This is my 82ndCombined Paintingthat I have created / painted for Chinese Classical Poetry, my 734 painting since 2003;also, it is my 125th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts since Oct 7, 2011.

This is also the 4th time I painted a picture to match the same poem and the music I created for it since 2007. I painted this painting on the Chinese National Day vacation and I do hope it is near the artistic conception of the poem and be some help with you to learn Chinese culture and the language.


Main Meaning of the Poem

Lush grass grows on the ancient plain,
Each year it withers and flourishes,
Wildfire cannot burn it out,
It re-grows in the spring breeze.
