In the highest secluded place, the stalagmites are lonely.
Look at the world coldly, calmly and horizontally.
Purify the heart and condense the iron, and clear the bones from the grandeur.
It is better to be a companion of green clouds, and the bushes are not to fight.
Late at night, reading Mr. Xu Yu's literati landscape paintings, I couldn't help but chant such poems!Yes, this is my soul's voice from the bottom of my heart!
Counting on his fingers, he has known Mr. Xuyu for more than 20 years, during which he mostly sang poetry and calligraphy inscriptions, but this time, he never expected to meet Mr. Xuyu in his landscape world.
Mr. Xu Yu debuted with new poems when he was young, and he has long been famous for poetry. Middle-aged people devoted themselves to calligraphy and became a famous calligrapher. In his old age, he wrote ancient style poems, calligraphy and calligraphy, and painted poetic literati landscape paintings
Mr. Xu Yu's literati landscape paintings are by no means a temporary work, but the fruit of his spiritual wisdom of adhering to mindfulness and clarity under the profound cultural nourishment of Mr. Xu Yu's years of study of Laozi and Zhuangzi. Zong Bing said in "Painting Landscape Preface" that "mountains and rivers are flattering to the way" and "sages are using the gods to teach the way". Mountains and rivers are not only the expression of "Tao", but also the expression of "God". It is true that Mr. Xu Yu entered the state of painting with a solid "Taoist heart". Tasting Mr. Xu Yu's literati landscape paintings, you can deeply appreciate his artistic ideas and literati feelings. I know that Mr. Xuyu highly admires Ni Zan (Ni Yunlin). Ni Zan has a poem, "Who goes west to the dojo mountain, the mountain is idle from the white cloud monk." To the fact that people are not integrated with things, often beyond the two. Wash your heart and view the wonders of retreating from the secrets, and the young people who read the world are like a day. "The mountain is quiet and grows for a thousand years, and it is true!I think this is the eternal realm that Ni Yunlin has deeply understood, which has been proved in Mr. Xuyu's landscape paintings. Mr. Xu Yu devotes himself to the expression of traditional Chinese landscape painting with the feelings, pattern and realm of "reciprocal with the spirit of heaven and earth", and his brushstrokes, no matter the fresh and fresh steps, the falling flowers are full of paths, the pine shadows are uneven, the birds are up and down, the bright moon and the breeze, or the first foot of the nap, the swirl of the mountain spring, the song of the piano, the incense and the tea, and the tea and the Tao, can clearly illuminate Mr. Xuyu's inner world: in the simplicity to see the deep, the muddy and transparent, the wind rules from afar.
Shi Tao said in "Quotations on Painting", "Once the painting is clear, the obstacle is not in the eye, but the painting can be from the heart, and the painting can be from the heart and the obstacle is from afar." In short, Mr. Xu Yu's landscape painting is like a clear stream from his poems, and his poems are out of his own heart, which shows that Mr. Xu Yu has studied mechanics deeply, and he has experienced the wonder of art, and he really admires it!
After the age of 80, Mr. Xu Yu expressed his nostalgia for the literati's landscape paintings, which are actually the visual expression of his state of mind, which always makes people feel strongly that such landscapes are "always not owned by the world", and look at the chaotic dust far away, the noise has been washed away, and what is shown is a quiet world full of barren and ancient!I think that the art of Chinese landscape painting, to a certain extent, is not to listen to this eternal sound of silence?
In the winter moon, wandering in the world of Mr. Xuyu's literati landscape painting is really comfortable and expansive!Mr. Xu Yu's literati landscape paintings, poems, calligraphy, paintings, and prints germate each other, carrying profound artistic content and cultural power, and Mr. Xu Yu's efforts to build this spiritual home, in the excavation and leading the beauty of human nature at the same time, more prominent its candlelight oriental life wisdom! !

Xu Yu, No. Baiyang. Famous contemporary poet, calligrapher and painter. Born in 1939 in Yutian County, Jingdong. He is currently the consultant of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, the vice chairman of the Chinese Prose Poetry Society, and the honorary chairman of the Hebei Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Self-proclaimed grassroots people, a lifelong student.
He was first famous for his poetry, then known for his calligraphy, and then for his literati landscape paintings.
It combines poetry, calligraphy and painting, but it is detached. I believe that learning from Xi predecessors, motivating myself, contributing to society, and being a student is a lifelong pursuit.
