A Study on the Relationship between Cubi yiwen(Rough Contouring of Drapes of Ancient Clothes)in the Ink Figure Painting and the Ideology of Zen Buddhism
The beginning and end of the brush strokes of drapes is the essence of Chinese ink wash figure painting.The emergence of rough contouring of drape breaks through the tradition of fine line contouring of Cao Zhongda and Wu Daozi,sharing both lyricalness and the play fulness of zen shiumo.The form of these strokes is not bound by the system of clothes and crowns,and the brushwork is simple and driting to reach the beauty of the spirit.Cubi yiwen is deeply influenced by the spirit of Zen Buddhism,the subject matter of paintings is closely related to Zen Buddhism,and the conceptual innovation of the brushwork and ink from xie xing(depicting shape)to xie xing(depicting essence)is in line with Zen of Song and Yuan dynasty,which is not bound by the scriptures and dogmas,and does not emphasize the orthodox laws,seeking for the intuitive and anti-logical characteristic.Although the rough brushwork was regarded as rough and wicked without ancient method from early painting theories,its unrestrained style was deeply admired by later painters,which they not only shaped the core of freehand brushwork of the figure painting,but also brought a new style to xige huapin.In this paper,we take the cubi yiwen of shiumo figure painting as an entry point,and discuss the close relationship between the cubi yiwen painting method and Zen Philosophy by combining the ancient painting theory and method,the theme of ink wash painting and various doctrines of Zen schools.
