Bright moon shines through the pine trees - pine trees in Chinese ancient paintings

The exhibition emphasizes ancient Oriental elements while staying very much in tune with the atmosphere of the museum, where 199 pine trees have been planted. 46 paintings exhibited in the museum have different styles from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, representing both famous painters and hermit masters unfamiliar to people. Through different perspectives and expressions of "pine trees", the exhibition reflects the special feelings of Chinese people about pine trees and their important status in history.
