The fan page has its own title: “Zhao on the moon in the West Stream. When I came to Tang Ziwei, it was my brother Xiaomei who observed the Qing Dynasty. Ding You was in the middle of the autumn, and Qian Duji.” The seal was “Shumei” and Zhu Wenyin
“Dingyou” is the seventeenth year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1837), when Chandu was 74 years old
This picture is a painting fan given by the author to his colleagues in his later years. The picture depicts the scene of a high-ranking scholar in red sitting alone at the head of a boat and going down the river, which shows the ideal secluded life of a scholar. The figure and the boat pen in the picture are delicate and neat, revealing the beauty of elegance in the ancient clumsiness, with the style of Wen Zhengming’s “fine pen”. The lush branches and leaves of the trees on both banks are free and unrestrained on the brush, interwoven with lines and black and white ink dots, with the beauty of messy and crude. The free and easy pen and ink form an organic complement and complement each other with the delicate characters and boats
