I heard that the horse of the Son of Heaven traveled thousands of miles, and today's drawing is nothing.The above is a poem by Du Fu with the title of a horse, so in other versions, the title of the poem is also "The Song of Tianyu Hutu".He is majestic and heroic, and the tail of the horse is rising.
The hair is green, the ears are yellow, and the eyes have purple flames and double pupils.
The sexual combination of the orthopedic dragon changed, and Zhuo Litian Gusen opened.
Zhang Jingshun, the servant of Yixi, and the overseer attacked the horse Yue Qingjun.
Then he ordered the big slave to be nurtured, and don't raise a son to pity the gods.
At that time, there were 400,000 horses, and Zhang Gong sighed that his material was exhausted.
Therefore, the only photo is passed on to the world, and the seat of the seat has been updated for a long time.
More than a year has materialized into an empty shadow, and there is no way to shout and walk.
Now there is no waist wrap and a horse, and there is no time for Wang Liangbo to die and rest.
Du Fu's inscription poem can be described as so"See the painting in the truth, see the truth in the painting".。He is good at expressing the charm of the things depicted and the real painting scene with refined brushwork, and the description of the horses' eyes, ears, pupils, and bones in the "Song of the Heavenly Hussars" can be seen in the charm, which not only shows the truth of the horse's image, but also reflects the thin, hard, and vigorous painting techniques.
But there is one poem in it that is really confusing:
The eyes have purple flame double pupils
Why did Du Fu say that Ma Tong was square?
Since it is an inscription poem, I think what Du Fu wrote is painted in the painting, but unfortunately the author of this "Tianyu Hussar" is unknown, and we have no way to see each other. If you want to find evidence in the paintings, you may have to start with other works.
Represented by the above works, it is not difficult for us to find that from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to the present day, the horse's pupils were painted as round pupils, which is extremely common and almost traditional
The eyes have purple flame double pupils
Isn't this horizontal rectangle clear at a glance?
The use of scientific explanations is:
From an ecological niche point of view, the horse is primarily a ** eater, with horizontal pupils and eyes located on both sides of the head. Although a horse cannot see very far vertically (such as from the sky to the ground), it has a large visual width in the horizontal direction. Horses can see the panorama of their surroundings, which gives them the advantage of being keenly aware of approaching predators around them.From ancient times to the present, the pupils of horses are square, but it is a pity that many of the horse painters make round pupils.
As a poet, Du Fu does not take what he sees Ma Tong as strange, perhaps because he is meticulous in his life and knows that Ma Tong is the party, or he is suspicious when he sees it, and he only writes after investigation.
But in any case, the essence of Du Fu's vision is revealed in this "strange word", a "square" word, steady and accurate, "see the painting in the truth, see the truth in the painting", it seems that it is not a false praise.
