This vertical scroll painting of nine fish by Dean Ou Ben features a lively composition with profound artistic conception. Nine plump goldfish, with their round, endearing eyes and full bodies, display a charming naivety—some draped in pink hues, others tinted in blue. They chase and play beneath the calabash trellis, swimming in scattered formation toward the same direction, radiating vibrant energy. The hanging gourds, elongated in shape, symbolize longevity; the nine fish, homophonic with "everlasting," convey wishes for enduring fortune. The crystal-clear blue water reveals an eco-friendly environment, while the green trellis shade reflects natural harmony. Through traditional brushwork, the work interprets the contemporary vision of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets," seamlessly blending auspicious symbolism with ecological consciousness. It carries both folk festivity and contemporary humanistic reflection—a true masterpiece bridging refined and popular tastes.
