I have seen some before. take a look ...

Under the influence of politics, economy, ideology and culture at that time, China's paintings in Qing Dynasty showed a specific style of the times. Scroll painting has continued the trend since Yuan and Ming Dynasties, with literati painting prevailing, landscape painting flourishing and ink painting freehand brushwork prevailing. Literati painting presents two trends: worshipping the past and innovating. They have different pursuits in subject matter, ideological interest, pen and ink skills and so on, forming many styles and schools. Palace painting also made great progress in Kanggan period, showing a new look of the former courtyard. The achievements of folk painting are most prominent in New Year pictures and printmaking, showing an unprecedented prosperity. The historical process of painting development in Qing dynasty is related to the development and change of the whole society, and it can also be divided into three periods: early, middle and late.

[Early painting]

Shunzhi to the early years of Kangxi. During this period, literati landscape painting flourished and formed two completely different artistic pursuits. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Four Kings Painting School, which inherited Dong Qichang's mantle, took antique as its purpose, was valued by the royal family and occupied an orthodox position in the painting world. A group of Jiangnan painters in the Ming Dynasty, represented by "Eight Scholars in Jinling", "Four Monks" (Shi Tao, Zhu Da, Xi Shi and Jian Jiang, collectively called Shi Tao, Badashanren, Hong Ren and Xi Shi) and Xin 'an Painting School, expressed their feelings for landscape and painting, and had the spirit of pioneering and innovating in art.

The Four Kings School mainly refers to Wang Shimin, Wang Jian, Wang Yi, Wang, and sometimes Yun, which are collectively called "Four Kings and Five Clouds" or "Six Schools in the Early Qing Dynasty". Most of them take Dong Qichang's artistic thought as the golden rule, devote themselves to learning from ancient times, admire Yuan Sijia, emphasize pen and ink techniques, and pursue peace and interest. Because of their prominent social status, extensive friends and numerous students, the "Four Kings" have a great influence among literati, and their artistic purport is appreciated by legalists. Therefore, they are regarded as the orthodox school of painting, which influenced them until modern times. They have accumulated profound skills of pen and ink in artistic practice, and also summed up some regular experiences in pen and ink, composition, verve and artistic conception, especially developed the technique of dry pen dyeing ink layer by layer, which enriched the artistic expression forms of Chinese painting. However, they ignore learning from nature, avoid real life and lack concrete feelings, which makes most of their works monotonous and empty, lacking vitality and originality, which hinders them from achieving higher achievements. Among the "Four Kings", Wang Shimin, Wang Jian and Wang paid more attention to pen and ink, especially to Huang. Wang is called the leader. Wang Yi can also observe nature, is compatible with various techniques and has a variety of shapes. Later people called him the leader of Yushan Sect. From the middle of Qing Dynasty, the Four Kings School had a great influence on the ruling and opposition parties. Living in Lou Dongpai are Ding Huang, Tang Dai, Dong Bangda, Fang Shishu, Zhang Zongcang and Qian Weicheng. Yushan School mainly includes Li Shichuo, Song, Cai Yuan and Gu. In addition, there are "Little Four Kings" (Wang Yu, Wang Su, Wang Chen and Wang Jiu) and "Last Four Kings" (Wang Sanxi, Wang Tingzhou, Wang, Wang).

At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, a group of adherents painters gathered in the south of the Yangtze River showed their artistic pursuit contrary to the orthodox painting school. Gong Xian is the head of the Eight Schools of Jinling, including Fan Yin, Gao Cen, Zou Zhe, Wu Hong, Ye Xin, Xie Xun and Hu Yi. They live in seclusion in the mountains, are honest and devoted to their duties, and attach importance to learning from nature. They mainly describe the scenery around Nanjing, reveal the beauty of mountains and rivers, express their true feelings, learn from their predecessors extensively, and strive to break through the routine and create new ideas with solid skills, although they have different styles. At the same time, Chen Zhuo, Wang Yi, Liu, packer and others are also famous in Nanjing.

