This picture was during the phase of "figure painting." All of these paintings have a religious theme behind them. If you're not highly educated in Chinese culture and religion, it may be hard to see the religious meaning behind them.

This painting is from the "flower and bird" phase. This period of art was the most successful. Flower and bird paintings focus on flowers, fruits, birds, insects, bamboo, trees, and spring.

This painting was from the Landscape era. Landscape was later broken down into two different types of paintings, the "blue and green landscapes" and the "ink-and-wash" paintings. This painting is a blue and green landscape.
