ABSTRACT

The lyrical literati paintings gradually developed by Dong and Ju, influenced by the neat and exquisite style of the Southern Song court during the Song Dynasty's southward migration, have become increasingly decadent in the art world, but also in need of revival. During the late Song and early Yuan dynasties, Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322 AD), who was renowned for his expertise in calligraphy and painting, was one of the literati painters who learned from the ancients. He was a simple, elegant, and lyrical painter from the Kaiyuan period. This article first starts from the historical background of Zhao Mengfu's proposal of Ancient Idea, and reflects on the subject matter and changes in brushwork of each image element in the timeless painting Autumn Colors on the Que and Hua Mountains. By examining the widespread attention and historical inheritance of the theory of Ancient Idea in the history of Chinese painting, we can further recognize the artistic contributions contained in Zhao Mengfu's painting practice and theory.
