My system is not decent

Some experts have verified that Han Huang's "Five Bulls" is permeated with strong personal emotions, and five cows refer to his five brothers.

They express their true feelings of love and loyalty to the emperor with their heavy-duty, hard-working, and docile character.

According to historical records, Han Huang paid great attention to the development of agriculture during his tenure as prime minister. He used cattle as the subject of his paintings, which may also have the meaning of encouraging farming.

The five cows painted in "Five Bulls" are full of dynamics, either walking, standing, bowing their heads, or raising their heads.

What's valuable is that there is no background in the picture, and the cattle are completely used as the object of expression.

If you have not carefully observed the cow and are fully sure about the shape and description of the cow, you would never dare to take the risk of this painting.

Although the outline of the cow is simple, the turning of the muscles and bones is well done.

Especially the fluff on the muzzle and nose of the cow is meticulous.

There are also piercing eyes, which reflect the docile and stubborn character of the cows.

In the era when farming is encouraged, it is very meaningful to include cattle in paintings.

The five cows in the painting are lined up from right to left, each with a different appearance and posture.

A thorn tree scratches it, one raises its head forward, one stands upright and sings, one turns its head back and licks its tongue, and one stands upright with its head wrapped around its head.

Except for a small tree on the right at the end of the whole picture, there is no other background, and each cow can form a chapter independently.

In the use of skills, the painter outlines the outline of the cow with thick and powerful ink lines, showing the strength, calmness and slowness of the cow.

Especially the deliberate rendering of the eyes, nose, hooves, whiskers and other parts of the cow highlights the strong bones and real texture of the cow's fur.

The color of the picture is also very characteristic, dark brown, yellow, black and white, representing the most typical coat color of cattle.

Although only two colors are used, it gives people a colorful feeling.

In addition, there is another technique of "dotting the eyes", which is the key to affect the overall situation.

The painter appropriately exaggerated the bull's eyes and deliberately portrayed them, so that the eyes of the five cowboys are piercing, reaching the artistic realm of both form and spirit.

The eyes of the five bulls are piercing, deep and vivid, which vividly express the docile and stubborn character of the bulls.

The painter focused on depicting the eyes of the cow and the wrinkles around them.

He also carefully painted the eyelashes on the edge of Wuniu's eye sockets with sharp and sharp brushstrokes.

Through the depiction of these details, the unique personality of each cow is emphasized, so that they clearly show their different expressions.

The viewer can clearly feel that these five cows not only have life and emotion, but also have different inner worlds, which are the five cows personified.

This picture is a hand-scroll group painting, with cattle as the object of expression.

Since there is no background background, it is indeed a lot of consideration in the arrangement of the composition, and it is not easy to express it very distinctively.

The painter has dealt with this problem relatively well through the form of left-right symmetry in the composition processing.

He painted the green bull in the middle as a positive image, so that the blue bull directly faces the audience, with a unique perspective, forming the center of the picture.

Two cows are arranged on each side, extending to the left and right in a symmetrical shape.

...

The five cows can also be closely related to each other. The five cows are not only a single individual, but also closely related to each other.

In the end, it forms a very harmonious unified whole.

Although the five cows are arranged in parallel on the screen, the dynamic characteristics of raising their heads, bowing their heads, and looking back and forth make the picture not appear dull.

They are echoed and connected with each other, and subtle changes in composition can be seen.

Thus effectively solving the problem of inflexible composition and creating a very good composition style of hand-scrolling and group painting of cattle and cattle.

"Five Cows" breaks the decorative pattern of only painting the sides and planes of cows in the Han Dynasty, and vividly expresses various dynamics of cows.

Especially the cow in the middle, facing the viewer, has a unique angle.

Because the artist accurately drew the perspective relationship of the cow, it has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, so it is also full of form and spirit.

Complete in form and spirit, and vivid in image, just by being able to do these things, it can become a master work, not to mention there are other kinds?

Therefore, this is definitely a master-level work, no wonder it can become one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation in China.

Such a famous painting is naturally very famous, so many celebrities throughout the ages have highly praised it.

For example, Zhao Mengfu, a painter of the Yuan Dynasty: "Wu Niu is upright and upright, and a rare and famous brush."

Li Rihua, a litterateur, calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty, also recorded in detail in "Liuyanzhai Notes".

"Although "Five Bulls" is colored and selected, the bones, turnings, and muscles are all drawn with rough brushstrokes, such as the clothing pattern of Wu Daozi's Buddha statue. There is no weak brushstroke for craftsmanship, but after a long time, it is full of air. It is like life, so it has been extinct through the ages."

A rare and famous brush that has disappeared through the ages, this is the highest praise for calligraphy and painting.

And the inheritance of this famous painting is also very interesting.

According to the history of the spread of Han Huang's "Five Bulls", according to the poems and postscripts on the scroll, it can be known that it once entered the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, it was handed down by Zhao Boyang, Zhao Mengfu, Prince Yuan and others.

During the Ming Dynasty, Xiang Yuanbian and others collected it.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was hidden in Wang's Qiushi Zhai in Tongxiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Jinnong watched "Five Bulls Picture" twice, the last time was in December of the eleventh year of Qianlong (1746).

Since then, "Five Bulls" has flowed into the palace of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the paintings were transferred to Yingtai, Zhongnanhai for preservation.

In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces ransacked the Forbidden City, and "Five Bulls" was robbed abroad, and has never been heard from since.

"Five Bulls" went through several twists and turns, and was finally bought by Xiangjiang entrepreneur Wu Hengsun.

In the early 20s, Wu's enterprise was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Knowing that he could no longer preserve this famous painting intact, Wu Hengsun reluctantly decided to sell "Five Bulls".

After the news came out, the domestic leaders at that time received a letter from a patriot.

The letter stated that Han Huang's "Five Bulls Picture" in the Tang Dynasty appeared in Xiangjiang, and the owner of the painting asked for 10 Hong Kong dollars.

He could not afford to buy it himself, and hoped that the government would fund the recovery of the national treasure as soon as possible.

The country immediately issued instructions to identify the authenticity, buy it back at all costs, and instructed reliable personnel to escort it to ensure the safety of the cultural relics.

After receiving the instructions, the country immediately organized experts to go to Hong Kong.

Finally, it was identified that "Five Bulls" was indeed an authentic work. After many negotiations, it was finally sold for 6 Hong Kong dollars.

Although the famous paintings have returned to the motherland, they have experienced ups and downs. The paintings are covered with dust, scars, and hundreds of holes.

On January 1977, 1, the volume of "Five Cows" was sent to the Cultural Relics Restoration Factory of the Palace Museum, and Mr. Sun Chengzhi, an expert in surface painting, presided over the restoration.

After rinsing the dirt, heart washing, exposing, scraping, repairing, making strips, cutting squares, and supporting the heart, etc. steps.

Then the color of the hole in the heart of the painting was completed, and then after inlaying, covering, calendering, etc., it was assembled into a roll with Xuanhe style colliding edges.

Eight months later, the acceptance expert group gave a high evaluation.

This is the end of the restoration of a picture of five bulls, and the restoration is perfect.
