The brocade painting with the title of “Fancy carps chasing each other in the shade of flowers” has vividly described a cozy, harmonious and natural scene: In a midsummer day, the hibiscus tree is in leafy profusion and its flowers are in full bloom. In the shade of the flowers, a shoal of alacritous fancy carps are chasing and dallying with each other. The brocade painting is in vivid color and rich gradation. Sharp contrast is presented by the still of the shade and the motion of the carps, and one would often believe that those carps are fresh and alive in the nature.
