The title of this picture is “Penglai Fairy Island, painted by Yuan Jiang on the moon by the fifth son”, sealed by “Yuan Jiang’s seal” and “Wen Tao”
“Penglai Fairy Island” is the “sea holy mountain” in ancient Chinese myths and legends. The palace buildings on the island are all made of gold and silver. There are countless flowers and plants, rare birds and monsters, and there is also “immortal medicine” hidden in it. This picture is the fairyland of the mountains that Yuan Jiang conceived and created based on these ancient myths and legends and his own artistic imagination
When describing this sea fairy mountain, the author emphasized the atmosphere of fairyland surrounded by clouds and smoke. The exquisite and detailed pavilions, magnificent rocks and the misty sea set off the painter’s ideal life state, which is carefree and fascinating.
