In the Chinese landscape painting creation aspect, painter ZhangWeiming always on in line with one kind rigid with the mentality whichnamely decides, carries on unremittingly is exploring. Some commontheory topics I the oneself has carried on the elaboration in otherarticles, here by the Chinese landscape painting art creation inoriginal opinion, with the Chinese landscape painting analysisindividual standpoint experience, has made further asking with ZhangWeiming.

China: Although listens to you to speak you many times to Chineselandscape painting correlation some cognition and the tentative plan,but now I or want reto carry on a time of more definite discussion onthe traditional Chinese painting several important aspects.

First takes a painter's question. I thought a painter should be anartist which is worthy of the name has the thought, he only then cancreate has "the meaning form", specially a Chinese scenery painter, isshould realize this point. Because the traditional Chinese paintingmost is fastidious "was mad the rhyme vivid" "is superb" the highlevel boundary which "the ideal condition" and so on in the humanitiestutelage produces. How do you explain this question?

Open: "Generally speaking, took the custom picture which decides asthe drawing the lifelong occupation, the painting occasionally hasseveral also to be able to achieve the superb boundary. But, mustenable its work most all to have this feeling, that nearly is notimpossible. Only if picture from own repairing for reaches higherauthorities to the inactivity boundary, the painting is inevitably outof the ordinary. Then its picture boundary what worried is not the penpen is superb?"

China; Which important contents continues the tradition including,which contents but should spell abandons?

Open: First I thought inherits regarding the tradition is not thegoal, the goal lies in the model. Is for continues in the traditionalfoundation to innovate. Says by this, with repairs regarding theChinese all previous dynasties drawing master's mature aspect skillfor all is needs thoroughly to study. As for these gradual attempt,some already was walks the tortuous path by the time proof, is notunnecessary to carry on the repetition, regarding this I supplementedagain, that kind of attempt abandons the ancient good tradition tocreate a group person in addition, actually in a way, is walking againthe old route which the ancient starts from the beginning, starts fromzero to try to find out truly too is silly, but we study the ancientare for the station on the ancient shoulder.

China: How only then can achieve in the Chinese landscape paintingcreation namely inherits the tradition, also does not have theimitation the trace. How in other words can imitate old ways but not泥古.

Open: This question said very simple, starts very is actuallydifficult. Generally has two ways, one first copys the ancient work,achieves resembles, then the silent picture ancient work, is called"the back to be near", then asks through the sketch and the naturecomparison to change. Two is massive looked ancient work, widespreadreads the picture to discuss, the prose and so on, chooses severalmasters' works with emphasis, instead makes a round trip "reads" thepicture, has a thorough understanding it. Tries near it, does not askthe superficial knowledge to resemble, seeks divine help to resemble,asks the nature with. Simultaneously unifies the sketch nature,naturally results in the change. I favor latter.

China: Talks about the words, you use the line to be more, speciallythe center uses the pen, this is your characteristic. But, I sawpresent very many people create work own individuality in theapplication 积墨 method, how only then can let 积墨 the shapesurvive 灵动 the gas?

Open: The line is the traditional Chinese painting skeleton. The greatsize painting, the single pure water ink is very easy to grasp.Becomes "the ink pig" on the paper. Small category Shui Moduo butactually not hiner. Actually, the good ink and wash painting also mustbe fastidious 骨法 uses the pen. "没骨画" does not have by nomeans 骨力, but was hides bone Yu Mozhong, in the ink had 骨力,again accumulated dyes again also in steps with 灵动, but did notlike randomly spreads randomly wipes the paralysis on the paper rottenink, such gave person's feeling is the ash, the internal organs, ischaotic.

China: Some website some people comment your picture to say that, youare win by the immortal gas. Friend of mine certainly incompletelyapprove. They believed, you although have carried on the long-termstudy and the research to the Chinese humanities philosophy, but yourpicture or by the pure drawing condition, or said stands in the puredrawing standpoint. Drawing technique, skill also similarly in picturecomplete demonstration. How do you look at this view?

