The pen is not hurried, not humble, and the pen marks are round and thick. The faint ink color and the superposition of multi-layered water stains make the picture hazy and chaotic, both simple and intriguingly rich, which is the realistic interpretation of the so-called "ink five colors". This seemingly inadvertent but actually highly difficult and high-style pen and ink pursuit not only reflects the unique representation of painting, but also implies cultural connotations.
