Historical origin
Internal painting is a unique traditional craft in China. It has a deep historical origin with snuff and snuff bottle. Snuff is a kind of tobacco fine foam mixed with vanilla and spice flower dew to develop a yellow powder with the effect of "eliminating cold and preventing epidemic". During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Italian missionary Matteo Ricci introduced it to China as a tribute. By the Qing Dynasty, this kind of palace articles had been introduced into the folk, and the custom of "handing cigarette pots to everyone" appeared. People liked snuff and "envied collecting utensils". This custom promoted the production of snuff pots to be more and more sophisticated.
In 1696, Emperor Kangxi, who had excellent snuff, set up the first glass factory in China, specializing in making snuff bottles and awarding them to the Minister of Construction and foreign envoys. The snuff bottle has become one of the symbols for the eight banners'children to boast their status and identity. During the reign of Qianlong, the production of snuff bottles developed from materials (glass) and porcelain to ivory, amber, coral, agate, crystal, bamboo root and so on. In the year of Xianfeng, "Snuff Song" wrote that "Phoenix Luan Crane and Sparrow, Kirin Lion and Dragon Fish. Xianshan Pavilion is full of smoke and shush, spring rocks and plants, wood frogs and grasshoppers. The material of snuff bottle covers six categories: metal, jade, stone, pottery, material ware and organic matter. The process includes traditional writing, painting, carving, carving, carving, stencil, firing, welding, chisel, grinding, inlaying, casting, error, sticking, lacquer and moulding technology. Snuff bottle has become the epitome of the Qing Dynasty's arts and crafts and is called "collection" by later generations. China's pocket artworks of various arts and crafts are well known all over the world.
In the late Qianlong period, the snuff bottle with inner painting was born. The interior painting makes the snuff bottle craft reach the artistic effect of "a thousand miles in an inch" and makes the snuff bottle craft reach the exquisite level. It is called "incredible, ghostly axe and supernatural workmanship" art in the world. In 1968, collectors from all over the world established the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society. Experts divide the art of Chinese interior painting into four schools: Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong.
The Beijing School originated in the Qianlong period, and many outstanding interior painters emerged, such as Ma Shaoxuan, Sun Xingwu and Ye Zhongsan, who were good at figures in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic, and Zhou Leyuan, Bian Zhong and Ziyizi, who were good at painting landscapes, flowers and birds. Liu Shouben is the representative of modern Beijing School. The Beijing School maintained the traditional techniques and painting style of the "Ye School", and painted with bamboo and willow hook brushes. The style of painting was simple, vigorous, elegant and gorgeous, and the coloring was full and mellow.
During the Guangxu period, Bi Rongjiu, an old Shandong artist, brought the art of interior painting back to Boshan. After nearly a hundred years of development, the "Lu School" was formed. The school not only improved the dyestuffs of interior painting, but also reformed the tools of interior painting. It painted with bamboo and willow brushes, forming the features of Lu school with rich pictures, fine lines and flowing elegance.
"Cantonese Painting" is also known as "Taojiang Painting". It was founded by Wu Songling, an old artist in the late period of the Cultural Revolution. Cantonese cigarette pots are light and elegant. The pot body is decorated with golden patterns. They are brilliant and unique in style.
Wang Xisan, the founder of inner painting of Ji School, is the first disciple of Ye Xiaofeng and Ye Fengqi, the cotyledons of Ye Zhongsan, the old artist of Beijing School. In the late 1950s, Wang Xisan mastered the techniques of "Ye School" painting, and introduced cats into snuff bottles. He used fine brushwork "tearing hair" to draw the cat's eyes and the fluffy texture of cats, which solved the problem of freehand brushwork painting of cats, rigid image and lack of authenticity. And created a special tool of Hengshui inner painting, metal rod hook brush, that is, "learn three curves hook brush", the pen rod straight bend, can change direction at will.
Foreign expert Bob Stevens said that "the cat look he painted was so lively that it seemed that he was about to jump out of the pot." In 1966, Wang Xisan was repatriated to Fucheng County, Hebei Province, in the campaign of "sweeping the Four Old Ages" during the Cultural Revolution. He was in adversity and had several ups and downs, but pursued artistic progress relentlessly with tenacious perseverance. In Yangzhuang Village, Fucheng County, he started internal painting in the form of sideline brushwork, laying a solid foundation for the creation of "Ji School" internal painting, and received four batches of apprentices successively. Dozens of novices in interior painting have developed Hengshui interior painting into a "modern most powerful" school.
In 1968, collectors from all over the world established the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society. Experts divide the art of Chinese interior painting into four schools: Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong. Among them, "Ji School" interior painting originated in Hengshui, because Hengshui interior painting art is unique, it was named "the hometown of Chinese interior painting art" by the Ministry of Culture.
