Can you spot the snow-covered rooftops in this painting? The delicate white snow adds a touch of elegance to the ancient architecture. As Major Snow (dà xuě; Chinese: 大雪) – the 21st solar term of the year – arrives today, winter unfolds in all its frosty charm.
This exquisite silk fan painting vividly captures the winter scenery around Lin'an (present Hangzhou) in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), encompassing details of buildings and distant mountain vistas. Collection: Palace Museum.
