This is my 20th Portrait painting, the 520th
Chinese Xieyi Painting and
my 952th painting since 2003 and the 354th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.
I created this painting for matching a Chinese Classical Poem by Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) poet Liu Zongyuan (773—819) Jiang Xue:
江雪 - Jiāng Xuě
唐 - Táng
柳宗元 - LiǔZōngyyuán
千山鸟飞绝 - Qiāng shān niǎo fēng jué，
万径人踪灭 - wàn jìng rénzōng miè miè。
孤舟蓑笠翁 - Gūzhōu suōlìwēng，
独钓寒江雪 - dú diào hán jiāng xuě。
There are no bird flying over the thousand mountains,
There are no footprint on the ten thousand pathways.
There is only an old man in the grass rain cape and bamboo hat in an boat,
Fishing alone on the cold river in the snow.
Since I have not created a piece of music and an article to match it yet, so, instead of put this painting into my cross-culture and comprehensive art column, temporarily, I put it in the Chinese Xieyi Painting column.
How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?
