Live In The Mountains And Forests,and Seek Silence

"Live in the mountains and forests,and seek silence." from Wang Wei’s "Qing Shi Zhuang Wei Si Biao".In this article,Wang Wei describes his mother’s practice of paying homage to the Buddha: "for more than 30 years,his deceased mother,the late king Cui of Boling County,had been a Zen master for more than 30 years,wearing brown clothes and eating vegetables,abstaining from Zen Buddhism,living in the mountains and forests,and striving for silence." Although this paragraph expresses the piety of Wang Wei’s mother in paying homage to Buddha,it embodies the pursuit of "seclusion" by Wang Wei and later generations of hermits,who yearn for the quiet mountain forest in order to seek a quiet soul.Then,seclusion thought,how is it expressed in the painting,and how it relates to the four seasons landscape painting?This thesis will take this as the center,through the detailed work analysis,in-depth to discuss Ming and Qing four seasons landscape painting in seclusion and escape deeply.The thesis will be discussed from the following five aspects: the first chapter is the domestic and foreign research summary as well as the research goal and the significance explanation;the second chapter briefly summarizes the reclusive thought and the establishment of landscape painting department,and clarifies the significance of "Yin" and "Yi" and briefly expounds the relationship between landscape painting and seclusion thought;the third chapter expounds the relationship between landscape painting and seclusion,and puts forward the relationship between four seasons landscape painting and seclusion,and classifies the embodiment of seclusion and seclusion in four seasons landscape painting of Ming and Qing dynasties;Chapter Four,with the help of rich works,makes a deep analysis of the "Yin" of spring,summer,autumn and winter in the landscape paintings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties;chapter five takes the works of representative artists as examples,this paper probes into the expression of "Yi" in the landscape painting of Ming and Qing dynasties.
