[Wang Chengpei’s Fish and Algae Diagram Fan Page]

The Fish and Algae Diagram Fan Page, Qing Dynasty, painted by Wang Chengpei, paper version, color setting, 17.4 cm vertically and 54.3 cm horizontally
The fan page has its own title: “The light wind does not move the duckweed, and the flowers are full of flowers. The fish leaps out of the water, and it breaks a pool of spring. Wang Chengpei.” The seal “Shi” is printed by Bai Wenyin, and “Zhai” is printed by Zhu Wenyin
This picture is a painting with peach blossom as the theme. The picture shows several peach blossoms floating down the pond, pointing out that it is the season of warm spring and blooming flowers. The pink petals and the yellow-green duckweed and water grass in the water depend on each other to create a sweet and peaceful water town. The entrance of peach blossoms into the pool led three fish to play happily, showing their carefree nature. The whole picture is painted by imitating Yun Shouping’s boneless method, with vivid strokes, bright colors and romantic lyric poetry. This picture is not inscribed with the previous paragraph of the painter, nor with the word “minister” presented to the royal family. It should be a happy sketch for the author to entertain himself
