Lin Ho-ching of the Sung lived alone in reclusion there, planting plum trees, raising cranes, and studying and writing-becoming a prototype of the lofty scholar while also bringing renown to the area. It is said that he often rowed on the lake-when friends came, attendants would release cranes, telling him to return home. This is the subject here by Hsiang Sheng-mo, a native of Chia-hsing, Chekiang. In painting, he studied Wen Cheng-ming’s style and went further back to Sung and Yüan traditions, not wishing to follow just one master. The hill is tranquil as the lake bank extends, combining imagination and reality that evokes Sung intimate landscapes.
