The author of this painting is the Qing Dynasty painter Hua Yan. Hua Yan painted many paintings in his life, but only this seemingly nonsensical work has been praised, which makes us wonder. untie. But why is such an ancient painting depicting a "sick cat" praised as a famous painting handed down from generation to generation? Is it just because this tiger picture was written by ancient people hundreds of years ago?
When we look at the tiger in the painting, it is obviously a mountain king, but it is like a bereaved dog. It stretches one paw forward, scratches its own face, tucks its tail, and walks over in embarrassment, as if Something shocking happened just now. Judging from the appearance, the tiger looks lazy and weak, with its body bent and its tail between its legs, its eyes filled with helplessness and fear. It seems that he is afraid of something and is unwilling to meet it. This is not the same as the traditional tiger at all, so it is called a sick cat wearing tiger skin?! But after we enlarge the painting 10 times, we will soon find the answer. The first is the tiger's eyes. We can see in the painting that the tiger's eyes are squinting upward, which means that the key point in the painting is where the tiger's gaze reaches. We continued to follow the tiger's gaze and could see several black spots. After a closer look, it turned out to be a wild bee chasing the tiger. There are several wild bees and a honeycomb in front of the painting, and we know the reason why the tiger became a "sick cat". It is difficult to draw the bones of a tiger when painting its skin, and even more difficult to draw its eyes. The tiger's eyes should reveal the power of a hunter, but when faced with the siege of poisonous bees, even a natural king like a tiger cannot resist. Venomous bees represent those villains around us who like to stir up trouble and maliciously target others. Although gentlemen are magnanimous and villains have long-term relationships, villains are much scarier than gentlemen.
This painting "Fenghu" vividly expresses the tiger's embarrassment after being attacked. It also illustrates from the side that powerful people should not be domineering. The strong will have its own hand. This meaning is also Among them, the more you taste, the more artistic conception you get. ?
When seeing a relatively special painting at first glance, many outsiders will think that these paintings are nothing more than that. However, these paintings usually have a certain philosophy, and people need to observe and understand them carefully to discover their beauty. ?
