The fan page of the picture of dead wood and jackdaw, Ming Dynasty, Tang Yin’s painting, gold paper, ink pen, 17 cm vertically and 49 cm horizontally
The fan page has its own title: “The wind rolls the poplar flowers and drives the horse’s hoof, sending you here to listen to the chicken in the morning. Who knows that at the place of lovesickness in the night after the night, a tree of jackdaws has not settled down. Tang Yin presents the word Hua Fa.” The seal is “Tang Bohu’s poem and painting seal” Zhu Wenyin
This picture is a farewell painting given by Tang Yin to a friend. The painting is not meant to be a blessing, but full of distress. Behind the abrupt rocks in the picture is a dead tree with scattered branches and leaves. It and the hard rocks create a bleak and desolate mood. The jackdaws either perch on the branches or flutter their wings. Their noise does not bring any vitality to the painting, but adds to the bleak feeling. Although this painting does not fall into the year of creation, it can be inferred from the style of the author’s poem, the concise and accurate use of the pen, the incisive use of ink and the vivid and vivid image modeling that this painting should be painted by Tang Yin in his later years. The painting shows his feelings of lack of talent, loneliness and loneliness, as well as his worries about the difficulties of friends and themselves in seeking development and comfortable survival in the current bad social environment
