“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.
“你不是魚，你怎么知道魚的幸福?”這句名言出自莊子與惠子的一場討論。主要是說人們可能有自己的樂趣，這種樂趣別人是無法體會的。惲壽平喜歡在這個主題上描繪水的生命。在這幅畫中，落英繽紛，吸引魚群追逐。魚是美麗的、自由的、放松的。水生植物若隱若現，為魚兒活動提供了足夠的空間。使用“去骨”技術使游泳的魚看起來更真實。從生活中畫花鳥的技術在兩宋時期已經相當成熟，在惲壽平手中得到進一步發展。
