3 Discuss the questions below.
(1) How do you feel when you read the article about Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains? What impressed you most about the painting?
Reading the article about Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains fills me with a sense of calm and admiration for ancient Chinese art. What strikes me most is the artist’s ability to blend nature with emotion—every line and brushstroke shows Huang Gongwang’s love for the Fuchun River landscape after years of traveling. The painting doesn’t just depict mountains and water; it conveys a peaceful philosophy of living in harmony with nature, which still feels meaningful today.
(2) What else do you know about the painting?
Beyond what the article says, I’ve learned that Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains was painted by Huang Gongwang in his 80s, taking him four years to complete. It has a dramatic history: it was burned in a fire and split into the “Remaining Scroll” (in Zhejiang) and the “Truncated Scroll” (in Taiwan). The painting also inspired many later artists, and its reunion exhibitions in 2011 and 2020 became important cultural events that connected people across the Taiwan Strait.
