brief introduction
Silk book, ink pen, light color. Longitudinal direction: 1 1 1.4 cm, and transverse direction: 56 cm.
In this painting, the winter valley scenery is drawn in a straight line. In the painting, the peaks stand upright, the waterfalls flow down, the temple tower is built halfway up the mountain, and there are waterside pavilions, huts and Banqiao at the foot of the mountain, with occasional traveler activities. The rocks are magnificent and beautiful, and the dyeing pens are varied, which is not only related to the grandeur, but also the fluency of Li Cheng. The painter painted the dead wood in the cold forest with a sharp pen, and the scenery was quiet. Although it is not a dull scene, it still has the characteristics of Li Cheng's painting style. It is estimated that this painting should have been completed in the early Northern Song Dynasty, at least by Li Chengchuan.

brief introduction
Silk, light color painting, vertical: 206.3 cm, horizontal: 103.3 cm. The central axis of the masterpiece Travel Notes of Xishan, which is more than two meters high, gives the deepest impression that the mountains are pressing the surface and staring at people's eyes. For example, Xu Beihong said: "And a hill that accounts for almost two-thirds of the whole area is so abrupt that people are dumbfounded." The mountains are full of trees, full of tenacious vitality. Meticulous ideas portray the mountain firmly and vividly. A waterfall pours down from the mountain, feeling that "it's flying down three thousands of feet, and it's suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days". At the bottom of the middle foreground. Stones are vertical and horizontal, temples are looming, and streams are rushing. A close look at the abrupt stone shows that a group of travelers are struggling on the mountain road. The whole picture is full of deep, quiet and great weather.