Open: They only were for with many other types, the style works docompare, have enumerated me the picture which had this aspect to feel.A picture not impossible life or only draws one kind of picture in astage. Now the painting world and even the ancient times had cheng Zhecertainly is not "a move of goods immortal, ate the world". I say amfirmly opposed that, only depends on a picture the duplicationquantity to do to unfold, or paints pictures for a lifetime.

China: Moreover, in recent years Yangliuqing publishing housepublication you individual large-scale 画集, although some workshave displayed south the scenery beautiful favor, but also has in themiddle of certain versions large work, Taishan will describe sublimelyis great 幛, but or will be able to see in more big pictures, youemphatically displayed that to make one produce the infinite daydreamvast sky cloud, drew the culmination and the cloud performance hadachieved people's desires arriving, some people said you tracked down"was born" gas of the one kind of ideology in these works, andreminded your actually, Now or moves towards the market the personwhich looked to the money to be many. This kind of good intentionpersuades you to accept?

Open: Indifferent. Market present situation although many Yuan, but atbest, the market only is enjoys the picture with to gain the painterwork a platform. Enjoys in the picture, various stratification planespublic figure all has, all is by no means in the marketplace theperson. Mostly is weary in these people to the survival competition.The market feels emotion also heartlessly, regardless of you are100.01 million wealthy men, or the small traders and peddlers, onewere not careful has the possibility in the competition to accompanyonly light. Greatly has greatly loses, slightly has the situationwhich slightly loses sometimes occurs. Is precisely because this kindof anxious competing industry condition, the people need the artwarein the spirit, needs to appreciate a marketplace gas fainter artwarein particular, may obtain the mood relaxing, 清逸 under also mayimprove the artistic quality and the tutelage. Too intensely works inthe Japanese big city period of time, can some people go to theimperial sacrifices temple to treat 12 day. If hangs in the home to beable the another person to produce rich imperial sacrifices Italy alsoto draw close to the nature "to be born" work is not very?

China: In the traditional Chinese painting humanities spirit and thephilosophy idea, indeed have this kind of power. I remembered writesthe prose the friend finishes mansion gentleman to comment you to drawlike this "to be born" the road: "The first reading Mr. Zhang Weimingtraditional Chinese painting sense greatly had benefit Italy,appreciates his work, can make one filter impetuously for sinkssteadily, melts complexly is the silencing, opens darkly 牖 is thebright porch, the medical superficiality for takes a broad view tenthousand miles. It both can deliver a grief-stricken 歧路 person joyafter sorrow the world, and can present as a gift is elated withsuccess Mr. cool breeze to stroke the perspiration to awake the godaphorism, this to has an achievement also to have the different modernChinese to say is especially important."

After picture album publication, the people truly by are accustomed toyour landscape painting in to describe Shan Heshui are the key points,but changed the viewpoint the sky and the cloud. Regardless of is thebig wetland and the small Taishan day of lid extravagant placecontrast, or the sunrise peaceful summit of a mountain light leftbetween the cloud to approach has formed the emission condition naturegraceful bearing, moreover also had mighty waves of the lightleisurely fluctuation to reveal in a continuous mountains and riversjiao, all gave person's feeling with you before the landscape paintinghad differently, why thought like this drew, was narrates the cloudday by the landscape painting language or the universe story?

Open: Here has three reasons, one is the Chinese tradition landscapepainting, ancient times the landscape painting less processing skycloud and the sky, probably were in particular the ancient paintingdiscusses often says, had to want to draw becomes an official high, islocked the cloud its waist. The picture on many processed cloud of theravine. Two is, I live foothill of in the Taishan, often ascendsTaishan, takes a broad view looks, under the mountain air mist anddust is muddy, on summit sky deep blue, white clouds, a piece of coolworld. To I which lives in the modern air pollution how can the heartmovement not go to the picture. Three is, I work as the pilot to havethe airborne life experience.

