[Horizontal frame of Baoshi Gorge River｜Smoke and waves crack the paper and foggy soul] This painting embodies the essence of Ruilin Gong's "splashing rain texture" technique. The winding river gorges resemble Li Sixun's sea and mountains, shimmering through the paper like the zhuan (Chinese Scriptures) of the Tang Dynasty. The splattering clouds and miasma fuse with the light crimson hues of the Tang Dynasty, creating a wartime mystical style. Xuan paper undergoes a secret process of eight silts and nine alums, and the ochre and ink, condensed in hail, allude to the "ink-cast thunderbolt" of the Renwu Chongqing Painting Records. The meticulous imitation technique achieves "fog city" standards, with each texture honed over twenty years of sailing through the Three Gorges. Compared to conventional horizontal facsimiles, this painting reveals the spirit of Shixi's residual brushwork. This is more than just a transfer of the imagery of rivers and mountains; it is a connoisseur-level work that blends the Dunhuang caisson pattern with the mountain spirit of the Chuci, capturing the essence of the surging mists of the contemporary masterpiece "Night Rain in Bashan."
