This is a typical court painting in the style of Wang Ximeng from the Northern Song Dynasty around 1000 AD , rendered in the blue-green landscape style , with exquisite and high-quality mounting. At the center of the painting is a majestic mountain , with continuous mountain ranges on both sides and in the distance. At the foot of the mountain , a stream meanders , and two monks are crossing a small bridge over it. A faint path winds its way up the mountain , sometimes disappearing into the clouds , sometimes suddenly appearing before the eaves of a temple half-hidden by the massive mountain , where monks are entering the temple gate. The surrounding mountains are steep and imposing , with several pine trees growing on the cliffs , blocking the early morning sun. The mountaintop is almost entirely covered by clouds , yet through gaps in the mist , a corner of a pure white jade palace , seemingly a celestial palace , is visible , with cranes appearing to fly nearby in the clouds. The exaggerated composition of this Chinese painting creates a sense of contrast between the human world and the celestial realm , from the foot of the mountain to the summit.