China: Mentions the Chinese drawing and the Chinese humanitiesphilosophy relations, you always have the speech to have to say.Outside many common sayings, wants to hear to concern you to see,again discussed you have what opinion to the Chinese national studiesEastern dissertation? This topic too is big, a concrete aspect saidalso may. For instance relates the traditional Chinese painting aspectthe content.

Open: This question is truly very big, is the entire traditionalChinese painting basic question. I only can say a typical pivot. Isthe traditional Chinese painting "is enjoyable" two characters, thesetwo characters only are by no means speaking of aim at the laborstroke. "Is actually enjoyable" also includes "the labor stroke". This"is enjoyable" is the traditional Chinese painting axle center, mustargue "the words" compared to the people two characters importantmany. The picture traditional Chinese painting first meets is themodelling question, also is the foundation question which the worldvarious pictures plants all exists. The traditional Chinese paintingcalls "应物 to be pictographic" or said is "to the shape writes thegod" the shape, is 写形, draws a portrait. Further was "writes thegod", this was "写形" skilled with extended. Then what is"enjoyable"? Is in "writes the god" in the foundation is "isenjoyable". "写形" and "writes the god" is the describing thescenery relationship of form and spirit. "Enjoyable" not only iswrites the object also writes picture own. If picture oneself repairsto the China traditional culture for is a commoner, what that alsodoes have to be possible to write? Like this looked the Chinatraditional culture aspects the accumulation can come out in scholarpainter words average dew. This is the Chinese humanities philosophyand the traditional Chinese painting inalienable relations. Just likeZheng plank bridge picture bamboo, confident. In eye bamboo of thebamboo non- nature. In chest in bamboo non- eye bamboo, bamboo of alsonon- chest in writing bamboo. The final picture becomes the bamboo,this is the Chinese humanities philosophy repairs for invisiblemanifests in the traditional Chinese painting work. A traditionalChinese painting painter repairs for has deeply is decided his finaldrawing achievement the chip has in a big way. Like this looked "wasenjoyable" some to write.

From essentially looked "is enjoyable" is, 六法 center mentioned "tothe shape writes the god" after "to the god to write the god" thestage. By now drawing again did not fetter for modelling itself,crossed "to the shape wrote the god" the comparatively primary stage.But is melts the picturesqueness own culture quality from the objectmanner with to repair is, writes at fingertips falls the ink, revealedthe object and the picture, the nature and the humanities have drawingof the feeling of gratitude rhyme. By now "the shape" met the naturein among, and was living "the shape", was the rich divine andwonderful spirit and meaning "the shape". Ancient times painter LiangKai "Li Bai Walked along chanting Chart", "Drunkard Attempts", "SixAncestors Chops Bamboo Chart" to be possible to say was the thisaspect words of classics. The so-called shape but under, "to the shapewrites the god", the shape but on "to the god writes the god", also isthe establishment in "writes the god take the shape" as well as thepicture culture accomplishment with repairs as the foundation above,is true "is enjoyable". Now some superficial gentlemen with one strokeof the pen make by no means the so-called size "is enjoyable".

China: Each time traditional Chinese painting art exhibition all is adrawing contrast and the judgment. In the contrast, I felt the drawingis the author is drawing own literature depth. Cultural number ofdegree not deep, still after pen ripe reveals superficially, againassiduous also only can draw becomes "匠气" a group, also was loses"had been mad the rhyme was vivid" the feeling, did not have "the gas"which the Chinese tradition drawing emphasized "the god" and so on.But the Chinese drawing four, can, the excellent goods, 神品, 逸品be all ugly. Such many years saw you in do not stop study the massiverelated knowledge, this to your drawing influence is self-evident. Youonce had said, knowledge of the picture was not sedulously displays,is naturally reveals. In the enhancement culture quality and thetutelage aspect, say to a drawing is correct lastingly achieves withdifficulty. How do you are persist? How except is earnest study doesonly then can become aware?

