If this page is not signed, it shall be sealed with “Wen Zheng Ming Seal” and “Wu Yan Shi Seal”. The preface to Cai Yu’s book in the front shows that the picture was painted in the 13th year of Zhengde (1518) at the age of 49. Later, Cai Yu, Tang Zhen and Wang Chong wrote poems, and Gu Wenbin wrote inscriptions
According to Cai Yu’s preface, Wen Zhengming and his friends Cai Yu, Wang Shou, Wang Chong, Tang Zhen, etc. visited Huishan, Wuxi on February 19, 2013, drinking tea, chanting poems and singing. They were very familiar with each other, and later created this chronicle work. The screen adopts the intercepted composition to highlight the “tea party” scene. In a pine forest, there is a Maoting spring well, where people visit, or sit around the well, display and chant, or walk in the forest, enjoy the scenery and talk, or watch children cook tea. Although the facial features of the characters are few portrait features, most of them are the same, but the dynamic and emotional depictions are quite different, and have a lot of business, and convey the common leisure and elegant temperament, reflecting the artistic purpose of the literati painters to be more vivid than to write. At the same time, the elegant environment of green mountains and trees, green pines and cypresses, set off against the tea party activities of scholars and scholars, also created a poetic realm of mixed feelings and scenes
This picture uses meticulous coloring method. The hooks, rubs, and chaps of tree trunks, rocks, and pottoes are mostly used as the center, and the side front is used as the reference. It has the style of running script, and is characterized by “drawing from calligraphy”. The pen is thin and has a clumsy taste. For example, the figure’s clothing pattern is painted with high ancient hairline. It is steady and unrestrained, and has a rough brush. It is also clumsy in work. The shape of tree stone is also appropriately deformed in fine, neat and decorative. The colors are cyan and light crimson, the mountains are covered with stone green, the lines and recesses are covered with light ochre faint halo, the trunk is stained with ochre and cane yellow, the lines of the characters are colored with color, and the overall color is blended in the contrast, presenting a new style of elegance, elegance and elegance. This small green painting style inherits the landscape painting style of Qian Xuan and Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty, and has developed and created a new style of green landscape painting of literati in the Ming Dynasty.
