This is my 86th Combined Paintingthat I have created / painted for Chinese Classical Poetry, and my 825th painting since 2003 ; also, it is my 216th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.

This is the first time that I painted a picture to match the Chinese poem Wan Chun by Han Yu ( 768 - 824).

Main Meaning of the Poem

Late Spring

by Han Yu (Tang Dynasty)

The grass and trees " know " spring will be back soon,
Show their last fragrant with red, purple and all colors.
Willow catkin and elm seeds have no much talent / color to show,
Still they are flying as snow all over the sky

草木知春不久归 - Cǎo mù zhī chūn bù jiǔ guī,
百般红紫斗芳菲 - bǎibān hóngzǐ dòu fāngfēi。
杨花榆荚无才思 - Yánghuā yújiá wú cáisī,
惟解漫天作雪飞 - wéi jiě màntiān zuò xuě fēi。
