This picture is made by Wang Shimin for the 70th birthday of his friend Chen Jingfu’s mother. On the picture, there are many peaks, lush trees, winding springs and standing pines. The valley is dotted with thatched cottages, and the environment is quiet. It has typical characteristics of Chinese painting in composition and ink. First of all, in terms of composition, the panoramic composition is adopted, and the scene is described by the method of scattered perspective. The close-range double pines are clear and straight, and the distant mountains are continuous and towering. The content of the painting is of beautiful symbolic significance, which is very consistent with the theme of birthday celebration. Secondly, in terms of pen and ink performance, it inherits the pen and ink tradition of Dong Ju (Dong Yuan, Juran) and Yuan people, especially the painting method of Huang Gongwang, which is good at imitating the ancients and has the characteristics of stylization. The strokes are exquisite and sophisticated. It is a masterpiece of Wang’s late years