Open: Also incompletely is this, actually now can be very many, evensaid specially many. As a result of modern drawing teaching with theaid of 西画 the influence solution modelling ability question,achieved can comprehensively grasp the drawing skill is very easy. Theexcellent goods also have, but all has manifests in 熟能生巧.神品, 逸品 has been short, mainly is the present person心浮气躁 many, sank the heart to the knowledge, was pleased theloneliness to be few, in addition the market enticement, studied thepicture not three days, even one day has not studied, traces the penrandomly to spread, looks for several rich elder brother 拍卖会 assoon as to fry, the day price extended lives. The theoreticianreceived the advantage with one stroke of the pen, has written, hadthe cocculus tunbergii conception, wind of the guest rainbow... ...Words of the pile of praises. Entire irritates eight is strange,forces out stone Tao, scareds out of one's wits the financialscientist. The Chinese culture quality and the traditional Chinesepainting relations are similar to Chinese the Chinese medicine and theTaijiquan. The Chinese medicine treats an illness the regulations torelease, empty makes up, after is solid empty first releases makes up,after the actual situation first makes up releases. Nothing butenhances the patient own immunity, but defeats the disease through thepatient from the body. Therefore in the Chinese medicine theory Peruthe Peru is: "The body is the big medicine" all is different with themedicine soup, smokes and so on all is adjusting body this big "themedicine". The Taijiquan also is adjusting the body. The pictureculture repairs for also is in for marks the level the work, isadjusting painter this body and mind "the big medicine". Causes it具文 inside story. Can draw the rich literary talent the painting tocome, but is not work artisan.

China: Asks a perhaps obsolete question, after Li hill "Chineselandscape painting already poor chart dead end" in these years theChinese painter also is trying harder diligently, had the excellentaspect which present these good pictures, the good painter emerges oneafter another incessantly. How will you settle on the traditionalChinese painting in light of this the future?

Open: The Li hill "the poor chart dead end" said is only a gradualphenomenon. Is because around the reform and open policy, thetraditional Chinese painting is massively welled up into by all kindsof western art frightens ignorant, feels helpless. Slowly the peoplerealize more are nationality's thing are have the world. Draws the oilpainting including the Chinese, also is the same principle. Now moreand more many people start to realize the return tradition, walks theimportance from the tradition, the traditional Chinese paintingdevelopment should be extremely considerable. Auctions the market fromthe domestic nearly 20 years calligraphy and painting unceasingly toprosper, in recent years as well as several time goes against at level拍卖会 in international on the traditional Chinese paintinginfluence, is not difficult to see, the traditional Chinese paintingfuture prospect will be broad.

China: The traditional Chinese painting with 西画 differentoccupying to, the traditional Chinese painting is, for instance theChinese drawing which discusses by the humanities image philosophyemphasized "imitates the nature" and "the beauty and one" isharmonious the Eastern philosophy in with the nature among, and so onfriendly meets. But the Western tradition and the mainstream drawingactually are by describes the nature, the person with, is the shapeand the realistic physical image reappearance which naturally isseparates discusses. Therefore said the Chinese drawing has theimagination and the creativity, pursues has the idealization, butasking for advice study said difficulty relative west drawing high.Once listened to you to say, later will study the traditional Chinesepainting the person could be short, but the present says, yourthinking study picture condition good, the present beginner does notneed several dozens years old route to be allowed to use theready-made study condition fast to grasp the drawing technique, butwas a painter to be easy, but was an artist to be difficult. How doyou are look at the current study picture and teaching this question?

