[Fan page of Yun Shouping’s Jianmen picture]

The fan page of the Jianmen picture, Qing Dynasty, painted by Yun Shouping, paper, color, 17 cm vertically and 52.9 cm horizontally
The fan page has its own question: “In the summer and June of Gengxu, we traveled three or four miles along the mountain with Qiong from the western city to rest in our country, and boarded Jianmen. Jianmen is also the most popular place in Yushan. Before touching the water and half the mountain, suddenly a large stone wall rose up from the sky, like an array of armor clouds rising out of the ground, and also like a swinging wing hanging down. The stone wall continued to extend in the middle of the steep slope, and it was absolutely like a sword cut. If a window could open to other places, it was called Jianmen Cloud. I was ordered to draw Jianmen because of the stone valley, and it was also called Jianmen Cloud It is about the same as what I saw during the play title tour. ” Seal “Shou” with a round seal and “Zhengshu” with a square seal
“Gengxu” is the ninth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1670), when Yun Shouping was 38 years old
From the title, this picture is Yun Shouping and his friends Wang Shigu and Lu Hanru, who are good at drawing, who traveled to Jianmen in Yushan. They were shocked by the steep and precipitous mountains of Jianmen. Yun Shouping was entrusted by Wang Shigu to write down this trip in the form of painting. Therefore, this picture is the most realistic picture of the style of Jianmen in Yushan. It is also a documentary picture of Yun Shouping’s early friends and friends. It is of great significance to study Yun Shouping’s social activities
This picture is not big. The author did not start from the foot of the mountain to show the momentum of the Jianmen stone wall, but only painted a part of the stone wall. The omitted top and foot of the mountain give people more imagination space to extend upward and explore downward. At the same time, the author uses the artistic technique of comparison to draw the behavior of his friends on the cliffs to set off the towering and steep mountains. The mountains and rocks in the picture are even chapped and dyed, the colors are bright and elegant, and the strokes are loose and beautiful, showing the characteristics of Yun Shouping’s landscape paintings
