Doutu Continent

The theory that painting is divided into northern and southern schools has been around for a long time, and it has been dug up and brought up again in recent years.

The Northern and Southern Schools are not divided by region, but by techniques, painting skills and characteristics.In a nutshell, it is classified according to "ink" and "green".

Ink and wash in the south, blue and green in the north.

Therefore, although the Mochi Academy of Painting is located in the north, it belongs to the southern sect because of the ink painting method.The Qingyun Academy of Painting, located in the east, is classified as the Northern School because of its blue and green landscape painting method.

Ink painting pays more attention to meaning than shape, pays attention to artistic conception, does not have too strict pursuit of painting skills and forms, and pays more attention to the combination of calligraphy and painting.However, the green and green landscape emphasizes realism and requires stricter technical skills.

Both are the pursuit of the way of painting, there is no contradiction, and they can even learn and integrate with each other, and those who have mastered become teachers.However, this simple, blunt and extremely rough theory of the Northern and Southern Schools has shown signs of rising in recent years, and has been used by interested people to belittle and exclude the other party, and even the wild fox Zen and the evil sect can say such words.

The painting academies have never popularized such a saying, let alone fueling it, and the five major painting academies have the same spirit.

From the mouth of master Mo Xuetao, Gu Qingzhou knew that someone was going to be unlucky when he heard the two words of painting sub-sect.

"Master, Li Gou...Student Li is looking for a reason to oppose me, not agreeing with the Northern and Southern Schools. The matter between the same sects should be resolved by the disciples themselves, and he has already apologized to me."

Classmates quarrel in private, and the teacher comes forward to reprimand one of them afterwards, and the other will be regarded as a small report.

Mo Xuetao snorted softly: "The teacher knows it well. He has time to listen to the rumors from the outside, which shows that Xian is very powerful, and the teacher will be stricter on him in the future."

Gu Qingzhou mourned silently in his heart, Li Goudan, I can only help you so far, so I can take care of myself in the future.

But he said: "Master is wise."

After being flattered by him, Mo Xuetao was in a happy mood, and even his tone became more gentle.

"Although the Mochi Academy of Painting is one of the five Academy of Painting together with the other four, it is a unique faction, and its strength is also the strongest among the Academy of Painting. Gu Qingzhou, what is your plan?"

"Master, this disciple is stupid and doesn't understand what Master means."

Mo Xuetao closed the fan, tapped the ivory fan bone on the palm of his hand and said, "The little bastard asked you to go to Mochi Painting Academy, and said you couldn't get in. Hmph, as a teacher, I just want to ask you, do you want to go?"

Mo Xuetao asked him if he wanted to go?

What Gu Qingzhou thought was: Can I go?

But just thinking about it, he felt guilty, sorry for the cultivation of Master for so many years.

"Master, I'm not going anywhere, don't drive me away!"

"What are you thinking about? Why did master drive you away?" Mo Xuetao tapped the other party's head with a fan and said, "Qingzhou, Qingzhou! You have been with me for ten years, but you never asked about the origin of your teacher. ?"

"Isn't Master Huajun? What else do you need?"

Mo Xuetao chuckled, his eyes became hazy, as if recalling a past experience that he hadn't recalled for a long time.

"Mochi Painting Academy is the place where the teacher was born." The smile on his face was just a habit, not from the heart. "My teacher's surname is Mo, and the dean of the Mochi Painting Academy is also surnamed Mo. He is my elder brother."

Gu Qingzhou had heard such rumors before, but he had never heard of it from his master.

"Master, what kind of place is that?"

Mo Xuetao's eyes were blurred.

"The pen mound is as low as a mountain, and the ink pool is shallow and deep like the sea. It's the ink pool painting academy." He whispered softly, "I couldn't stand it, so I ran away."

"Ah?" Gu Qingzhou was really stunned now, "Master escaped, but wants to send the apprentice to suffer?"

Mo Xuetao rolled his eyes, and beat the opponent's head several times with his fan.

"I can't stand my brother. It has nothing to do with the painting academy. It's a good place."

"Then master and brother..."

"He's too nagging, it's annoying to listen to."

"Uh..." Gu Qingzhou felt that the brewed emotions were in vain.

Mo Xuetao regained his arrogant appearance, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, I mentioned this matter today as a teacher, just want to tell you that even if you don't have a heart, you can enter the Mochi Painting Academy if you want. Not surprisingly?"

"Cough, not at all..." Gu Qingzhou rubbed his forehead and said, "Where is the master, the apprentice is there!"

"Good disciple." Mo Xuetao said with deep eyes.

But now is not the time to let the apprentice be willful, what should be said must be clearly stated.

