Blue Ying Cloud Gully Tibetan Fishing Map Axis

[Blue Ying Tibetan Fishing Map Axis in Cloud Gully]

The axis of the “Tibetan Fishing Map in Cloud Gully”, made by blue Ying in the Ming Dynasty, in silk, with colors, 369 cm vertically and 98 cm horizontally
This self-knowledge: “There are fish hidden in the clouds and gullies. Ding Youqiu imitated Li Xi’s ancient painting on the mountain vagina on the ninth day of the year. The external history of the West Lake is Lan Ying.” The seal is “the seal of Lan Ying” and “the surname of Tian Shu”. Also, “Jie’an” and other three parties were identified, collected and printed
This picture is Lan Ying’s masterpiece at the age of 73 (1657). The picture is extremely dangerous, especially in the upper part of the picture. A section of steep and towering peaks is magnificent. In the danger of falling down, it also has the sublime sense of “going to the sky and not getting full of feet”, which shows the author’s strong ability to create scenery. Lan Ying also has a strong modeling ability in the performance of trees. He can accurately and vividly grasp the morphological characteristics of various trees, stretch branches and spread leaves, and have a lot of emotion. The expressive techniques of leaves are extremely rich, including the method of clipping the leaves with lines on both sides, the method of dotting the leaves with ink directly on the horizontal point of the pen, and the method of combining pine needles with clusters and covering with light colors. The mountain stone texturing method imitates the brushwork of Li Xigu (Li Tang) of the Song Dynasty, outlines the outline of the stone with a rough ink brush, and rubs the stone surface with a small axe with a lateral edge, which successfully shows the dignified texture of the mountain rock. This picture has both the professional style of professional painters and the bookish style of literati painters. The two are skillfully integrated, which shows that Lan Ying is worthy of being the representative figure of professional painters closing in to literati painting at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
