So NishikawaOriginally, Chinese painting had many faces and various forms of expression. However, due to some manipulation and the implicit assistance of certain policies, there has been a deformed development of our Chinese painting today. For example, some new, strange, strange, and special works are always regarded as having the spirit of the times; The pursuit of the so-called "rough and disorderly clothes", freehand, experimental ink, spontaneous smearing, etc., has become a fashion and is widely sought after. This phenomenon was regarded by the ancients as "vertical and horizontal habits". 
Vertical and horizontal is not a vice, but in many cases it has become a valuable spirit to break through barriers and get rid of constraints. In fact, many masters of ancient Chinese art were made by these two characters. However, the vertical and horizontal habit is a kind of malpractice, and it is infected by this qi, which is more impetuous and shallow. Whether or not it can resist the habit of vertical and horizontal can also be used as a sign to judge whether a painter has concentration today. 
Jinchuan is a native of the south and the north, can drink and do things boldly. It should belong to the category of people who sweep and paint with a large brush. But what he admires is Yun Nantian, and the road he wants to take is the Changzhou School, and his painting is completely different from the big brush. 
Yun Nantian, known as the Six Families of the Early Qing Dynasty (Four Kings Wu Yun), was a painter with great personality. In view of the vertical and horizontal habits and strong painting style in the society at that time, he once proposed and practiced it, with a high-level, indifferent, innocent, quiet style and a delicate brush, to get rid of the vertical and horizontal habits; Painting in a light and elegant style to restore the true color of the fat powder. The style of painting created by Yun Nantian is known as the Changzhou School of Painting, which has had a far-reaching influence in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. Although Yun Nantian's paintings and theories are not favored by many people today, his works and thoughts are a sobering agent, which can well promote the benign and healthy development of Chinese painting today. Jinchuan is committed to the revival of the Changzhou School, and its paintings are fresh and elegant, with a strong bookish atmosphere. 
These efforts of his can be regarded as a special independent act among today's young and middle-aged painters. Yun Nantian especially emphasized the realm of painting, and those who learned from Nantian in later generations could only get their fur in the less realm. Nantian once said: "The infatuated man (Huang Zijiu - author's note) paints forests, and the location, clouds, and shades can all be learned." In addition to pen and ink, there is no kind of absurdity and vastness, and it is not to learn. Therefore, the learning idiot is not in the realm of Zhensi. ”
And he said, "The mountains cannot speak, but men can speak." Autumn is sad and thoughtful. Those who write autumn will have a sad and thoughtful meaning, and then they can do it. Otherwise, it would be better to listen to the chirping of cicadas and crickets. "It can be seen that the realm cannot be imitated, and it cannot be deliberately drawn. The realm can only be obtained by injecting understanding and cultivation into the painting. Nishikawa is studious, fond of reading, and diligent in thinking, all of which are conducive to the conveyance of the best scenery in his paintings. I will be looking forward to many more of his best works. is for the preface. Gu Sen at his apartment in Beijing on January 2, 2008
