- Description:
Shen Zhou (1427-1509 AD) was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is named Qinan, Shitian, and Baishiweng. He is good at poetry, calligraphy, landscape, and painting flowers and fruits, feathers, etc. This picture of sitting at night covers Shen Zhou’s life. There is an article on the top that tells me something about myself. It means that I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. After a long time of rain, it was sunny again, and the moonlight reflected on the window. After a long time, I gradually heard the sound of wind, the sound of dogs, the sound of drums, and the sound of bells since dawn. Shen Zhou often reads at night and rests at the end of the second shift. His heart is in the words, so he can’t see the capital. This time, he feels the power of sitting still. The picture means to draw the story of sitting in the night. He was sixty-six years old.
