Outside the Sycamore Mountain House, towering into the clouds. The branches welcome the birds from the north and the south, and the leaves are sent to the wind.
The ancients once discussed the origin of the name of flower and bird paintings. The poet Liuyi knew more about the names of birds, animals, and herbs, and the four seasons also recorded its rise and fall. In Chinese painting, all works that depict flowers, insects and birds are called flower and bird paintings, and their creative intentions are often related to human activities, not copying nature, but from the encounters between flowers, plants, fish, insects and people's life, and the connection of thoughts and emotions to strengthen the performance. Ancient flower and bird paintings paid attention to both realism and the expression of beauty and kindness. The author's inner thoughts and pursuits are shown through creation. – Jiangang Su of Qinchuan, February 2022
