First of all, the use of pen and ink is an important manifestation of painting. In his paintings, Wu Daozi expresses the distance, height and outline of mountains and rivers with the shades of pen and ink and the changes of brush strokes. The bamboo, stone and water in the painting are all represented by Wu Daozi's pen and ink.
For example, the bamboo in the painting, Wu Daozi outlines the outline and texture of bamboo with pen and ink, outlines the outline and texture of bamboo leaves with light ink, and depicts the nodes and branches of bamboo with thick ink, which fully shows the shape and texture of bamboo.
Secondly, the design of composition is also an important embodiment of Zhu Mo map. Wu Daozi used symmetry, hierarchy and perspective in his paintings, showing the sense of space and hierarchy of landscape.
For example, the bamboo and rocks in the painting are all represented by symmetrical and well-defined designs. The distribution of bamboo and rocks presents a symmetrical shape, which keeps the balance of the picture. At the same time, the layering and perspective of bamboo and rocks enhance the sense of space in the picture, and the viewer can feel the distance and height of the objects in the picture.
In addition, Wu Daozi also used freehand brushwork to express the natural agility of mountains and rivers in the Map of Zhu Mo. Freehand brushwork is a form of Chinese painting, which emphasizes the painter's personality and emotion and pays attention to the freedom and fluency of pen and ink. The brushwork and composition design in Wu Daozi's paintings all reflect his freehand brushwork style.
For example, the bamboo and rocks in the painting are all Wu Daozi's freehand brushwork, without too many details and embellishments, which fully shows the natural agility of the picture.
In a word, Wu Daozi's "Ink Bamboo Map" adopts the application of pen and ink and the design of composition, thus showing the distance, height, outline and natural agility of the landscape. The application of these forms of expression makes Zhu Mo a classic of China landscape painting, which has a far-reaching influence on later landscape painters.
