Li Bai (Tang) - Hearing a Flute at Yellow Crane Tower with Shi Langzhong Qin

Once an exile, sent to Changsha; westward I gaze at Chang'an, but cannot see my home. In the Yellow Crane Tower, a jade flute is played; in the river city, in the fifth month, plum blossoms fall.

Li Zongyi's expressive ink figure painting captures the spirit of classical poetry through bold, spontaneous brushwork. The figures—whether drunkenly reciting, gazing into the distance, or lost in thought—are vividly rendered with dynamic lines and rich ink tones. The painting's generous empty space creates a profound, ethereal atmosphere, blending poetry and painting into a single artistic vision that embodies the depth of Chinese traditional culture and contemporary creative innovation.
