   • Ink writing: the distant mountains are colored with light ink, the peaks are slightly applied with blue, the foot of the mountain is chapped with ochre, and the pine branches are outlined with burnt ink and withered brushstrokes, with the branches and leaves clustered like clouds, showing the landscape mood of “the distant mountains are covered with daisy, and the near trees are green with emerald green”.
2. Harmonious symbiosis of nature and living beings:
   • The two deer stand leisurely in the green grass, one deer looks out from a distance with its head held high, while the other stands quietly with its head hanging down, echoing the posture; the background is characterized by strong pines, jagged rocks, and red flowers, conveying the oriental philosophy of “unity of man and heaven”.
