说真的，我在画任何一幅画之前，并没有如前人所讲的先成竹在胸，而后再呈现出来。没有，我只能说是画到哪里算哪里，随机的、慢慢整理出来。

我常觉得一幅画要美，主要是美在构图，尤其是色块、墨块之间，要安排稳当妥适，奇特而又合情合理，自能获得观者的共鸣；若构图安排巧妙，浓淡干湿都具备，色块墨点都能聚散有致，有虚有实，虚实相生，空灵而不壅塞，便可构成一张好作品。

To be honest, before I paint a painting, it's not like people used to say. that I had an idea fully formed in my head, and then I put it all down. I don't have any coherent idea. I just paint as far as my inspiration takes me, and that's it. I slowly and randomly set up a painting.

I often feel that a painting must have a beautiful composition to be beautiful. In particular, the patches of color and ink should be arranged in a firm, appropriate manner, and the layout should be distinctive yet sensible, so that the work resonates with viewers. If the composition is cleverly laid out, work possesses both light and dark tones and both moisture and dryness, the colors and ink marks are perfectly dispersed and clustered, there is simultaneously substance and illusion, the substance and illusion flow from each other, and the work is charming without being too busy, then this can be a good work.＠
