Move east and return west on the screen.
1: Introduction
Recently, I wrote an article about "going to the east and going back to the west" for the art magazine of People's Daily. The inner meaning of "going east" is to go east to Japan to find and study Chinese mainland's traditional culture left on that island country. In the first millennium, many Japanese cultures were bred from China's mother, such as mineral colors and painting techniques brought from the Silk Road. After several innovations, it has now become the mainstream painting form of Japanese art. Papermaking in the Han Dynasty spread to Japan. They use local materials to process, develop and manufacture the paper that people like today. Around the field of painting, the Japanese also made top-class brocade paper, which is flexible and white in texture and excellent in hair color, and is a good material for painting. Here, what this article wants to introduce in particular is the screen art invented and created by China in Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Zen painting was spread from monks to Japan, and it also experienced many changes and reforms in Japan, forming a special display method "screen painting" that Japanese painters liked to use very much. Historically, the Japanese combined foreign cultural factors with their own island spirit, and created more exquisite, more durable and more popular products with their unique delicate, meticulous and serious attitude, which can not help but make the world sit up and take notice of the Japanese intelligence and ingenuity. Compared with the production of painting materials today, the quality and fineness are far behind the development of Japan, which is a pity. This paper analyzes Japan's advantages in material production technology, and will also urge itself not to lie on the original excellent cultural heritage. Strive to revitalize our cultural undertakings, develop and update more exquisite material products, and not be left behind by Japan's existing scientific and technological level.
2. The history of the screen
Screen first appeared in the Han Dynasty. It is a kind of furniture used for wind protection in buildings, so it is also called a barrier. Many historical TV dramas we are playing on TV now include scenes where the screen appears as props. A screen can separate a large space into several spaces. In the early days, birds, animals and folk patterns were decorated on the screen by means of relief, painting and mosaic. The screen is not only used as a partition, but also a symbol of majesty and power in the emperor's ceremony. It is recorded in Historical Records that "the son of heaven stands on the screen" means that when the emperor receives the minister, there is a screen behind him as an ornament. This form also influenced modern Japan. When the Japanese emperor receives foreign VIPs, he often uses a screen with golden walls as his back shirt. On the one hand, it shows respect for the guests, on the other hand, it also shows the luxury of the ceremony, which is probably learned from the Han Dynasty in China.
With the change of dynasties, the history of screens is also changing and developing. We have seen many paintings in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and the pictures have been used as props in the painting background. At that time, screens were installed in the halls of large families, which were used for shelter and decoration. Some artists should be invited to draw colorful auspicious pictures on it, making the screen a luxury decoration, and at this time, the attainment of painting the screen has reached its peak. The "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" painted by Gu in the Five Dynasties is divided into five sections in the form of screens, with scenes such as listening to songs, watching dances, resting, playing and seeing off guests. The pictures described by the author in this work are closely related to the culture at that time.
Throughout the history of China screens, most of them appeared in the form of handicrafts. There are not many painting records left by famous artists in the form of screens, and the screens appearing in many paintings are only props. When I was in college, I copied Zhou Wenju's "Heavy Screen Painting Chess". The figure in front is playing chess, and the background is a two-story screen with scenery painted on it. However, the ink painting on the screen is not the theme of the screen, but a foil. This kind of painting has appeared many times in history. Different from the Japanese who regard the screen as an easel and rub it on it. Therefore, most of the paintings in the Chinese History Museum are scroll paintings by famous artists of past dynasties.
At present, screens are rarely used as the carrier of painting in China. Some painters paint with several identical boards, which are put together in parallel during the exhibition. It looks like a screen, but it is essentially different from the well-behaved screen painting in history. It can be found from the internet that there are many manufacturers and enterprises that make screens, but most of them sell handicraft screens, which have not developed into screens that provide painters with drawing boards. Compared with the island country of Japan, it is a pity to use screens in painting.
Screen spread to Japan, forming a large-scale screen painting. The Japan Pavilion of the World Expo exhibited three national treasures of Japanese screen painting, namely, Raytheon, Four Seasons Flower-and-Bird Screen, and Old Mito Partition Fan, which showed a glorious page of Japanese screen painting. The history of Japanese screen painting was brought back from the Tang Dynasty in China, accompanied by envoys and monks from the Tang Dynasty who came to China to study and seek dharma. Very suitable for the living environment in Japan, there are many barriers and partitions between Japanese houses. Similar to the interior decoration of residential culture in Han Dynasty, they painted on the barrier. In early Japan, it was called "Tang painting" because it was based on the paintings of the Tang Dynasty. China's magnificent flower-and-bird paintings in Song Dynasty were also favored by Japanese painters, and many paintings imitating Tang and Song Dynasties appeared. Later, on the basis of Tang and Song painting styles, I added my own aesthetic consciousness, thus giving birth to Japanese screen painting with Yamato painting style. The above two pictures of Fengshen Raytheon, a pair of screens, were the works of Zongda, a famous painter at that time. The Japanese worship the god of nature. The imposing manner of Zongda's Raytheon and Fengshen and the quiet sky in the background form a very solemn decorative effect. His screen painting has always been regarded as a national treasure of Japan.
