Theme of the work:

As far as the subject matter is concerned, Xu Beihong was born in poverty and had a personal experience of farmers' life. His French teacher Dayang is also a painter who is good at depicting farmers. Xu Beihong has painted many sketches of farmers, such as an oil painting entitled "Farmers" collected by Huang Yanghui 1950, but there are not many pictures of farmers created by Chinese painting.

Cattle is Xu Beihong's favorite theme, which also stems from his local plot. Beihong was poor when he was a child. There are several acres of Gua Tian at home, but there are no cows. He usually helps his neighbors who have cows to herd them, so that he can borrow them to farm. Cattle herding became a fond memory of his childhood. During the anti-Japanese war, when he was displaced from place to place, he also repeatedly expressed his yearning for a peaceful life by using cattle grazing maps, such as in 65438+.

Song of Mountain Road is a colorful silk painting created by Tang Yin in Ming Dynasty, which is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. This painting by Tang Yin shows deep rocks, waterfalls and flowing springs. The hillside is lush and the branches are old and dry, covering the picture. Pinghu Bay at the foot of the mountain is crystal clear. A rugged wild road winds into the mountains, increasing the depth of the picture. An idle man leaned against the railing to listen to the wind, and the waiter followed. The picture is clear, the pen is meticulous and full of charm.
