This painting depicts the steep mountains and rivers from the misty empty river, and the ethereal river surface and majestic mountains form a clever contrast between reality and reality. The strange peaks are beautiful, the streams and waterfalls are struggling, the clouds are lingering, the vegetation is lush and full of vitality. The painter painted the trees on the mountain with ink, and rendered them with green and heavy colors, which has both the elegance of Li Chengzhi and the richness of Li Sixun. Deng Chun's "Painting with" said that Wang Shen "painted landscapes to learn from Li Chengjie's method, taking gold and green as ancient", which can be seen here. Wang Shen, Jin Qing, was born in Jingyou (Zhao Zhen) for three years (1036), originally from Taiyuan, and later from Kaifeng. Marry the princess of Shu, the daughter of Yingzong (), and go to Lizhou to prevent history. Wang Shen is versatile and proficient in calligraphy, poetry and painting. He himself once said, "It is only natural to love poetry and painting." He is best at landscapes, both good at ink painting and beautiful. Gu Teng, a close friend, said in The Painting History of Tang and Song Dynasties that he "had to show exquisiteness and richness in his paintings because he lived in luxury. Because it is essentially a genius of literati, you can't help but retain the lush meaning of the rivers and lakes in the picture. " Snow Scene of Fishing Village is Wang Shen's masterpiece. The content is about the fishing village, which is the work after relegating officials to close to people's lives. The picture is fishing, pulling and pulling the net. The fishermen who drink on the boat show the hard life of fishermen who can't rest despite the cold and snow, and of course they are not afraid of hardship. In addition, this "Light Snow Map" is a precedent of the ink painting school. Snow scenes are all painted with white powder. Houses, fishing boats, people's faces and old tree trunks are all slightly ochre, and the water surface and sky are dark green, reflecting the white snow. There are mountains and stones, but gold is not painted. In particular, beautiful and steep painting and subtle and changeable dyeing methods are used. This kind of ink powder is very distinctive. Landscape scenery, flat cold ponds, beautiful jade peaks, gurgling springs, crooked old trees, strange rocks in mountain springs, twists and turns. It's really ten miles deep and hundred miles wide, with beautiful mountains and rivers, which is amazing. The map of cockroach accumulation in Jiangyan River has been handed down from generation to generation in four volumes. Today, the Shanghai Museum collects the Qing Palace collection.
