四君子

四君子是中国画的传统题材，以梅、兰、竹、菊谓四君子。

明代黄凤池辑有《梅竹兰菊四谱》，从此，梅兰竹菊被称为“四君”。画家用“四君子”来标榜君子的清高品德。《集雅蔡梅竹兰菊四谱小引》：“文房清供，独取梅、竹、兰、菊四君者无他，则以其幽芳逸致，偏能涤人之秽肠而澄莹其神骨”。明万历年间黄凤池还辑有《梅竹兰菊四谱》，一般均借“四君子”来表现正直、虚心、纯洁而有气节的思想感情。各种形式的四君子图案纹样，一直流传到现在。

　　梅，剪雪裁冰，一身傲骨

　　兰，空谷幽香，孤芳自赏

　　竹，筛风弄月，潇洒一生

　　菊，凌霜自行，不趋炎势

据画史记载，南北朝已经有人画梅花，到了北宋，画梅就成了一种风气，最有名的是仲仁和尚，他创墨梅，画梅全不用颜色，只用水墨深浅来加以表现。据说他看到月光把梅花映照在窗纸上的影子，从中得到了启发，便创作出用浓谈相间的水墨晕染而成的墨梅。此后，杨补之在这种基础上又进一步发展了这种画法。创造出一种双勾法来画梅花，使梅花纯洁高雅，野趣盎然。元明以来，用梅花作画更多。元代最大的画梅大师应该首推王冕，他自号梅花屋主，他的水墨梅画一变宋人稀疏冷倚之习，而为繁花密蕊，给人以热烈蓬勃向上之感。王冕的存世名作，是他的一幅《墨梅图》他用单纯的水墨和清淡野逸的笔致，生动地传达出了梅花的清肌傲骨，寄托了文人雅士孤高傲岸的情怀。明清的画梅者举不胜举，如刘世儒、石涛、金农、汪士慎等，从风格来看，他们大体继承了宋人的疏冷和元人的繁密两种画风。

画梅人还必须有画梅人的品格，有人称之为“梅气骨”，一种高尚的情操和洁身自好的品格，正所谓：“画梅须有梅气骨，人与梅花一样清。”

..

人们画兰花，一般都寄托一种幽芳高洁的情操。如楚国诗人屈原就以“秋兰兮清清，绿叶兮紫茎，满堂兮美人”这样的诗句来咏兰。但兰花入画则比梅花晚，大概始于唐代。到了宋朝，画兰花的人便多了起来，据说苏轼就曾画过兰花，而且花中还夹杂有荆棘，寓意君子能容小人。南宋初，人们常以画兰花来表示一种宋邦沦覆之后不随世浮沉的气节，当时的赵孟坚和郑思肖，被同称为墨兰大家。元代以郑所南画兰花最为著名，寓意也最为明确。据说他坐必向南，以示怀念先朝，耻作元朝贰臣；他画的兰花，从不画根，就像飘浮在空中的一样，因：“国土已被番人夺去，我岂肯着地？”。欣赏绘画，也是必须了解历史背景的。而清人画兰，则以“扬州八怪”之一的郑板桥最为著名的了。郑板桥是一个注重师法自然的人，他画过盆兰。但尤嗜好画“乱如蓬”的山中野兰，为此，他曾自种兰花数十盆，并常在三春之后将其移植到野石山阴之处，使其于来年发箭成长，观其挺然直上之状态，闻其浓郁纯正之香味，因而得山中兰“叶暖花酣气候浓”的贞美实质。

　　.

竹入画，大略和兰花相当，也始于唐代。唐代的皇帝唐玄宗、画家王维、吴道子等都喜画竹。据说到了五代，李夫人还创墨竹法，传说她常夜坐床头、见竹影婆娑映于窗纸上、乃循窗纸摹写而创此法。到宋代，苏轼发展了画竹的方法，放弃了以前的画家们的双勾着色法，而把枝干、叶均用水墨来画，深墨为叶面，淡墨为叶背。以后的元明清时代，画竹名家辈出，只要是山水或花鸟画家，没有不画竹的，而且开始强调竹的整体气势。不过，在众多的画家中，郑板桥的画竹也堪称为一绝。 郑板桥的作品，存世较多，流传也广，自清代以来，被世人行家所叹眼，成为“人争宝之”的珍品。

.

菊花入画则稍晚，大略始于五代，比起梅兰竹来说，表现菊花的作品则相对要少得多。五代徐熙、黄筌都画过菊。宋人画菊者极少。元代苏明远、柯九思也有菊的作品。明清两代画菊的也不多。现有明代吴门画派中最享盛名的画家陈淳的一幅《菊石图》藏于首都博物愤，这是本来就较少的菊花作品中的珍品。
