Chapter 268 Painting a tiger without a tiger's might, how is it different from a sick cat
Fall in love with you reading website, my husband is obviously very strong but too low-key
Due to the greed of poachers and the severe damage caused to the entire earth's ecological environment by World War III, tigers have almost become extinct. At least in the Tianlong Empire, it is difficult to find a wild tiger.
Huo Hongtu's creative references were photos from the Internet. He had never seen a real wild tiger with his own eyes. Only when he was a child, when he went to the zoo with his parents, he saw a sick tiger in a cage.
, but after so many years, I no longer have any impression.
Ye Xingyu's question is very crucial and speaks directly to people's hearts. The implication is: since you have never seen a real tiger with your own eyes, why do you dare to draw a tiger? Cloud player? All based on imagination?
To put it bluntly, Huo Hongtu's behavior is simply to imitate a cat and draw a tiger, and it is impossible to draw a real tiger's momentum. No wonder Ye Xingyu's evaluation is that it is tangible but not spirit, skin and bones, which is not a lie, but a fact.
Huo Hongtu was awakened by him, and he already felt depressed in his heart, but he was still a little unconvinced. I am an old man, and I am still being mocked and lectured by a young man like you. How can it be unreasonable?
So, Huo Hongtu argued hard: "I said I have never seen a tiger, but what about you? Have you really seen a tiger?"
"Of course I have seen it!" Ye Xingyu answered with certainty, without any hesitation.
Not only had he seen tigers, but he had also raised, tamed, and been with tigers. However, there is no need to talk about these past experiences, because no one would believe him if he told them.
"That's ridiculous! How old are you? When you were born, all the tigers were dead!" Huo Hongtu said angrily.
Ye Xingyu raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Master, if you don't believe me, please watch me perform a boxing move!"
Having said that, Ye Xingyu took a few steps and came to a spacious place in the study. He suddenly made a posture towards everyone, with his palms shaped like tiger claws, his body leaning forward, his eyes as sharp as swords, his mouth roaring like thunder, and his whole body
The momentum burst out, like a fierce tiger reappearing, roaring in the mountains and forests.
Everyone was startled by him. At this time, Ye Xingyu seemed to be no longer a person, but transformed into a tiger, full of ferocious power, glaring at him eagerly, wanting to rush forward and choose people to devour.
Even Zhao Cheng was deeply shocked by Ye Xingyu's ferocious tiger aura. His energy was drawn, his hairs stood up, and his muscles tightened automatically, as if facing a formidable enemy.
This is a move in Tiger Shape Boxing called "Tiger Descends from the Mountain". It is a low-maintenance boxing move. You can learn the complete set at any martial arts school and spend thousands of dollars, and it is also popular in the military.
However, if ordinary ancient warriors use this move of tiger descending from the mountain, they will only have the shape of a tiger without the power of a beast king.
However, Ye Xingyu only needs to assume a forward stance, and before he actually launches a move, he can give people a strong sense of crisis of facing an unparalleled beast.
This is the most intuitive difference!
As soon as Ye Xingyu's fist came out, everyone understood what form was and what spirit was!
When he took his move and stood still, the creepy feeling in everyone's hearts gradually disappeared, as if he had transformed from a ferocious beast back into a human being.
Huo Hongtu took a deep look at Ye Xingyu. Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, the other party had already explained the truth with facts.
Boxing and painting are both skills. Skills can reach the Tao, and arts can reach the gods. They are all connected in nature.
Painting tigers without the power of tigers is really not much different from sick cats. Ye Xingyu was not wrong. Huo Hongtu's picture of a tiger is indeed a failure.
The reason is that the painter himself lacks observation and understanding of the things he paints, and relies entirely on imagination. How can he draw good works that have both form and spirit?
After Ye Xingyu's reminder, Huo Hongtu naturally understood this truth. However, he had been in charge of the Huo family for decades and had high prestige among his seniors. How could he easily bow his head to young people and admit defeat?
He rolled his eyes, asked another question, pointed to another wall in the study, and asked Ye Xingyu: "What about this painting? What is your evaluation?"
The painting he was referring to was mounted in a frame and hung at the top of the wall. It was a long banner, about a foot high and more than half a meter wide. The painting paper was yellow and full of ancient charm.
At first glance, the entire painting seems to be divided into two parts, the left and right parts, with a large blank space, as if the two paintings were spliced together, but in fact it is a whole. From left to right, there are the rolling mountains in the distance.
The boat on the river in the middle shot, and the willow embankment in the close shot.
This painting looks like a landscape painting, with vigorous brushwork and thick ink, but it is actually a scene depicting a farewell scene, because there are people in the painting, and the person is the subject.
One person takes a boat to resign, and several people say goodbye on the river bank. Although the proportion of people is very small, they are the core of the story in the whole picture.
However, looking at the whole picture, there is no signature or inscription, and we have no idea who the artist was. We can only judge from the age of the paper that it is definitely not a contemporary work.
Ye Xingyu looked at it carefully for a few times, and he knew it well, so he praised: "This is the "Farewell Picture of Jingjiang" from the Ming Dynasty. It is a masterpiece of the ages and an authentic work by a famous artist!"
"Fuck your dog!" Huo Hongtu cursed mercilessly. He was angry on the surface, but actually he was happy because the other party got the wrong answer. "This is indeed the "Jingjiang Farewell Picture", but it is a fake.
, I saw that the painting was exquisite and the imitation was meticulous, so I framed it and put it here. When you put it in your mouth, it becomes an authentic work by a famous artist? What a joke!"

Ye Xingyu was not angry when he was scolded. Instead, he laughed and said: "I only said it was an authentic work by a famous artist, but I didn't say which famous artist it was. The old man can't take it out of context!"
Huo Hongtu had a sneer on his face, not believing it at all: "Then come and tell me, which famous person is he?"
Anyone who has a certain understanding of traditional painting knows that "Farewell Picture on the Jingjiang River" was created by Shen Zhou, a master of the Ming Dynasty. It depicts the scene of Shen Zhou and others bidding farewell to Wu Yu, the governor of Xuzhou, in the Jingjiang River for his appointment. The scenery is appropriate, dense, and emotional.
It is sincere and vivid, and was often copied by later generations, resulting in many fakes and imitation paintings.
Although Huo Hongtu had not seen the original manuscript with his own eyes, he had seen the photo, which was slightly different from the one he collected. Moreover, the original picture had Shen Zhou's signature and seal in his own handwriting, but this one had paintings but no words.
Obviously it is not an authentic work, but an imitation by later generations.
However, Ye Xingyu dared to say this, and naturally he had his reasons. Listen to what he said: ""Jingjiang Farewell Picture" is the work of Shen Zhou, one of the four Ming families. Among the four Ming families, there was another disciple of Shen Zhou, Mr. Huo.
Do you know this person?"
Huo Hongtu's expression changed: "Are you talking about Wen Zhengming?"
"Yes! That's him!" Ye Xingyu nodded heavily, very sure, "This painting is a copy of Wen Zhengming's original work by Shen Zhou. May I ask if Wen Zhengming can be considered a famous artist?"
