Chapter 842 Japanese painting

It can be said that during the Muromachi shogunate period from 1338 to 1573, the Yamato paintings of Sesshu style dominated the Japanese painting circle for more than two hundred years.

The paintings handed down by the entire Seshou style are unparalleled in the image of Japan. It can even be said that the paintings presided over by each generation of Sesshu will be collected by the shogun and the imperial family at that time and regarded as treasures.

Later, it deeply affected the whole Japanese folk painting pattern. It can be said that almost all Japanese painters inherited the spirit of Seshou-style paintings, that is, relying on this spirit different from Chinese painting, Created the sect of what the Japanese later called Yamato-e.

Among the paintings of Seshou-style inheritance, the most influential is undoubtedly their original broken ink landscape paintings.

This kind of light ink landscape, which is different from the Chinese kind of light ink landscape, expresses the spirit of tranquility and far-reaching, and more expresses the spirit of depression and hopelessness, which is the essence of painting art that is very popular among Japanese painters of all dynasties. .

Moreover, such broken ink landscape paintings are also very popular internationally, especially Europeans like such broken ink landscape paintings very much.

The reason is also very simple, that is, compared with Chinese light ink landscape paintings, these broken ink landscape paintings have powerful brushstrokes, which can express the picture more realistically and clearly.

And Chinese light ink landscape painting is about artistic conception, so in terms of ink, it is indeed inferior to broken ink landscape painting, and it is not easy to preserve, and requires very careful care.

If it is not stored properly, there will be a risk of fading, so of course Europeans prefer this kind of broken ink landscape painting with heavy brushwork, because this kind of painting is easier to save, even if it is old, it is not afraid.

After collecting this picture, I don’t know the age or the specific “Fog Boat Picture” left by the abbot of Seshushu Temple in that area.

Jin Muchen continued to walk backwards. This is the exhibition area of ​​Yamato Painting. The broken ink landscape paintings on display are not only this one, but there are many good things in it. Waiting to discover for yourself.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, he saw another top-level representative work of broken ink landscape painting “Autumn and Winter Landscape.” Winter Scene!

The picture of this painting seems to have many more strokes than the Chinese Splashing Ink Mountain paintings or the light ink landscape paintings that Jin Muchen had collected before.

At the foot of a distant mountain, the roof of a temple is faintly exposed. Then another row of steps extended downwards from the temple, and at the bottom of the picture, there happened to be an old man with a hat who was walking up the steps.

There are steep peaks all around, and some withered branches on those peaks.

Although there are many strokes. But it is very good to draw the bleak meaning of that winter, but in this bleak winter, the old man who insisted on walking on the steep steps also reflects the person who painted it very well. The spirit of sinister weather succumbing.

In short, the whole painting looks very bleak, but it is not particularly gray. The old man who is on the edge can always make people feel in this bleak winter picture. to that warmth.

Take a closer look at the introduction to this painting. Xue Zhou and other Yang’s works, just a few big characters, made Jin Muchen feel like he was hit by a hammer on his temple.

It’s really going to be developed now. When I came to the site last time, because I couldn’t enter the Hallong Temple Treasure Hall, he really didn’t know that there was still such a treasure hidden in the Hallong Temple Treasure Hall.

It seems that the royal family of this day has really made a lot of money in order to win people’s hearts, and they are even willing to take out such a treasure!

But I was relieved when I thought about it. The treasures in the Horyu-ji Treasure Museum belong to the Celestial Family, but even the Tokyo National Museum originally belonged to the Celestial Family.

Only after WWII. This country was forced to democratize by the United States, and the emperor also stepped down from the altar. He can only be used as a Japanese spiritual totem, not as the real ruler of this country.

At the beginning of the end of World War II, during that time, the Japanese deeply reflected on World War II under the “teaching” of the Americans.

Because at that time the Americans were the emperors of Japan. Therefore, under the protection of the Americans, a lot of folk liberal scholars and liberal reflectionists were born in Japan.

These people deeply reflected on the madness of the Japanese during World War II, and why the Japanese were so mad, and finally came to a simple conclusion, that the Japanese imperial family is so special that it is not human.

Just for the self-interest of his family and those nobles and clansmen, he brainwashed and educated so many Japanese people and asked them to die for these clansmen and nobles.

