KEY WORD :　art history / paintings

Also sometimes read ZUE SOUI. Ch:Tuhui Zongyi. Principles of Painting. Chinese painting manual complied by Yang Erzeng (Jp:You Jisou 楊爾會) and influential in Japan. Dated to 1607 in its preface, it is illustrated by Cai Rucuo (Jp: Sai Josa 蔡汝佐) and carved by Huang Yulin (Jp:Kou Gyokurin 黄玉林). The seven sections consist of figures in landscape, plum blossoms, flowers-and-birds, bamboo, orchids, animals and fish and insects, and landscape. The first six sections include line drawings of various compositions related to the subjects. The unillustrated landscape section contains famous excerpts from theoretical texts on landscape but does not name the texts or authors. Sources include Zhang Yanyuan's (Jp:Chou Gen'en 張彦遠, fl.mid-9c) Lidai Minghuaji (Jp: REKIDAI MEIGAKI 歴代名画記), Guo Roxu's (Jp:Kaku Jakukyo 郭若虚, fl.ca 1075) Tuhua Jianwenzhi (TOGA KENMONSHI 図画見聞誌), Guo Xi's (Jp:Kaku Ki 郭煕, ca.1010-ca.1090) LIinquan Gaozhiji (Jp:RINSEN KOUCHISHUU 林泉高致集) and Huang Gongwang's (Jp:Kou Koubou 黄公望, 1269-1354) Xie Shanshui Jue (Jp:SHA SANSUI KETSU 写山水訣). As a simplified how-to painting manual, it was popular with early *nanga 南画 artists, although never as important as *HASSHU GAFU 八種画譜. It was printed again in the 1720's.
