WU BOLI. Dragon Pine

Dragon Pine. Artist: Wu Boli (Chinese, active late 14th-early 15th century). Culture: China. Dimensions: Image: 48 x 13 1/4 in. (121.9 x 33.7 cm)
Overall with mounting: 100 x 18 5/8 in. (254 x 47.3 cm)
Overall with knobs: 100 x 21 in. (254 x 53.3 cm). Date: ca. 1400.
Wu Boli, a Daoist priest at the Shangqing ("Upper Purity") Temple on Dragon Tiger Mountain, Jiangxi Province, was a close folower of Fang Congyi (ca. 1301-ca. 1392). Dragon Pine was painted for Zhang Yuchu, the forty-third Daoist "pope" of the Orthodox Unity sect, and bears his appreciative colophon.
This animated pine recalls an account by the tenth-century hermit-painter Jing Hao that describes "a gigantic pine tree, its aged bark overgrown with lichen, its winged scales seeming to ride in the air. Its stature is like that of a coiling dragon trying to reach the Milky Way." For Jing Hao, as for later artists, the pine signified "the moral character of the virtuous man." Here, the tree may also represent the Daoist sage, or "perfected being." According to Daoist geomantic beliefs, vital energies collect at the base of a mountain slope along the edge of a stream-precisely the location of the pine in Wu Boli's painting.

Autor: WU BOLI (active late 14th-early 15th century)

Título: Dragon Pine

Descripción:

Traducción automática: Pino Dragón. Artista: Wu Boli (chino, activo a finales del siglo XIV y principios del XV). Cultura: China. Dimensiones: Imagen: 48 x 13 1/4 pulg. (121,9 x 33,7 cm) Total con montaje: 100 x 18 5/8 pulg. (254 x 47,3 cm) Total con perillas: 100 x 21 pulg. (254 x 53,3 cm) ). Fecha: ca. 1400. Wu Boli, un sacerdote taoísta en el Templo Shangqing ("Pureza Superior") en la Montaña del Tigre Dragón, provincia de Jiangxi, fue un seguidor cercano de Fang Congyi (ca. 1301-ca. 1392). Dragon Pine fue pintado para Zhang Yuchu, el cuadragésimo tercer "papa" taoísta de la secta de la Unidad Ortodoxa, y lleva su colofón de agradecimiento. Este pino animado recuerda un relato del pintor ermitaño del siglo X Jing Hao que describe "un pino gigantesco, su corteza envejecida cubierta de líquenes, sus escamas aladas que parecen flotar en el aire. Su estatura es como la de un dragón enroscado tratando de llegar a la Vía Láctea". Para Jing Hao, como para los artistas posteriores, el pino significaba "el carácter moral del hombre virtuoso". Aquí, el árbol también puede representar al sabio taoísta, o "ser perfecto". De acuerdo con las creencias geománticas taoístas, las energías vitales se acumulan en la base de la ladera de una montaña a lo largo del borde de un arroyo, precisamente la ubicación del pino en la pintura de Wu Boli.
