Cui Hao (Tang) - Yellow Crane Tower

The sage of old has already ridden the yellow crane away; here only remains the Yellow Crane Tower. The yellow crane, once gone, never returns; white clouds drift on, empty for a thousand years. The sunlit river clearly shows Hanyang's trees; fragrant grasses grow lush on Parrot Isle. At dusk, where is my homeland? The misty river brings sorrow to a man.

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.
