1, map of Luoshen House
Luo Shen Fu is a work by Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The original volume of Luoshen Fu Tu is a colorful silk book. It is a long scroll composed of multiple storylines, similar to comics, and has been lost.
At present, there are four books handed down from ancient times, which are collected in the Palace Museum (two books), the Liaoning Provincial Museum and the friel Art Museum.
The picture starts from the right. The first paragraph describes the evening when Cao Zhi and his party returned to the fief from Beijing and stopped to have a rest when passing by the bank of Luoshui. On the calm water, the graceful and affectionate Luoshen belt is elegant and smart, coming from Ling Bo.
On the bank of the willow tree, Cao Zhi leaned forward slightly and held out his hands to block his followers. The followers were glassy-eyed, while Cao Zhi was staring at the beautiful Luo God on the water ahead.
Through this instant action, the painter not only vividly showed Cao Zhi's surprise when he saw Luo Shen, but also vividly showed Cao Zhi's inner activities deeply attracted by the peerless beauty of Luo Shen.
Cao Zhi expressed his deep love for Luo Shen by giving her a gift. Luo Shen pointed out that he dived deeply, but Cao Zhi was afraid of being cheated, and his mood was contradictory. So they got together and treated each other with courtesy and affection.
Luoshen plays fairy, Fengshen is affected by the wind, He Shen smoothes water waves, Shuishen drums, female snails dance, Luoshen looms in the air, in the mountains and in the water, and is good at dancing with long sleeves.
Through the joyful banter between the goddess and the immortal, it paved the way for the separation of Luo Shen and Cao Zhi, and set off the helpless and contradictory inner state of the goddess.
The second paragraph describes the scene where people and gods have to hate each other and leave, which is the climax of the story. The painter vigorously described the lineup when Luo Shen left, and the scene was grand and exciting. Six dragons are driving a cloud car, and Luo Shen is driving a cloud car to sail. Whale navigation surged around the car from the bottom of the water
Six dragons, amphioxus and whales are depicted in detail and vividly. Cloud cars and clouds are flying in the sky, and the parting scene is very lively and fascinating.
On the shore, with the help of his entourage, Cao Zhi watched Luo Shen fade away, with endless sadness and helplessness in his eyes. Luo Shen kept looking back at Cao Zhi on the shore, and his eyes showed reluctance and attachment. With the distance between them getting farther and farther, the helpless pain in Cao Zhi and Luo Shen's heart is set off, which makes the sad atmosphere in the picture more intense.
The last part describes driving and starting. It shows Cao Zhi's deep nostalgia and yearning for Luo Shen after she left. Cao Zhi chased the cloud car upstream in a canoe, hoping to see the beautiful image of Luo Shen again. However, the separation of man and god, Luo Shen has long since disappeared.
The feeling of missing and sadness can't control myself, so that I can't sleep all night, and I can't get rid of it until dawn by Luoshui. Until his entourage drove on the road, Cao Zhi kept looking back. Finally, with a feeling of reluctance and helplessness, he embarked on the road back to the fief.
Cao Zhi's infinite disappointment is vividly presented on the scroll, which makes the viewer infected by the sincere feelings between Luo Shen and Cao Zhi.
