Chen Danqing visits the murals in the northwest of Shanxi: her appearance fills the gap in the history of Chinese art

　　China News Network Taiyuan, May 24 (Reporter Li Xinsuo) After about 1500 years of sleeping underground, the murals of the tombs of the North Dynasty, such as the murals of the tomb of Lou Rui, the murals of the tomb of Jiuyuangang in Shanxi, and the murals of the tomb of Shuiquanliang are displayed in the Shanxi Museum. On the 24th, the painter Chen Danqing, who heard the news, said at the exhibition site that the excavation of the murals in the northwestern Shanxi filled the gap in the history of art from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

　　In the exhibition hall on the first floor of the Shanxi Museum, dozens of murals of the Northern Dynasties stand against the wall. In a separate rope, these murals spanning more than 1500 years of history have a silent dialogue with today's people in the form of "naked exhibition". Under the soft light, "feast for the masses", "collective hunting", "pommel horse riding tour", "tomb master ascending to the sky" and other fantasy or realistic scenes are reproduced in the world, and even ancient constructions that have no surviving samples have been shown.

　　Curator Liang Yujun introduced that during the Northern Dynasties, Shanxi was the core region of Northern Wei and Eastern Wei and Northern Qi. Pingcheng (now Datong) and Jinyang (now Taiyuan) areas have a large number of cultural relics of the Northern Dynasty, and the tomb murals are particularly interesting. Among them, the mural of Lou Rui's tomb is a representative work of Chinese painting art in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, filling the blank of painting in the Northern Dynasty in the history of art; the mural of the tomb of Jiuyuangang is all-inclusive: flying fairy, galloping horse, huge queue, savage warriors, and so on A microcosm of the Northern Dynasty society; Shuozhou Shuiquanliang Beiqi tomb uses advanced "restorative" protection technology to move the entire tomb into the hall.

　　In the exhibition hall, the painter Chen Danqing, who heard the news, admired at close range, and also lamented the unique value of the Northern Dynasty murals.

　　"The Northern Qi Mural is an unprecedented work in the history of Chinese murals, and it is also very rare in the world. It is completely comparable to ancient Egyptian and Roman murals, and it is irreplaceable." Chen Danqing said that she is the highest state of Chinese line aesthetics.

　　Chen Danqing said that in the history of Chinese art, the paintings of the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties were almost blank. Except for Gu Kaizhi's works, Zhang Sengyao and Yang Zihua's works have not been handed down. The excavation of murals in the Northern Dynasties of Shanxi filled the gap in the history of art from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

　　In recent days, Chen Danqing and his team are nervously shooting the mural painting of the tomb of Xu Xianxiu in Taiyuan Northern Dynasty tomb. Outside of work, Chen Danqing lamented that compared with Shaanxi, "Shanxi was wronged." Most of the outside world pays attention to the cultural relics in Shaanxi, but Shanxi is actually more abundant.

　　As early as 1979, Chen Danqing went to Ruicheng, Shanxi to copy the murals of Yongle Palace; in 1995, Chen Danqing went to Yungang Grottoes, Wutai Mountain, Jinci Temple, Pingyao and other places in Shanxi to search for the ancient and secluded.

　　Chen Danqing said that the Western mural lines come from outlines, and the Chinese mural lines come from calligraphy, which is also reflected in the Northern Dynasty murals.

　　At this time, Chen Danqing is preparing to record a video program about the murals of the Northern Dynasty. In his view, the authors of the Northern Dynasty tomb murals are extremely artistic, but they don't seem to care that the paintings are buried underground and will never be known. As a painter, he was very concerned about the artist's artistic history at that time. (Finish)
