Dialogue between the Fisherman and the Woodcutter



「Dialogue between the Fisherman and the Woodcutter」
Author : Zhang Mingshan

Dialogue between the Fisherman and the Woodcutter is a best-known archaic tune. The theme of the tune conveys hermits’ yearning of the easy life style of fishermen and woodcutters. The figure expresses the noble theme in a popular way by creating unsophisticated images. By depicting the plain clothing and facial expressions, the artist uncovers the hard life of kind, humble and honest laborers and their respectable spiritual world.
