At the end of the picture, Zhu Derun said: “On April 10, the twenty-four-year-old birthday (1364), the Suiyangshan people were seventy-one years old. Zhu Derun stood side by side.” After that, he sealed the two sides privately. It is Zhu’s very late work before his death. It is a picture of the plain scenery of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. Among the mountains and forests, there are scholars sitting opposite in the study. The strokes are rough and easy, and the ink color is simple, with the meaning of boundless. The painter boldly transformed Li Cheng and Guo Xi’s paintings of northern mountains and rivers in the Northern Song Dynasty into the modeling language to express the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and blended into the aesthetic taste of literati’s elegance and simplicity. The study in the painting is “Xiuye Pavilion”. Painting the scholar’s study and activities in the beautiful mountains and waters is a new theme of landscape painting in this period, which directly affects the aesthetic orientation of the Wu School landscape painting in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties
