Commentary:

As a technique of landscape painting, the lotus leaf lines outline the shape of lotus leaf tendons, so it got this name, which is like the pictograms in the six books of the Chinese character creation method.

He is good at painting landscapes, working on figures and animals. His landscape began with Jing Hao, his pen strength was heavy, and then he entered the painting with the real scenery of the real mountains in Jiangnan, which was not a strange and steep brush. Distant forests and distant trees, flat and deep, wrinkles are like hemp skin, and posterity is called "Phi Ma". The moss of the mountain head is fine, the water color is river and sky, the clouds and mist are obscure, the peaks are infested, the Tingzhu Creek Bridge, and the rate is more sincere. Mi Fu called his paintings "plain and innocent, and Tang did not have this product". Surviving works include "Xiajing Mountain Pass To Be Crossed", "Xiaoxiang Map", "Xiashan Map", "Creek Bank Map", "Pinglin Ji Color Map" and so on.

Creekbank map

The mountain life of the hermit is depicted: the valley between the two mountains, with a stream meandering down, merges into a rippled stream pool. There are bamboo hedgehog huts on the shore of the pond, maids working in the backyard, shepherd boys riding cattle in front of the fence, farmers rushing on the path, a pavilion stretching into the water, Coats sitting on the railing, looking up, looking extremely leisurely, and his wife is holding her children and playing with the servants, a plain but happy life scene. Behind the house, there is a hanging spring on the mountainside, which goes down the stairs to the bottom of the mountain and converges on the creek pool. The water flow and the gushing waves are drawn in thin lines, meticulously, just like the Tang style. The mountain stone is painted with light ink and wrinkles, focusing on rendering layers of light ink, rarely adding dots, and dyeing the junction of the mountain stone with thick ink to wake up the structure. This still seems to be Wang Wei's method of "ink and ink" in the Tang Dynasty. The mountains are not high, and their shape is like a big wave, and several peaks are surging to the left, which is unprecedented. The cliff top of the wave head, stacked back and forth, looks faintly in the form of an "alum head". The downward cliff resembles a valley of waves that slopes. Chinese landscape painting attaches great importance to the vein of the mountain, but such a mountain with strong dynamics is rare, and only in the Ming Dynasty Shen Zhou's "Lushan Gaotu" can only faintly see the mountain like this.
