This picture is an old Liao painting, but it is wrong. According to the research, “Youshen” is the abbreviation of the year of Yanyou Gengshan in the Yuan Dynasty
The story of “temporary bridge and alliance” is painted in this volume, with 246 people, 180 horses and 4 camels in total. It can be called the largest historical painting of the Yuan Dynasty with the largest number of people and horses and the largest scenery. The whole volume can be divided into three parts. The first paragraph depicts all kinds of horse sports and circus performances with Dangxiang people as the main body. The second paragraph depicts nomadic riding, which is the transition to the third paragraph. It depicts the story of the Bianqiao alliance, and the scene of the Turkic leader Jie Li making peace with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, at the end of the Bianqiao bridge
The whole volume is drawn in line drawing, which captures the charm of Li Gonglin in the Northern Song Dynasty. The freely moving lines show the extremely strong sense of movement of the human and horse. The strong part is powerful, and the free and easy pen is smooth. The people and horses in the painting are full of square inches, but their expressions are vivid. They can see the style of the painting, and the details are broad
