Among the many ancient masters who served as inspiration for Xi Gang was the 14th century master Ni Zan, reinterpreted for us by Xi Gang in the painting. The air of complete calm and stillness, conveyed by the empty rustic hut, the sparse vegetation, and the dry brush technique is in the best Ni Zan manner.
