In this simple and profound work, accurate perspective, vivid image of the old farmer, refined and exquisite brush and ink lines naturally blend together, making the earth fragrant and expressing a profound theme.

According to Mr. Wang, he had been to Dunhuang in the first half of 1955 before painting this painting. A few colleagues and I formed a Dunhuang expedition, which lasted for three months and ended in summer. On the way back, I saw the state of rural areas in the north and drew many sketches, including landscapes and ordinary farmers in the north. There are also wheat in rural areas in the south of the Yangtze River, which is sown in winter and harvested in April of the following year. There are also scenes of farmers or children picking ears in the fields. Choose the north, or consider from the picture. In the south, grain is transported by burden, and in the north, it is pulled by car. A farmer picked up an ear of wheat that fell from such a big cart of grain. This contrast is stronger and the theme is clearer. ?
