1. Zheng Xie, the leader of the Eight Eccentrics [Zheng Banqiao] Zheng Banqiao and his "Bamboo and Stone Pictures" During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Banqiao sat facing the bamboo shadow on the paper window and spread out his pen and ink to draw his favorite bamboo.

"The autumn wind passed by the window last night." He saw the breeze passing through the bamboo leaves and saw the bamboos swaying.

Banqiao's bamboo painting theory is that he has "no idea". He did not learn from a teacher. He painted bamboo mostly from the sunlight and moonlight on paper windows and painted walls, and directly adopted the natural method.

In response to Su Dongpo's statement that "you have a clear mind", Banqiao emphasized that you have "no knowledge of the bamboo" in your mind, and you must "have no bamboo in your mind".

The two theories may seem contradictory, but in essence they are similar. They emphasize the high degree of integration of conception and skilled skills, but Banqiao's method should be "like thunder and thunder, and vegetation growing in anger."

In Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone Picture", the bamboos are drawn with thin and straight shapes, standing tall and straight into the sky. Each of its leaves has a different expression. The ink is watery and has different shades, which realistically represents bamboo.

texture.

In terms of composition, Banqiao coordinated the positional relationship between bamboo and stone and the text of the poem.

The slender and rustic beauty of bamboo sets off another style of stone.

This clump of plants becomes the ideal phantom of Banqiao.

Regarding Banqiao’s bamboo, even Jin Nong, the leader of the “Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou”, lamented that compared to the paintings of the two of them, the bamboo he painted was not as forest-like as Banqiao’s.

2. Gao Qipei’s flower and bird fans are created with his fingers.

Gao Qipei's finger-painted fan has two birds with elegant shapes, while the poem on the peony flowers says, "It is also similar to the rouge painting of peonies. The sun had already risen when the painting was done. It turns out that the flowers come from the country of Fusang, and people are not allowed to look at the moon."

, the poem is quite interesting.

What is surprising is that the picture suddenly appears with extremely beautiful peonies, which are extremely beautiful. Instead, they have the aura of self-destruction and unbearable decay after a beautiful scenery.

The peonies in full bloom exude decadent beauty in the spring breeze.

Gao Qipei (1672-1734), whose courtesy names were Wei Zhi and Wei San, and whose names were Qieyuan, Nancun and Shuqiedaoren.

The ancestors moved from Shandong to Tieling, Liaoning, where they served under the Xianghuang Banner of the Han Army and served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

He was the teacher of Luo Pin, the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou".

Gao Qipei is good at painting with his fingers, and the "finger painting" he created has become an important genre in painting.

In his later years, Gao Qipei's finger painting reputation spread far and wide to North Korea, but he still painted "his nails were so damaged that they sucked blood, and he burned candles frequently every day".

In the eighth year of Yongzheng (AD 1730), he responded to the imperial edict and painted in the Ruyi Pavilion of Yuanmingyuan for three years, creating fine silk paintings such as "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River".

Gao Bing's "Finger Painting Theory" records that Gao Qipei once took a portrait of Lu Shuntu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and painted a standing portrait that was as tall as a real person.

After the painting was completed, Lu Shuntu was ecstatic and said: "What a wonderful skill! What a great advancement!" 3. Jin Nong Jin Nong (1687-1764), courtesy name Shoumen, nicknamed Dongxin, was born in Hangzhou and was known as the Eight Freaks

head.

He was erudite and talented. He began painting after the age of fifty and remained poor throughout his life.

He is good at flowers and birds, landscapes and figures, especially plum blossoms.

The shapes of his paintings are ancient and simple, with sophisticated layouts and innovative ideas. His works include "Dark Plum Blossom Picture", "Moon Flower Picture" and so on.

He created a unique official script style, which he called "lacquer script", which is also interesting.

4. Li Wei Li Wei (1686--1762), whose courtesy name was Zongyang, also known as Futang and Chao Daoren, was born in Xinghua, Jiangsu.

In the 50th year of Kangxi's reign, he passed the imperial examination. In the 53rd year of Kangxi's reign, he was invited to serve as a painter in the inner court. He was excluded because he did not want to be bound by the orthodox painting style.

In the third year of Qianlong's reign, he was selected as the magistrate of Teng County, Shandong Province, and returned because he disobeyed the officials.

After Liangge was demoted, he went to Yangzhou to make a living by selling paintings.

He has the closest relationship with Zheng Xie, so Zheng You sells paintings in Yangzhou and grows old with Li.

In his early years, he learned landscape painting from his fellow villager Wei Lingcang and inherited Huang Gongwang's path. When he was serving in the imperial court, he studied painting with Jiang Ting, and his painting techniques were exquisite. Later, he sought advice from Gao Qipei, a master of finger painting, and further advocated freehand brushwork.

In Yangzhou, he was inspired by Shi Tao's brushwork, so he painted with broken brushes and splashed ink. His style changed drastically, and he formed his own unique style of free and easy blending of ink and ink. He liked to write long inscriptions and postscripts on the paintings, with uneven handwriting.

The picture is very rich, and his works have a great influence on the flower and bird paintings of the late Qing Dynasty.

5. Huang Shen Huang Shen (after 1687-1770), also known as Gongmao, also known as Gongshou, also known as Yinglaiao, Donghai Buyi, etc., was born in Ninghua, Fujian.

He is good at freehand brushwork of figures, with occasional paintings of flowers, birds, and landscapes, with bold strokes and bold colors.

There is "Jiaohu Poetry Collection" extant.

He is one of the versatile painters among the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou".

Huang Shen's freehand figures create a unique style that incorporates cursive script into paintings.

When Huaisu's cursive script came to Huang Shen, it became "completely bald, intermittent and intermittent," and the writing style became more bold and bold, and the style became more bold and unbridled.

With such wild cursive brushwork in painting, the strokes are "as fast as the wind," the atmosphere is majestic, and the stippling is like the wind blowing fallen leaves.

Huang Shen's figure paintings mostly draw from stories about gods and immortals, and depict historical figures and real-life civilian lives such as woodcutters, fishermen, refugees and beggars, which brought a new breath to figure paintings in the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Shen's character album "Lady Admiring Flowers" depicts a beautiful woman obsessed with flowers.

The "Western Mountain Crane" is based on Su Shi's "Crane Flying Pavilion". There is a white crane standing on the right side of the picture. The old man seems to be looking up at the flying crane in the sky, and the boy is holding a flower basket, but he is enjoying himself.
