"The White Sea and Green Song" is a work created by the Qing Dynasty poet Hongli (1758) in the year of Wu Yin. Source: Imperial Poetry Volume 75, Volume 2 The birds of prey fly from the east of the sea, named after their green leaves. Qiaoying Haoyu is a rare and majestic figure. Not only does it boast of auspiciousness, but it is also precious and pure, with a unique and unparalleled spiritual radiance. Double eyed fire hanging together as pearls, covered in pear blossoms flying like snow. Eagle houses are used for feeding, and there is a responsibility to support the grain and meat. It can be inferred from the error of building houses that the Five Fang Children's Ring can be imagined. After trying to raise livestock, the golden belt and emerald reeds finally took off their arms. The wings droop and the divine stamen bends over the wild thorns, and when entering the clouds, the pheasant escapes without a trace. Assuming that the mountains and forests are all like this, the prey will starve to death, leaving nothing behind. Serving others and calculating oneself, strength and weakness are fixed and appropriate. The combination of strength and powerlessness is appropriate, and one can't help but cry out, how can a person be like a bird. Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1766) was a Catholic Jesuit monk and painter from Milan, Italy. In 1715 (the 54th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty), he came to China to preach and immediately went to the imperial palace to work as a palace painter. After experiencing the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, he engaged in painting in China for more than 50 years and participated in the design of the Western Tower in the Old Summer Palace. He was one of the top ten palace painters of the Qing Dynasty. Lang Shining is skilled in painting horses, portraits, flowers and animals. His style emphasizes the integration of Western painting techniques with traditional Chinese brush and ink, which was favored by the emperor and greatly influenced the Qing court painting and aesthetic taste after Kangxi. His main works include "Ten Steeds of Dogs", "Hundred Steeds", "Qianlong's Great Reading", "Ruigu", "Flowers and Birds", "Hundred Sons", "Jurui", "Immortal Sepal Changchun Album", "Heart Writing for Peace", "Qianlong Emperor's Empress Consort Picture Scroll", "White Sea Qing", and so on. This work was created at the end of Xin in the 16th year of the Qianlong reign (1751), which was also the first year of Emperor Qianlong's southern tour. Khan Erdeni of the Hui tribe in Xinjiang paid tribute to Bai Haiqing, and Lang Shining was ordered to paint it. Emperor Qianlong wrote the "White Haiqing Song" to record the truth. Haidongqing is the most expensive eagle product, with pure white being the top. The white eagle in the painting has bright eyes, is rebellious and ready to soar. The sharp beak is curved, and the hook claws are sharp. Lang Shining used delicate and realistic brushwork to handle the texture and luster of feathers. He served as a court painter for a long time during the Qianlong Dynasty (1686-1756). During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, many tribes surrendered and paid tribute, and the Qing Dynasty's national strength reached its peak. Emperor Qianlong often wrote poems and recitations on these bird and beast paintings, expressing his pride in the grand event of "coming to the court from all over the world.". The painting "White Sea Green" is a large scale painting by Lang Shining with pure meticulous brushwork. It is a rare treasure in the world and is collected by private Chinese masters. Haidongqing is the highest totem of the Manchu people. The Chinese name Zheying, also known as Xiongkulu in Sushen language (Manchu), means the highest and fastest bird in the world, and has the meaning of "the god of thousands of eagles". Legend has it that only 100000 divine eagles can produce a sea east blue. Qianlong couldn't put down his love for the divine bird, and he painted it with the ink of a palace painter. The flowing clouds and flowing water wrapped around the plain paper, creating a vivid charm that was about to break the painting. It has extremely high historical and cultural relic collection value!
