Yiwei early winter tour to Qionghai and Lugu Lake in Xichang (4)

Visiting Qionghai and Lugu Lake in Xichang in the early winter of Yiwei (4)

Journey in the middle of the painting - Notes on the paintings of Yixintang·Part 1,069

Jiangnan master Tongshan Lei

From above. At dawn the next day, we went to the slightly frosty ferry and braved the cold to take a ride on the Mosuo people's "pig trough boat" for a cruise around the lake. The so-called "pig trough boat", as the name suggests, is really like a pig trough. For the safety of passengers, the "top of the trough" (the side of the boat) is made wider and thicker. Taking a boat trip to Lugu Lake can be said to be the most enjoyable part of the trip. Between the mist and the twilight sun, seven or eight people took a boat together and sang songs on the extremely clear blue lake. And the clarity of the lake water can only become more real when you come to the center of the lake. The visibility of this water layer is generally more than ten meters deep. And based on the intuitive feeling at this time, the water is like glass, like crystal, like green and clear jade, smooth and smooth, unfathomable, like connecting to immortals and the underworld, no matter how you describe it, it cannot be overstated. In such a pure vastness, listening to the sound of the oars and slowly sailing away, the physical and mental pleasure is really indescribable. So, looking around, you can see green mountains all around. Looking up and down, you can see groups of gulls circling in the sky, and aquatic animals floating in the waves. Wherever the eyes could see, boats were passing back and forth lightly, and people of all kinds, whether they knew each other or not, responded to each other cordially. For a moment, they had entered a kind of friendly and beautiful, illusory but really wonderful realm. The fellow rower was a cheerful man. When he was steering the oar and steering the boat, he led us to sing and talk and laugh. Once, looking at the foot of the mountain in the dim light of the morning and in front of the inlet, Nai pointed at a colorfully decorated wooden building and proudly said that that was his home. Everyone was filled with envy. During the conversation, he also briefly described the current local situation for us. What I remember most is that when someone on the boat talked about a famous person from the shore of Lugu Lake, he listened, seemed to ponder slightly, and then said objectively and honestly that in fact, the local fellows did not really recognize his character, but he did. Thanks to him for finally introducing this place. Indeed, in such a remote place, if this were not the case, how could the economic situation change! When parting, everyone thanked the rowing man, and he cheerfully replied: "No, it's our turn to thank you for sending us RMB!" This is a common idea among the locals. When the boat sailed past Princess Island, the most famous island in the lake, the elder brother mentioned another point, which made us even more alarmed. ——Dao is one of the dignitaries of this dynasty. A certain man who was overthrown not long ago came to live here. The local people were also ordered to select several girls' families and send them to him... yo! It turns out that a certain grown-up who was very popular got married here, and there was no need to sing the right songs, and there was no need to expend energy to climb the flower tower, let alone consider whether the other party was willing or not, and whether he had challenged other people's tribal customs. There is no moral bottom line, but someone directly sacrifices the girl's family! Of course, this matter itself cannot be investigated. However, come to think of it, with the simplicity and kindness of the Mosuo people, why would they make up some rumors to slander the "former leader"... After all, this incident is just a small episode, so everyone either ridicules or ridicules After a while, he even said "runr" (the pronunciation of Chongqing dialect, I can't find the corresponding Chinese character, the general meaning is similar to "youtayimo"), "should this be set up as a new tourist attraction, write 'XXX go" Marriage place 'oh'? That’s all. All in all, the trip to the lake that day left a very deep and wonderful and joyful impression on everyone's minds; and for us, it certainly gave us many more painting topics. Afterwards, we completed related painting projects one after another: "On the shore of Lu Lake, the sky is dawning, and all the boats are ready to go...", "Smoke filled Lugu Lake and boats passing by Princess Island", "Boats sailing in the clear sky", "Pig trough boat" The water is empty and clear, and the pond is clear and blue and deep enough to see the bottom.", "This place is affectionate because of its beautiful mountains and secluded waters.", "How long will it take to find the Jade Lake?", "Who would have expected that this remote place in the mountain would be a clear blue lake and Sai Yaochi", "The water of Lugu Lake" How deep? The clouds, shadows, grass and flowers appear in harmony" and "The island has long been known as a forbidden area, but it is also the place where high-ranking officials conduct "walking marriages"". This is attached together. If readers are still interested, you can still refer to the casual text at the time of the painting:

In the past two days, two new paintings have been painted, and they have been greatly stained (the water in the middle of winter is too heavy!). One is "On the shore of Luhu Lake, the sky is dawning, and all the boats are ready to go..."; the other is "Smoke fills Lugu Lake and boats pass by Princess Island". Of course, the title chant is slightly based on the flavor of ancient poetry. The key is to pay attention to the mood of the picture itself. A subject like this must be somewhat indifferent or even ethereal. But it is indeed effective in avoiding the thin feeling. No matter how light it is, it must have its own level. And it must reflect a relatively strict sense of order in the seemingly "chaos of faith." I realized twenty years ago that "the color and ink seem to slowly emerge from the depths of the paper", and I have to persist no matter what. Judging from the current situation, these kinds of interests are generally displayed. It depends on the ending tomorrow. Generally speaking, these are the last two paintings of the year.

