"Lumei Mountain bird Picture" its composition is very simple, but clever and interesting。On the picture, a wintersweet tree leans out，The branches are bent by chickadees，But it's still going strong，Very elastic，A pair of chickadees snuggled up to each other on the back;moreover，Its most characteristic is，Thin gold body right below the inscription and left below the postscript poem as well as the roots of two clusters of flowers and plants，It makes up for the top-heavy problem caused by the large proportion of birds in the center of the painting。

In the painting "Lumei Mountain Birds", both flowers and birds are vivid, natural and vivid。Such as the orchid in the painting, its luxuriant business, moist and elegant, showing the flexible and graceful character of the orchid。Orchid is a unique style of flowers, its character is tough, evergreen, can survive in harsh environments。The wind and frost are cold, the spring is cold, still in bud, and the aroma is elegant。It also depicts the similar character of orchids and plum that they are not afraid of cold。
