(Primary Title)
Zhu Yixiong (I-Hsiung Ju) 朱一雄, American, 1923 – 2012 (Artist)
Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River is a series of sixteen scrolls exploring the landscape vistas along the Yangtze River through painting, calligraphy, and poetry. The late Washington and Lee University professor Zhu Yixiong incorporated contemporary subjects into the otherwise traditional art form. Moving eastward across China, the landscape seamlessly shifts from mountains to agrarian lowlands and modern cityscapes, featuring historic, religious, and geographical landmarks along the Yangtze.
Modern period (1912-present)

葛洲壩.。峽裏湍急舟難推，從中築壩動風雷。 如今水位随心改，航船成千去若飛。 丙戌冬日丹鋒作於佛州
