The depths of the ink are vast
——Xiao Suhong's painting
Author/: Jin Song
Northern Wind
Blow up your hair
Take your shadow
Reflected in the black water of the White Mountains
Rain in the south
Wet your shirt
Take your affection
Infiltrate on the edge of the bluestone slab bridge
You carry a paintbrush
"Drifting" all the way
Cross the sea
Over the mountains
Arrive at the other side of the dream
Over here
The ink is like a pool
Deeply hidden
The colors are like rainbows
Dazzling in front of your eyes
Experienced in the past
Linking fleeting memories
The accumulation of years
Activate creative inspiration
I've been caring since I was a child
To the rise of the big me
From the microscopic compassion
To the macro reproduction
Send love pen and ink
Face the vast expanse of the earth
This earth is constantly "drifting"
Let your gaze travel through light years
Arrive at reality and remoteness
Refract the mind
Ask the soul
Where will the continent drift?
Where will the mind wander?
Brush dipping ink
Between swings
Where is my spiritual home?
thereupon
The sea is your surging ink
The earth is your palette
You invite love to the wheat field
You summon your thoughts to the white clouds
You take your breath from the wind
You borrow from the blue sky
Life is sacred in your heart
The heart is the harbor where you arrive
Under your brush
Endless continental drift
Reflects the texture of life
In front of your painting
The collision of all things in nature
Burst out of the visual beauty
In the intermingling of the heart
Fusion of surface compactions
The spirituality and magnificence that gives birth to all living beings
You use ink dipped in affectionate pen and ink
Free up the imagination
Unleashes expressiveness
Innovation is blooming
Flowing in your blood
A thousand turns
From cold zone culture to marine culture
From the domain culture to the colonial culture of the Shanghai school
Even the superposition of Chinese and Western cultures
Who can say
This is not one
Drift and collision on the surface of the soul
Regardless of scribble with hook lines
Smooth and cover
Stretch and bloom
Dripping with joy and pleasure
The distance between the shape of the picture and the reality produces fantasy
And all this intention arises
It all comes from the fierceness and grandeur that surges within you
This is beyond the original pictorial narrative
And sublimated to the soul narrative
Such an abstract expression
Make your art abound
Hand brush
You are silent
Like this earth
Outwardly speechless
It's hard to hide the ripples of the heart
Through your deep gaze
We see the world
There is a sense of symbiosis in it
There is also a sense of overlook
Close your eyes and meditate
We feel the cry of the depths of the earth's heart
Impact in drift
Fusion in impact
This is an aerial photograph of the mind
This is a close-up of the mind
The land of rulers
Clean and clear
Between pen and ink

Sit on the ground and travel eighty thousand miles a day

Stretch out the ink and ink
That's it
The home we live on
The sea is wide
Sky blue
Generations forever
