This self-knowledge: “Summer mountain residence. In February of Wushen, Wang Shuming, a native of Huanghe Mountain, painted the Jiashuxuan of Tao’s family in Qingcun by the same Xuangaoshi.” Wushen was in the 28th year of the Zhizheng era of the Yuan Dynasty (1368). In addition, the title and seal of the poem of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and the seal of the Qing Anqi and the Qianlong Inner House are 17 in total
This picture is of Changsong Gaoling, a mountain fortress. In the half-open house, a woman with a baby in her arms seemed to be pacing back and forth, coaxing her son to sleep, which was very interesting. Although Wang Meng’s works mostly describe the hermit life of high scholars, they often contain worldly life interests, which can be said to be an expression of the artist’s complex of entering the world to some extent
In the painting, the mountain body is covered with fine and short cattle hair, with few strokes and light ink at the convex and edge, and many strokes and thick ink at the concave and deep dark areas, to show the level and volume of the mountain. The pine tree is hooked in light ink, occasionally with heavy ink, the tree body is chapped with dry pen, the pine needle is first written in light ink, and then with heavy scorched ink, making it more clear and straight. The trees in the mountains are dotted with scorched ink, and are integrated with the mountain chapping and dyeing, which complement each other, adding to the texture of the rich and colorful mountains in summer
