| 内容简介（英文） | Ch'iao Chung-ch'ang, active late in the Northern Sung, was a native of Ho-chung (Yung-ch'i, Shansi). He was skilled in various genres of painting, particularly figure painting and religious subjects. He modeled his style after Li Kung-lin. Two old cypress trees grow entwined in a garden, their foliage covering the sky. Five children are seen below: one, half-naked, stands on his head while two others clap their hands and encourage from the side. At the left, another child, carrying a baby on his back, hears the commotion and comes to investigate. The concentration in the children's eyes is well-depicted; portrayed in various actions. Their manners and attitudes are filled with vitality. |