I visited the screen painting exhibition held by Tokyo National Museum. From Japanese history to the present, several dynasties have left many forms of screen painting in the process of change, including many famous painting schools, such as Lin Painting School and Jian Ye Painting School. Through the efforts of outstanding painters from generation to generation, the Japanese have made this form a symbol of Japanese painting and attracted worldwide attention.
3. Screen painting has formed a display form centered on Japanese painting in modern development.
With the changes and development of history, the form of screen painting has never stopped in the history of Japanese painting. With the reform of Japanese painting after Meiji Restoration, the use of new rock painting tools has become an important part of Japanese painting materials, which has implanted a new style into screen painting. First of all, Japanese painters rely on this relatively fixed size and specification form. Secondly, the convenience of using pictures is also one of the important factors that painters like. The screen can not only open and expand larger pictures, but also be folded and collected into smaller sections, which is very convenient to collect. The screen is very particular about production. It is necessary to install multiple layers of special paper to form a breathable drawing board. Moisture in summer can be inhaled into the board, and it can be spit out from the board when it is dry in autumn and winter. This feature has played a decisive role in Japan's maritime climate, and paintings will not deteriorate due to moisture. Therefore, it is logical that the form of screen is widely circulated in Japan.
China's earliest painter who exhibited in the form of a screen was Mr. Kaii Higashiyama. His masterpiece "Folk Songs" was originally a barrier painting of Zhao Ti Temple in Tang Dynasty, and it was also a kind of screen painting. He used a lot of gold foil and silver foil to spread on the picture, which was more modern and decorative. The dazzling colors of natural minerals such as green and blue can be compared with western oil paintings. The atmospheric picture is blocked by many spaces, which unconsciously brings the viewer into the realm of imagination. We will still leave a deep impression after decades.
For another example, Mr. hirayama ikuo is a friendly envoy of the people of China. He introduced the Silk Road to the Japanese in particular, and at the same time drew many masterpieces of cultural exchange scenes between the East and the West with the Silk Road as the background. Yakutski in Nara shows a huge screen painting "Xuanzang's Learning from the Scriptures" completed by Hirayama in 20 years. This painting has two important inspirations for us. First of all, the painter used a historical scroll to describe the legendary story that happened on the ancient road in the western regions thousands of years ago, reflecting the indomitable determination of Xuanzang monks in the face of snow-capped mountains and deserts. Secondly, Mr. Hirayama painted natural rocks with strong colors, special painting techniques, ingenious composition and macroscopic scenes, which showed us the charm of modern barrier painting.
Last year, Mr. NAKAJIMA CHINAMI of Tokyo University of the Arts held a retirement art exhibition in June+10, 5438. He was my former painting guidance professor, and I was invited to attend, so I went to Tokyo specially. He used a series of 30 screen human bodies as a report on his 40-year teaching career, which had a very special shock to the audience. In the exhibition, I interviewed my teacher. He started this preparation decades ago. The screen he used was very beautiful, and he had special requirements for the bone group, wood, paper and mounting of the screen, which was provided to him by a special screen manufacturer according to his needs. In the painting, Mr. Nakajima uses rock ink to hook the line and Hu powder as the base. He said: "The material of the screen is very expensive, so the painting is very careful. Sometimes the thread has to be hooked six or seven times and the color has to be dyed dozens of times. From his screen paintings, I understand the significance of coming from tradition and integrating into the contemporary.
There are three exhibitions in Japan every year, which represent the first-class level of Japanese painting, including many screen paintings. For example: Mr. Toshi Utsumi from Tahara, Mr. Takayama Tatsuo, Hideo Takeda, Kenhiko Kwan and so on. These exhibitions show that screen painting plays a very important role in contemporary Japanese art.
4: End
Historically, screens have their own names and relative sizes, including blast furnace screens, Li Xiu screens and gold foil screens. And their sizes are divided into two screens, four screens, six screens, six screens and so on. Using screens to display paintings has special methods and skills in viewing angle and viewing position, which makes the three-dimensional sense of space and environment form an organic whole.
The biggest feature of the screen is that it can be folded back and forth, and the instrument that can be opened and closed in the middle is called butterfly fan. China's craft screen should be called "hinge", which is a great invention in ancient China.
I have given lectures on screen painting in many universities in China. When I show my students how to make a disc fan, everyone calls it a "magical process". Japanese disk fan is a very delicate, meticulous and serious technology, and the paper is special, which can keep the screen for thousands of years without being damaged.
This time Gome published a book, I used my own picture as the carrier to describe the work "Watch" with rock colors to express the customs of Xinjiang. I hope that through my own efforts, I can inherit the screen painting form invented by my ancestors.
