This picture is a masterpiece of the fish theme painting in the middle reaches of the existing Song paintings. The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The silver carp wags its tail to roam, the catfish turns back, and the mandarin fish heads up, symbolizing the auspicious meaning of “being expensive for years”. The painter subtly suggests the momentum of flowing water and the clear and transparent feeling of spring water through the free bending posture of fish and the floating shape of algae under the impact of swimming fish. The three big fish are all painted with meticulous brushwork. The brushwork is steady and exquisite, and the scales are meticulously painted; However, the small fish, shrimp and algae in the scenery are waterlogged with boneless method, which perfectly displays the agility of fish and shrimp and the lightness of algae
There is a seven-character poem written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty on the opposite page: “Zhuang Hui once said that knowledge is unknown, but it is said that strange words are not strange.

The light color and bright ears of the diffuse Zi meaning are quite similar to those of the Haoliang debate.” Wushen Zhongqiu Yu wrote the title. “” Wushen “is the fifty-third year of Qianlong (1788). Seal “Treasure of the Ancient and Rare Son of Heaven” and “Zizi”.
