Other versions

This work bears neither seal nor signature of the artist, but Wang Duo (1592-1653) in the inscription paper mounted above gives the artist as Dong Yuan of the Five Dynasties period. Dong, a native of Zhongling in Jiangnan (modern Nanchang in Jiangxi), excelled at "hemp-fiber" texture strokes to depict the Jiangnan landscape, establishing an important tradition in Chinese painting. Although this work reflects his style, it was actually done in the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368).

In the lower right are three figures on a bridge, two of them wearing official caps and having gone to greet a visitor. In the middleground is a lofty palatial complex hidden among the trees in the clouds, which make the blue-and-green peaks stand out clearly with grotto entrances of different sizes evident. The natural lighting of the grotto entrance accords with the Daoist notion of mountains and grottoes being immortal palaces and spiritual abodes, which religious thought says are lit by the sun and moon. Four characters for the title are in the upper left, and, although the writer is unknown, they suit well the subject of the painting.
