Huang Gongwang (1269-1354) was a renowned Taoist painter of the Yuan Dynasty. His original surname is Lu and his given name is Jian. He is from Fuyang, Zhejiang Province. According to the "Record of Ghosts", he was originally a descendant of the Lu family in Gusu. In his childhood, he was adopted by the Huang family of Yongxi and thus changed his surname to Huang. And because his father was over ninety years old before he got it, he said, "I have longed for my son for a long time." Thus it was named. Therefore, his given name was Gongwang, his courtesy name was Zijiu, his pseudonym was Yifeng, and he was also known as Daichi Daoist. In his later years, because his master Jinyueyan built a Penglai Hermitage on Shengjing Mountain, he was also known as Jingxi Daoist. He was once a clerk in the Central Prosecutor's Office and was falsely accused and imprisoned. After his release, he followed Jin Yueyan to enter the Quanzhen Path, became the abbot of the Wanshou Palace, and advised the Kaiyuan Palace. He made a living by selling divination in places like Hangzhou and Songjiang. In his later years, he delved into the study of life and nature. The Ming Dynasty's "Zhengtong Daozang" includes ten volumes of "Mr. Paper Boat's Golden Elixir Pointing" compiled by Jin Yueyan through his biography. At the age of 86, he passed away in Hangzhou. Huang Gongwang was known as a child prodigy when he was young. He was well-versed in classics and history, proficient in music and rhythm, skilled in Sanqu, poetry and prose, and skilled in calligraphy and painting, especially excelling in landscape painting. His painting followed the techniques of Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, and was guided by Zhao Mengð « - ¯. In his later years, he developed his own style He has a deep love for nature and spends his days wandering among mountains and waters. "All day long, I just sit in the wild mountains, among the jumble of rocks and deep woods." Having enjoyed the natural beauty of mountains and rivers, and every time he went out, he would "put a pen in his leather bag, or when he saw strange trees in a beautiful spot, he would imitate and record them." Very few of his early works have survived to this day. At that time, his style was rigorous, genuine, meticulous and more focused on likeness. In his later years, his works pursued the spirit and charm, integrating poetry, calligraphy and painting. He did not emphasize resemblance in form and mostly depicted light crimson landscapes. His brushstrokes were concise and precise, the brushwork was profound and vast, the peaks were thick and the momentum was majestic and elegant. Later generations collectively referred to him as one of the "Four Great Masters of the Yuan Dynasty" along with Wu Zhen, Wang Meng and Ni Zan. He has a large number of works. Fifty-one of them have been preserved to this day, among which more than twenty are scattered in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom and other places, and another part is in the Taipei Palace Museum. The main works include: "The Intention of Stream, Mountain and Rain", "The Stone Wall of Tianchi Lake", "The Snow-Capped Nine Peaks", "The Jade Tree on the Red Cliff", "The Secluded and Peaceful Zishan", "The Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", etc. Among them, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was created in the fourth year of the Zhi Zheng era (1344) and is his representative work in his later years. When the painting was collected by the Wu family of Yixing during the Qing Dynasty, it was burned by fire. Although it was snatched out, it was already in a state of disrepair. Now part of it is kept in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, and the other part is kept in the Taipei Palace Museum. His works include "The Art of Writing Landscapes".
