This Seshou waits for Yang, his status in Japan is definitely not just a painting saint, it can be described. If you have to give him a modern title, you can definitely call him a national treasure of Japan, or the pride of Japan of!
You must know that he was the only Japanese among the top ten cultural celebrities in the world at the Vienna World Peace Conference in 1956.
Such a character, what do you think will be his status in the hearts of the Japanese?
This Seshou and other Yang is a famous Zen monk painter in the late Muromachi, Japan, and a master of Japanese Tang style works. His real name is Oda et al. Yang. After he became a monk, Seshou became a Dharma named by Seshou Temple. He loved painting since he was a child. When he was young, he converted to Buddha and became a monk.
Unexpectedly, after becoming a monk in the end, he became famous, because he liked painting since childhood. After becoming a monk, he had a lot of time to study painting, and finally became a master in painting.
When he first became a monk, he did not become a monk at Seshou Temple, but became a monk at Xiangguo Temple, where he had the opportunity to learn from many Japanese painters who believed in Buddhism, and became familiar with the painting techniques that were popular in Japan at that time.
At that time, Japanese paintings were mainly imitated Chinese paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and this kind of painting skills made Seshou and other Yang very obsessed.
Later, in the third year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1467, the 47-year-old Seshou finally got an opportunity to study abroad. He followed the 13th Japanese mission to the Ming Dynasty, and took the tribute ship of Tian and Qingqi as the official envoy. I came to Ningbo in a month.
When he came to Ningbo this time, Xuezhou stayed at Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, which was also the destination he wanted to visit and stay in day and night. The Ningbo Municipal Shipping Division also specially sent Xu Lian, a Ningbo scribe who was proficient in Japanese, to accompany the tribute and acted as a guide and translator for Seshou.
So this Jingtiantong Shande Temple, hidden in the pine forest of twenty miles, has added another overseas student who is outstanding in Confucianism, Buddhism and painting.
In modern times, because of the Japanese painter’s influence in Japan and the world, Seshou and other Yang have even been included in the Tiantong Famous Monks List.
Xuezhou and other Yang eagerly searched for landscapes in Ningbo, eastern Zhejiang, and met famous master Gao Shi. He especially loved the works of landscape painters Ma Yuan and Xia Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty.
At that time, Fengfang, a calligrapher and painter in Ningbo city, and Taipuqing Jinyu, who retired to Nanhu, were his close friends, so he fixed the sails of the customs, the towers of the Sanjiangkou, the fishing boats of Dongqian Lake, the waterfalls of Xuedou Mountain, and the emperor. The three towers of the mountain were recorded by him one by one.
Midwinter of the year. Accompanied by Xu Lian, Xuezhou and other Yang entered Beijing from the Zhedong Canal. Along the way, the peaks of Siming Mountain stood tall, the Yangtze River was full of water, and there was also the majesty of Dai Prison and the prosperity of the capital. Makes the snow boat seem to be intoxicated.
After arriving in Beijing, he splashed ink and painted brushes in the courtyard of the Minister of Rites, and Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty heard the performance of the golden hall and praised him. And he was also given the title of “Tiantong No. 1”, which was the highest honor for this Japanese student back then.
In the Imperial Painting Garden in the capital, Sezhou discussed “the purpose of coloring” and “the method of splashing ink” with famous painters Zhang Yousheng and Li Zai. progress.
During his stay in Ningbo, Xuezhou met and communicated with literati, copied paintings, and then went north to enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers of China, and then arrived in the capital. First, he learned Xia Gui’s academy-style painting, and then learned the coloring, splashing, and smearing techniques of Chinese ink painting from the then Chinese court painters Li Zai and Zhang Yousheng.
In addition, he also studied the abstract landscape painting techniques of the Zhejiang School, Wu School, and the Academy at that time, as well as the orthodox landscape painting techniques of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
This is one of the main reasons for the dramatic change in his painting style after his return to China. The two years in China marked a watershed for the changes in the painting styles of Yang, such as Seshou.
Xuezhou waited for Yang to return to China. On this basis, he carried out creative research and development. His later landscape paintings, which are the culmination of various schools, have the elegance and beauty of the academy. There are the fresh and elegant of the literati, the simplicity and simplicity of the Zen forest, and the novelty and abstraction. Coupled with the unique style of Japanese samurai, his painting style can be said to be varied, creating a rather Japanese-style ink landscape. .
It is also from him. He created the style of broken ink landscape painting that later influenced Japanese painting.
Such an important work of a famous Japanese historical figure, of course, Jin Muchen is bound to receive it.
In terms of artistic conception, this painting is actually similar to Chinese splashing ink. The light ink landscape painting is unique. Jin Muchen has never seen such a painting style before.
Coupled with the international reputation of Xue Zhou and Yang Yang, even if I don’t want this painting in the future, I will take it to Europe to operate it, and I will not worry about being able to fetch a high price.
