The Chinese title is "Jing Shan Ban Shi Yun" which means "Quite Mountain, Half is Clouds". That's a direct translation, this really means "The Mountain is Tranquil because of the Clouds that cover Half of it". We use a lot more articles in English, compared to Chinese, so it takes us a lot more words to get the meaning in the west.
This painting is really big and has nice detail. It depicts a well-established waterfall that has carved these rocks for thousands of years.
Besides the title, the other characters include the season and year painted (Early Summer, 2006), and the artist's signature.
The artist's name is Zhong Shan. He has kind of retired from painting now (at least he was talking about retiring when I got these paintings from him), but specialized in paintings like this. He now lives in a village outside of Guilin in Southern China.
