• Description:
  The composition of this nuclear carving is similar to Ma Lin’s “Listen to the Pine Wind” in the Southern Song Dynasty. The ancient pine stands between the rock walls. A high-ranking scholar reclines and sits in the shade of the pine trees, listening to the swaying and reverberating pine sound in the wind. A waiter stands on his side. On the back, a deer stands among the pine stones. The carving is exquisite, the expression of the characters is vivid and natural, and the lines of the clothes are strong and fluent. With the knife technique like an axe, combined with the hardness of the fruit stone itself, the momentum of the mountain boulder is displayed. The knife is played neatly, without losing details, and the artistic conception is remote.