Open: The teaching systematized has the sketch, sketch, color,composition and so on modern classification the discipline, thecausing study picture, the scientific style, and has the massivepictures, even is the computer manufacture may profit from, as well asmultimedia teaching increase connoisseurship level. Caused the peopleto omit the massive time to complete the basic skill practice. I alsoonce in order to reduce the fundamental training, on the one handstudied independently the traditional Chinese painting, on the onehand ran to the colleges and universities studies the oil paintingspecialty. After, also runs the study botany, the forestry study, thegeology, the geomorphology and so on with the nature relatedspecialized theory and the atlas, comparison tradition scenery picturemountain, picture water, picture tree and so on, hands over * thepractice, greatly sped up study the picture foundation practice.Paints pictures Cheng Nengpin all not to consume like past ancientsuch many half a lifetime in this stage, can save leaves the morelives time passage to enter the next stage. The key is the tutelageneeds to follow, even is the tutelage must surpass the skill.So-called has grand plans but little skill does not need to fear that,feared the eye is not high. Some many then strength, the Chineseexhibition appeared is different with the ancient times conditionrecent development high tide.

China: Looked from the present traditional Chinese painting marketconditions that, some may calculate makes the artistic work and thekind which looks down on the world belong to the ruffian culture thework by the famous writer's appearance to appear in the same old wayin the world, has says the market price not Philippines. Like thisdefinitely can affect China to mark off in the mainstream some seriouspainter works being born. Some conditions are not the painterartificial may achieve. "The painter has the picture good picture asaying is only" correct, but not also is entirely accurate, what doessuch painter draw very the manner to know again also has to use?

Open: The market is a double-edged sword, also may the achievementpainter, also may ruin the painter. Should say the market is Tibet andthe speculator as well as manager's matter, the painter should drawthe good picture by all means. As for market no matter what itdevelops, the ruffian culture as well as manufactures in a rough waythe work, is lets Tibet pay tuition, the long knowledge, buys thelesson the matter. Does the collection to be only rich is not good,certainly must layer on layer fall several feet under, only then meetsthe time to sharpen own connoisseurship ability. Directlyparticipation as for painter 炒作 date of the market, the artisticadvancement on basically sentenced the death penalty. Although alsohas the exception already is originally does not have the artisticbasic standard, how doesn't fry manages. Two is through the ages theunusual rare talent.

China: The topic returns to the Chinese landscape painting art to comeup. Now painter's had many people to pay attention to the market andown work quotation have been many, already did not have the patientdiscussion about the Chinese landscape painting aspect special topic,but also some people separated the painter and the theoretician. Ithought the traditional Chinese painting painter and the westerndrawing different is the traditional Chinese painting pays greatattention to the humanities tutelage, therefore a painter also mayhave achievements in the theory aspect only then to be right. Thetheory understanding is profound, the picture style only then can behigh. The study drawing theory is each Chinese scenery painter wisdomchoice. Speaking of the scenery painter, its tutelage by 偏面limitation in regarding "poem, book, picture, India" in the study istoo some shallowly regards. The modern Chinese painter also must studythe more cultural content.

Open: Now the calligraphy and painting market development very quickvery is active, but purely divided the painter by ancient times thatkind of pattern: Namely, the palace painter, the writer painter, thefolk painter already were unsuitable. The permission must have othertypes the painter, like the fine arts educationalist, simultaneouslyalso is the painter, this kind of painter mostly branch in variouscolleges and universities; The art academy painters, (do not removehorizontal range in the government operated art academy, relatesthrough human affairs pushes in); Managed by the people art academypainters; Market painter; Specially draws each kind of scale marketgood picture (repetition theme intensive painting); * Copys thepainter which the other people work picture false does; Moreover alsohas embezzles the other people ready-made composition and the styledrawing, encroaches upon the other people copyright painter and so on.This only can say the troop has been bigger, has the high research,also has the market, has is opportunistic, but also has has both atthe same time. From another angle looked favor the traditional Chinesepainting to vertically and horizontally to develop.
