I looked about, and, under the impression from yesterday's presentation of the course Andrei Shcherbakov, decided to add a little more about Chinese painting U-Sin.
U-Shin "is translated from the Chinese - 5 items. It is easy to guess that this painting - artistic expression of the famous system of the U-Shin (the teachings of the 5 elements of Genesis).
"Elements" - a tree, fire, metal, water, earth. Of these, "woven" all creation. Each of them - his character, his handwriting, his mode of action.
In painting, the U-Shin each of the five elements corresponds to one execution style smear (as a brush and paint interact with the paper).

The 'Tree "- a growth, strength, will and perseverance.
Element "Fire" -
spontaneity, transformation, passion, commitment, enthusiasm.

The element of "Metal" - a soft, calm, clear, constructive, vision of things in general.

Element "Water" - diving, association, experience, wisdom, integration.

Element "Earth" - a confidence, stability, stability, security, solid ground under their feet.

The presence of these "elements" can be felt in any subject, any phenomenon. For example, smooth and slender shape of an ordinary blade of grass - akin to the element of "Metal". A blossoming flower bursting with an abundance of it relates to the element "Fire".

Here's what he says Andrei:
In Japan, the art of calligraphy called 'Shodo ", which means" way of writing ". For me, painting a U-Sin has become a "way of brushes and paints," the way of painting "," the way of drawing.
It seems not so many years have passed since I received from my teacher's valuable gift of painting a U-Sin. However, during these three years my painting has changed dramatically. I immediately realized that this is more than drawing, but I could not even imagine how deep and weighty, this practice. I'm not afraid of the word and name art U-Shin unique technique of spiritual and mental and physical development.
Painting Do-Sin rests on two pillars: strong, confident movements, and drawing a deep metaphysics "embedded" in the process of drawing. And this is fundamentally distinguishes this type of painting from the other visual arts. There is great importance to the way the artist draws, and not what he portrays. In the first place is a process, pushing the result obtained by the wayside. In essence, this painting is more similar to Wushu than drawing in the European sense of the word. Especially a lot of similarities with Sinitsyuan, (one of the internal styles of Wushu). As Sinitsyuan, this painting is based on the five movements of the primary elements U-Sin. However, U-Shin brings not only painting and wushu. Among the practices born in ancient China, you could hardly find the one where the philosophy of the U-Sin would not have left its mark.
System U-Sin originates in the teachings of the ancient Taoist teachers. Daoist natural philosophy provides an understanding of the world as a replacement of energy - "Verses", which are only five: "Tree", "Fire", "Land", "Metal" and "Water". Each of these elements is a certain quality of life:
Wood - perseverance, integrity
Fire - variability
Land - Structuring
Metal - refinement,
Water - a fallacy, sophistication
Each of the movements of painting a U-Shin bears as one of the primary elements. Harmonious people - one in which the influence of 5 elements balance each other. This is what tends practitioner, working with a brush and paper. Portraying the natural world, the artist knows his quality, through the brush and thereby learns from nature to be harmonious. Thus, painting Y sin becomes a new way of knowledge, perception of environmental reality into something similar with magical methods that were practiced in ancient shamanism. Just as the shaman with the dance transforms into a bear, an artist with paints, brushes and motions U-Shin "masters" the energy of the depicted object.
Artistic problem with this is to ensure that authentically convey the energy of the object, not its shape and appearance. However, if all movements are made correctly, then either recognizes the figure depicted object.
However, painting a U-Sin includes not only 5 movements U-Shin, but other important elements:
- Comparison of emptiness (Yin) and fullness (Jan) in Figure
- Timing of motion brushes and breath
- Straight back, which helps the movement of the vertical flow of energy
- Awareness and maximum concentration in each action
- Stay in a state of inaction (U-chi) while drawing
All this helps the practitioner an artist imbued with the spirit of what he represents. Of course, these details may seem familiar to those who practice various Taoist exercises. Since Qigong and ending taoist sexual kung fu. That's why Art U-Sin may for many become a way of familiarizing with the universal harmony of Tao.
To feel the effect of the occupation of painting a U-Sin not necessarily be Sinologist or even know something about ancient China. So Art U-Sin became an excellent tool for solving very many and very different people. Today, with the help of painting a U-Sin and I conduct business training for office workers, and art-therapy sessions to address personal problems, and help many people learn how to paint professionally, despite the fact that most of them had never touched a brush ever .

Bodhidharma 16th century AD. British Museum
Bodhidharma (Chinese Putidamo, 菩提 达摩) is a key and perhaps the most mysterious figure, not only in the history of Shaolin Temple, but also in the history of the origin of Buddhism in China, Chan (Chinese 禅宗) and Chinese martial arts - wushu (Chinese 武术).
 -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
Ivan Bodhidharma is moving from the south
On the wings of spring.
He drank from the river, which was ice.
He holds the geography
All of our rooms, apartments and passions,
And the white tiger is silent,
And the blue dragon sings.
He will heal those who hear,
And maybe those who are smart;
And he tells those who want to know everything,
Stories daylight.
He moves past the buildings,
In which seek to avoid the fate;
It is easier than the smoke. Through the plastic and tin
Ivan Bodhidharma inclined to see the trees
Where we tend to see the poles
And if it became lighter
It seems he is already here.

"Bodhidharma, the son of one of the rulers of South India, early leaves home and joins a Buddhist community.

Concerned that Buddhist teaching is misunderstood in China in 520 BC sent Bodhidharma to China.
But, once realizing that he himself is not completely understood the doctrine, "he retired to a cave near the monastery and spent nine years in deep meditation. Birds are not afraid of him, placing him on the shoulders of their nests, and spiders wove a web on his hands and palms. Over time, his shadow has left traces on the wall, before which he sat. "
Gradually, thanks to the extraordinary abilities, he becomes the spiritual leader of Buddhism, and 28 Buddhist patriarch.
