In his title, the painter took the famous sentence of “picking chrysanthemum under Dongli” by Tao Yuanming, a poet of Tang and Song Dynasties, as an example to illustrate the relationship between the imitation of antiquity and the removal of antiquity in painting creation, that is, the inheritance and development. At the same time, he also explained the creative intention of this painting. This painting imitates the landscape of Wang Meng in the Yuan Dynasty, but in the texturing method, the use of long strips of hemp is different from that of Wang Meng’s ox hair, and the composition is not as full as that of Wang Meng’s painting. Compared with the overlapping peaks of Wang Meng, the landscape of Wu Li is closer to the real mountains and waters, with a strong sense of reality. Wu Li has integrated the painting techniques of his predecessors, with rigorous, simple and calm brushwork, high and light brushwork, and deep and simple charm, reflecting his own style characteristics. Although it is an antique work, it has its own face and new ideas
