Nighttime in the Mountain Residence (夜色山居圖)

This ink and light color painting, titled "Nighttime in the Mountain Residence," depicts the serene scene of a mountain residence at night. The artwork uses ink and soft colors to illustrate the tranquility and peace of the mountain setting. The bright moonlight falls on the forest, adding a layer of mysterious radiance to the scene. In the painting, the distant mountains undulate, the nearby trees are lush, and houses are scattered throughout, presenting a harmonious natural landscape. The inscription on the painting reads, "Tonight the bright moon is watched by all, yet who knows where the autumn colors are." This verse is profound and evocative. It describes the beauty of an autumn night under the moonlight, expressing a sentiment of gazing into the distance at such a beautiful scene, yet not knowing where the autumn colors have settled. This poem perfectly complements the painting, adding poetic depth and enhancing the overall aesthetic experience.
