Idioms and allusions

At first, "a new face" comes from this poem: "Ling Yan's meritorious officials are few, and the general writes a new face." The allusions of these two poems are related to Cao Ba, a famous painter in Tang Dynasty, because these are Du Fu's poems praising Cao BA's superb painting. Later, it was also seen in a dream of Red Mansions. Later generations use it to describe strange and creative activities, writing or painting, many scenes can be used. Cao Ba, a famous painter in Tang Dynasty, is good at painting figures and horses. His fame spread to Chang'an, the capital, and even Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, who lived in the palace, knew about it. Xuanzong often called him into Xingqing palace, ordered him to paint on the spot, and often gave him rich rewards. Because Cao BA was favored by the emperor, the princes, nobles and government families in Chang'an City were proud of his paintings. We don't hesitate to buy his ink at a high price. in the Taiji palace to the north of Chang'an, there is a famous Lingyan Pavilion. The walls of the pavilion are painted with portraits of 24 founding ministers of the Tang Dynasty. These portraits were painted by Yan Liben, a famous painter more than 70 years ago. As a result of the age, most of the original vivid images of meritorious officials have been peeled off, not only losing their original style, but also some are difficult to recognize. For this reason, Xuanzong called Cao Ba and asked him to paint again. It is not easy to redraw the portraits of meritorious officials. Cao Ba read a lot of historical materials, compared with the already dim portraits of meritorious officials, carefully pondered, carefully conceived, and then painted. Soon, the portraits of the 24 meritorious officials reappeared and presented themselves in a new style. Cao Ba is good at drawing both figures and horses. Once, Emperor Xuanzong told Cao Ba to enter the palace. On the spot, he asked someone to bring his favorite horse, Cong, and ordered Cao Ba to paint for it. Cao Ba asked his attendants to paste a huge white silk on the wall of the hall. At the same time, he observed the jade flower for a long time. Then he turned around and quickly waved his ink. Before long, the Jade Flower of the mighty God Jun appeared on the white silk. The more Xuanzong saw it, the more satisfied he was. He immediately asked his attendants to take a lot of gold and silk to reward Cao Ba, and made him general zuowuwei. After appointing Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and other powerful officials, Xuanzong was fond of sound and color, extravagant and licentious, and ignored political affairs for a long time. Cao BA was less and less called to the palace to paint. Later, he was convicted of a minor crime, removed from his official post and demoted to a civilian, so he had to leave Chang'an. In 755 ad, an Lushan and Shi Siming launched a rebellion and Xuanzong fled to Sichuan. Cao Ba also lived in Chengdu, living on the streets for the portraits of passers-by, and the night was extremely bleak. Once upon a time, Du Fu, a famous poet, came to Chengdu and saw Cao BA's painting nine horses at his friend's home. He learned that the famous painter was also in Chengdu, so he went to look for it. After several inquiries, Cao BA was finally found in the street. When Du Fu learned about Cao BA's life experience and experience, he was very sympathetic and sentimental, and wrote a poem for him. There are two lines in the poem: "Ling Yan's meritorious officials are few in color, and the general's writing will make a fresh face." The meaning of these two poems is: the statues of meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion have lost their brilliant colors. Thanks to your general Zuo Wuwei's writing, they have regained their luster.