Cloud Shou Ping: Landscape Axis

"Four Monks" refer to Shi Tao, Zhu Da, Xi Shi and Jian Jiang. The first two are descendants of the Ming imperial clan, and the last two are adherents of the Ming dynasty, both of whom have strong national consciousness. They express their feelings of life experience and depression through painting, and pin their passion on the mountains and rivers of their old country. In art, he advocates "borrowing the past to create the present", opposes Chen Xiangyin, attaches importance to life feelings, and emphasizes expressing his own spirit. They broke through the barriers of antique painting at that time, created a surprisingly bold, open-minded and unique painting style, revitalized the painting at that time and had a far-reaching impact on future generations. Among them, Shi Tao and Zhu Da made the most remarkable achievements. Shi Tao is the most creative painter in the early Qing Dynasty. He is famous for his unique landscape, novel scenery, bold and novel composition, changeable pen and ink, and high-spirited painting style. Zhu Da is famous for his flower-and-bird paintings, inheriting the tradition of Chen Chun and Xu Wei, and developing the method of splash-ink freehand brushwork. Works are often lyrical, using symbolic, implied and exaggerated methods to create a strange image to express cynicism and the pain of national destruction. Brush and ink washing, simple and ethereal composition, fantastic scenes, cool and handsome style, reached the artistic realm of concise pen. It has a great influence on the later Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics and modern freehand flower-and-bird painting. The landscape has changed from yellow to change, with the real scene as the powder book, depicting heavy mountains and numerous waters, dense but not crowded, dyed with thirsty pen, thick but not stagnant, magnificent. Together with Shi Tao, he is called the "Second Division", and together with Cheng Zhengqi, he is called "Hill" (Taoist Qingxi). Jian Jiang's landscape is dominated by Ni Zan, who painted many famous mountains and rivers, especially the original Huangshan Mountain. The composition is simple, the mountains and valleys are strange and stubborn, the dry pen is thirsty for ink and the order is steep, the realm is desolate and quiet, full of fresh and quiet feeling, which truly shows the quality of famous mountains. Together with Shi Tao and Wang Zhirui, he is called Huangshan School, and together with Cha Shibiao, Sun Yi and Wang Zhirui, he is called Haiyang School, forming Xin 'an School.

Shi Tao: The Landscape Book is a private collection in the United States.

In the eleventh year of Shunzhi (1654), Juren made friends with Shi Tao and learned from each other in painting. Shi Tao's early landscape paintings were influenced by him to some extent, while his later Huangshan paintings were influenced by Shi Tao. Therefore, both Shi Tao and Mei Qing have the reputation of "Huangshan School".

From the early Qing Dynasty to Kangxi (1662 ~ 1722), there were still some painting schools and painters, and their own abilities were still good. Yun's boneless flower paintings, which are similar in shape but not in spirit, are fresh and elegant in style and have a wide influence, and are called Changzhou School or Nantian School. Yuan Jiang's boundary paintings are exquisite in structure and magnificent. He was a famous frontier painter in Qing Dynasty.

The period of Kang, Yong and Gan was a period of social stability and prosperity in Qing Dynasty, and painting also showed a prosperous scene. Beijing and Yangzhou have become the two centers of painting. Beijing court painting was once active, rich in content and diverse in forms. In the developed commercial and economic areas of Yangzhou, the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou appeared, forming a new artistic trend.

Palace painting in Qing dynasty, during the years of Kangxi (1662 ~ 1722) and Qianlong (1736 ~ 1795), with the unification of the whole country and the consolidation of political power, the royal family not only recruited some professional painters to worship the court, but also recruited some literati painters to serve it in disguise. In addition to setting up institutions such as Ruyi Pavilion to accommodate royal painters, the palace also adopts the form of "South Study Room" to recruit painters with bachelor's degrees and court positions. Quite a few bachelors and courtiers have actually become court painters. They often draw works that serve the purpose or contribute. Most of these works have the word "minister", which are collectively called palace paintings.

Painters from all over the world also poured in, selling paintings and performing arts, among which Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics is the most famous group of painters. "Eight Eccentrics" is not limited to eight people, but represents a group of painters with distinctive artistic personality and unique style. They inherited the banner of Shi Tao and Zhu Da, attached importance to the feelings of life and emphasized the spirit of expression. Most of their works are based on plum, orchid, bamboo and stone, and they are good at painting with splash ink. They are profound in thought, passionate in feelings, eclectic in form, wild and strange, unique in painting and innovative. The main painters are Jin Nong, Huang Shen, Wang, Zheng Xie, Li, Gao Xiang, Hua Yan, Gao, Bian Shoumin, Min Zhen, Chen Zhuan and others. Most of these painters have similar life experiences and social experiences, or their careers are frustrated, relegated, or both fame and fortune, and they are well dressed all their lives; Or born in poverty, selling paintings for a living, they have a personal experience of corrupt officialdom, cold world and the sufferings of the people, and their personality and behavior are also unique, or pedantic, or wild, or arrogant, or withdrawn, and they are attached to painting, thus forming an artistic "strangeness." They take plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, stone, wild flowers, fruits and vegetables as themes, and use fables to compare lofty character, aloof character and wild interest, so that their works have profound ideological content and stirring feelings. In terms of artistic form, Chen Chun, Xu Wei and Shi Tao have inherited the tradition of freehand brushwork in ink painting, which is eclectic, bold and unrestrained, free and unrestrained, and further developed the technique of breaking the pen and splashing ink, forming a distinctive and unique style. Among the "Eight Eccentrics", the landscape of Mo Mei bamboo characters, the orchid bamboo of Zheng Xie, the Mo Mei of Wang He and Li, the freehand brushwork flowers of Shan Li, the figures of Huang Shen and Hua Yan's small freehand brushwork flowers and birds are the most outstanding achievements, which have a far-reaching influence on later generations.
