Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study :(1) This paper studies the subject matter of Su Liupeng's figure painting from the perspective of metaphor, and makes a comparative study with the contemporary figure painting works. The sample was the figure painting works of figure painters in Qing Dynasty, mainly Su Liupeng. They was selected by documents, exhibitions. The research results are as follows:

1. Su Liupeng's genre paintings are suggestive and have the nature of cartoons, which is the first of modern and contemporary comic works in Guangdong, and has a realistic color, which is very popular in the later Guangdong painting circle and even in the Chinese painting circle. It is not known whether later generations were influenced by Su Liupeng, but at least he was the first person to paint such subjects in the Guangdong painting


2. In Su Liupeng's figure paintings, there is also an obvious inheritance of Central Plains painting. It can also be inferred that before the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the painting tradition of Guangdong and the Central Plains were in the same line, and the traditional works of the central Plains were still prevalent in the figure paintings of Guangdong in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which also reflected the reclusive thought of Guangdong literati and the conversion of the traditional literati plot.
