When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was the King of Qin, there were eighteen counselors in his mansion.

Yao Wenhan painted this volume in the 17th year of Qianlong, with Ji Huang’s regular script “Praise of the Eighteen Scholars”, which is the same composition as the “Painting of the Eighteen Scholars of the Tang Dynasty in the reign of Liu Songnian” in the courtyard collection. The color is bright and beautiful, the pen is fine and vigorous, the figure’s face is slightly shadowy, with a three-dimensional sense, and the details of all kinds of furniture and utensils are well described.
