Research On Li Tang's "Picture Of Qingxi Fishing Hidden"

?A Fishing Life on the Riverside?is a representative work of Li Tang's landscape paintings in his later years.Its style and image mirror the political situation and social background in the early Southern Song Dynasty.From the perspective of stylistics,the transformation of Li Tang's paintings not only promotes the development of freehand brushworks in the Southern Song Dynasty,but also serves as a bridge to the landscape paintings in the Yuan Dynasty.Based on the iconography,the paper analyzes the "water-powered trip-hammer" and "the fisherman" in the painting,and demonstrates that ?A Fishing Life on the Riverside?is the combination of both a "politically attuned and harmonious" utopian empire described by the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty,and an “idyllic and tranquil” retreat world in the dream of writers and painters in that era.
