The inscription on the fan page reads: “Lin Bu is a fairy, with a beautiful chest of ice and jade. He recites horizontal, oblique and clear sentences, and whether there is a faint fragrance in the landscape. Xie Shichen’s poems and paintings are painted by Mr. Bihu.” The seal is “Sizhong” Zhu Wenyin and “Chuxian” Bai Wenyin
When Lin Bu lived in seclusion in Gushan, Hangzhou, in the Song Dynasty, he was pure and comfortable. He only enjoyed planting plum and raising cranes. People call him plum as his wife and crane as his son, and he has become a model of hermit admired by scholars. The picture shows Lin Buzheng standing with the plum tree, looking at the scene of the maid trimming the plum tree. The figures and trees are square and hard, mainly neat. The moss on the rocks is nimble and affected by Shen Zhou’s freehand brushwork style
