The thick pigment overflowing from the paint tubes is dotted into a grassy slope, rubbed and swirled into a bushy grove of trees. The lines were leaping around in the foreground, seemingly lively and vibrant. But if you look up in the distance, you will see Jade Mountain and an eagle drifting across the sky. The white snow-capped summit reflects the deep and faraway atmosphere.
From the outskirts of Chiayi gazing up on the mountain, Chen Cheng-po carefully expressed his impressions of the sceneries of the two worlds and arranged the magnitude and vastness of what he saw before his eyes into an exquisite art piece.
