Product details

A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains was created by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng. It depicts the continuous mountains and rivers and cultural landscapes with brilliant colors and grand composition. It is the last work of the 18-year-old genius painter and is now in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing.

A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains transcends mere artistry to function as a metaphysical powerhouse—channeling dragon veins, encrypting alchemical codes, and crystallizing the Song dynasty’s cosmological ambitions. To possess it is to commune with the primal forces of shan shui (山水), transforming space and psyche into vessels of the eternal Dao. Like Wang Ximeng’s fleeting genius, the painting exists at the liminal edge of mortality, offering those who safeguard it a glimpse into the undying pulse of creation itself.
