The composition of this painting is very ingenious. The upper part is painted with a plum tree with horizontal branches and flowers blooming. The lower part is painted with the water flowing through the cliff. In history, there have been numerous works with the theme of plum painting. In terms of performance, they are usually accompanied by orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, which are also known as “gentlemen”, or by lake stones with the name of Qingwu, or by single painting of plum trees of the same kind. In short, the works that associate plum with water waves are extremely rare, which can be said to be unique. In order to connect the upper part and the lower part as a whole, the author skillfully draws the waves into the pattern of rolling up layer by layer. They not only bring dynamic feeling to the painting, but also become the middle transition section of the painting fan, playing an important role in connecting the upper part and the lower part. The integrity of the painting is maintained
