Auspicious Dragon Offering Pearl


Nine Dragon Scroll is the most famous of the twenty surviving works by the Southern Song painter Chen Rong, and it is one of his later works. The dragons in this painting are full of dynamic changes. The nine dragons are placed among dangerous mountains, clouds, mist, and turbulent tides, each with a unique appearance. One dragon clings tightly to a huge rock, raising its head in anticipation; two dragons look sideways, blending with the swirling mist; three dragons stare straight ahead with bright eyes and raised claws, perched atop a large rock; four dragons are swept into a whirlpool by a sudden wave, struggling fiercely, their expressions ferocious, the pearl in their left claw seemingly crushed, their posture extremely painful; five dragons suddenly rise up, ready to fight the speeding sixth dragon; a sudden storm hits, and the seventh dragon is almost submerged in clouds and water; the eighth dragon hides in the thick fog, its tail faintly visible, with an arrogant posture; the ninth dragon rests on the rocks. In terms of composition, the dragons are depicted with varying degrees of clarity and obscurity, like the notes of a qin, creating a powerful and dynamic effect.
