The Sleeping on the River and Mountain Painting Volume, Qing Dynasty, Cheng Zhengcaii’s painting, paper, ink, 26 cm in length and 205 cm in width



Self title: “Sleeping in the mountains and rivers, the second in the Gengxu era. The Taoist of Qingxi.” Two sides of the seal: “The old history of Qingxi” and “Cheng Zhengkui”. The collection is printed with “authentic works of Wang Zhuxi’s family”, “true appreciation”, etc., totaling 10 square meters



The “Gengxu” in the style refers to the ninth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1670), when the author was 66 years old



Cheng Zhengcain drew a picture of his travels in the Southern Dynasty (420-479) by imitating Zong Bing, a painter in the Liu and Song Dynasties, and collectively called the “Sleeping in the Mountains”, with the first, second, third, fourth… as subtitles, totaling 500 volumes. With the experience of their lives and the changes of their thoughts, as well as the continuous exploration in art, each picture has different emotional content and painting style, showing a variety of aesthetic interests and artistic styles



This volume was written after he resigned in his later years. The picture shows the continuous mountains and valleys. At the platform, the empty pavilion is independent, and the high scholar comes to seek seclusion. The bleak landscape and the lonely whereabouts of the high scholar are the portraits of the painter’s inner feelings in his later years. In the picture, the rocks and trees are painted with sound brush and ink. The strokes are simple, simple and easy. They are not lost in simplicity. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, his paintings full of passion are refreshing
