Qi Baishi created this painting in 1925 for Daisuke Nohara. Invited by his friend Guo Baosheng in 1906, Qi visited Mount Dinghu in Zhaoxing, Southern China. He was deeply moved by the grandeur of the waterfall there, which was like a screen of silver shimmering in the sunlight. The scenery was so impressive that he immersed himself in sketching. Qi even wrote a poem to commemorate this enjoyable and inspiring trip.
Waterfall in Dinghu was most probably created by Qi based on one of the sketches he made back in 1906. Compare it with an extremely similar Qi Baishi's painting of waterfall, now in the collection of the Hunan Museum. Not only was it created identically in the eighth month of yichou year (1925), its size, composition, brushwork and treatment of ink and colour are all very similar, thus making Waterfall in Dinghuan a precious piece of early art by Qi Baishi.
