This is my 35th Combined Paintingthat I created for Chinese Classical Poetry, It is also my 518th painting since 2003 and Also, it is the 48th(70th) painting (practice) that I have created in 2010.

After creating 8 Plum blossom paintings and be given five 80, one 90, and two 95 scores by my Chinese art professor in the past two weeks. I created my 9th and 10th plum blossom painting below, and my Chinese art teacher gave me one 92 and one 93 scores.

I created the last two paintings to match a Chinese classical poem by Gao Shi(704 - 765) in Tang Dynasty (618 - 907).

Send-off usually is a sad thing. However in the poem, there is no any sadness, but so much encouragement and comfort.

I appreciate the optimistic emotion in the poem and I want to encourage myself with this kind of positive emotion and life attitude.

Therefore, I had created a piece of music in Nov, 2005. This weekend, I have corrected this music and re-translated it. Also, I played the music and sang the poem, re-explained the meaning of the poem on the painting and every Chinese character and re-make a record for you already.

The Main Meaning of the Poem

Yellow clouds stretch for a thousand miles, covering the sunlight,
The north wind blows the wild geese through the flurrying snow.
Don't worry there is no a dear friend on the future road,
In the world there is no one who does not know you.

Chinese Characters

别董大

高 适 (704-765)

千里黄云白日曛 - Qiānlǐ huángyún báirì xūn,,
北风吹雁雪纷纷 - běifēng chuī yàn xǔe fēnfēn。
莫愁前路无知己 - Mòchóu qiánlù wú zhījǐ,
天下谁人不识君 - tiānxià shuírén bù shí jūn。
