This picture reads “Teresau”. According to the title, it is known that this picture was painted by Wang Lu after he visited Mount Hua in the 16th year of Hongwu (1383). The artistic conception of the whole book is either steep, deep, vast, or clear, which fully displays the beautiful scenery and scenic spots of Mount Hua. The author systematically discusses his painting ideas in the Preface to the Huashan Painting. Among them, the view of “learning from nature” and the view of “freehand brushwork in form” of “learning from heart, learning from eyes, and learning from Huashan” have a profound impact on the theory of landscape painting in later generations
Mount Huashan, which overlooks the Yellow River in the north and Tongguan in the east, is towering and towering. It has been listed as one of the five famous mountains since ancient times, and is known as the Western Mountain. Its magnificent scenery has become the subject of praise by poets and painters of all ages
There are 40 picture pages in this volume, and there are 66 self-written notes, postscripts, poems and pictures, which are combined into one volume. The Palace Museum has 29 picture pages, and the rest is in Shanghai Museum. Each scene has exquisite description. As shown in “The Picture of the Peak Above”, the picture is of a precipitous terrain, with the mountains facing each other, and the iron locks hanging down on the steep peak wall, like a silver train hanging in the air. The pedestrians under the cliff look up, deliberately rendering the precipitous situation of “no road on the green wall, no luck in the future” (Han Yushi). The “Top of Canglong Ridge” is surrounded by clouds and mists, and the peaks and peaks are looming. It is a vast and rhythmic atmosphere. The whole picture is mainly in ink, with ochre, cyan and other light colors. The composition is mostly close and middle shot, highlighting the main body and paying attention to the depth of space. The pen is straight and sharp. The rocks are mostly chopped with sharp strokes to show the solid stone quality of Huashan, while the trees are shown with simple strokes as thin and hard as bent milling iron. The painting method is taken from Ma Yuan and Xia Gui of the Southern Song Dynasty and has its own style. This picture is the masterpiece of Wang Lu in his later years, and it is also his only surviving copy
