--------Introduction in English--------
"Sweet-scented Osmanthus Rabbit Picture" Fan Page, Qing Dynasty, Li Shili Painting, Paper, Light Color, 167 cm in length, 49.4 cm in horizontal.
The Ministry of Finance "Write about the Chief of Kanyuan in the Mid-Autumn Festival of Wushen". According to the year of Li Shini's birth and death, "Wushen" was the sixth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1728).
This picture is ingeniously conceived. A white rabbit lives in the main body of the picture. Through its looking up, we can see the half-moon in the upper left corner covered by osmanthus leaves, thus vividly locating the Mid-Autumn Festival, the relationship between the white rabbit and osmanthus flowers and the moon, as well as the inherent good legend between them. The white rabbit is vivid, simple and lovely, which shows the author's strong skill in pen and ink modeling.
