An Exploration Of The Melancholy Beauty In The Paintings Of The Ladies Of Kaiqi

As a result of the particular atmosphere of the Qing dynasty and the unhealthy culture of extravagance,the aesthetic demands of women,which were mainly oriented by men,created a unique charm of 'slender,feminine,windy and sorrowful' paintings of women in the Qing dynasty,and as a result women's paintings were very popular in the Qing dynasty,and the subject of this essay is extremely representative of this.Throughout his life,he delicately portrayed a series of women with a 'melancholic beauty',and his paintings of women have a distinctly melancholic theme,such as the beauty of the women in the paintings lamenting the uncertainty of their future,the hardships of life,and the sadness of parting.In keeping with this theme,he uses lines,props and costumes to artistically depict the faces and postures of the women,using the empty rooms and lonely courtyards to bring out the complex emotions of the women,and then adding a clear colour palette and elegant tones to reflect the noble qualities of the women.The painting relies on the poem's melancholy narrator to communicate with the poem across genres,and the melancholy theme extends beyond the woman to the whole of humanity,revealing its profound humanity.
