Brief Talk “Xiyuan Art Collection” And My Creation

The Song people pursued elegance and character cultivation in their lives.Scholars in the literary group formed elegant collections for drinking,talking about poetry,painting poetry,painting incense and hanging flowers.Yaji activities often record the grand occasion of banquets in the form of culture and art of painting and preface.Song literati painters combined Yaji theme paintings with the times to reflect a new look.Northern Song Li Gonglin’s "Xiyuan Yaji" illustrated with "Xiyuan Yaji" activities In the Southern Song Dynasty,Ma Yuan used Li Gonglin’s original creation of "Xi Yuan Ya Ji Tu Juan" to have a highly personalized expression.Since the Southern Song Dynasty,"Xi Yuan Ya Ji" has become a creative motif pursued by successive artists.An in-depth study of "Xi Yuan Ya Ji Tu" can not only understand the aesthetic characteristics of the literati’s daily life in the Song Dynasty,but also can gain experience and inspiration from painting creation.From the development of Yaji to the Song Dynasty,it gradually became a cultural and social activity of the Song Dynasty literati,or sentimental natural landscapes or open-hearted bedrooms,gradually elevating daily life into artistic and elegant events,indulging in burning incense,tea,flower arrangements,hanging pictures,writing poetry In the sense of pleasure,through the multi-level sensory sensations of smell,taste,touch and vision.The literati painters in the Song Dynasty embody personalized pens and inks through the works of Ya Ji.The subject has been repeatedly painted since the Northern Song Dynasty,"Xi Yuan Ya Ji".The "Xi Yuan Ya Ji" has become the spiritual homeland that literati had longed for.Not only do they yearn for personal investment,they also continue to evolve elegant collections of works,generating new ideas and perspectives,expressing their personal pursuits of secluded life and elegant character through pen and ink.Elegance activities are still respected by many people who pursue quality of life and pay attention to character cultivation.Elegant activities such as tea art and floral art are gradually integrated into the daily life of contemporary women and become the theme of contemporary art works.My graduation creation is also based on Elegance in contemporary women’s daily life is the subject of painting.In this article,I will study the "Xi Yuan Ya Ji Tu" through a combination of theoretical analysis and image comparison,and talk about the inspiration of "Xi Yuan Ya Ji Tu".On the one hand,consult the literature to understand the formation background,performance content,and aesthetic characteristics of "Xi Yuan Ya Ji Tu",on the other hand,compare the "Garden of Xi Yuan Ya Tu" by Li Gonglin of the Northern Song Dynasty and Ma Yuan of the Southern Song Dynasty.I performed image analysis in terms of techniques,artistic conception,etc.,and then summarized the inspiration of Ya Ji’s theme paintings for my creative work,and explored the theoretical basis and practical experience for personal creation.
