When the autumn is high and the clouds are cool, the sky is full of frost and leaves.

The entire picture is composed in a cutaway style. The majesty of Cuiwei on the steep mountains is further strengthened. The stone walls written with a hard pen and scattered front are towering and steep, and the faint green smoke rising from the mountains flows everywhere. A scholar and a child walk along the lush path with a staff, and the thick and humid heat seems to have been engulfed by the green peaks in the eyes, disappearing without a trace. Although the picture is called “Summer Mountain”, there is no sense of boredom brought to the viewer by the scorching sun and humid air. Instead, it makes people feel cool and cheerful, which is precisely the ingenuity of the painter
In 1944, Zhou Enlai gathered with people from the literary and artistic circles at Laijiaqiao, Chongqing, and asked the painter for this picture. After that, after experiencing wars and frequent migrations, they were found to be completely intact. Fortunately, they were very lucky. After 1949, it was hidden in Zhongnanhai. Later, it was collected by the Palace Museum
