The caption of this picture reads: “The dream of ten years is the Xuanyuan, and you can only recognize it after you have experienced the layers of rocks. The clouds in the sky are for you to breathe, and the Jiangnan Mountains are for your children and grandchildren. The peak is a thousand feet away from the earth, and the path into the sky is unique to apes. Who has the spirit of the Pill Platform to breathe, and the cinnabar spring is still warm. Tiandu Peak. It imitates the style of Jingguan. Qu Shanmei is clear and the title is clear.” The seal is “Qu Xingqing” and “Yuan Gong”
Tiandu Peak is one of the three main peaks of Mount Huangshan Mountain. In ancient times, it was called “the capital of immortals”, which means the capital of heaven, hence its name. This peak stands out on the earth’s surface, is precipitous and majestic, with great momentum and grandeur
The Tiandu Peak in the picture is steep and dangerous. It rushes out of the clouds. The clouds are shrouded in the hillside. The ancient temple on the low rock is set off by trees. The two scholars stand still to watch the precipitousness of the mountain and the changes of the clouds. In terms of artistic expression techniques, the painter highlights the breathtaking and majestic momentum of Tiandu Peak without seeking for shape resemblance. Through the combination of the towering layout and the floating clouds that permeate the mountains, the artist sets off the atmosphere of the picture from the side, avoids the straightforward artistic expression, increases the sense of space of the audience, and displays the painting style that is both vigorous and unrestrained and beautiful and ethereal, giving people a strong artistic infection. In addition, the appropriate color of ink not only shows the artist’s extraordinary painting skills, but also makes the picture complete and unified, without the sense of chaos
