| The engravings of The West Chamber Records by the Min family of Germany were produced by Min Qi Arren,and the engravings are mainly based on the drama novel West Chamber Records.The engravings of Ming Dynasty are particularly rich in the illustrations of opera novels.When the drama novel rose,it expanded the garden of print creation,but also provided new content of print creation.In other words,the rise of woodcut illustrations,woodcut illustrations in the creation of achievements,also strengthened the influence of opera novels in the folk.In the Ming Dynasty,especially after the middle period,there were almost no drama novels published in the street without illustrations,and booksellers often advertised books with exquisite illustrations.Narrative is the most fundamental attribute of illustration,but narrative painting is not a simple description of reality or text,but a creative means of the creator,combining real life experience or text description to create a sense of reality for the audience.In this process,when artistic creation is transformed between different media,certain techniques or means are used to make the audience feel strange to the object of observation,thus creating space for aesthetics.From text to image,the content expressed is transformed through different media,which itself is a kind of aesthetic reorganization.At the moment this picture form different from other "the west chamber" Ming edition of commentaries have bigger,it pay more attention to the image narrative,min had "the west chamber" in the photocopy of the characters and the other had no much difference,the protagonist,such as rose Cui Yingying,zhang,red characters are more classic,but for the monks are more on the processing of secularization;In the picture schema,combined with the Ming dynasty popular artifacts and folk art such as lantern,linked jade ring,puppet show,etc.In the decorative pattern is also innovative,there is a unique sense of fantasy.In narrative painting,the artist’s personal expression is indispensable.Because painting creation is essentially an aesthetic understanding of social reality by artists.The activity of cognition is not a passive reaction or imitation of objective reality.The object of cognition is a kind of existence in thinking and is not equivalent to objective reality itself.Art,as a special cognitive activity,does not rely on simple imitation or mirror-like reflection of the outside world.We need to be aware of our own motivations in order to actually complete the act of expression. |
