裁紅（彩墨）

這是一處秋景。最大的特色是整張畫幾乎不用筆，所有大小山的皴紋都是用毛巾拍打而成（無以名之，名之曰「毛巾皴」）。

毛巾皴最能表現出台灣山林特有的植被景觀。台灣因為多雨，所以沒有一座山是禿禿溜溜的。即使沒有樹，也會長滿野草，有時看過去無垠無際的，宛如大陸華北平原上一望無際的麥田景色。

此刻秋樹剛換上紅裝，野草也開始泛褐，天候開始轉涼，秋意在畫中遞送開來。

Dressed in Red/ink and color painting

The most notable feature of this fall scene is that there are almost no brushstrokes. The folds of the mountains have been created by slapping the paper with a towel (there’s no real name for this, but they can be called “towel wrinkles”).

Towel wrinkles are the best way to portray Taiwan’s distinctive mountain forests. Because of the plentiful rain, the mountains in Taiwan are never completely bare. Even when there are no trees, the mountains are still covered with wild grass, and sometimes you can see practically forever. It is sometimes like the endless wheat fields of northern China.

This autumn tree has just changed into its red finery, and the wild grass is beginning to turn dry and brown. The weather is turning cold, and the painting captures the fall mood.＠
