Extended data:
"A grass comes out of water" and "Five Dynasties when the wind" are two different forms of expression of ancient figure painting. The difference is that A Grass Out of Water emphasizes formal beauty and deliberately depicts the graceful figure of the characters. The Wind in the Five Dynasties pays attention to the expression of beauty and tends to highlight the demeanor and charm of the characters.
As a religious art style with sharp contrast between the two styles, it attracted people's attention as early as the Tang Dynasty and had a great influence on the development of Buddhist art after that.
At that time, the style of "a grass comes out of water" combined exotic customs with traditional aesthetic elements in China, which made China people feel refreshed and brought fresh breath to the style of Buddha statues.
The painting style of "Five Dynasties as the Wind" was improved on the basis of the previous Buddhist painting style, and formed an artistic style with China characteristics, which promoted the formation of "Zhou Family Style" in later generations.
"Zhou School of Painting" refers to the important painters after Wu Daozi. His Buddhist paintings have become a popular standard for a long time, which is called "Zhou Family Painting Style". There are three volumes handed down from generation to generation, namely, the picture of a hairpin and a phoenix, the picture of a beautiful woman shaking a fan, and the picture of tuning the piano and sipping tea.
