The white horse and the west wind plug the apricot flowers and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

"White horses are blocked by the west wind, and apricot flowers are misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River" means: on the Saibei grassland blown by the west wind, a group of fine horses are running wildly; In the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River, apricot blossoms bloom in the spring rain. This sentence comes from the antithetical couplet written by Mr. Xu Beihong, a modern painter and art educator.

The creation background of "White Horse on the West Wind, Apricot Flowers in the South of the Yangtze River" and Ke (Zi) both worked in the Pavilion (Gongxi), and Jiu Si is famous for his paintings. In our collection of poems, there are several paintings with the title of Ke.

Ke Jiu Si, the hero of The Concubine, is forty years old, that is to say, he forgot to make friends. Yu Ji grew up in Chongren, Linchuan, also known as Jiangnan West Road in Song Dynasty. He often thinks of Jiangnan in his poems. Later, due to the kindness of the Yuan Lord, he was jealous of the powerful descendants and wanted to vilify him, but without success, he was more eager to return to the south.

He once wrote a letter to Xiaocao, saying that Yuan Shundi was not a literate son. After the death of his educated son, Yu Ji felt uneasy that the minister wanted to establish Shun Di. Some ministers didn't want him to stay in Beijing, so they returned to Linchuan because of illness. This word should have been written in this period.

Xu Beihong introduced that Xu Beihong is a modern painter and art educator in China. Good at figures, animals, flowers and birds, advocating realism. He is regarded as the founder of modern art education in China. Xu Beihong advocated the development of "improvement of Chinese painting", based on China's modern realistic art, and put forward "On Improvement of Chinese Painting" under the background of decadent modern Chinese painting.

Xu Beihong emphasized that the reform of Chinese painting is combined with western painting techniques. He advocated the use of light and modeling in his paintings, emphasized the accurate grasp of the anatomical structure and bones of the object, and emphasized the ideological connotation of his works, which had a great influence on China painting circles at that time. He, Zhang Shuqi and Liu Zigu are also called "the three outstanding artists in Jinling". His traditional Chinese paintings are full of color and ink, especially running horses.

Xu Beihong created thousands of Chinese paintings, oil paintings and sketches in his life. Beijing Xu Beihong Memorial Hall collects more than 65,438+0,000 pieces of his works in various periods, and other works are scattered in private collections in Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong, Southeast Asia and all over the world.
