"Lotus Pond

Paintings featured

1. The beauty of blending work and writing: using the heavy color technique, the lotus flowers are dyed with a gradation of pinkish haze using the bone-less method, while the scales of the koi carp are overlaid with crimson and gold, achieving a perfect balance between realism and realism on the silk.
2. Static and dynamic philosophical layout: three groups of koi carp form a “Pin” dynamic – the swooping one stirs up the water, the tail swings to form a ring of ripples, and the head high one breaks through the water and wants to leap, concealing the oriental philosophical concept of “three beings and all things”.
3. Color energy field: Cinnabar red koi carp and emerald green lotus leaves form a symphony of complementary colors, while titanium-white water glows in the mist rendered by light ink in the background, creating a sense of visual extension of the “infinity of the lotus leaves in the sky”.

Details

• The dorsal fins of the main carp are dyed using the ancient method of “Nine Dyes and Three Alums”, with each scale overlaid with the colors of rouge, vermilion fat and mud gold, and the dark mark of “auspicious clouds” outlined in 24K gold wire can be seen in the backlight.
• Lotus shadow microcosm: the blooming lotus flower is outlined with 128 stamen filaments by 0.3mm mouse brush, and the holes of the lotus seedpods are hidden with the micro-carving of “A-Chen”; the worm-etched patterns of the withered lotus leaves naturally form the mathematical mapping of “Hetu”.
• The water pattern mystery: the ripples use a modified version of “net towel chapped”, 108 concentric circles in line with the “Zhouyi” trigrams, the southeast direction of the hidden “back to the character pattern” base map, and the leaping carp constitute “like a fish to get the water” auspicious code.

Artistic Value

• Inheritance of non-fangled techniques: recovering the “Nine Research Methods of Mineral Pigments” of the Qing Dynasty court, the spectral detection contains rare raw materials such as cinnabar and malachite, and the light resistance reaches the international museum-level standard.
• A breakthrough in fluid aesthetics: the dynamic trajectory of the koi has been verified by 3D fluid dynamics, and the curvature of the tail fin precisely matches the Reynolds number 2500-4000 turbulence model, and the work has been incorporated into the teaching case of “Ink and Wash Digitization” by the Central University of Fine Arts (CUFDA).
• Integration of auspicious symbols: The nine lotus flowers are a metaphor for the “Nine Generations”, and the three koi tails are an auspicious omen for the “Three in a Row”, which has been selected for inclusion in the British Museum’s “Oriental Patterns Genetic Repository” digital collection.

Collector’s significance

The Lotus Pond Jinyun is not only a three-dimensional illustration of the Poetry Scriptures – “Fish Playing among Lotus Leaves”, it is also a flowing code of good luck, which allows the viewer to embrace the true meaning of oriental aesthetics of “Feng Sheng Shui Rising” amidst the reflection of vermillion scales and blue leaves.
