Gerard Tsang and Hugh Moss explained in their entry for this brushpot in the aforementioned exhibition article that: 'The natural-looking gnarled and knotty appearance of this piece is entirely contrived. But within the scholar's aesthetic it was almost certainly not intended to be entirely natural looking. [... It employs] highly stylised, simplified and abstracted naturalism, in which aspect [it echoes] the paintings of the literati. To the patrons, such pieces spoke eloquently of the subtle human mind and express the understanding that good art is no slave to nature, but a full partner in man's pursuit of understanding.
Dong Qichang, the late Ming artist and literati theorist, wrote "As for those who meticulously and carefully delineate, they can only be called slaves of nature."'
