What a beautiful presentation of your passion Erping. You are truly a Renaissance man of true love for your culture and country, beyond politics and seperatism. Bravo.. I love the Ming artists, especially Shen Zhou 😊🙏
Erping, Thank you for gracing this planet w/ a small piece of the arts from ancient China & Mongolia. We are not informed of eastern arts in school here in the west. I look forward to your next VID.
I am lucky that I have a great painting by Tang Yin 'Taigong goes Fishing as told by the ancients'. Inscribed with a poem by Wen Zhengming. The painting fooled me for a while because is is much too good to be by Zhengming but the running script is unmistakably his. It wasn't until I learned that this was not unusual. The painting is a landscape of mountain & water vistas behind an old scholar in a robe sitting on a bamboo platform among the blossoms beside the river dressed in a robe. He is fishing with a bamboo rod & line but without a hook but holds a fish gently in his hand. The single seal is a combination of both names. I'm not so good with translating running script but the substance of the poem is obvious. I would like to understand it fully one day. The landscape is so well done that you can crop a few inches of the background and blow it up to picture size and it is a work of art in itself. A quality shared with the great impressionists, where you could enlarge a single chair and frame it as a painting. Tang Yin has made the different outcrops of trees along the mountains so realistic in the mist and they even reflect in the water below. The bamboo rod is painted with a sweep and signature joins in one motion. The old mans face is very lightly coloured as are the backs of his hands. His hair is up and his beard and eyebrows are impossibly wiry. The blossoms show the season. I am astounded every time I look at it. Tang Yin is under-rated. If that is possible.
Zhao mengfu and Shenzhou. zmy Chinese textbook, printed in Taiwan, had a story on Shenzhou, humble Shenzhou, was the title. He was so humle sometimes people didn't realise he was a remownwed master painter.
I remember in the 80s and 90s there was still a time of the considerate scholar gentleman. Now it's overshadowed by political China and consumption culture.
Great video and just in time for my tea.