The most important thing is this “Autumn and Winter Landscape Map. “Winter Scene”, but Na Xuezhou and other Yang’s excellent works after collecting the strengths of various Chinese ink painting masters in his later years.
You must know that he was almost fifty years old when he came back from China. After that, although he created a school of Japanese painting style, the final works produced are not many.
There are very few that can be passed down to this day. In addition, this painting has been kept in the imperial possession of the Tianhuang family before. If it is sold out, its value can be imagined. Jin Muchen feels that with Na Xuecun and others Yang’s status in the history of Japanese painting and the history of world art, it should not be difficult for this painting to sell for the same price as Picasso’s work.
Great harvest! After collecting this work, Jin Muchen’s heart will not mention how beautiful it is.
Moving forward, there are basically not many Seshou-style works, but it is another Japanese national treasure-level heavy painting that catches Jin Muchen’s eyes.
When the picture “The Legend of Prince Shotoku” appeared in front of Jin Muchen’s eyes, it really shocked him!
Nima’s, full of sixty pages of pictures, cut the picture with architecture and landscapes, such a large-scale painting of the eleventh century, this is particularly in Japan, even if it is taken to China, it will It must also be regarded as a national treasure among national treasures!
As far as Jin Muchen knows, the longest large-scale painting in ancient Chinese paintings may be the famous painting “Along the River During Qingming Festival”. When comparing with the front of the “Biography”, even if he was thinking about Chinese culture, he could only sigh to himself.
Indeed, this painting is really shocking. If nothing else, just talking about his length is really shocking. There are sixty pictures.
In the eleventh century, I am afraid that the whole world, except Japan, really could not find such a long masterpiece.
This is the first time that Jin Muchen has a trace of respect for Japanese art culture.
Then I looked at this painting carefully. This painting is actually an introduction to the life of Prince Shotoku, from his birth until his death, all the scenes he experienced, and then there are some written descriptions on each painting, They are all explaining what happened on the screen, and the text is still in Chinese.
This painting can only be rated as mediocre in terms of painting skills alone, and the content is nothing more than an enlarged version of the villain’s book, but if you talk about the characters in this painting, and his life story, plus Given the length of this painting, this painting can definitely be rated as a national treasure among Japan’s national treasures.
This Prince Shotoku can be said to be one of the most famous politicians in Japanese history. Even Emperor Meiji, who later implemented the Restoration, had to bow his head three-pointed in front of him. Whoever made Emperor Meiji his Xuan Xuan Xuan. . . . . . What about Sun?
Prince Shotoku was born in 574. He was the second prince of Emperor Mingming, and his mother was Empress Hobuma.
The experience of Prince Shotoku is also rather strange. Although he did not ascend the throne of Japan’s emperor, he held the highest power in Japan for 30 years.
During the 30 years he was in power, in order to adapt to the changing new situation at home and abroad, he implemented a series of eye-catching reforms, so he was honored by later Japanese as the emperor of Japanese Buddhism, the Holy King, great man.
Even to this day, he is still a great saint in the eyes of the Japanese people. His head is printed on the banknotes of 5 dry yen and 10,000 yen. There is absolutely no Japanese who does not know him.
Like many “great men” in history, there are many bizarre legends about the birth of Prince Shotoku. It is said that his mother became pregnant because a little golden monk jumped into the mouth. . . It’s no wonder that Japanese people are so open now that they can get pregnant by swallowing sperm in their early years. . .
Then one day a few months after she was pregnant, she gave birth suddenly while walking beside the stables, and gave birth to Prince Shotoku, so Prince Shotoku was named the Prince of the Stable House again.
The interesting thing is that ~www.readmtl.com~ The legend that Prince Shotoku was born in a stable is very similar to the legend that **** was born in a stable in the West, but this Prince Shotoku is much better than Jesus, because it is said that when he was born, Fragrance emanated from his body, and the yard shone brightly. . . It seems that the ability of the Japanese to brag is no different than that of the Chinese. . .
It is said that he was a child prodigy since he was a child. When he turned one year old, he faced the east and recited “Namo Amitabha Buddha” with his palms together. At the age of seven, he read hundreds of sutras. . . Simply a genius. . .
Regarding the name of Prince Shotoku, there is something to be said. It is said that when a guy who was still called the prince of the stable household at that time was out to play, he saw a yellow-faced and thin tramp lying on the side of the road, and the prince of the stable household asked him what his name was. He couldn’t even answer the name.
The prince of the stable household still cared about him very much, so he immediately had someone bring him food, took off his clothes and covered him, and told him to take a good rest. But when the prince of the stable household sent someone to visit again the next day, the homeless man was already dead by the roadside. The prince of the stable household was very sad and buried him there. (To be continued.)
