| Su Dongpo was the first literary figure in history to propose the concept of "literati painting".Although there is a lot of literature on the in-depth interpretation of literati painting,few of them have been analyzed specifically in the context of Su Dongpo’s paintings.The painting "Withered Wood,Strange Stones" carries Su Dongpo’s Mao Dun tangled psychology of withered wood,bamboo and stone,which enables the author to deeply study the literati’s interest in it.I can always feel that Su Dongpo wants to tell something through this work,either to vent his anger,or to look forward to the spring of the dead wood,or perhaps to give a summary of his helpless life.Therefore,I hope to take Su Dongpo as a case study,and through understanding his complex psychological state,I hope to study the world of Mao Dun behind the "dead wood and strange stones". |
