Wen Dian 文點 completed "Guanyuan tu" 灌園圖in 1668 for Li Liangnian 李良年. This painting later became one of the three most famous extant paintings from Kangxi's reign and bears the inscriptions of many elite intellectuals. Themes include finding comfort in poverty and simplicity, living in austerity, withdrawing from the world, and enhancing oneself. The most talked about passages by Wang Wan 汪琬, who added the most inscriptions to the painting, are "Guanyuan tu ji," 灌園圖記a n d "Guanyuan shi houxu" 灌園詩後序, on the theme of taking care of one's mother. This study explores the literati portrait built up in "GlIanyuan tu ji," reading it as a "life of Li Liangnian." Proceeding from an unimportant chance event in his life, this research places Li at the tipping point of directional changes in the philosophical climate of the early Qing dynasty, and deeply entangled within a political power struggle. Adopting a "new cultural history" approach, it seeks to understand the viewer's complex mental state when interacting with ancestral images, as well as related interpretations and literature of similar imagery. This research attempts to unravel the multiple layers of the production, dissemination, and developing interpretations of this collection of ancestral representations. |
