Under the dual effects of the political constraints of the middle of the Qing Dynasty and the culture of regional seclusion, Zhang Dan formed a mentality of escapism. In his landscape paintings, he mainly portrayed the theme of seeking seclusion and visiting in nature, far from the secular world. This picture shows the scene of a high priest raising his eyes to watch crows on a canoe. The whole picture is elegant and elegant, showing the beautiful scenery of mountains and waters in the south of the Yangtze River, and expressing the author’s feelings of seclusion. In terms of creative techniques, the author uses the method of contrast. In terms of space, through the large area of blank water in the middle view and the vague mountains in the distant view, the author presents the simplicity, which sets off the abundance of mountains, rocks and trees that are carefully portrayed, concrete and realistic in the close view. In terms of the relationship between jackdaws and characters, the noise of crows returning to their nests in the sunset reflects the silence of Gao Shi while watching. This silence is also like the movement of “silence is better than sound at this time”
