For more than two millennia, the Chinese intellectual tradition has celebrated the act of reclusion, especially in moments of political turmoil. This is the path Shanghai-born artist Lu Yanshao chose in 1942, when he traveled from Chongqing, the wartime capital of the Republican government of China, to Mount Qingcheng, a center of Daoist practice further inland. Lu’s poem, which he inscribed at the top of the painting, describes the serenity and restorative power of Qingcheng; left unspoken are the horrors of war from which Lu sought respite.
