This self-titled five-character ancient poem: “What is all in the mountains, but there are many white clouds. Look at the top of the mountain, drill into the sky and knot the green snails. People are leaning against the half wall, and the small Xuan is the rock. If you have nothing to do with the moss, you have to repair the iris on the bank. You can pick the tea buds at will, and cook the tripod to wait for the monk to pass by. Shizai knows who is, and how Waxuan is today. The new poem is stable in tone, and the yellow bird can also sing. Half an acre of Gong Xian draws and inscribes.” Seal “Gong Xian” and “Wild Heritage”
The official script inscription on the head of the package: “The true work of the Pine Shade Map of Gong Banqian Cloud Gully, which is collected by the small book Jintang.” The seal is “Youjian Collection”
This picture takes the hillside stream and lush forest as the close view, and the lofty mountains as the distant view. There are clouds in the middle, which are both separated and naturally connected. The houses are under the mountains and are shaded by the pine clouds. The smoke surges and clouds move, the roads turn around, and the light and shadow shine, just like an illusion. The painter skillfully uses the autumn forest grass house, the flowing spring and the waterfall and the changeable and floating haze to enrich the picture, and then displays the level change of the spatial structure in the response of the virtual and the real, and presents the rhythmic formal beauty in the staggered height. The mountain stone in the picture is drawn by the method of ink accumulation, and its complex accumulation and depiction show the backward, virtual and solid block volume of the mountain stone. Viewers can appreciate the sunlight reflection of mountains and rocks and the looming of distant mountains from its light ink and chapped brush; However, the mountains and rocks with thick ink make people feel the quiet and smooth of moss after the rain.
