Under the influence of Taoist thought, what painting techniques did Ma Yuan use to express the theme of Leng Jiang Fishing?

On the empty and calm river, a middle-aged man (from the image) is fishing alone. He leaned forward slightly, absorbed. Maybe a fish took the bait at this time? When the fisherman sat at one end of the boat, the tail of the boat tilted slightly upward. There is no ink around the picture, only a few faint water ripples are marked on the side of the boat to show the river, which reminds people of the emptiness of the river, and the word "independence" stands out when people are in the center of the picture. Ma Yuan is called "the corner of the horse". He often leaves many blanks for the audience to imagine freely, overcome the complexity a little and master the means. Reality and reality are born, and everything without painting is a beautiful place!

In terms of artistic expression, this painting adopts a plane layout, and its composition has the brushwork of the Song Dynasty. The color of the picture is simple, with ochre alternating with cyan and ink. A chill makes the work dignified and lively, full of silence and Han Xiao atmosphere.
