Overview

Handscroll; Color on paper; 484cm(width)*22cm(height) The peach orchard is an important theme in ancient China's literary and classical arts, with the two main types being fairylands and real-world orchards. The theme of this painting is a scene from a real-world peach orchard based on human landscapes. The scroll contains mountains, green hills, flowing streams, lush forests, cottages and villages set off against one another. There are elderly men walking with sticks along the mountain path to view the waterfall, women carrying children asking for directions outside the yard fences, and four men sitting on the floor chatting and drinking. It is an ordinary rural landscape reflecting a quiet pastoral life.

Author Information

"Wen Zhengming (1470-1559), originally named Bi, was from Changzhou (present day Suzhou, Jiangsu Province). He studied Confucian classics and poetry, and especially loved painting and calligraphy, the latter of which he studied under the guidance of Li Yingzhen, and the former under Shen Zhou. He was also known by his alias, Monk of Hengshan Mountain, and was widely recognized as Wen Hengshan. In his later years, he enjoyed a high reputation for ""Wen's works across the world,"" with high demands for his calligraphy and painting. ""People across the mountains and oceans come to pay their admiration, bringing piles of fine silk for painting."" He was known as one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan, alongside Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, and Xu Zhenqing."
