Introduction
This work centers around a winding mountain path. The road begins from the grassy slope below, twisting and extending, ultimately disappearing into the gray clouds and mountain shadows above. There are no pedestrians or clear destinations in the scene; only the road itself becomes the focal point of observation.
Zhao Er-dai does not depict "arrival" here but rather focuses on "the process of walking." The mountain is rendered with large strokes of light ink, stable and serene; the road, on the other hand, traverses the canvas with diagonal, elongated brushstrokes, creating a sense of temporal flow. This path leads both to the mountain and to the clouds, resembling an unfinished trajectory of life—its endpoint is unspoken, yet its direction is evident.
