Ink bleeds into silk like morning fog over the Yangzi, dissolving peaks into soft, layered shadows. This scroll marks refuge in exile—each dot a breath of gratitude for shelter.
How many unseen rivers lie hidden in the mist between those calligraphic columns?

<em>Cloudy Mountains</em> captures the view of a lush and misty riverscape, an impression of Mi Youren’s new environment, painted in a moment of peace. <br><br>With the fall of the Northern Song dynasty in 1127 upon the Jurchen’s military invasion, Mi Youren fled south across the Yangzi River. In 1130, he had reached Xinchang in Zhejiang province and thanked his host with this painting for having given him shelter. <br><br>Mi Youren was the oldest son of the art critic Mi Fu (1051– 1107); both developed a distinct style of mountain scenery by accumulating wet ink dots that create a hazy atmosphere.
