Lychee (荔枝)

This painting uses extremely simple brushstrokes to depict a cluster of ripe lychees, the fruit displaying an attractive red color that contrasts vividly with the green leaves, vividly portraying the freshness and allure of the lychees. The inscription beside the painting, "Near the west of Jin River, the water is green, and lychees are red on the mountain tops after the new rain. Many taverns lie by the thousand-mile bridge, where do travelers love to stay?" paints a vivid scene: near the Jin River, the mountain tops with freshly rained-on lychees appear bright red. The beautiful river scenery and the surrounding taverns attract passersby. The verse captures the prosperity and beauty of the area, as well as reflecting people's longing for such beautiful scenery and delicious flavors.
