The picture depicts the scene where Gao Shi is looking for plum in the countryside and the mountains. The mountain stones in the close shot adopt powerful axe chopping and chapping, and wipe the stone surface with side strokes, which has the vigorous brushwork of Song painting. The characters are vivid and vivid, and the dynamic communication between the characters when they “explore the plum” is vividly displayed through simple and vivid hooking, which shows that the author has a careful observation of life and has a deep foundation in portrait creation
