Description

In this painting, the orchids are depicted with smooth and rhythmic ink lines, showcasing their elegance and delicacy. The gently curved branches and leaves of the orchids create an ethereal and graceful atmosphere. The inscription on the right side of the painting, "蕭蕭,歌楚騷,鼓素琴,霜月高," is rich in literary and musical imagery, conveying a sense of lofty detachment. These verses resonate with the purity and pride of the orchids, symbolizing them singing alone in the frosty moonlit night, like the clear sound of a plain qin.
