The inscription on this painting originated from the Buddhism. It means an enlightened being as the divine one . As the deity is immortal, so it also means the forever existence. And the word “light”（光） in the description is a metaphor of everlasting life.
The images in the painting embodied symbolical meanings . The images of crane , pines , cypresses and precipitous mountains appeared as auspicious symbols of longevity. In the foreground there are a pair of precious birds ,sliver pheasants, which is to add some vitality in the painting and also for the composition purpose.
As landscape is the paramount and enduring theme of Chinese painting , I search among the “ancients” for inspiration, and sought to revitalize ancient ideals with more contemporary notions. Therefore I emphasize to express the solid rocks and the majesty mountain scenery so in some measure it shows fidelity to the visual aspect of nature . For the purpose to create the magnificent beauty of mountains , the foreground is peak girdled by clouds and mist. In the middle, the mountains begun to build up to a crescendo in the tallest peaks, while endless ranges are suggested in the upper part.
