| 内容简介（英文） | Ch'en Jung, a native of Fukien province, received his chin-shih degree in 1235 and went on to serve as Prefect of P'u-t'ien. He excelled at painting dragons, using splashed ink to create clouds and sprayed water for the effect of mist, creating a variety of imaginative and evocative forms. It is said that after getting drunk, he would take off his cap and moisten it in ink to create a composition, finishing it with his brush. He either painted dragons as a whole or only in part, suggesting them as hidden in mist, rain and clouds. Intended or not, the effect was equally marvelous. He was famed for paintings of dragons during the Pao-yu era (1253-1258) of Emperor Li-tsung. |
