works appreciation
Seven-character quatrains are short. To achieve lasting charm and profound artistic conception, we should not only pay attention to refining words and breaking sentences, but also require ingenious conception. Zhang Xu, as a master of the four wonders in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was very good at conceiving. This poem is written from far to near and from the front, and then it is transported from reality to virtuality by asking questions. The conceptual layout is quite novel and ingenious.
The author's brushwork is light and free, he does not describe the scenery in a complicated way, does not spread bright and colorful colors, and uses the artistic conception of Peach Blossom Garden ethereally and naturally, thus creating a profound realm full of painting.
