Xisai Mountain before the white egrets fly freely, the river, plump mandarin fish swimming happily, floating in the water in the peach is so bright and full.
An old man in the bank, wearing a green bamboo hat raincoat, wearing a green raincoat, braved the wind and rain, leisurely and leisurely fishing, he was fascinated by the beautiful spring scenery, even the rain did not go home.
Wang Wei, the ancestor of Nanzong painting, thought: "Ink painting is the best". The reason is: "or a picture at a distance, write a scene of a thousand miles." (Passed for Wang Wei's "Landscape Tactics") That is to say, it is light and far away, full of aftertaste. Only when the clouds and fog are confused can we get hazy and indifferent feelings. At this time, the boundaries of all sides in space have been broken, the distance between far and near has been blurred, and the boundless streamer of history and reality has melted invisibly. This is the vastness of psychological time and space, and it is a wonderful realm interwoven by the depth of understanding and the breadth of imagination.
There is poetry and painting here.
Zhang Zhihe, who is generally behind Wang Wei, is such a poetess, who writes poetry with painting. Few of his works have been handed down. There were five original songs in his Fisherman's Songs, but the other four songs were all overshadowed by the glory of "Egrets flying in front of Mount Cisse". The style is fresh, the charm is noble, the language is simple, and the most precious thing is to show the indifferent mind of the high-ranking literati who are stained with mud.
Zhang Zhihe and Tang Suzong were sent to the Imperial Academy for imperial edict. They were demoted because of their work, and after they were pardoned, they gave up their official career. They wandered between the mountains and rivers around Taihu Lake for a long time. He is not only good at music, but also familiar with calligraphy and painting. Because the scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River has given him rich artistic nutrition, the natural scenery with dripping ink and misty waves has been internalized into the image of a poet, and after a long period of accumulation, his style of writing poetry with picturesque meaning has been formed, especially the style of Nanzong painters, which is indeed his own "smoky fisherman" style. "Smoke Wave" is stained with such a "fisherman", and the high sentiment and far-reaching meaning of "fisherman" adds charm to "Smoke Wave". "Fisherman" and wandering in the "smoke wave", his original broad-minded nature will naturally be drawn away with the emptiness of the streamer, and he will get "the air of heaven and earth" (Shi Tao's "The Picture of the Violet Grass Pavilion").
Zhang Zhihe: Fisherman (Egrets fly in front of Mount Cisse)
?
Since Zhang Zhihe is a poet and painter full of lofty sentiments and far-reaching ideas, he is good at combining the temporality of poetry with the spatiality of painting. There are many things to feel and scenes to write, but in his works, he can cut a corner from the mountains and rivers that span thousands of miles, that is, in front of the Cisse Mountain in old Xing Wu County; Take a moment from the changing scene of the sunrise and sunset, and the moment when "the first moment is wonderful, but the second moment can't be wonderful" (Wang Shizhen: Biography of Poems by Poets and Friends) is the moment when the egrets just flew from the paddy fields and the plump mandarin fish were swimming in the Qingxi in the peach blossom flood season. Even more coincidentally, in the smoke wave of the oblique wind and drizzle, there is just a fisherman, wearing a green hat and a green grass coir, fishing in the water. In this way, the picture in front of Mount Cisse shows the dynamic of being full of life and pursuing nature as its spiritual sustenance because it has infiltrated Zhang Zhihe's poetic sentiment.
Mount Cisse stands tall, but in front of me, an egret flies by and the mountain seems to fly with it.
The peach blossom floating on the water is wet, which is different from the flower swaying in the wind. However, when it meets the clear and green color unique to the water waves in Xing Wu, it is not only the water flowing, but also the peach blossom floating on the water flowing, and even the fat mandarin fish splashing around.
Green bamboo hat, green hemp fiber. A "fisherman" dressed in this way, although apparently sitting on a boat and floating, exists with a fixed focus on the screen, even if he fishes, he is still leisurely and slowly, with little movement. Isn't this basically static? Right. Don't forget, however, that at this moment, there was a gust of oblique wind and a drizzle, and the figure could not help but appear hazy and erratic. Flying with the egrets, flowing with the peach blossom water, and even reminiscent of the delicious fat mandarin fish.
The beauty of the combination of motion and static is, in the final analysis, to write God in form. Zong Bing, an early China painting theorist in the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, said long ago, "What comes first?" (Preface to Landscape) He thinks that the master of landscape painting should be able to fully show the spirit of landscape, which is actually the spirit of the hand deeply contained in it. As a space art painting, it takes all the changeless things in the world and stays at a relatively static point. (For this song "Fisherman's Song", it is to choose the smoke wave fishing in a specific moment in front of Mount Cisse), but in essence, it is quiet and not quiet. This is precisely because a master painter "writes his shape, he must convey his spirit, convey his spirit, and write his heart" (Chen Yu: "Talking about words"). The so-called "writing the mind" actually means observing the movement from the stillness, writing the stillness with the movement, and combining the time art with the space art, so as to obtain the "state outside the painting" (Chao Yi Tao has the language of "poetry conveys the meaning outside the painting") and convey the god of the poetic realm.
The vivid expression of Fisherman's Song is not achieved overnight. Even a short poem, there is a process of spring clouds stretching. First, the "flying heron" is used to show the state of dust and dust, then the "flowing water" is used to spread the mind, and the more finishing touch is the ending sentence "the oblique wind and drizzle don't have to return". Through the description of the fisherman described by the author, the poet's inner confession is deeply and decisively displayed, not "not wanting to return" but "not needing to return". This is obviously the poet's self-oath, determined to live a free life between mountains and rivers.
Birds flying, water flowing, fish fat, bamboo hat and hemp fiber, oblique wind and drizzle, all of which are feminine and elegant. But surprisingly, the word "don't need" popped up, and the pride hidden in this "smoker"' s seclusion was suddenly revealed. Thus, in the misty water, "in the hazy, the ideal character hangs over everything." (Coleridge comments on Shakespeare's poems)
This is the vivid acme that Zhang Zhihe achieved by integrating the artistic functions of poetry and painting.
De Yu was in the inner court, and he saw Emperor Xianzong * * visiting Xuanzhenzi's "Fishing Song", but he couldn't sigh. Yu Shi is old with Xuanzhenzi, and I heard his name early. I also feel that the Lord rewards different talents, and I think so. Every dream relic is now won, and if it meets a good treasure. Alas, the fisherman's father is virtuous and his name is hidden, but he is wise and successful, but he is famous if he is not mysterious and true, and he is obvious and has nothing to do. What is the ratio of Yan Guang? Between the two sons, there is plenty. ([Tang] Li Deyu's "Xuanzhenzi Fishing Songs")
Zhang Zhihe's "Fisherman's Song", "Egrets fly in front of the Cisse Mountain", has a long history. Dongpo tried to use his sentences in "Partridge Sky" and "Huanxisha", but his sentences were not as good as the original words. (Liu Xizai's "Art Outline" Volume 4)
Just write a few sentences about fishermen's self-enjoyment, without the trouble, and there are people who are not free on the other side. Hidden words, hidden, pen and ink, beyond the dust. ([Qing] Huang Su's Selected Poems of Liaoyuan)
