This painting depicts the illusory realm of Baishi mountain after the rain, filled with water and fog. The Red Crowned Crane in the painting symbolizes longevity and loyalty. The image of Red Crowned Crane appears in literature and art works of various countries, and it is often regarded as a symbol of high official position. For example, the pattern of red crowned cranes flying in the air symbolizes “the rise of official positions”; Cranes are also very common in the development of Taoism. They are full of immortality。

這幅作品描繪了雨後白石山，水霧彌漫的虛幻境界，畫中的當丹頂鶴是象徵著長壽，忠贞的形象在各国的文学和美术作品中出現，也常把丹顶鹤作为官员职位高的一种象征。例如丹頂鶴在空中飞翔的图案，就象征着“官位高升”；仙鹤在道教的发展中也很常見，仙氣飄飄，仙風道骨。
