There is a caption on the fan page: “In the year of Jiawu, I joined the boat with Zhang Yuean to the south, and the canopy window was opposite. The picture of Huaxi Fishing and Music by Hui Chong was displayed. I didn’t want to go to play on the day and night. Now the tomb of the king is arched, and I don’t know where the painting is. I am still tired of rest in the world, thinking about the past, and I can’t help but feel the feeling of the piano. I copy its meaning, and I will never forget the old ear. I dye the old man’s seal.”. “Jiawu” is the eleventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1654), when Wang Jian was 57 years old
Wang Jian is famous for worshiping, imitating and imitating the ancient in the painting world. He looks around for the best structures handed down from generation to generation. As long as he passes through the famous works, he often needs to copy or recite them, and is not tired. As we know from the title, this picture fan is Wang Jian’s back to his friend Zhang Yuean (famous scholar Zeng)’s “The Painting of Fishing in Huaxi” by Huichong of the Northern Song Dynasty. The picture shows the scene of fishermen boating and fishing in the peach blossom season. Its sparse and simple composition, elegant and graceful lines, and fresh and elegant colors all show the charm of the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River painted by Huichong. It can be seen that Wang Jian has profound antique skills. Wang Jianmou’s high skill in ancient painting can be seen from Wang Shimin’s “Wang Fengchang’s Painting and Calligraphy Inscription”. “Today’s Lianzhou is rising, and Dong (Yuan), Ju (Ran), Li (Cheng), Fan (Kuan), and San Zhao (Zhao Lingrang, Zhao Boju, Zhao Mengfu) are all impressed by the four masters of Jiyuan. They are not only similar in shape, but also able to choose its essence. Without marking, they are known as a certain style.”
