- Description:
This painting was painted by Chen Tu (1563~1639), a Suzhou literary painter in the Ming Dynasty, at the request of Lu Zichui, a friend who loved collecting ancient inkstones. In the poem of Emperor Qianlong, “Tao Hong takes three baths and three fumigations, and looks at the ink clouds with his arms around the stream”, it should describe the interesting scene that the scholars with their hands around the foreground stop to watch the inkstone wash in the stream. The model year of this imperial poem is “Spring Day at Noon Festival”, which is different from that included in the Third Collection of Imperial Poems during the leap of May after the third Southern Tour to Luan, or it is caused by the mistakes in editing the poetry anthology.
