The author directly points out dyeing and ink using the capitalized method of deep ink, without seeking the appearance of objects, but only seeking changes in the dryness, wetness, and intensity of the pen and ink on the highly absorbent raw rice paper. The juicy freshness and vividness of the fruits and leaves appear in the dripping ink.

The seal “King Sun of the East China Sea” on the picture is one of Xu Beihong’s favorite seals in Chinese painting. Xu Beihong’s hometown, Yixing, Jiangsu, is near the East China Sea. In the early Tang Dynasty, Xu Maogong, a great general, was granted the title of Duke of Donghai County for his outstanding military achievements. Xu Beihong’s seal not only expresses his pride as a descendant of the Xu family in the East China Sea, but also adds legendary color and a certain amount of antiquity to his paintings.
