Yu Province is a painter who pays attention to painting from life. He believes that the most vivid and moving paintings are those that touch the scene and create feelings. Only by taking heaven and earth as a teacher can he create a masterpiece. For this reason, he has carved the free chapters such as “The Secret of Heaven” and “The pen touches the spring rain” to express his mind of “Touching the life interest in the place of pride”. This picture is not a painting ordered by the royal family, but a painting given by the author to a friend.

The artistic language of the whole picture is simple, from composition to ink without embellishment. The picture is tinged with rich colors, forming a bright, clean and beautiful style against each other, overflowing with the fresh charm of nature
