Magpies Leaping, Fishes Gathering

In the painting, several magpies are in various postures. Some are on the verge of spreading their wings to fly, while others stand quietly on the branches, looking lively and vivid. Below, on the water surface, fish swim joyfully. In Chinese culture, magpies are symbols of auspiciousness, signifying that happy events are about to arrive, and willow trees add the exuberant vitality of spring. Yang Bailiang uses simple yet expressive brush and ink strokes to skillfully outline the beautiful moments in nature, creating a cheerful, peaceful and vibrant atmosphere.
