1, drinking horses in autumn suburbs

Drinking Horses in Autumn Suburbs is a silk color painting created by Zhao Mengfu, a painter in Yuan Dynasty, and is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing. This painting depicts shepherds grazing horses in the wilderness in early autumn.

There are more than a dozen horses in different shapes in the picture, which are fat and strong and have different postures. Some of them drink water by the river, some chase and play, some raise their heads and scream, and they are a cheerful and lively scene. The trees on the shore are beautiful and unique, and the river is gentle and wave-free, showing picturesque scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

2. "Show stones and forests"

"Showing the Stone and Shrubbing the Forest" is a paper ink painting created by Zhao Mengfu, a painter in the Yuan Dynasty, and is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing. This new ancient wood painting was born on a flat slope between Shi Xiu. It was painted with flying white stones, seal script and pure ink.

It is the concrete embodiment of the author's theory of "painting and calligraphy are homologous" in painting practice. In the whole picture, the boulder is empty, the bamboo leaves are beautiful and moist, and the dead trees are barren and simple, forming a natural literati atmosphere.
