八大山人的传世之作《河上花图卷》以大写意手法铺就的花之长河映照出他对生命之长河的吟咏和喟叹。他吟诵着李白的诗句,参悟着曹洞宗的禅理,挥舞着大笔写出一个心中世界,荷花、荷叶、莲子无不是人生隐喻。两种莲花,是身体和灵魂的双重叙事;一在眼前,荣枯变相,随遇而安;一在彼岸,寄予禅定,永不凋零。 The passing of the Badashanren, the “flower map on the river”, reflects the chanting and sighing of his long life with the flowers of the capital in the upper hand. He recite Li Bai’s poem, ginseng Cao Dongzong’s Zen Buddhism, waving a big pen to write a heart of the world, lotus, lotus leaf, lotus seeds are all metaphors of life. The two kinds of lotus flower are the double narration of the body and the soul. In front of each other, the prosperity and disguise are matched with each other. When one is on the other side, meditation is given and never dies.
