The large ink-colored mountains form the main subject of the painting, while the red leaves extend like veins between the valleys. Zhao Erdi intentionally suppresses the details of the mountains at this moment, allowing the ink to create a calm and heavy sense of volume. In contrast, the red leaves appear as vibrant color spots, serving as the source of rhythm and vitality in the composition. The red leaves are both a natural phenomenon and resemble the flowing lifelines within the mountains. The entire composition presents a balance between stillness and growth.
