It is known that it was made in the third year of Yuanyou, Song Zhezong (1088), when Mi Fu was 38 years old.

This volume uses the pen with the center straight down, thick fiber and strong fiber, and the pen is fast and unrestrained. In particular, the front, the side, the hide and the dew are varied, the stippling twists and turns are transitional and coherent, and the relief is natural and elegant, without any trace of carving. Its structure is smooth, the central palace is slightly restrained, and the balance of the center of gravity is maintained. At the same time, the long painting is vertical and horizontal, stretching freely, rich in ups and downs. The whole text leans slightly to the left, with the tendency of many sides, and seeks to flatten the barbarians in the dangerous force. The whole volume of the book is frank and natural, full of joy, change and interest, reflecting the typical appearance of Mi Fu’s middle-aged book. Wu Qizhen’s “Calligraphy and Painting Records” commented on this post, saying: “The style of writing is elegant, the structure is smooth, and it covers the person who imitates Yan Lugong’s calligraphy.” It shows the artistic characteristics of the book’s patriarchal clan, Yan Zhenqing, and his own new ideas
At the end of this volume, there is the postscript of his son Mi Youren: “On the right hand side, the poems of Zhuyou and others are presented. First, the authentic works are managed by the minister, and then the postscript of Gong is identified by Mi Youren.” On the back paper, there is another postscript of Ming Li Dongyang.
