Li Bai (Tang) - Seeing Off a Friend

Green mountains lie north of the outer wall; white water winds east of the city. Here we part once—like a lone tumbleweed, you travel ten thousand li. Drifting clouds reflect a wanderer's thoughts; the setting sun holds an old friend's affection. Waving hands, we part from now on; the horses neigh, as if reluctant to leave.

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.
