This picture was made when Kun Can was 53 years old. It shows the scenery around the Youqi Temple in Niushou Zutang Mountain, the suburb of Nanjing, where he lived in his late years. This self-titled poem reads: “Stay at the top of your life without looking for the path. Go through the clouds and the zither along the stream. Go through the clouds and get slim. The source is deep and flat, and the hills are mixed with the clouds. The spring sounds clear and disorderly, and the white stone is clean and sweeping. When you are up, you forget your fatigue, and the mountains and streams are more winding. Look forward to the peak like a sharp, and the rocks are uneven and delicate. Although I am suddenly in the air, I play loose steps and misty. I rest on dangerous things like a relic, and the secluded monks in the house account for a small number. I want to bait the sand, and nest in the middle and old.” This picture is not big, but it has magnificent momentum, The composition is rigorous, and the virtual and the real complement each other. Dense mountains and rocks, trees, and sparse clouds, water, and sky form a change of density and brightness. The painting is smooth and smooth, rough and skillful, suitable for thick and light ink, dry and wet ink. The whole picture is completed in one go, and the artistic conception is deep and lofty. This is Kun Can’s masterpiece.
