Xu Menglong's love for peony has its profound spiritual origin and ideological background. The symbolic meaning of peony is in line with Jiang's life experience and artistic feelings. The meaning of wealth represented by peony is that more people only pay attention to the word "Fu" in wealth, while Jianghe pays more attention to the word "Gui". This "noble" is not to show off the wealth, but to be elegant and noble in the spiritual realm.

A painter's favorite subject matter and the content that he focuses on, to a great extent, reflect the painter's ideological realm and artistic character. It is the so-called "not only to spend money alone, but also to combine reason and personnel". Like all the people who came from that historical era, the God of fate did not care for him because of the artistic talent of the river. His personal experience was extremely bumpy, but he did not feel resentment and hatred because of it. Instead, he regarded suffering as a kind of life experience and spiritual wealth, and did not miss every opportunity to learn and create. We should absorb difficulties and hardships into our hearts and transform them into rich life experiences and artistic details.

He doesn't like to paint vulgar and simple things, but always gives the scenery a quiet and distant mood. His paintings are always full of the artist's own unique life perception, reflecting the artist's artistic temperament and character feelings. In short, what he painted was not dead still life and specimen, but living life.

In the face of all kinds of frustrations and unpleasant experiences in life, Xu Menglong often said that "if you can't finish the road, stop and take it easy; if you are in a hurry, think about it and leave it for a while.". This reflects Jianghe's unique life feelings and personality feelings. It not only contains the dynamic pursuit of making good dreams come true, but also embodies the positive attitude of joining the world. It also contains the tolerant broad-minded and diluted peace of mind of laughing at one of the bad news, and reflects the feelings of being born.

In this way, Xu Menglong has always maintained an extraordinary state of mind, which enables him to jump out of the barriers of the world, escape from the net of the world, and view, observe and perceive life with an artistic vision and way of thinking. As for art, he always holds the spirit of "doing without doing". He does not stick to the established conventions and dogmas. He organically integrates fine brushwork and freehand brushwork. After in-depth observation and recognition of the scenery, he integrates his life experience and temperament and feelings, and makes a new description and interpretation of the scenery. In terms of cultural meaning, he has a deep understanding of the scenery He made a deep exploration on the level of art and symbol, created new ideographic forms in artistic language, and formed his own unique style.

Vividness and verisimilitude have always been two artistic motifs that artists must pursue in their creation. Lifelike can be vivid, but vivid is not necessarily lifelike. No discussion of poetry and painting, creating a realistic scene is not fine work, but vivid pen and ink, but can rely on the spirit of similar to achieve, the spirit of similar to convey the mood is a kind of mental attitude rather than appearance.

After decades of persistent artistic pursuit and exploration, Xu Menglong has gone beyond the level of realistic description and the surface state of objects. Instead, he has sublimed to the spiritual level and deeply explored its humanistic and symbolic significance in the context of Chinese culture. Thus, he has reached the spiritual similarity and reached the unity of artistic aesthetics and life realm at a higher level.
