For thousands of years, numerous painters depicted the scene of Laozi riding an ox westward out of Hangu Pass, interpreting the profound Daoist philosophy through this cultural symbol. Laozi Leaving the Pass created by the contemporary master painter Fan Zeng has become a representative artwork of this theme, featuring distinctive line drawing and vivid character portrayal. The rice-paper print version of Laozi Leaving the Pass we are appreciating today is reproduced and recreated based on the original painting, accompanied by an official creation certificate. It enables audiences to experience the master’s brushwork and taste timeless oriental aesthetics and philosophical wisdom. 题材溯源：老子出关的历史传说与文化内涵 Chapter 1 Origin of the Theme: Legend and Cultural Connotation of Laozi Leaving the Pass据《史记・老子韩非列传》记载，老子姓李名耳，是春秋时期伟大思想家、道家学派创始人。老子目睹周王室日渐衰败，礼乐崩坏，决意离开中原故土，向西远行。行至函谷关时，守关令尹喜认出老子乃是旷世圣贤，恳请老子留下思想著作。老子在此写下五千言《道德经》(《老子》)，之后骑青牛继续西行，自此杳无踪迹，“老子出关” 的传说就此流传千年。According to Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Laozi and Han Fei, Laozi, surnamed Li given name Er, was a great thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period and the founder of Daoism. Witnessing the decline of the Zhou royal court and the collapse of rituals, he resolved to leave the Central Plains and travel west. When he arrived at Hangu Pass, Yin Xi, the pass keeper, recognized Laozi as a sage and begged him to leave his writings. Laozi composed the 5,000-word Tao Te Ching here, then rode an ox travelling west and vanished. The legend of “Laozi Leaving the Pass” has been passed down for more than two thousand years. 这则传说早已超越单纯的历史叙事，沉淀为厚重的文化符号。青牛象征朴素自然、与世无争;老者代表大道智慧;西行寓意探寻本源、道法自然。后世文人钟爱这一题材，本质上是向往道家 “清静无为、顺应自然” 的生命境界。古往今来，吴道子、石恪、张路等诸多古代名家都曾绘制老子形象，发展至近现代，范曾重塑的老子形象，彻底形成辨识度极高的个人风格。This legend has transcended historical narration and evolved into a profound cultural symbol. The black ox symbolizes simplicity and peace; the elder embodies the wisdom of Dao; the westward journey represents pursuit of the origin of all things and the principle of “the Dao follows nature”. Ancient literati loved this theme, for they yearned for the Daoist spiritual realm of tranquility and non-interference. Many ancient masters including Wu Daozi, Shi Ke and Zhang Lu painted Laozi. In modern times, Fan Zeng reimagined the image of Laozi and formed his highly recognizable artistic style. 作者范曾：集诗书画三绝的当代艺术大家 Chapter 2 About the Artist Fan Zeng: Master of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting范曾，1938 年生于江苏南通，字十翼，别署抱冲斋主，是中国当代享誉海内外的书画大家、学者、诗人。身兼中国艺术研究院终身研究员、南开大学终身教授、联合国教科文组织多元文化特别顾问等众多学术职务。范曾深耕中国画数十年，融山水、花鸟、人物画于一体，主张 “以诗为魂，以书为骨”，将书法线条融入绘画，开辟独具特色的人物水墨体系。Fan Zeng, born in Nantong, Jiangsu Province in 1938, courtesy name Shiyi, art name Master of Baoch Studio, is an internationally celebrated contemporary Chinese painter, scholar and poet. He serves as Lifetime Research Fellow of Chinese Academy of Arts, Lifetime Professor of Nankai University, Special Advisor for Multiculturalism at UNESCO and other academic positions. Having devoted decades to traditional Chinese painting, he integrates landscape, flower-and-bird and figure painting. He advocates “poetry as soul, calligraphy as skeleton”, integrating calligraphic lines into painting and establishing a unique ink figure painting system. 范曾最擅长历史人物题材绘画，屈原、李白、苏东坡、老子、庄子等先贤，都是他反复描摹的对象。他笔下的历史人物不只是复刻古人样貌，更重在刻画人物精神气韵。他的线条刚劲灵动，落笔顿挫分明，业内称之为 “范氏白描”。《老子出关》属于范曾反复创作的经典 IP，也是大众认知度最高的代表作之一。Fan Zeng excels at paintings of historical figures. Ancient sages including Qu Yuan, Li Bai, Su Dongpo, Laozi and Zhuangzi are frequent subjects of his creation. His figures are not merely copies of ancient appearances; he focuses on capturing inner spirit. His powerful and flexible lines with distinct rhythm are known as “Fan-style line drawing”. Laozi Leaving the Pass is a classic motif repeatedly painted by Fan Zeng, and one of his most well-known masterpieces. 画面深度赏析：笔墨构图与人物气韵解读 Chapter 3 Appreciation of the Painting: Composition, Brushwork and Spiritual Charm这幅《老子出关》画面布局疏密得当，简约留白，延续范曾标志性写意白描技法。画面右侧，白发长须的老子安坐青牛脊背，双目微阖，神情淡然从容。长长的白须随风舒展，衣袍线条流畅洒脱，寥寥数笔，便塑造出智者看淡世事、超然物外的神态。青牛步态舒缓，牛头微微前探，造型质朴憨厚，契合道家质朴守拙的思想内核。The composition of Laozi Leaving the Pass balances dense strokes and blank space, adopting Fan Zeng’s representative freehand line drawing. On the right side of the painting, white-haired and long-bearded Laozi sits calmly on the ox. With slightly closed eyes, he carries a peaceful and detached expression. Flowing lines depict his long beard and robe, presenting a sage who transcends mortal troubles. The ox walks slowly with its head leaning forward. Its simple and honest shape echoes the core Daoist thought of simplicity and modesty. 