So many Japanese young people became cannon fodder for these nobles and died on the battlefield of World War II, but after the war ended.

These so-called nobles still occupy the upper classes of Japan, and they still live a life of lavish money. And those young people who died in World War II have been forgotten so long ago, and some people can’t even find their bones. .

We have paid so much, what did we get in the end?

Such ideas and theories, if they were presented before World War II, would be absolutely outrageous.

People who promote such ideas don’t even have to wait for the police or the secret service to come to the door, or they will be hacked to death on the street by those young people who have been beaten with chicken blood, shouting Tianzhu.

But after World War II, the situation was very different. On the one hand, it was protected by Americans, and on the other hand, it was also because some Japanese people had indeed awakened.

During World War II, almost every family had their relatives who died on the battlefield, but what did they get in the end?

Not enough to eat, not to wear warm clothes, and then to die, but those dignitaries, one by one, eat their brains full of fat, but in the end they have nothing to do. This is too unfair.

Therefore, in the 1950s and 1960s, although Japan’s economy had taken off, the thinking of ordinary Japanese people was also the time when the struggle was the most intense.

At that time, there was even a group of people who founded the Japanese Communist Party, threatening to learn from the Emperor Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty, to abolish the emperor, and to make a communist wife.

Does this even sound like a word? As a result, before the Japanese dignitaries could make a move, the Americans finally took care of those guys. You know, communism or something, American fathers hated it the most.

And after those things, the imperial family also knew that they could no longer pretend to be mysterious as usual. They had to be close to the people and close to the people. They had to let those mud-legged people know that their emperor’s father still loved them.

So I let go and let the Tokyo National Museum belong to the Ministry of Education, but in fact, the final attributes have not changed much, and other nobles, seeing the emperor’s position, also began to donate treasures to this museum, or Store the treasures of your own brooms in the museum for display.

In this way, he showed his determination to be happy with the people.

In order to expand their influence among the people, the Tianhuang family simply built a treasure hall of Horyu Temple, and showed some of the secrets of their own family to ordinary people.

In fact, these things are not all displayed for the common people. You must know that the emperor is not stupid. They know that those ordinary muddy legs have nothing to please. Even if they are dissatisfied with the emperor, what kind of waves can they make?

The most important thing is to please those literati in the middle class of society. You must know that most of these guys are artists, professors, doctors, or lawyers, and they have considerable influence in society.

It would be best if they could make their hearts towards the Heavenly Royal Family.

But these guys are different from those scumbags. If you take out some ordinary things, you can’t fool them. Instead, they will think that you are not sincere. When you say something bad about you in the newspaper, that will have a huge impact.

So they just gritted their teeth and took out a lot of treasures that they were reluctant to see.

For example, this piece of Seshou et al. Yang’s “Autumn and Winter Landscape Map.” “Winter Scene” painting, this is a masterpiece that the whole Japan only knows its name, but does not see its real body. It has an unparalleled influence in the history of Japanese painting. It has always been a treasure of the imperial broom, even if it is the best. When friends come, they are reluctant to take it out and enjoy it with everyone.

But this time, in order to please those literati, the Emperor of Heaven also made a lot of money, and took this national treasure of Japan to the Horyu Temple Treasure Museum for display. Of course, the display time is also intermittent, but for many people, it is already It’s enough~www.readmtl.com~ Because the influence of this painting is really too great, being able to see the real face is a very important thing for many people.

In fact, the reason why this painting is so important to many Japanese artists is mainly because the author of this painting, Seshou et al. Yang!

You must know that this snow boat host is definitely the most famous one among all the snow boat styles!

He is the most representative figure in Japanese Tang style and Yamato-e painting. He is respected as Japan’s “painting saint” in the Japanese painting circle!

Just by the title of “Painting Saint”, you can already realize the status of this monk in the Japanese painting circle.

This position is completely the same as that of Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty in China. You must know Wu Daozi, who also has the reputation of a painting saint in the Chinese art circle!

Wu Daozi’s paintings, even if Jin Muchen visited the British Museum, he couldn’t find Wu Daozi’s paintings to collect, but Jin Muchen couldn’t collect the works of Chinese painting sages. Here is a Japanese painting sage’s work. Not bad. (To be continued.)
