Xu Ying (1917-1981), courtesy name Dafang, was born in Tongcheng, Anhui, and graduated from the Wuchang Art Academy. Drawn to literature and art from childhood, she frequently viewed and copied the paintings and calligraphy in her family’s collection. She later studied painting under master Huang Chun-pi. After World War II, Xu relocated to Taiwan, where she held civil service positions at the Military Engineering Commission, the Council for United States Aid, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Xu also developed a deep friendship with former President C. K. Yen through their shared passion for calligraphy. In 1973, she was awarded the Golden Jue Award by the Art Society of China. In 1965, she was invited to participate in NMH’s “Exhibition of Ink Painting by Contemporary Masters.”
《松溪訪友》，為徐瑩1961年水墨設色紙本作品。畫作前景巨松茂密，以短披麻皴作山坡稱景。持杖高士帶著童子正過橋訪友，友人在林間屋舍等候，遠景以長披麻皴描繪層巒疊嶂，其間流瀑宛如白練，雲霧縹渺。款：松溪訪友。辛丑十一月，徐瑩畫於臺灣。印：徐瑩。玉雪堂。
Visiting a Friend by a Pine-Lined Stream is an ink and color on paper painting by Xu Ying in 1961. Tall, dense pines dominate the foreground, complemented by slopes contoured with short hemp-fiber texture strokes. A scholar carrying a walking stick crosses a bridge with a young attendant to visit a friend, who waits within a secluded retreat nestled among the trees. In the distance, overlapping mountain ranges are defined by long hemp-fiber texture strokes, through which a cascading waterfall descends like a ribbon of white silk amid drifting clouds and mis.
