The study of painting poems is also a key to understand the image of the fishing father in Wu Zhen's paintings. In wuzhen landscape paintings, most of the works are painted poems, and each poem is directed at the yufu. The yufu in Wuzhen is different from some literary works of the Yuan Dynasty and some painters in the expression of images. The fishing father in huang Gongwang and Wang Meng's paintings is sad and depressed, which is related to huang and Wang's life experience. Huang and Wang both entered the official office several times, but each time they were ostracized and went into seclusion. It was natural that the experience reflected on Yu Fu would be a little sad. And Wu Zhen has never been an official, may never have thought of an official, natural without the worry of official exclusion, seems to have a natural yearning for the fishing father. Although many of the poems of the fishermen in Wuzhen also reveal a little sad feelings, more of them show the fishermen's carefree and even optimistic feelings, and some of the poems also show some taste of life. "Orchid vivit stability, grass cloth light, bass fishing not only the name" dongting fishing hidden figure, "hill, chan, a song on fisherman's song mountain side" (near hongguzi "fishing father figure"), "yu tong drum vessels forget to seton hall, singing ripples photo wind" "yu father figure" (1342), wrote of fishermen not fame and wealth, woods, optimistic; "Small boat, to boundless, which ting Chau is not home", "wine bottle down, shore flower hanging, cast fishing rod and month sleep", (this sentence and the last sentence are taken from Lin Jinghao "fishing father figure") write the father of a relaxed, free; "Cloud shadow lianjiang Hu, and the fishers cuiwei. If the sand gulls have an appointment, accompany the fishing boat to return "(" Autumn River Fishing hidden Map"), write the idyllic life of the fishing father in seclusion, very interesting life.
