His paintings, poems, and calligraphies together make up a perfect, complete artistic system.This scroll's theme is the lotus. The ink splashes suggest leaves, while the calligraphic strokes depict blossoms and petals. With just a few strokes, a complex artistic conception is produced. Through the use of ink, a wide range of tonal effects is achieved, including wet, light, heavy, and dark tones in perfect combination. With his superb brush skills, Bada Shanren vividly depicts hills, rocks, streams, and driftwood. In addition, he successfully combines the use of thick and fine brushstrokes, curved and linear strokes, and dense and light ink to reach a perfect balance between empty and full. Different types of plants, such as grass, trees, bamboo, and orchids, are depicted in light ink. Heavy ink is incorporated to emphasize moss and grass, to present the interplay of solid and void, and to create a strong, dignified, solemn feeling. The waterfall presented at the end of the scroll suggests the turbulence of the artist's own life.

Autorenporträt
Bada Shanren (1626-1705), also known by the aliases Zhu Da and Xuege, was a royal descendant of Zhu Quan, the 17th son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Taizu. After the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, Bada Shanren became a Buddhist monk, then later converted to Daoism and lived at the Qingyunpu Daoist Monastery in Nanchang. Bada Shanren excelled at both painting and calligraphy, primarily painting birds and flowers in the expressive "writing idea" style, using ink splashes to produce a pure and solitary artistic conception, as well as a strange mood. Through the application of symbolic techniques, his works are expressive in the presentation of his own sentiments, with uniquely-styled strokes and outstanding skill. He is known as one of the Four Monk Masters of the Early Qing Dynasty, alongside Hong Ren, Kun Can, and Shi Tao.
