Pingting between the Fingers: Chen Hongshou's Ancient Painting Realm (the Authenticity of Literati Paintings)
by Zhu Liangzhi
About This Novel
Literary painting, also known as "literary painting", does not refer to a specific identity, such as being limited to paintings painted by knowledgeable literati, but paintings with a "literary spirit" or "literary spirit". "Literati Qi" is what people today call "literati consciousness". Dasu refers to a consciousness that has a certain ideological nature, rich humanistic care, and a special sense of life. It is a consciousness that is far away from political or moral subordination and belongs to the reality of life. Therefore, in a certain sense, it can be said that literati painting is "humanistic painting" - painting with the pursuit of humanistic values. This series of works, through the observation of sixteen painters since the Yuan Dynasty, looks at the inner trajectory of literati painting's pursuit of the "authenticity" of life. This book is one in this series. This book starts from "high antiquity" and leads readers to experience Chen Hongshou's otherworldly artistic realm and life experience displayed in "Awakening Stone", "Taste", "Fragrance" and "Hangu".
