"Plum Blossom" with its "proud snow","clean" human character has become an important subject in Chinese traditional flower-and-bird painting,and has become the "four gentlemen" in Chinese traditional culture.The Chinese people love and appreciate Plum Blossoms,write plum poems and paint plum blossoms,and use plum blossoms to express the painter’s inner feelings,and form the tradition of plum blossom paintings with unique oriental aesthetic features and humanistic wisdom.On the whole,while Chinese painting attaches importance to "external teacher’s creation",it also further emphasizes "getting the heart source",that is,painting is not simply "transferring and copying" objects,but needs the painter’s subjective consciousness to the object and the rule profound understanding and the grasp,finally presents and expresses the painter’s creation intention through the picture.In many handed-down "plum painting" works,we can see that the palace of the delicate paintings of plum blossom can also be seen in the literati paintings of the civil servants for the expression of freehand plum blossom.Under the influence of Chinese traditional literature and Art Spirit,"Mei painting" has become an important way to carry people’s affection,joy and expression of feelings.The first chapter mainly discusses the description and application of "scenery" in Chinese traditional "plum painting".Things are always in a certain time and space,and the plum blossom is no exception.Meanwhile,when the plum blossom is in a different scene,its expressive techniques and aesthetic tastes are also different,therefore,this chapter,taking "Fengmei","Yanmei","Xuemei" and "Yuemei" as examples,respectively discusses the characteristics of "Plum" in layout and space construction under different weather conditions and different time conditions.As far back as the Song Dynasty,the special beauty of plum blossom in different natural phenomena has been found and recorded.Song Shi Zhongren’s "Hua Guang Mei Pu" first made an inductive summary of how plum blossoms are displayed under the weather conditions of wind,rain,fog,Snow,frost and fine,etc.,this is from the branch character and the flower of the simple point of view in the composition of the two elements of the combination.Regardless of the degree of combination of the two,Wind,rain,frost,fog,snow and other unpredictable natural phenomena,all without exception to the plum clear,accurate performance into a kind of fuzzy,impression presentation.The vivid images,such as "smoking with fog" and "facing the wind with snow",are the theoretical sources of "the nature of the cause and the contribution of nature".It contains infinite possibilities,reflects the unique pursuit of the art of Chinese painting,and is full of beauty.The second chapter of this Article Mainly Discusses Plum Blossom’s "Root","branch","stem" of the painting and techniques.In "plum painting","Root","branch","stem" and so on are the indispensable part of the picture.Among them,"Ge" and "Yun" are the classical ideas of appreciating and painting plum trees.In order to paint plum trees,literati painters need to find a proper way to record the rich structure,shape and texture of plum trees.Through long-term practice and symbolic exploration,they found this method,perfected and expanded the achievements of their predecessors,thus forming the classic records of Hua Guang Mei pu and Song Zhai Mei pu about Hua Mei,although this evolution is full of the characteristics of development in the historical process,the artistic aim of plum blossom has been innovated and changed,but the techniques of drawing plum blossom in different times have been recorded comparatively completely.In this chapter,the author discusses the generality and individuality of the creation under different techniques,starting with the special nouns of branches appearing in Mei Pu.In the third chapter,we mainly discuss the different parts of the plum flower and the drawing of its flower head.First,from the structural point of view,plum blossom has a pedicel,a Calyx,a stamen and a Corolla,and from the morphological point of view,it is divided into flowers and bracts,when painting plum blossoms,the painter usually applies a cursive pen to paper and completes the continuous movement from the Calyx to the pedicel in a very short period of time by using light or heavy force,a sense of rhythm is the key to this step.
