How to understand the meaning of "keeping pen first, painting with heart" and "learning from nature, learning from heart" in Chinese painting?

1, Chinese painting emphasizes "the nature of foreign teachers, the source of China's heart", requires "the brushwork comes first, and the painting is full of meaning", and emphasizes blending things with nature to create artistic conception, so as to achieve the purpose of expressing the spirit with form, having both form and spirit, and expressing the charm. Because calligraphy and painting are of the same origin, they are closely related to the operation of bone and line, so the seal cutting of calligraphy and painting affects each other and forms a remarkable artistic feature.

2. The phrase "I intend to save my pen and paint again" comes from Zhang Yanyuan's Record of Famous Paintings in Past Dynasties in Tang Dynasty. It is his comments praising Gu Kaizhi's figure painting that explain the painter's intentions, including the conception of the subject matter, the portrayal of the image, the use of pen and ink, and the maturity of the pen, which make it stand out when putting pen to paper, and the painter is precise and profound in painting. This sentence also shows that once the idea is mature, it can only be "intended to write", "not leaving hands, not concentrating" and "painting with heart, like a god."

3. "Nature is taught by foreign teachers, and the heart comes from China", which is the immortal famous saying of Zhang Zao, a painter in the Tang Dynasty. "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties" records: "At the beginning, Uncle Bi was famous for his generation. At first glance, he was surprised, but he was just a bald deputy magistrate and touched the silk fibroin with his hand, which was the result of his impatience. He said rashly,' If you learn from nature abroad, you will get the source of your heart at home.' Bi hong and ge bi. The words "nature from the outside, heart from the inside" summarize the whole process of objective phenomenon-artistic image-artistic image. In other words, art must come from the beauty of reality and must take the beauty of reality as its source. However, this kind of realistic beauty must be melted and recreated by the painter's subjective feelings before it becomes artistic beauty. It must be the organic unity of the objective reality of form and spirit and the painter's subjective feeling. The objective reality reflected in the works will inevitably be branded with the painter's subjective feelings. Zhang Zao briefly broke all the secrets of the formation of artistic image in one sentence, and even spread to this day, lasting forever.

4. It is pointed out that artists must learn from life, society and nature in order to have the wonderful feeling of "mountains and rivers meet and traces can be found" and understand the true meaning and essence of art. For an excellent artist, it is important to read thousands of books, but it is more important to take the Wan Li Road.
