Allusions to Chen Dayu's works

The roving exhibition of Chen Dayu's calligraphy and painting shows many cocks with different postures. But it was on display for a week, and then it was stopped. Why? It is said that Jiang Qing criticized one of the cocks by name, saying that it "rolled its eyes, pulled out its feathers, held its head high maliciously, looked from bottom to top, and made a desperate fight." And said that "Chen Dayu wants to challenge the dictatorship of the proletariat". To say that the rooster in that painting is drawn in a way similar to photography "leaning", it has a unique artistic conception. But that's a way to describe class enemies! You see, in the stills of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward", Yang Zirong used a backhand, and at first glance he was a positive figure. Moreover, the mountain carving is taken from above, which is not good fruit at first glance. You are very creative in Chen Dayu's cock painting, which is good, but when you "shoot down" it, it is a bad cock.

The rooster model made such a gesture casually, but later she made a scene with Chen Dayu. But how could Jiang Qing be interested in having a hard time with the rooster in the painting? It turns out that China has been up and down for thousands of years, and the "chicken" has become the earthly incarnation of the exorcist bird. According to the written records in Wang Jia's Notes: "Yao reigned for 70 years, young bears came to gather, Kirin swam in Tuoze, and owls fled in the desert. A country with a branch offers a bird with a bright future, and "eyes" speak with both eyes. It looks like a chicken and sings like a phoenix. When the feathers fell, the meat flew away. You can fight to drive away wild animals, tigers and wolves, so that evil spirits can't do harm. Give Joan ointment. Or a year old, or a few years old. China people have to sweep the floor before they can hope for a bright collection. Before its arrival, China people either carved wood or cast gold, just like a bird, and put it between the doors, so evil and ugliness naturally retreated. Today, every year people carve wood and cast gold, or draw a chicken on a donkey. This portrait is also. " During the Cultural Revolution, Jiang Qing, who made waves, was stared at by the white eyes of the Ming Dynasty, born of his heart and turned his face at will. She naturally felt that the China rooster, who had always struggled with evil forces, wanted to "fight to the death" with her. It was naturally afraid and not easy to attack, so she turned to Luo Zhi for help to make "unwarranted" accusations against Chen Dayu.

"Scholar's learning comes first, literature and art come last", "A gentleman is poor, but a talented person knows his fate." These two sentences have always been regarded as the way of life of literati and poets. At that time, during the sensitive period of the Cultural Revolution when the Gang of Four was in power, Chen Dayu dared to open an exhibition with the theme of "exorcising evil" and then defeated Jiang Qing with a bird that regained its light. This shows his courage! His backbone and moral integrity are worthy of being the only remaining apprentice of Qi Baishi! Chen Dayu was called "Abatti Giresse Concorde" by Qi Baishi, who was nearly 80 years old at that time, and the old man Baishi said: "(Abatti Giresse Concorde) wrote more elegantly than me." "After Wu Zhao, I saw Chen Jun alone." The word "Dayu" was also given by Qi Baishi, which shows its artistry.

Chen Dayu, in a rooster-like territory, depicts the great rooster soul of the Chinese nation with the pride of rooster!
