The title of the paragraph: “Mr. Lu Zhong ordered to write the poetic style of Fangweng, and the writing style of Ma He should be correct. It was the work of the guest window in the winter of the 48th year of Kangxi’s reign. The tripod of Guangling Yu was recorded with respect.” The seal was “the tripod seal of Shenzhaiyu” (in white), “the fisherman on the Guangling Tao” (in Zhu). In 1709, Yu Zhiding was 63 years old
This picture is based on the poetry of Lu You, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, in “Looking for Plum in the Western Suburb”. The person in the picture is the “Mr. Fu Zhong” in the title of the paragraph – the man with white flags inlaid in Manchuria. His father, Ehai, was the governor of Huguang, Sichuan and Shaanxi. On the picture, the plum blossom is in full bloom, and the scenery is clear and spacious. Da Li, wearing a cap scarf and a red robe, stands on the board bridge, with the attendants leading horses, showing the hero’s appreciation and love for the plum blossom
The portrait of the figure in this picture is neat and meticulous. The clothing pattern is painted with blue leaves, and the plum stone strokes are drawn from the horse and the leech, which is simple and flexible. The colors are more ingenious. The white plum, white snow, white horse and the red robe of the characters set off against each other. The colors are bright and give people a sense of cleanness, highlighting the elegance of the protagonist’s search for plum.
