Analyzing Bada Shanren's Contradictory Emotions and Their Expression in His Paintings
According to historical records,Bada Shanren exhibited two instances of"madness"during his lifetime.Scholars hold two views on this behavior:"genuine madness"and"feigned insanity."Through historical investigation,it becomes clear that Bada's behavior was neither genuine madness nor feigned insanity,but rather an external manifestation of his internal contradictory emotions.These emotions arose from the conflict between his"aristocratic consciousness"and"remnant feelings of loss,"as well as between his"reclusive state"and"worldly mentality."These contradictory emotions had a profound impact on his painting.The perilous compositions,the exaggerated and helpless expressions of animals,and the free and unrestrained brushwork in his paintings all reflect these emotions.It can be said that Bada's internal contradictions were a significant factor in shaping the unique style of his art.
