Remarks:
This is my 780th painting since 2003and the 42nd Chinese Gongbi Painting, also it is the 175th assignment that I have completed in Chinese National Academy of Arts .
In the past for about 5000 history of China, Confucianism has been the main Controlling Ideas of the different dynasties.
One of the most important thoughts of the Confucianism is 孝： Xiao -- filial piety. It is the foundatian of educatian of Confucianism, which advocates to obey not only the parents but also all levels of anthorities.
Therefore in the dynasties of past ages, there were some great model people as the examples of the filial piety.
For example, in Han Dynasty (206 BC - 221), Liu Xiang edited a book named 《孝子传》: Xiaozi Chuan - Biographies of the Dutiful Sons;in Yuan Dynasty (1279 - 1368), Guo Jujing (the second versions was his young brother Guo Shouzhen; the third version was Guo Juye)edited and recorded the book 《二十四孝》: Er Shi Si Xiao - Twenty -Four Dutiful Sons，the full name was 《全相二十四孝诗选》- Anthology of Twenty-Four Dutiful Sons.
The book 《二十四孝》: Er Shi Si Xiao - Twenty -Four Dutiful Sons wrote 24 good sons from different angles, circumstances and situations, to admire how they treated their parents with their touched stories of filial piety.
As the popular literatures of Confucianism to admire the filial piety and Confucianism thoughts, most of the printed books included paintings. Therefore, it was also called 《二十四孝图》: Er Shi Si Xiao Tu -- The Pictures of the Twenty-Four Dutiful Sons. Most of their stories came from 《孝子传》: Xiaozi Chuan - Biographies of the Dutiful Sons, few of them came from the other books.
Since I am studying in Chinese National Academy of Arts, I have touched 3 different versions of the 《二十四孝图》: Er Shi Si Xiao Tu -- The Pictures of the Twenty-Four Dutiful Sons. One was by Mr. Ren Bonian （1840—1896）in Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1912); another one was by Mr. Chen Shaomei (1909 -1954); the third one does not know who created them.
Since Mr. Ren Bonian was the greatest portrait painters in Ming Dynasty （1368-1683） and Qing Dynasty （1644 to 1911），and he is one of my favourite artists, therefore, I would like to learn from him to paint all of the 24 paintings one by one.
Meanwhile, I would like to translate all of them into English and try to introduce them to you.
I started this work in Beijing and I have drafed the first 2 stories of them in the school, but, I did not bring them back.
So, this week, I tried to paint the last and the 24th story : 黄庭坚 （1045－1105）in Song Dynasty, to talk how Mr. Huang treated his mother.
