Fu Baoshi and Wang Wei’s “Weicheng Qu” Poetic Image Banner

“Wang Wei’s” Weicheng Qu “Poetic Image Banner”

“Wang Wei’s” Weicheng Qu “Poetic Image Banner”, modern and contemporary, painted by Fu Baoshi, paper version, colored, vertical 60.6 cm, horizontal 107.1 cm
The title of this painting is: “Write with a stone in white.” The seal is “Private Seal with a Stone in White”, the seal is “often drunk”, and the seal is “often drunk”
This picture depicts the poetic meaning of Wang Wei’s “Weicheng Qu” in the Tang Dynasty: “The rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow is fresh. I urge you to drink a glass of wine more, and there is no one left behind when you leave Yangguan in the west.” However, in the early morning, there is a misty rain, and willow branches that have just sprouted are draped and swaying with the wind. Inside the house, the host is toasting to a friend who is about to leave, saying goodbye. Although the ox cart outside has already been prepared, it has not been sent for a long time due to the sincere feelings between friends that are difficult to part with, and the feeling of parting is filled with thoughts that cannot be exhausted
Fu Baoshi’s poetic paintings have a dense conception and exquisite layout, not only expressing the literal description of the scene, but also expressing its implicit artistic conception. The scenery on the picture is surrounded by fresh green and enchanting. However, the thought that once a friend leaves Yangguan in the west, it will be the vast Gobi and the sandstorm will fill the sky. Comparing the two, how can it not add to the host’s sad mood. The painter’s apparent emphasis on “green” is actually a clever way to condense the host’s concern for his friends on a long journey into it, with ingenuity and implicit euphemism, which gives a long aftertaste
