This page is signed with the following words: “Bingwu Autumn Meng was written in Shiye Mountain House, Ding Yunpeng.” It is sealed with “Yunpeng Seal” in white and “Ding Nanyu” in white. “Bingwu” is the thirty-fourth year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1606), when the painter was 60 years old
The picture shows that the distant mountains are towering, the clouds and mists are swirling, the streams are gurgling, the high pines are winding, the scholars stop playing piano, and they are thinking on the shore. This figure has an ancient and clumsy shape and a dignified and elegant temperament, which reflects the trend of literati painting in the late Ming Dynasty to pay attention to the expression of individuality. The figure’s clothing pattern uses “high ancient hairline drawing”, which is thin and powerful, and “powerful and powerful”, with a sense of simplicity. The mountains, rocks and trees outline and add color, with beautiful and moist strokes and elegant colors, creating a quiet and remote artistic conception.
