This is my 53rd Combined Paintingthat I have created / painted for Chinese Classical Poetry, and my 653rd painting since 2003 ; also, it is my 25th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.

I had painted the painting below to match the Chinese classical poem Yong E -- Sing the Geese by Luo Binwang (618 - 907) as the graphical interpretation of the peom, to show its meaning in August, 2011.

Since I did not find a good place to write my translation in that painting, to help you and my readers to understand the meaning of the poem more directly, I have been thinking of how to do it better until this week, I painted the new painting.

I do not satisfy this painting yet, I will repaint it someday.

I do hope that my effort will be some help with you to learn Chinese culture and language.

Main Meaning of the Poem :

Sing the Geese

By Luo Binwang (Tang)

Geese, geese, geese,
Bend their necks to sing to the sky,
White feathers float on the green water,
Red webbed feet paddle the clear waves.
