphoring people with things is a common technique in Chinese painting, and it is also a distinctive national feature of Chinese painting in world art.

I admire Tian Shiguang's masterpiece, which is full of longing for a harmonious and beautiful life, and wrote a cloud of praise in the Five Laws: "The lake is beautiful in March, and the wind caresses the blue waves. Peach blossoms and pear blossoms are brilliant, and the branches and leaves are swaying. Birthday is celebrated by birds, and the long embankment is far away. Don't disgrace yourself, sway and sing fairy songs. "
