The fan page of the West Stream Plum Exploration Map, Qing Dynasty, Gaiqi painting, paper version, color setting, 19.2 cm vertically and 54.9 cm horizontally
The fan page has its own title: “After the east wind blew and snowed one night, the sky in front of the mountain was blurred. The boat was recorded to Xixizhu, and countless sand gulls accompanied the old man. It drew a picture of the heart of winter, and the title was in a loose pot sentence. It changed the Qi.” The seal was “Seven Xiang” Zhu Wenyin
The picture depicts the romantic scene of the plum blossom on both sides of the river. According to the title, this picture is painted by the author in imitation of Jinnong’s style of writing and metaphor of Qian and Du’s poetry. It has unique originality in the performance of the stream. It hides the boundary of the West Stream through the diffuse clouds, thus expanding the limited space of the water area, extending it beyond the painted fan with people’s imagination, and entering the aesthetic realm of “silence is better than sound at this time”. This picture also successfully uses the artistic technique of “skillful borrowing” in its creation, such as making people feel the existence of water through the help of light boats; With the help of the neat grass on the bank, people can feel the surge of water lines; With the help of the plum blossom with white dots, people can feel the rhythm and momentum of the spray