Mo Xuetao said: "Before you were promoted to a painter, the teacher deliberately let you get in touch with ink painting skills to learn from each other's strengths. After you become a painter, you can't just stick to the small world in front of you, you must broaden your horizons. Therefore, my apprentice Qingzhou , if you want to go to the Mochi Painting Academy for further study, you can tell me at any time. The master will arrange it for you. I still have this little bit, your master, and me."

As he spoke, he raised his head, looked to the north, and said with emotion: "I'm just teaching at Qingyun Academy of Painting for my teacher, so I can't go with you."

Then there was a murmur.

"My elder brother hopes that I will go back to take over and he will be free. Hehe, I'm not stupid."

"..." Gu Qingzhou pretended not to hear what Master said.He was hit on the head continuously, staring at his eyes, but fortunately, Master was concerned that he was an injured patient, so the wound between his eyebrows was not affected at all.

"Master, even if you want to let me go out to practice, you must first solve the problem at hand-the heart-picking hand!" Gu Qingzhou said seriously, "When Junior Brother Ling and I came back today, we met some female disciples. My eyes reveal a murderous look."

He decided to keep the secret of the first natal spirit map, and changed his rhetoric, hoping to win the other party's trust.

"Master, do you know Yun Zhixian? I think she is suspicious."

Mo Xuetao thought about it: "Yun Zhixian? I have a little impression, do you remember anything?"

Gu Qingzhou smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Just seeing her, I have a strong feeling—it's her! Master, this person feels very dangerous to my disciples!"

Mo Xuetao pondered: "I know it as a teacher. I will ask people to keep an eye on her to see if there is anything unusual about her. Disciple, you should not act without authorization recently, and let that kid Ling Feihang stay calm and don't cause trouble for me."

Gu Qingzhou nodded sharply, holding a note with a little ink bird in his hand.

Sure enough, there was more confusion, the painting academy must have secretly arranged, for example, when he lifted the seal on the studio's courtyard door, the master happened to come over, and even Junior Brother Ling put a black ink bird on the roof of his house, and the master quickly noticed.

Then he "plays with mud", does Master also know the reason?

Gu Qingzhou denied it as soon as he thought about it.Even Master Hua is not omnipotent.Otherwise, what happened to him that day would not have happened.

Mo Xuetao saw that although he responded, he was careless, and his mind wandered not knowing where he was going, so he stepped forward and grabbed the cloth at the back of his neck, and was about to carry him back to the room.

"Stay well in your room and recuperate! Now you have no self-protection ability at all, and you are still wandering around in the painting academy, and you can actually walk to the place where the female disciple is."

"I'm wronged, Master, today is really a coincidence!" Gu Qingzhou used both hands and feet, managed to escape the arrest of Master, and confessed.

"Master, I was just about to tell you! My apprentice has recently sorted out some exotic inspirations that I have realized, and I have gained unexpected gains, so it is not completely incapable of self-protection!"

As he spoke, he took out his emoticon pack to show the master, it was just what he was experimenting with.

"..." Mo Xuetao stared at the picture in his hand, wanted to describe it, but didn't know how to comment, frowned in disgust, and choked out a sentence for a long time.

"It's ugly."

"..."

The author has something to say:

The five academies all belong to the School of Painting, and the Northern and Southern Schools used here are different from those in history, so don't be misled by me.

In the history of Northern and Southern Schools, Chinese paintings are classified according to ink and green, which is actually the distinction between literati and traditional painters.

Nanzong paintings are literati paintings, while Beizong paintings can be regarded as court or painting academy painters, the kind that are practiced hard, and green landscapes require more skill than ink and wash.Famous ones such as "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" by Wang Ximeng belonged to the painting academy.

The following is my personal opinion, please do not hit me if I am wrong, accept criticism and correction.

At that time, there were many literati and painters, and their status was relatively high. They classified ink and wash as the Southern sect, worshiping the South and demoting the North, and gradually moved away from extreme theories.

The status of painters in history is indeed low.There was an official literati who was good at painting, and the emperor asked him to enter the palace to paint. The little eunuch didn't call his official position, but directly asked the painter XX to come. He was so angry that he never painted again, and he would not let future generations paint.

Literati painting, rewriting and light painting, although calligraphy and painting have the same origin, but painting and calligraphy also need to spell calligraphy and poetry.Literati are good at this kind of thing, there is nothing wrong with it.

The northern and southern sects prevailed for more than two hundred years and influenced the creative direction of many painters until they were gradually corrected in modern times.They are both paintings, and the techniques can be learned and combined with each other. There is no need to force classification. Both painting methods have their own unique charm. With the development of the times, ink painting is now the mainstream, and it also incorporates some green techniques.
