Self knowledge: “A pole breaks through the cold jade and ripples after the rain. It winds through the Bajiu Beach, with thousands of strong peaks. Love this good night tour, and the song is played the second time. The crowd of public is happy to lead, and the dark green mountain hall is covered. The Qi Xi is shining with lanterns, and the thumbs are divided into red beans. The whirlpool flower is not yet open, and the fragrant wind has first played. In the early summer of the Geng Noon Festival, Mr. Qi Yuan and Brother Dongyan moved together with Ding, Li Ting, Ren Yuan, Peng Yuan, Uncle Wen Pei, and Xia Jia Peiyi to sail across the rock stream. They collected the Qiu Shan Hall in the evening, and each wrote two short ancient songs and was right, and younger brother Qing.” Seal “Mouzi” and “Old Qu”
Mount Huangshan Mountain is located in the south of Anhui Province and northwest of She County. The mountain range stretches for more than 300 miles, with 72 peaks. It is famous for its “four wonders” of strange pines, strange rocks, sea of clouds and hot springs. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, famous painters in Anhui, such as Hong Ren, Mei Qing and Shi Tao, used the wonders of Mount Huangshan Mountain to paint, forming the “Mount Huangshan Painting School”. Among them, Mei Qing’s Mount Huangshan won with momentum, which is extraordinary
This set of Mount Huangshan Pictures is a masterpiece of Mei Qing in his later years. The whole volume is divided into eight sections, with eight scenes of Mount Huangshan Mountain, such as Tiandu Peak and Lianhua Peak, painted respectively. They are either isolated peaks with thousands of cliffs, or vast sea of clouds, or pines blocking the sun, or majestic passes and mountains, with different scenes and various landscapes. There are three ways for Mei Qing to paint Mount Huangshan Mountain. One is to sketch lines, the other is to render ink, and the third is to combine sketch and rendering. This atlas is drawn by the third method
Mei Qing’s landscape painting is far from the legacy of the Song and Yuan dynasties. He has learned the brush and ink techniques of the “Four Schools of the Yuan Dynasty” and Shen Zhou, and has also learned the painting skills from Shi Tao. His creation attaches the most importance to learning from nature. He has visited famous mountains and rivers in the places of Yan, Wu, Qi and Chu, and painted life in front of the green mountains all day long. Mount Huangshan and his hometown Xuancheng are the themes that Mei Qing focuses on most in his paintings. In the book “Sixteen Sceneries of Mount Huangshan in Moutan”, he wrote, “I have traveled to Mount Huangshan, and most of them are Mount Huangshan.” It can be seen that he has worked hard on the scenery of Mount Huangshan. Mei Qingtu started with Mount Huangshan from life, added his own subjective feelings, and highlighted the unique, solemn, dangerous and beautiful artistic conception of Mount Huangshan with bold and unrestrained writing.
