"My Friends and I Now in Our Turn Ascending to the Height":the Narrative Rebellion and Significance of Ascending Red Cliff Paintings by the Wu School
The paintings of ascending Red Cliff by the Wu School not only echo the writing of Su Shi's"The second Red Cliff Ode",but also connects with the long-standing tradition of ascending to heights since the Wei and Jin dy-nasties.Different from the previous narrative image pattern shaped by Qiao Zhongchang and Wen Zhengming,Zhu Lang,Qian Gu,Jiang Qian,Wen Jia,Zhang Ruitu,Wu Shiguan and others explored a new paradigm called"Circu-lar Spatial Narrative"in their paintings,which was not that hidebound as previously believed.Their representations were not copies of their travel experiences,but came from the recognition of the essential state of life.This article re-assesses the Ascending Red Cliff Paintings by the Wu School,from the dual perspectives of art history and art philoso-phy,aiming to clarify their image sources,narrative innovations,and the humanistic consciousness reflecting the con-tinuity of Chinese culture.
