註:「群松立,一松獨卧,被頌為龍。」

—吳冠中


北京西山古剎戒台寺,始建唐武德年間,初名慧聚寺,重建後改今名。有奇松五株,曰卧龍松、自在松、九龍松、抱塔松、活動松,寺以「戒台松濤」勝景傳誦千古。卧龍松植千佛閣前北側,樹齡千年,樹圍近三米,幹長逾十米,盤枝虯曲,越石欄而凌空橫生,呈蛟龍臥伏之姿,松下立碑,上「卧龍松」三字乃恭親王奕訢所書。古詩有詠︰千載古松號卧龍,居然雨露受堯封。歷經多少滄桑感,治亂興衰不動容。


吳冠中鍾愛古樹,愛其歷史底蘊深厚,更愛其蒼勁形象啟發創作靈感,遂踏遍天涯,海南島之大榕樹、蘇州司徒廟漢柏、泰山五大夫松等,一一攝入畫中。卧龍松乃北京戒台寺唯一卧松,起伏多變之姿當為畫家描繪對象。本幅出六呎整紙,背景僅數抹煙雲,前景空間全付虯松伸展,畫家粗筆焦墨疾揮,雄渾遒勁,主幹粗壯如輪,自左方橫向斜出,枝椏或弧生後倏忽屈曲,或逆向迴探,猶如潛龍出淵,蚴蟉綣軀,細枝瘦硬詰屈,如探爪出風,正伺機一躍青天之狀,神龍氣魄躍現,磅礡攝人。一九八八年,畫家曾作四呎整紙〈卧松〉,上題「偕友重遊戒台寺,再看卧松已隔世」,獨以粗獷綫條捕捉其抽象形態,越五年,特重臨舊地再作速寫,並按之演發為巨幅,卧松形態更趨具象,松鱗彩點斑駁,松針剛如鐵杵,綠、黃、藍、紫色點肆迸,煥發壯實蒼翠之生機。兩幅彩墨畫唯一相同者,乃皆具長題,畫家恐文字有礙構圖,

甚少書句其上,今再寫卧龍松,仍難掩情緒激蕩,藉題字以抒餘緒,蓋卧龍松已閱世千年,未知能否再抵風霜雷擊,惟願此遼代遺民能長存畫中!
