Loquats are native to China and have a long history of cultivation. As early as the Han Dynasty, loquats were cultivated. In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan once said that "the citrus pomelo is honored in the early winter, and the loquat is recommended in the summer." Pick up all the loquats and one tree of gold." Shen Zhou of the Ming Dynasty loved loquats, not only did he have a number of loquat paintings that were handed down from time to time, but there were often poems inscribed on the paintings. Round and full, sweet and cool lips. Gold is used for food, and the sky is longevity for Wu people."
In addition to poetry, there are also many famous works of painting and calligraphy depicting loquats in the past dynasties. For example, the loquats painted by Zhao Ji, Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, were painted with ink and wash. , or painted in light colors, with a literati interest; the loquats written by Wu Changshuo and Wang Zhen during the Republic of China were written in the way of seal script, which is very interesting of gold and stone.
In this early summer, The Paper hereby sorts out the famous loquats in calligraphy and painting of past dynasties for readers.

This picture shows the body of Cui Baiqing. Song Huizong Zhao Ji's paintings of flowers and birds are mostly colored. However, this painting is purely painted with ink and wash. It is elegant in style, slightly like a boneless painting, and has a vigorous and delicate charm, which reflects Zhao Ji's various painting talents. .On the folio is a poem inscribed by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: "Sturdy, round and oval, the loquat is famous for its name. If the body of the elephant is passed down, Xi will ask its sound. The bird's shape is stable, and the butterfly's shadow is light. Lost Tokyo." I felt that Song Huizong was so good at painting, working on composition and business location, why did he lose his country?

Xu Chongsi, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty. Xu Xisun. He is good at painting grass and insects, poultry and fish, vegetables and fruits, flowers and trees and silkworm cocoons. His painting was originally a family study, but because it did not conform to the program and fashion of the painting academy at that time, he changed his studies to Huang Quan and Huang Jucai and his son. Later, he created his own style, and he did not use ink pen to outline, but directly smudged it with color. Brother Xu Chongxun and younger brother Xu Chongju are both good at painting flowers and birds, and Chongju is also a craftsman.

Interpretation: When you arrive, you get the loquats that you get, which is very comforting. Jiaguo is a rare delicacy, and it is always new, but the Sichuan Road is far away, so it is more convenient to send it without labor. Today, the plum blossoms and algae are in the summer, the wheat gas welcomes the autumn, the fragrance floats in the wind of Lanban, and the mirror turns to the moon of Guiyan. Looking at the white clouds, carrying deep thoughts, chatting with green words, there is not much to say. Consultation, 29th.Song Linchun Loquat Mountain Aerial Picture Page

In May in the south of the Yangtze River, the ripe loquat fruit is particularly attractive in the summer light. A loquat with embroidered eyes and tail turned its neck was sitting on a loquat branch and was about to peck at the fruit, but found an ant on it. The loquat branches seem to vibrate up and down as the center of gravity of the embroidered eye is out of balance. The picture is still and moving, full of fun. The feathers of the embroidered eyes are first smeared with color and ink, and then depicted with small but not rigid brushstrokes, showing the different textures of the bird's back feathers being firm and smooth, while the belly hairs are fluffy and soft. The loquat fruit is outlined with earthy yellow lines, then filled with golden yellow, and finally painted with ochre color. The three different warm colors blend together, thus showing the plump and sweetness of the loquat fruit at the ripe stage. The loquat leaves are represented by the neat and delicate heavy-color method, which not only faithfully depicts the various natural shapes of the leaf surface reverse to the back, but also traces the damage traces of the leaf surface by insect bites meticulously, which fully reflects the The artistic level achieved by the flower and bird painting in the Song Dynasty in terms of realism.Song Lidi loquat Youque

Zi Demao, in the reign of Lizong Chunyou (1241-1252), was waiting for an imperial edict. Painting inherits the family method, and likes painting flowers, birds, eagles and falcons, but the wild scenery is not as good as his father. The last date of the Li painting that I have seen is the third year of Qingyuan (1197). If it goes back to the seventh year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1125), it takes seventy-three years. Based on this calculation, the age of Li's existence should be over ninety. .
