Li Bai (Tang) - Climbing Taibai Peak

Westward I climb Taibai Peak; at sunset I reach the summit. The Star of Taibai speaks to me, opening the gates of heaven for me. I wish to ride the cool wind forth, straight beyond the floating clouds. Raising my hand, I can nearly touch the moon; walking forward, there seem to be no mountains. Once I leave Wugong, when shall I ever return?

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.
