This painting contains an auspicious visual pun. The Chinese theme of a boy flying a kite symbolizes “May you rise high with the spring wind” (chunfeng deyi), implying “May you have a successful career and rise in rank.” The breezy willow branches reinforce this theme. Baishi painted this one winter, while waiting for spring.
