During the reign of Kangxi, there was a royal painter named Yu, who studied painting since childhood and was knowledgeable. At that time, he had the title of "Yu painter", so he was quite conceited.

"Jade Painting Sage" works for the palace, and is often said by the audience that Emperor Kangxi is talented, noble in interest and good at painting. "Yu Huaxian" doesn't think so. I think Kangxi is the emperor, of course you should praise him. I don't believe that the emperor knows everything. I, the "sage of painting", based on my own talent, can't get along with flatterers.

To be clear, Michelle Ye, the Holy Father, heard that there was such a proud painter, and he also wanted to see how capable this person really was.

One day, I came to the Forbidden City incognito, and saw Yu's painting "Wang Shizhen Sit-in Whispering", which was quite bold and informal, and I was delighted after reading it.

But when the emperor scolded him, he alarmed all the officials. They all knelt on the steps in awe and shouted, "Long live my emperor!" " "

Emperor Kangxi smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm here to see the paintings. You're welcome."

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Jade Painter thought, why not take this opportunity to try the emperor's artistic accomplishment in painting and show his talents in front of the emperor?

So he went out and said in a clear voice, "I am Yu." I am a fool, and I am a rough painter. Please advise! "

Emperor Kangxi said; "Don't stick to the ceremony, stand straight." While looking at Yu, I thought, this is obviously to see if I have the level of painting appreciation! Thanks to the old man's character, he said happily, "Your paintings are rigorous in composition, firm in brushwork, mellow in dosage, rich in shades and free to write." Although limited by the scale, it contains the state of' blowing clouds and holding the sun'. Wang Shizhen sat alone in a secluded place, his eyes blurred, although he avoided the world and hated the customs. "