Also: The above is in yesterday’s language. Now let’s put away the brush of the second painting. "Smoke on Lugu Lake, Boat Passing by Princess Island" captures the image of smoke and clouds lingering on the water under the morning sun, and is soft and yet still seems to have a relatively solid feel. However, there will certainly be those who are optimistic about a painting like ours, but in the end, it may also be criticized by both "left and right" parties. One party may think that there is no need to exaggerate to this point; the other party may think that the degree of "photography" is not enough or even scrawled.

Moreover, even according to our point of view, it is always difficult to achieve the most ideal step in a painting like this: the "property" in all aspects, in fact, in this "no regrets" situation, there is really no The Fabi pen is "handled" well. Strive for ten points and get seven or eight, and that's it... "On the shore of Lu Lake, the sky is dawning, and all the boats are ready to go" is a relatively simple and clear painting. Through the comprehensive use of pen, ink and color, the "morning mood" obtained is still quite sufficient, and it seems to be cleaner and neater than the previous painting. Of course, it is okay for people to think that it is simple and specious. After finishing the painting, I put away the inkstone and Xinyi drafted some painting titles with the remaining ink, and I will continue painting after the new year. Now we are ready to organize the recording and recording of this month’s work into electronic files in advance, and everything will proceed as planned.

"Construction will start" after the year. I deliberately selected two scenes of Lugu Lake with greater contrast to be included in the painting. One is "The boat is sailing in the clear sky" and the other is "When the Yaochi in a remote place is getting further away". The former is extremely difficult to grasp the threshold: he knows that it is impossible to pursue the realistic sense of light and shadow like Western paintings, but he still wants to "understand" this feeling. In this way, it is necessary to have "special skills" to achieve the predetermined goal. And how can such things be accomplished overnight? Therefore, the results are disappointing at best. Or maybe this "challenge" shouldn't have been made in the first place? But having said that, if I accidentally try this "change", I can compare the clear scenery such as boats, birds, colorful clouds, distant mountains and so on in the gentle sunshine on the water surface, with the relatively hazy floating grass and fish in the amber-like dark blue and transparent lake water. Yi Zong uses this Chinese brush and ink method to express his paintings. After all, his visual sense is novel and completely different from the past. The latter uses driving to reflect the "big scene" of lakes and mountains. It itself is the basic feeling when the day's sightseeing is completed and we are gradually farther and farther away from this "remote Yaochi". Naturally, it is not limited to the actual scenery, so it goes straight to the broad view. The brush is still displayed in the normal way of "freehand landscape". What the situation is will be judged by readers when the painting is uploaded to the Internet in the future.

Three paintings with themes of Lugu Lake: 1. "The water under the pig trough boat is empty and clear, and the bottom of the clear blue pond is deep." Let go of your hands and "realize" the "empty" water, showing the dense floating grass and a few swimming fish in the vast clear waves to make up for the "fear of hands and feet" in the previous painting. 2. "This island has long been known as a forbidden area, but it is also a place where high-ranking officials have "walking marriages". I tried to describe what I heard from the "boating brother" of the Mosuo people when I was taking a boat around the Princess Island, and expressed it in a tortuous way in this painting, which can be regarded as a bit touching on worldly affairs. In the painting, the lake is mist-covered with white mist, and the boat carrying people is located on the upper left and lower right side of the island, implying the "insurmountable" limit and also showing that "the vast white land is really clean." But there is a bird flying in the middle, - is it the messenger who delivers this message? 3. "How deep is the water in Lugu Lake?" The shadows of clouds, the appearance of grass and flowers, and the confusion." But standing under the clear winter sun that day, I got a real experience of the lakeside. Of course, this so-called "real situation" is only relative, and it is impossible to reproduce it in the form of a photo...

Two wandering words are still attached——

< p> Royal Daihua · Floating Boats on Lugu Lake

Mountains and lakes are tender and sunny in winter.

Looking at the crystal clear blue.

The cool morning mist,

surrounded a reed pond,

a few ships.

The plain flying gulls,

paddle by paddle,

happily begging for food.

Rocking the boat,

The singing voice is fully displayed,

The sound moves the travelers.

The cloud light is soft and smooth,

the neon glow is reflected in the waves,

the moss and rocks at the bottom of the water.

Indifferently on the distant shore,

I saw beautiful buildings,

green inlaid streets.

The sun is blazing, the sky is quiet,

it is near noon,

the surroundings are quiet.

Under the breeze,

The journey is gradually coming to an end,

How can we regain our happiness?

Looking for fragrant grass and walking around the shore of Lugu Lake

Looking beyond the mist,

how many,

worshiped the sacred mountains.

Water flowers,

stirred up everywhere,

accompanied by fishermen's songs,

faded away.

It’s the time of the Indian Summer,

It’s worth it,

traveling far away.

Let Xiaoyao,

Chew the leisurely taste.

Before you can sing,

be intoxicated first.
