“You are not fish, how would you know the happiness of fish?” This famous statement came from a discussion between Zhuangzi and Huizi. The point is that people might have their own fun which others cannot appreciate. Yun Shouping liked to paint water life on this theme. In this work, fallen flowers attract a school of fish chasing after them. The fish are beautiful, free, and relaxed. The water plants are half visible, providing enough space for the activities of the fish. The use of “boneless” techniques makes the swimming fish seem more real. The technique of painting flowers and birds from life was already quite sophisticated in the two Song dynasties and it became further developed in the hands of Yun Shouping.
“你不是鱼，你怎么知道鱼的幸福?”这句名言出自庄子与惠子的一场讨论。主要是说人们可能有自己的乐趣，这种乐趣别人是无法体会的。恽寿平喜欢在这个主题上描绘水的生命。在这幅画中，落英缤纷，吸引鱼群追逐。鱼是美丽的、自由的、放松的。水生植物若隐若现，为鱼儿活动提供了足够的空间。使用“去骨”技术使游泳的鱼看起来更真实。从生活中画花鸟的技术在两宋时期已经相当成熟，在恽寿平手中得到进一步发展。
