Is the wind at the bottom of your wrist coming? Talk about Tiger in the Year of the Tiger

Many calligraphers and painters like to write a big "tiger" character. It is more meaningful to write the character "tiger" in the Year of the Tiger. A "tiger" has also been written in different ways by many painters. Hanging a "tiger" banner in the room can play a role in refreshing the house. The famous painter's high-brush strokes of the word "tiger" are hearty and full of charm.

Creations based on the theme of tigers can be large or small. Large-scale works have momentum, while small-scale works can also show the spirit. The picture shows Li Jianping's print collection "Year of the Tiger", which shows his spirit in its exquisiteness.

In contemporary art works, many expression techniques from folk art are used to express modern emotions. This is the print "Year of the Tiger" created by Zhao. The works are brightly colored and symbolize good luck and happiness.

In ancient art works, the image of tiger is simple but charming. The grandson of a famous seal carver has a Han Dynasty bronze seal in his collection. The seal is a very interesting design, showing a tiger standing under a tall gate. The image of the tiger is simple and vivid, showing the unique charm of Han Dynasty art

The animal patterns of the twelve zodiac signs are directly engraved on the seal, which is called the "zodiac sign seal". Use "zodiac seals in zodiac shapes" to replace the printed words of the year. If printed directly on calligraphy and paintings, it will be more unique. The red tiger seal in the middle circle is the "tiger-shaped zodiac seal" specially created by Sun for the Year of the Tiger, which is quite ancient in the modern sense.

The gorgeousness and publicity of cloth are the expression of "vulgarity is elegance" in folk art. The image of cloth tiger originated from the imagination of the ancestors. Although the real image of tigers is now deeply rooted in people's hearts, the exaggerated image of folk cloth tigers has not changed. It seems that once this imaginative exaggeration is removed, cloth tigers will become "tasteless to eat."

China's "tiger culture" has a long history, and the image of the tiger has long become one of the totems of the Chinese nation. The word "tiger" that first appeared in Chinese characters actually refers to the image of a tiger, and the pronunciation of the word "tiger" in Chinese is said to be related to the sound of a tiger.

Since ancient times, in addition to its representation in traditional paintings, the image of the tiger has been more widely used in a wider range of fields and has more meanings. In 1987, a pair of clam-carved dragons and tigers were unearthed from Xishui Slope in Puyang, Henan. About 6,000 years ago, they were accompanied by the east and west sides of an ancestor's bones, which can be called the earliest tiger statues discovered by domestic archaeology. In the late Shang Dynasty, the Simuwu tripod used for royal sacrifices was also decorated with a pair of tiger patterns on its ears, with their mouths facing each other, majestic. In fact, there are many images of tigers in ancient bronzes. For example, the "Dragon and Tiger Zun" from the Shang Dynasty is a national treasure among Chinese bronzes. Its abdominal pattern has the theme of "tiger's mouth bites a man", while the "Tiger Eating Man" from the Shang Dynasty that was lost overseas has a unique design and vivid carvings. The "Ox and Tiger Bronze Case" unearthed in Yunnan is an important large-scale sacrificial artifact in ancient Yunnan.

In ancient times, the image of the tiger also appeared particularly in related military supplies, thus symbolizing bravery and strength. For example, if the image of a tiger is engraved on a military symbol for dispatching troops and generals, it is called a tiger talisman. Khufu first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the bronze tiger shape was used as a voucher for the central government to send troops to local officials or garrison leaders, who were called Khufu. The image of tigers can be found in lacquer paintings, portrait stones and portrait bricks of the Han Dynasty.

, such as "Dragon and Tiger Fight", "Tiger Thorn", etc. At this time, tiger art has developed from simply depicting images to depicting stories about tigers. In terms of expression techniques, I have been able to create relatively complex compositions, and I know that I can grasp the general appearance. I have come up with a theory that cannot be "cautious and lost in form". Ancient investors of this period said that the artists of the 20130606 generation simplified, exaggerated and distorted the image of tigers, leaving us with many simple, vivid and interesting tiger images.

In addition to this original tiger image, the tiger image has another interpretation in folk life. Tigers in folk art are brightly colored and cute in shape. The most representative one is the cloth tiger. As a representative of folk art, cloth tigers have many types and are widely circulated. To this day, it is still popular among the people to make cloth tigers for children, which means that the children are healthy, strong and brave. Cloth tigers come in various forms, including cloth tiger pillows, hats, shoes, etc.

In modern art, the image of tigers has more forms of expression. Our artists are creating in a variety of art forms
