In ancient times, there was an allusion of "a firefly reflecting snow". Is the figure in this painting the student reflecting snow? Bamboo bushes and branches form a fence, but Chai Fei is still closed. It can be seen that the host wants to close the door and thank guests and study quietly. The leaves on the roof are painted by ticking, while the bamboo leaves around the house are painted by calligraphy, which shows that the painter's techniques are delicate and changeable. The dense bamboo leaves and leaves are in contrast with the simple and sparse rocks and roofs, which enhances the sense of form and visual appeal of the picture.
As a court painter, Li Tang was often ordered to paint. During the "Jingkang Revolution", he once created the famous "Picking the Flowers of Wei", praising the loyalty and integrity of Boyi and Shu Qi in the last years of Shang Dynasty. While working in the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy, he also wrote "The Revival of Jin Wengong", praising the feat of Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that this painting is very popular with Emperor Gaozong. However, Li Tang, as a painter who has experienced many vicissitudes, rarely expresses his works, and this painting should be a witness of Li Tang's longing for a stable life.
