Chiayi Countryside

^{The peace and tranquility of the countryside is filled with details, and the painting seems to have an unending story to tell. In the yard, the back of the woman is the central focus of the piece. The flock of chickens, children and hanging racks around her are reminders of her labor and hard work. Behind the rustic farmhouse is a modern ranch. The triangle-shaped roof is set against the distant hills, creating a dynamic pattern of rolling hills and valleys. What does the towering Mt. Jade, which always appears in Chen Cheng-po’s paintings, symbolize?}