画面左侧，一名稚童牵引青牛缓步前行。孩童眉眼带笑，神态天真烂漫，与老子沉静肃穆形成巧妙动静对比。孩童象征生机、俗世凡尘，老者代表大道哲思，一老一少，一动一静，暗含大道生生不息的哲理。远景以极简淡墨勾勒远山岩石，不做繁复渲染，大面积留白营造旷野苍茫的意境，仿佛函谷关外无边古道，苍茫天地，意境悠远。On the left, a young boy leads the ox forward. The child smiles innocently, forming a vivid contrast with the serene Laozi. The child symbolizes vitality and mortal life, while the elder represents profound philosophy. The contrast between youth and elder, motion and stillness implies that the Dao generates all things endlessly. Distant mountains and rocks are outlined with light ink without complicated shading. Massive blank space constructs the vast wilderness outside Hangu Pass, delivering a distant and profound artistic conception. 画面左上角题写篆书大字 “老子出关”，辅以行书落款：岁壬寅秋，江东范曾于北京。书法笔墨雄健，书画融为一体，完美诠释中国画 “诗书画合一” 的传统。画面四角钤多方红色印章，印章布局考究，平衡画面构图，是传统国画不可或缺的组成部分。On the upper left, large seal script characters “Laozi Leaving the Pass” stand out, paired with running script inscription: Autumn of Renyin Year, Fan Zeng of Jiangdong in Beijing. Vigorous calligraphy blends seamlessly with painting, embodying the Chinese tradition of integrating poetry, calligraphy and painting. Several red seals are arranged properly across the painting to balance the composition, an indispensable element of traditional Chinese painting. 版画艺术价值：名家版画的收藏与陈设意义 配套官方创作证书清晰标注工艺属性。版画与国画、油画、雕塑并称四大 从家居陈设角度，《老子出关》寓意极佳。老子作为道家圣人，象征智慧、安康、心境平和。悬挂于书房、茶室、办公室，能够营造文雅静谧的氛围。传统文化中，青牛纳福，圣贤坐镇，有着启智静心、修身养性的美好寓意。无论是自藏赏玩，还是作为文化礼品馈赠友人，都是极具格调的选择。For interior decoration, Laozi Leaving the Pass carries auspicious meanings. As the sage of Daoism, Laozi symbolizes wisdom, peace and calmness. Hanging it in studies, tea rooms or offices creates an elegant and quiet atmosphere. In traditional culture, the ox brings blessings, and the sage inspires wisdom and self-cultivation. It is an elegant choice for personal collection or cultural gifts. 在艺术市场层面，名家限量版画拥有稳定的受众群体。手绘作品保真证书齐全，印刷工艺成熟，画面持久不易褪色。范曾人物画受众广泛，老子出关又是其顶流题材，流通性强。对于喜爱传统水墨、道家文化的爱好者而言，这件画是入门级优质艺术藏品。In the art market, limited prints by famous artists enjoy stable demand. Compared with hand-painted works, prints are affordable, equipped with authentic certificates, produced with mature printing technology, and resistant to fading. Fan Zeng’s figure paintings have broad audiences, and Laozi Leaving the Pass is his most popular motif with good liquidity. For lovers of traditional ink painting and Daoist culture, this print is an excellent entry-level art collection. 文化延伸：《老子出关》带给当代人的精神启示 Chapter 5 Cultural Extension: Spiritual Enlightenment for Modern People快节奏的现代生活中，人们时常被焦虑、浮躁裹挟。老子西出函谷关，是放下纷争、奔赴自然的旅程。《道德经》倡导 “上善若水”“知足不辱”“道法自然”。这幅画作不断提醒观者：学会放下执念，顺应本心，保持内心平和。不必过度追逐名利，坚守内心秩序，方能寻得精神安宁。In fast-paced modern life, many people are trapped by anxiety and impetuosity. Laozi’s journey out of Hangu Pass represents abandoning disputes and returning to nature. The Tao Te Ching advocates “the highest good is like water”, “contentment brings freedom from humiliation” and “the Dao follows nature”. This painting reminds viewers to release obsession, follow inner hearts and maintain peace. Instead of chasing fame endlessly, maintaining inner discipline brings spiritual tranquility. 范曾以笔墨定格这场跨越千年的远行，不止是还原一段历史传说，更是搭建一座桥梁，让当代人能够与古老的道家思想对话。水墨线条之中，藏着中国人独有的处世哲学;青牛古道之上，承载华夏文明绵延不绝的人文精神。By freezing this thousand-year journey with brush and ink, Fan Zeng not only restores an ancient legend, but also builds a bridge for modern people to communicate with ancient Daoist thoughts. Within ink lines lies unique Chinese philosophy of life; on the ancient road travelled by the ox carries the enduring humanistic spirit of Chinese civilization. 结语 Conclusion 范曾《老子出关》版画，是艺术与哲学相融的载体。简练传神的水墨绘画，再现圣贤西行的经典一幕;源远流长的道家故事，赋予画面深厚精神内核。作为兼具观赏性、文化寓意与收藏价值的艺术作品，它将大师笔墨与东方哲思传递给更多观者。驻足画前，观老者骑牛徐行，便可体悟大道至简，静守本心的东方智慧。The print of Fan Zeng’s Laozi Leaving the Pass integrates art and philosophy. Concise and vivid ink painting reproduces the classic scene of the sage travelling west. The age-old Daoist story endows the painting with profound spiritual connotation. As an artwork with ornamental value, cultural implication and collection value, it delivers the master’s brushwork and oriental philosophy to audiences. Standing before the painting and watching the sage riding the ox slowly forward, viewers can comprehend the oriental wisdom: the greatest truth is simple; guard your inner peace. |
