Self title: “Samadhi never knows itself. The clouds are cold, the sand is white, and the trees are uneven. There is an inhumane sentence in it. I can recall the five-character poem of Xiangyang. The poem written by Dongzi Temple on the Guichou Winter Guest House is very profound.” The seal is “Cheng Shen”
“Guichou” refers to the 12th year of Kangxi’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1673), when Cheng Shen was 68 years old, which was the maturity of his painting art
The whole picture shows the hills and forests in dry and scorched ink, with the typical ink characteristics of Cheng. His lines, which are eager for dry ink, are vigorous and powerful, and have the taste of gold and stone, which are written into paintings. It shows the beauty of the bones and bones of the barren and old trees and rocks in a different way, thus successfully sketching the author’s ideal of getting rid of the shackles of the clamor and enjoying the elegant world.
