This handscroll depicts a range of tree-covered mountains shrouded in mist. A title written by the artist precedes the painting; the title is a line from a 1936 poem by Mao Zedong and reads "Jiangshan ruci dou jiao". It can be translated as "What a Glorious Land!", though it is also translated as "This land, so rich in beauty."
Handscroll; ink on paper; with signature in clerical script (lishu) reading "Li Junyi ling wu" (Li Junyi '05); with colophon by Liu Guosong (b. 1932) dated 2006
